Smashing goal
Full times:
Shamrock 1-1 Cork City
Drogs 2-0 Sligo :eek:
very happy with that result tonight.. thought we werent gona get any luck when their goal went in but what a goal by kavanagh.. will downings prediction for a full house on monday might be a bit off but hoping for a good crowd nonetheless.. confident of getting through now
A city/county the size of Cork should be getting far more support than they have been. Shocked by Sligo's loss. Had they made many changes from the weekend?
Really? Cork are really one of the best supported teams in the whole League by my viewing.Quote:

Setanta showing the second leg of city vs rovers ko 7.30 on monday.. great to have the away goal but we definetley dont want to let rovers get one.. we will have a few players back so im optimistic that we can progress.. is tallaght the likely venue for the final?
Sligo are out !! ??

What rag is that?
Looks like the Herald? Dunno if that's up in Dundalk though.
Yeah it's The Herald alright.
A "spectacular start" with a goal after 24 minutes as well...

It would be magnificent if they put the final in Drom. After all it's clearly up to league standard, so why not :)
Interesting choice of grounds. Like the idea of both to see what kind of crowd turns outQuote:

Latest scores:
Cork City 1-0 Shamrock Rvs (2-1 agg.) HT
Sligo Rvs 1-0 Drogheda Utd (1-2 agg.)
Cork City 2-2 Shamrock Rvs FT
90+3 this time!
Why couldn't ye have done that against us?!
I assume that's Rovers through on away goals, to face Drogs unless Sligo produce something special?
Sickner for Cork. You have to feel for them. Silly, silly foul by Daryl Kavanagh. Keeper should have done better too.Quote:

i feel so sick.. im utterly sickened, heartbroken, disgusted, words just cant describe what happened.. its ridiculous scoring in the 87th minute why cant we just hold on i cant take it anymore, seriously how did that just happen? did it just happen? is this a nightmare? sickened
Repeat of last year in the final. Feel for Cork, but they need to sort this late goal problem out down by the Lee quickly or their season will be over fairly quick for them. Crowds will drop as well.
Not a case of bad luck unfortunately - rash challenge for the free kick and bad handling from McNulty to leave the goal in.
The signs of a team who have no confidence they can see the game out. That's the manager's fault.
were like a broken record, just knew they were going to score and it was so painful to watch
Repeat of last year? Derry vs Crusaders??Quote:

Terrific game in The Showgrounds tonight. rovers could have done it but the damage was done in the first leg when they didn't turn up. Good luck to Drogs in the final. Nice club run by nice people.
It's in Tallaght, not by default or conspiracy, was announced last year that the 2012 and 2013 finals would be in Windsor if a Irish league team involved or Tallaght if it was two LOI teams. Reason was Setanta found those two grounds the most suitable for broadcasting.Quote:
