I'm surprised nobody has asked CityRebel if he was at the game yet. Although I guess you could probably just correctly assume he wasn't.

Bohs v Rovrs tonight in the semi.If Crolly had hung on would have strongly fancied Bohs to win handy.Draw, extra time and penos looks a good bet.

5-0 to Dundalk v Wexford Youths....mix of fringe players and young lads for us...totally different xi to cork game....another cup final to look forward to.....dare we dream of a treble?????

Some lovely goals for us, Wardy's chip from the edge of the box and McMillan's piledriver.

Some nice play by Wexford but the chasm between the teams was massive.

League Cup final will be on the 20th of September between Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers at a venue yet to be decided.

Its a toss of a coin so Tallaght it is

**Charlie Darwin** · 04/08/2014, 9:30 PM

Think it's been Tallaght every time Rovers have been involved in an EA/Setanta final so I don't expect that to change. The league should probably just drop the pretence though and just say that Tallaght is the preferred venue in all cases.

There's not really anywhere else in any way suitable for the game though is there? No point in sending both teams to Turners Cross or Terryland.

I don't have an issue with a final being held in tallaght as it is a good venue for a final, just when rovers are participating that's when it would be great to have a different option but I know there isn't really.. wouldn't expect either team be made travel down here or over to the west for it so there's no alternative really

If Tolka or Dalymount were viable stadiums I have no doubt they'd be held there, but unfortunately their owners have allowed them to be run into the ground.

**White Horse** · 04/08/2014, 10:43 PM

It's not the fault of Shamrock Rovers that Tallaght is the only decent club stadium left in Dublin. However, Oriel Park should be big enough for the final if we win the toss.

Tolka was a great venue for the setanta cup final 2006 when all stands were open it was jammed with a great atmosphere.. shame about it's current state though

Its looking like it might be a toss of the coin to decide the venue. Oriel Park was fine to host two rounds of Europe, should be fine for a Lge Cup Final. It would make a nice change for Rovers having to travel for a cup final, be a nice day out for them!

**disgruntled** · 05/08/2014, 10:34 AM

Tallaght is the only choice.
The other stadiums in Dublin are a disaster.
I suppose if Dundalk win the toss it could be held there.

**seand** · 05/08/2014, 10:38 AM

I like a conspiracy theory as much as the next man but there's never been a pretence around Setanta finals, the venue has been dictated (fairly or unfairly, but transparently) by the cup committee. Rovers have played in one League Cup final in recent history and that was indeed in Tallaght but that's hardly evidence that it'll be a fixed draw. Ferrycarrig held it very recently it was even in Mels and Jackman in the recent past!
