He probably would'nt have travelled if they were not going for it. Did he not make a few glaring mistakes at the weekend? I seem to remember at least one from the mns footage. Maybe he's been dropped.
Any link to watch this online?

Full time shamrock rovers 2 sligo rovers 1 ( 4.1 agg)
I actually taught we were a lot better this week, at least this week we looked like creating chances and werent physically bossed as we were last week. Granted we couldnt be a lot worse than last week but taught we did ok. I also disagree bout Shams, they were impressive again tonight. They played really well in the period from bout 5-35 mins and then just saw out the tie professionally and still creating chances. Not sure where that team was on Friday against Bohs when i taught they were woeful but over the 2 setanta matches that was as impressive as ive seen them in the last few years.Quote:

In fairness to Cook if ever we were gonna try this out it may as well be in the 2nd leg of a competition where we are already 2-0 down. I certainly cant see the same set-up when we land next month.
Just to edit Finn is also different class.
Four up front doesn't work unless it's something like the classic Brazillian 4-2-4 with seriously hardworking 'points on the diamond' in the middle (one each of the front and back four has to be seriously seriously mobile) but N'do looked so lazy tonight and Ronan Finn and Stephen Rice were in total control. Quite impressed with Shams. Worth the trip over. I was thinking at the end: if only Cook was in charge at Tallaght. I think he'd get more out of that squad than MON.Quote:

As long as Ian Foster is in charge, Dundalk will be no more than middling. Doesn't matter where the final is, Dundalk can't beat that Shams team. BTW, the final is in Tallaght, so he'll have an excuse.Quote:

Seems a very strange statement.Quote:

Bull****.Quote:

And by the way, they announced at full time the venue is still to be confirmed. Would imagine it will be Tallaght unless Dundalk kick up stink about it not being a neutral venue.
Living up to your username I see :rolleyes:Quote:

Good to see Rovers cross the ball and have the players to finish it in the first half. Finn was outstanding in the first half, great stuff. Oman should've been sent off for handball at 1-1 which might've seen a different game and after Mannus' great save from Greene, Rovers saw it out comfortably enough..
Dundalk with Kearns, Quigley and Byrne will be a danger..
It probably will be in Tallaght. Where else could it be played?Quote:

Last night was our 10th game against Sligo in 13 months, we're now playing Dundalk a minimum 6 times this year. Last night was our 20th first-team game already since pre-season. It's ridiculous.
It should also be pointed out that one game was in the Leinster Senior cup, and the other saw Dundalk down to 10 men for 3/4 of the match. Of course you are well capable of collecting the trophy - massive favourites, I truely hope your confidence translates into complacency throughout Shamrock Rovers FC!Quote:

Oriel Park.Quote:

I know the venue is still to be decided and the 14th seems to be the date but does anybody know the time of the final? Evening or afternoon? I'm coming back from holidays that weekend and will try to get back for it if possible.
Except Drogheda.Quote:

This is a done deal.
Final should clearly be in Tallaght. Rovers get the main stand, Dundalk get the newer stand (as was split last year for Bohs/Pats). Its a great set up for a final in fairness with both fans opposit each other. Dundalk, for all its charms, is a kip.
(For the record I think the Final should always be played in Tallaght now if a Northern team isn't involved)
Get the feeling Dundalk will be one of those teams that could beat Rovers 3-0 and then lose 3-0 to galway the following week. Something lacking there, but talent isn't the thing.
Totally unfair in Tallaght . Why not Cork? Or two legs?Quote:

Best ground for Setanta final is Tallaght. So what if ROvers got to it?
