2008 F.A.I. Cup final thread.

[Rovers1]

that is a joke, christ almighty, feel sorry for Derry!

[5ForKeeps]

The ref has been a disgrace today. Pure awful decision not only the penalty but some of the tackles going in.

[Tir Oilean]

Buttimer is a plank. He has been way too visible during the game. FIFA ref me hole

[RonnieB]

A disgusting decision to award a penalty for that.

[Red4Eva]

i used to think anthony buttimer was just out to screw sligo rovers at every single opportunity but now we all know he is just thoroughly incompetent. should never be allowed referee again

[A face]

Controversy corner ..... again, how in gods name did he give that as a peno. Derry must be reeking over that decision.

[5ForKeeps]

If that is the best ref in the Eircom League would want to see who is the worst. Useless officiating by himself and his assistant referees.

[Youths4Ever]

ref will be "star of the show" as then keep saying in commentary he has been awful

[Rovers1]

2-2 Morrow

[Tir Oilean]

Excellent! Delighted that peno has been cancelled out. Great game now!

[5ForKeeps]

Get in....he scored the hat-trick against us in the League Cup Final, 8 goals this season and 5 of them in Cup finals some record.

[The Lilywhites]

Get in!

[A face]

Ha ha, nice one .... delighted it was Morrow after that peno.

[rambler14]

Come on Derry!

[Youths4Ever]

lovely cross for the second Derry goal

[5ForKeeps]

Ooooooohhhh McGinn, very unlucky there. See Chelsea are after him.

[hedderman]

I was going to post earlier that Morrow did very little in the first half. He's a quality player!

Come on the City!!!!

[gufct]

just over 10,000 at it shocking support for Bohs id say Derry outnumber them 4/1

[SkStu]

we sold at least 4000 for the game - were certainly not outnumbered by too much... outsang, yes.

just over 10,000 at it shocking support for Bohs id say Derry outnumber them 4/1

Thought they shifted 4-5000 tickets :confused:

Derry outnumber most opposition fans. They are a great group of supporters.

[gufct]

They must have been afraid of the rain.

[Red&White Rover]

Great game.

[Youths4Ever]

how was that lunge not a red card another bad decision

[rambler14]

Blatent red card there.

[A face]

Blatent red card there.

Unreal, you'd walk straight away in any other game. Even if he didn't make full contact it looked really bad.

[SkStu]

what a great game of ball.

[hedderman]

Great game. Delaney's been immense. Killian Brennan did nothing for the 2nd half.

[Bunny Kelly]

Much like with Europe the players have shown for all the problems off the pitch the product on it is quite good. Fantastic match

[passinginterest]

A game that's had everything as they say. Great entertainment, not only that loads of quality on both teams. All that's good about the League of Ireland.

[foxx92]

Great advertisement for the league(bar the referee)

[rambler14]

Buttimer is dong a fairly good job at ruinung the final. ****

In fairness I thought he was probably the best referee in the league this year. Anytime I saw him do a game he was brilliant but this performence has really just been 1 mistake after another......nothing short of terrible.

[Rovers fan]

Great game,hopefully derry can go on and win it.

[Youths4Ever]

two great saves from derry keeper

[Sam_Heggy]

Have to admit, McGinn is a class act deserves a goal (hopefully it comes after 2 Bohs goals, Oman and Brennan preferably :p )

[passinginterest]

Some passage of play there, ball didn't go dead at all for about 5 mins, finished with a great move by Bohs and a stunning save by Doherty.

[Sam_Heggy]

Top save by Doherty alright, great game.

[passerrby]

was hoping for a bohs win at the start but i feel derry have been far the better tem and deserve a result..pity about the reffing

[passinginterest]

Another great save by Murphy from McGinn. Top class game, fair that it's gone to penalties I think.

The fitness of both teams deserves a mention, not one player down with cramp despite being end to end right through extra time. Great end to a season that's had an awful lot of bad publicity.

[SkStu]

wow. nails chewed to the stumps. great game Derry, fair play. McGinn deserved man of the match.

[SkStu]
