League Cup Semi Finals

Sligo Rovers V Shamrock Rovers
Monaghan United V Dundalk
This cup may classed as a mickey mouse cup but the last 4 teams left havent won a trophy for a while so would no doubt like to win it. Both games are hard to call i think, with us and Shams in good form and monaghan on the up and Dundalk on the slide lately. Should be an interesting evening.
Id tip Monaghan to beat Dundalk because they are just on a downward spiral and Mons are on the up and seem more competitive.
As for us and Shams, its so hard to call, id say we have the slimmest of advantages since we are at home.
Should be a big crowd out for our semi final, wouldnt be surprised if there was 3000 at it since we got 3000 at the first home game of the season against Shams.
Jaysus don't be tipping us, that kinda talk scares me. Any nuterals making the spin over to cheer us on? I know of 3 drog coming wearing mons colours! :-D
sorry magicme the sligo lads win everytime!!:p easier to drive after work! still the best of luck to ye anyway! it will be nice to get a sligo monaghan final which hopefully I will go to!Quote:

Where will the final be held ?
One of the finalists will be at home.Quote:

That's what Derry said when they played us. It's a coin toss to decide, as far as I know. If, say, Monaghan get to host Rovers, that's just the way of it (unless Monaghan elect to change)
It doesnt really make a difference to me anyway coz i wont be here for it :( if it was in tallaght it would be a brilliant crowd.
But if it were in Monaghan, it could do more for that club. The crowd isn't always an important factor.
Ye that is true, sure they had in the rsc last year even though bohs were in it.
If monaghan get to the final I doubt the game would be played in Monaghan sure what is the capacity of the ground 500?
It depends on the toss of a coin, there's no 'more than likely' about it.Quote:

Bring back the two-legged final!!
Rather arrogant to expect special treatment cos of that though. It'd be a Cup Final for the other team too, and it'd bring out a big crowd for them as well.Quote:

Also id suspect if Dundalk got through to the final they would also have a bumper crowd.
So can you please pack in the "tallaght is special" nonsense.
