No we absolutely don't want to see Cobh promoted. Maybe people from Cobh but that's it. The last thing we need is another sh*tty club in the Premier division. As bad as Cork are they have a good fanbase that are good for the league, away support, good ground etc etc.

They could come up and ground share with Sligo sure.

Cobh marginally looking the better of the two sides so far but Waterford should've buried a shot from about 4 yards out just before HT. 

Could go either way but hard to see past Waterford still.

I wouldn't be a giant Keegan fan but Ramblers had a fantastic season. Hard to see them competing with teams getting big money owners in now like Treaty and either Cork City/Waterford again. 

Unlucky tonight but they died with their boots on.

Should be a toss of a coin to decide where the match is played,either Turner's Cross or the RSC Waterford.No point in making fans go to  Dublin.

It should go back to a 2 leg home and away final but it's not going to change now so it's off to Tallaght next Friday night. Can Waterford finally win a play-off final? Looking forward to it.

A fantastic effort all season. Punching above our weight to the bitter end. 
No denying Waterford were the better team last night. Giles Phillips was incredible. Didn't lose a header last night and nailed the one for the winner unfortunately.

Not sure how next week will go. I can't see City being able to cope with Coughlan.

Keegan has plenty of doubters but he's done a great job. Most likely route for promotion next season will be the play-offs again, which is a tough slog in itself. 

It's surely now or never for Waterford. Can't see how they can continue as they are for another season in the First Division.

For my money, he's one of the most impressive Ramblers managers that I can recall. Conducts himself very well. Puts thought into his signings and has then obviously backed it up on the pitch.
People judge him on his time with Dundalk but as he has said himself, there's no manager who could have coped with the crap he had to put up with there.

Yeah I can't see Tricor putting in much of their own money. They are only co-owners so interesting to see what roles they'll play.

New CEO Ciara McCormack was talking about how she wanted to start a women's team in Cork but the FAI said no and encouraged her to get involved with an existing club.

Said a friend's father I think was a part of the Tricor investment firm and she got onto them to get involved with the project.

Honestly can't see why any investment firm would wanna get involved with a LOI club, especially an amateur club because there's f**k all investment to make. Be better off going to Vegas and putting all your money on black. You might actually make money.

League of Ireland is one of the easiest routes to Europe. Thats why people invest. They're after the big bobs from UEFA.
