 * Keep - played in the highest level league in the country and reached the final of the most prestigious knock-out tournament in the country, seems notable enough to me...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - previously played in the League of Ireland - which is a (the) national football league in Ireland. DavidDublin (talk) 08:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. I'd be VERY surprised if their FAI Cup final appearance didn't generate any meaningful media coverage at the time. Bettia   (talk)  09:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment The article still lacks any references to this final appearance. Without those references, notability just cant be demonstrated. RadioFan (talk) 12:25, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Two references to The Times added -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:34, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * .....along with two others not relating to the cup final appearance. Article clearly passes the GNG by a country mile -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:45, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Just added another two, making six sources from reliable, independent, third-party publications. Suggest nominator withdraws -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:50, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Good work Chris. In any case, though refs are needed to meet WP:GNG, that is just a guideline and it is open to the Community to determine that a page is notable without them. This nomination is a Dead Parrot. TerriersFan (talk) 17:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
