Sligoman strikes again!! You don't mess with a professional moderator.

I wouldn't believe what you've heard BYC, it would have been a big story here if it was true.

Word is that FIFA have appointed Martin Hansson and his team of linesmen for this fixture.

They have also told him to expect similar low profile fixtures for the remainder of his career!!!

I jest lads...pity that this cup final has been swallowed up in the furore surrounding the Ireland match although I do remember one of the panelists on MNS making a similar predication when the date was originally confirmed.

I like the look of Fingal I must say...only seen the televised games against Bray but they are lively up front. Not affiliated to any LOI team really but reckon this could be a hum dinger...3-2 Fingal!!!

Was speaking to Gerry Carr about an hour ago. That rumour is absolute rubbish.
I was also in The Showgrounds last Thursday morning and seen the players training.

I hope Irish soccer wins tomorrow so a 2-0 win for Sligo

Will be delighted if Fingal win.

I like the way you're thinking!!

**Mad Moose** · 20/11/2009, 5:52 PM

Sorry Rovers fans. I do have a feeling Fingal will win it. There's a hell of a lot of strenght and experience in that side and I think they will shade it.

Their GAA team has never scored 10 so they havent a hope

2-1 to the mighty Sporting Fingal with Sporting going 2-0 up in the first half.

**galwayjames** · 20/11/2009, 7:38 PM

I've no doubt Fingal even if they don't add to their squad during the winter they'll do very well in the Premier, but I think Sligo are a better team and after beating Bohs, Cork and Derry I think that it will go their way.

I think it will be a good final but I'll go 3-2 Sligo.

**redarmyfaction** · 20/11/2009, 7:38 PM

There was a short strike on the training pitch, but the players got their way.

**Martinho II** · 20/11/2009, 7:53 PM

I admire of all your optimism but my prediction is that the cup final will be postponed due to the bad weather!

**GalwayRed** · 21/11/2009, 12:36 AM

I reckon Sligo will edge this 2-1.

Sure even our GAA team gets bigger attendances than ye.

I think Fingal will win by at least two.. By the way, this has to be one of the least anticipated finals in years.

In certain quarters. Most anticipated in the wesht for 15 years anyways, and well the team from the easy has no fans so I can't see it enticing much mouthwatering down your side.
