QuoteHave been at all the Aviva finals bar last year and have found the athmosphere far better than Ireland matches and most Rugby matches,
The last Derry/ Pats final was a cracker, as was the previous one, so looking forward to it.
So when you agonisingly beat us by scoring in the last two minutes of normal or extra-time ( depending on how much god wants to fook with us) in a game we should have one, but bottled it, that'll be your sixth cup ?? impressive

That's some run of finals from Derry. Great cup record. This is our year though.Originally Posted by brendy_éire
(No, seriously, stop sniggering down the back. )
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
the lesser of two evils is derry to win the cup. the idea of rovers missing out on Europe is just hilarious
Long Live King Kenny
Apparently Derry will be wearing this season's Candystripes for this final. #justsaying
Toss was rigged, there is an anti saints fai cup agenda in abbotstown (& previously merrion square).
Plus Pats not winning the Cup.
The 2012 game was quite something. I have to root out my Derry scarf now.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?

NO FLARES ANYONE CAUGHT WITH FLARES WILL HAVE THEIR TICKET REMOVED AND REFUSED ENTRY
Great to see it's a tenner again.
It was being advertised at those prices on the electronic hoardings during the Gibraltar game.
Great stuff. Anyone who wants this game away from the Aviva, look at the attendances since Lansdowne was done up. Sure, there was bound to be a steady decline after the first one between Sligo and Shams, but on the whole the attendances have been much better than most during the 00s.
You've got no fans.
Padraig Sutton will ref the final.
With Rovers needing Pats to win I was hoping it would be Neil Doyle.
What odds a red card?
Thats the end of that game so.
In fairness, Sutton is one of the better refs. But good to get the excuses in early.
Have you ever won the treble?
Tickets on sale from the Club office and some cup final merchandise is also available, the workmans club on Emmet Road is decked out in Red & White hopefully more in the area will join in.
hes card happy beyond belief. I think he's give us about 1/4 of all our cards this season in a handful of games. Sent off two or three of our players, sent of a UCD player against us, gave us a penalty against UCD, gave Pats a penalty against us. I think hes sent off a bunch of Pats players as well this season.
3 in 5 league games. Also sent off 2 against us and awarded us a penalty.
The only game without a "major" incident was Derry v Pats last month (Pats won 1-0)
He's not biased or anything, he's just card happy. Averages nearly 5 yellows per game

I don't believe that site is entirely accurate. I was doing a piece on this very ref earlier in the season for our program (which was not printed as I used the term "he dished out cards like confetti" and they were worried of any potential backlash from the FAI") and the numbers didn't add up so I went through every LOI game up to that point game by game, but yeah he gives out far more cards than anyone else.
It could be worse I suppose.
It could be Buttimer
