Why are they being played on a Monday?

Thought that was strange aswell.

The final is on this Friday.
Very poor standard so far in the first semi-final, most player's second touch is a tackle.

I find it very strange that the second semi final up north didnt go to penalties why was that? I am puzzled! I had it recorded but missed the extra time part!

It did go to penalties...?

[Bucket]

If you use Eir to record matches on telly, go into settings and change the post-recording time to an extra hour. I missed loads of extra-times before I changed it

It did go to penalties...?

Ah I know what happened I watched the NI news and forgot that the two games went to penos. Unfortunately I dont have Eir just sky Im afraid Bucket. Great option to have though as its one feature Sky should have imo.

BTW Pineapple are ye producing a program for Friday btw?

No; not much point for a behind-closed-doors game

Edit - actually, I should add there was one done for the original fixture in March. I don't know if they're still around though
