Sporting Fingal - Bray Wanderers Play-Off Final

Sporting Fingal should continue where they left off against Shelbourne. Saw the FAI Cup semi-final between these two and Fingal had quality to spare that day. Shane McFaul was both tidying up and distributing the ball to the heralded forwards. Pretty handy win.

Irish Universities International John Mulroy, who scored Bray's second that day, is suspended for Morton Stadium, that isn't going to help Bray who will have to bring all of the European club competition experience to bear for these two games.

May the best team win. Controversal I know.

Hoping for a good game but I think Sporting will be out of sight by full time tonight. It's live on TG4 btw for those who don't know.

Cool, didn't know that.

Lashing rain here on the north-soi-ed of Dublin so I hope it still goes ahead!

As a Sligo fan, would you not prefer it to postponed?

I mean, a rescheduled game would delay and disrupt their cup final preparation.

Nope. I'm sure we'll beat Fingal regardless of the playoff game.

After that jinx-tastic remark, I'm running out to put €100 on Fingal to win the cup!

Is this a two-legged game?

It's lashing!

its been an encouraging start for the lads.
But the amount of water on the pitch is nuts I wouldnt be surprised if this was to get called off

Watching on TG4 - is there anyone at the game - has to be lowest attendance ever at any LOI game?

doesnt seem to be too many in the home stand I know there was a supporters club bus going up but reckon only about 200-300 bray fans made the trip

The Bray fans must be in the 'home' stand. They couldn't be out on the open terrace in this weather?

What a horrible game, should never have gone ahead in conditions like that, game plans go out the window, nothing but long balls will suffice, with the pitch like this, it makes it a toss of a coin, who has the better luck

Wonder is the ref under instructions from the FAI to play on regardless. No room or willingless to reschedule, what with the Cup final next week?

The Fungi would not be able to give out loads of free Tickets around the Fingal area, ergo,no fans at it.

with the pitch the way it is I can see someone getting broke up through an innocuous challenge

.......... or even a malicious Robbie Doyle one.

Robbie doyle and malicious in the same sentence never would I have thought I'd see that :eek:

If Fingal can create a fanbase I've no problem with them, but while they are playing in the Morton Stadium I don't see what good they are, they seem to be a classic LOI team that pay too heavily on players instead of facilities, infrastructure etc..

Bray playing well enough btw

Crap game, I'm gonna do something else because I'm being bored to death watching this...
