Watch the FAI Ford Cup final live on RTÉ Two and worldwide on RTÉ.ie from 2.30pm. Live updates on RTÉ Radio 1, DAB and online on RTÉ.ie.
We had a very busy show this week, with action from the seven Premier Division games, the two key First Division games, the PFAI awards package, the Goal of the Season competition, and the FAI Cup final preview.
As a result, we didn't get a chance to discuss 'Liftgate', or 'Elevatorgate', depending on what part of the country you come from. I arrived into Studio 6 at about 7.20pm, 40 minutes before we went live with the programme, to be met by the director Kevin O'Connell who told me that Roddy, Dave ,Colm and the ever efficient Anthony McDonnell, the programme's runner, were all stuck in a lift on the way down to make up.
The attached slightly out of focus photo taken seems to show that the lads in the lift weren't particularly perturbed by their predicament.
I was quite looking forward to introducing the show and telling the nation that our esteemed panellists were all stuck in a lift , but fortunately for us all, they were rescued just in time, and actually made it to studio with a couple of minutes to spare.
Dave and Colm told me afterwards, that what had happened was that Roddy was jogging up and down on the spot in the lift, describing how much fitness work he had done ahead of our forthcoming pundits and production team match at Inchicore. I think Mr Collins reckons he still has a bit of the magic left, but despite the fact that the lift is designed for 13 people, the lift makers obviously hadn't planned for the old Collins two step and the motor downed tools there and then.
When the lads got to studio it was pretty much straight down to business. Chat time was tight because we had so much footage to show from the various games, and I received a couple of emails after the programme accusing myself and Colm Foley of Dublin bias because we questioned whether Dundalk's artificial pitch would be passed by the licensing committee for next season's Premier Division.
Apparently because we're both from Dublin we are sick that Shels didn't get promoted. Two words. The first is Bull and the second begins with S. I was delighted for John Gill and Dundalk to get back to the Premier Division. I've had many great nights at Oriel Park, and for someone to think that either I, or Colm, would support Shels because we come from Dublin is nonsense.
The footage from Station Road at the full-time whistle was great because you could see that the Dundalk players were dejected despite their big win and then word obviously filtered through and bedlam broke out. By contrast, the Shels players were absolutely stunned and as Dave Barry said, it's the beauty of the game in a way, that an entire season can turn on the kick of a ball. It must be said that Limerick deserve a lot of credit for giving it a go at Tolka Park, and Dundalk should send a few crates of McArdles to Shannonside soon.
Keith Fahey scored another cracker this week at Drogheda, and as I said on the programme, the league will be much the poorer for his absence. He would be a great asset to many clubs in England and I'm sure all fans of the league will wish him well and say thanks for the memories.
His sale will surely net St Pat's a good few euro, and it was nice when he received his PFAI Player of the Year award on Sunday night he made a point of thanking everyone, the players, management and staff at Inchicore for everything they'd done for him over the years. Needless to say, he did his bit for the club too. Good luck Fats.
Good luck too, to Stephen Henderson as he moves on from Cobh, - Mike Bardsley emailed MNS to ask us to pass on the best wishes of all the Cobh fans to Stephen and his management team.
Gareth Cronin also announced that he's to step down as Waterford United manager and we wish Gareth well into the future.
The final MNS of the season next Monday should be a mixture of serious and not so serious. We'll be reviewing the Cup final (serious), and looking back at some of our funnier moments over the course of the season (not so serious), and at the end of a season where so many crises have hit the league, it should be good to end it with a smile on our faces. The panellists who've sat in judgement all season will be in studio, and I'm really looking forward to it. 
Our reporter Eamonn Donohoe gets ever more ridiculous looking as he grows that moustache for charity. Here's the latest photo.
But it's in a very good cause, and it will ease Eamo's pain if you contributed.

Eamonn is also one of the organisers of the Sean Prunty Testimonial on Friday at Flancare Park, and if you want more info, visit www.seanpruntytestimonial.com - the chance to see World Cup winner Marco Tardelli back in action should be enough to get a decent crowd out for a great servant to the Longford cause.
