Like I said above, they had a bad season after major changes to the team. We on the other hand have been getting steadily worse for three seasons. IL acknowledged this in his speech. Hethrington put his coach on notice early this season when things started poorly.
And let's not underestimate the effect of your opponents in a final ban arguably the best full back in the competition just before the final and the effect that will have had on a team who looked streets ahead of the rest.
DaveO they were calling for his head the season before they did the treble as well. I bet end of April they will have a thread up their of McDermott out.

Result? there for all to see. Winning ways with roughly the same playing staff; nearly made the GF; fans back on-side and can't wait for next season. Open your eyes Mr Chairman and ACT.
You mean that team with a new coach who their fans love, that we beat twice last season - and should have won all 3 if Tierney had punched that bomb into touch !
