Be great to see a new sponsor announced if true.Quote:

Derry must be dissappointed that they have been ignored. Shamrock Rovers are not there on merit.
Unless they're there as holders or league cup winners. TO be fair to the Setanta, they did have a rule about holders getting a spotQuote:

Were did St Pat's get this confirmation from? I ask because I think someone may have got a little ahead of themselves.

I'd like Rovers to draw Crusaders or Glentoran, haven't met either of them competitively since the 60s.
So 7 games in total?Quote:

You would think there would be a collective announcement from all the clubs on the back of an official announcement from the organisers. Have all the 'i's' been dotted on this one....Quote:

Be good to see what sort of crowd turns up to each game then....Quote:

That hasn't been the case in previous years, has it? Clubs have done it piece-meal and only upon the launch has anything official been fully announcedQuote:
