Setanta Cup 2012

[Predator]

Just had a look at those highlights - Liam Boyce's goal was well taken, even if the keeper might've been better.

[bennocelt]

Who was the Pats guy who missed the sitter? wow

[redrevival]

They had more than us easily.

255 saints

412 villes

529. 244 in the away end.

[AnnaghRed]

Thats a pretty good crowd up from Dublin on a monday night.

[citybone]

Its easier from Dublin to Belfast than it is from Cork to Belfast. Some of our away crowds in the competition were as low as 24 (i Counted) up too 400 in Linfield on a Tuesday night. Big away crowd for our first cross border game with Portadown in 05 but i cant remember numbers.

Game on.

[JC_GUFC]

Only AET

That's incorrect.

It's as normal with away goals counting after 90 mins. This is covered in the Competition Regulations which were sent out last week.

I could see the Ports v Bohs game going to ET - Pat's will probably qualify in 90 but a goal for Cliftonville could make it tricky.

I think the competition this season has the potential to be as good as it's ever been. Setanta showing a few of the early games and the knockout system is better than the drawn out group stage where teams lost interest.

Love the Culchie Army banner!!! :D

[SolitudeRed]

Usually spot on. They must have been hiding from me

There was a good few standing underneath the old stand too maybe it was difficult to see how many were actually there from the away end. Was a poor enough crowd but we have quite erratic form at the moment and also that we played Pats last year as well didn't help I'm sure. There should be a decent enough crowd of reds fans down in Dublin tonight.

You brought a great crowd down last season. Probably the loudest fans in Richmond last season

[Dunny]

Climville fans were by far the best away support (atmosphere wise) last year in Oriel. Some craic in the bar and the Gerry Adams masks. :D

[Fester]

Glens 1 up
Derry 1 up

[Spudulika]

Fighting sleep (stupidly watched the borefest on Saturday night/sunday morning) and Bucko's boys are not helping. No cutting edge, closed down to easy and now Kenny B. misses a given goal. Russell is impressive though.

[Dunny]

Pats 1 down and down to 10 men

[wonder88]

Russell after having an impressive game, gets send off harshly. Pats playing attractive football, great to have Buckley back managing in the LoI, althought looks like they are going to lose tonight.

[Hibs4Ever]

Some great football by St Pats. Sending off finished the game for them, though they should have been 4 or 5 up at HT

[Fester]

Derry 3 up

[Dunny]

Bohs 1 up

[Mr A]

SSC q-f draw Rovers v Cliftonville, Crusaders v Bohs, Linfield v Derry, Sligo v Glentoran

Will Linfield let Derry sell tickets for the Windsor leg I wonder :)

Would they have any to sell? Still think that's gonna be whopper.

[legendz]

It's worked out well for the organisers with two LoI and IL clubs getting through the first round. Disappointed for Pat's, thought they'd have overturned the first-leg deficit. Missed the game due to my own football commitments, was the game any good?

[CMcC]

Thats a brilliant set of results over the 2 legs for Bohs. Huge confidence booster for a young side cobbled together. Well done Callaghan.

[SkStu]

indeed Mr. McC....

This certainly suggests that we might have a more successful season than originally thought - hopefully we can do well in the cups and finish in the top half. Lets hope Callaghan can keep it going.

[Dunny]

Linfield v Derry will be televised.

[JC_GUFC]

Nice draw but with the teams involved there were always going to be big ties.

It's definitely a good mix and nice that it's 4 from each league.

The competition would probably be helped by the IL sides doing better. Cliftonville v Rovers looks a great tie to me too.

Derry have just equalised, 1-1

[DannyInvincible]

David McDaid gets the away goal for Derry to make it 1-1 in Windsor. Good finish. Only a few minutes left.

[wonder88]

Derry hardly deserve this to be level. Maybe fitness of LoI team is better.

[DannyInvincible]

Strong finish from Derry. Into stoppage time now.

[wonder88]

Ref excellent in Windsor Park game, any chance we could get him down here for some of the big LoI games.

[ger121]

Good night overall for the LOI.

[askmehoop]
