The Irish Inquisition: Combating the heresy of the EPL and Celtic FC on the Irish People since 2013

You're like the Celtic of Ireland now!

Nah more like the Bayern lol. Poaching youngsters from other Irish clubs ftw!!

For manager Mike Korrigan this final was very special as it was his 100th match in charge of the club. Looking to make this special he was looking for a positive outcome. Well the Rovers made his day as they shutout Championship side Bray Wanderers to claim the title.

This match was Captain Robbie Keane's first trophy as captain of the squad. A few months back Korrigan made the switch of captains amid a huge firestorm with many believing it was favoritism."Being apart of this club is special at first I was a little apprehensive about the move, but it has paid off."-Robbie Keane

Keane would start off the scoring after an easy finish during the 17th minute. Later on Bray would cause two errors leading to two Rovers goals. The second goal of the night came from Tadanari Lee as he took advantage of Gav Boynes error. The third and final goal came from wonderkid Jim Mulholland. He would score from an error in close range.

In other news before the match the club announced the signing of Croatian youngster Tomislav Kiš from Hajduk Split. The transfer deal that will go ahead on 1 July is estimated to be just under 1 million Euro. Since joining Split in 2011 he has not lived up to the hype. So far in the 2014-15 season he has only made 10 appearances with only one goal.

Since taking over Shamrock, Mike Korrigan has been a force to be reckoned with. During his time they have won two league titles (season is not over yet but they have mathematically won), one EA Sports Cup, one Irish Shield and one All-Ireland Cup. He is looking to finish the season up with victories in the All-Ireland Cup and the FAI Cup.

Congrats! Not a bad 100th game

Well done for the 100th game you did very, very well

Well done mate! Congrats!

Another excellent month!
You are dominating the league and well done on the cup win

Over 20 points advantage! Great!

Great results! And look at that 20 point gap! Wow!!

I hear the crowd chant bring on Barca!!

Get Ebanks-Blake to see a witch doctor or something, Jeez! Top month as always Practically Champs

Pompey Thanks man!!
AAN It feels good
Jason We want everyone lol
Paddy Yeah tell me about it. I might ship him out due to these injuries. You will see an interesting update based on that later on.

After Shamrock's 1-0 victory over Drogheda the one thing the players and fans were waiting for finally came. A few minute after the final whistle blew Shamrock were awarded the League of Ireland trophy for their 19th time in club history. This was their second in a row as well as fourth in six years.

Even though they have two league matches left Shamrock have won the title in convincing fashion. With two matches left they have tied the League of Ireland record of mosrt points in a season at 85. They also have not lost a league match in 39 matches. 16 of these wins have came in the form of three points. This 16 game win streak is also a record.

The rovers had a season full of surprises. Thanks to the injury to Sylvan Ebanks-Blake earlier in the season we got to see 16 year old Jim Mulholland take control. During his short time with the first team he has lead in many categories including assist. The signing of Robbie Keane also was a factor in their dominance.

Now the Hoops will be on a four game road trip. They will be away at Cork and Athlone to finish out the league. After that they will be at the Aviva Stadium for the two cup finals. They will be facing Limerick in the FAI Cup Final (13 May) and Derry City in the All-Ireland Cup Final (16 May). If all goes according to plan and they win those two competitions, Shamrock will have the famous Irish Quad.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent job with shamrock btw
