Any idea where I can see the goals from the game, esp last 2 which were after RTEs net stream cut off? Youtube, google, etc.
Best tenner I ever spent to be honest. Great game. Thought McCourt had a habit of overdoing it at times to be honest but it's a small gripe. Great advert for the league overall. Sickening for the Pats fans though, felt for them afterwards.

Just back from Dublin what a trip what a match.....such entertainment ....I felt real sorry for Pats fans and players to score 3 goals and not win a match is very very harsh.As Im a Cork City fan , Derry winning meant everything ..Here we come Setanta and Into-toto..... on another note Thank God for summer soccer...
I was on the second tier of the East stand. Derry fans seemed to outnumber Pats fans 2 to 1... In their own city! I was an honourary Derry fan for the day. A great advertisement for the Irish game.
100% Correct. Couldnt agree anymore. Thought Hancock handles the game well in difficult conditions and Paddy played outstanding. Great day all-round. Also well-done to Pat's gracious in defeat, made for a thrilling game, if we arnt in the final next year i'd like to see Pat's win itQuote:

Does anyone know why several clubs, particularly some of the bigger clubs (seem to remember the announcer mentioning Athlone Town and Longford Town) did not send a group to the pre-match parade?
I was sitting on the East Upper and the UCD group and Kilkenny City group from that parade came up and sat near to where we were. I overheard one of them saying they had been there since 11am and had to wait until about 2.45 when they were lined up. He also said there was supposed to be a marquee where all the participants in the parade were to get tea and sandwiches, but that the marquee had blown away and no alternative arrangements were made. If that was the case, then it was a poor show, especially as the majority were youngsters.
Also, during the parade, the announcer said the Shamrock Rovers had won the FAI Cup 25 times, but the programme showed them winning 24 times. I thought it was 24, anyone know if 24/25 is right???
Could see the headlines...
Pats win cup for first time in 147 years...
They've Qualify for Europe next Season...
They're also in the Setanta Cup...
First they must defend this Derry free kick-
Derry were excellent though, fair play. McCourt destroyed us at times, MOTM by a fair distance Mr. MOTM Awarder person...
I'm afraid we've only won it a mere 24 times. :pQuote:

It was a great morning to be an eL follower in work. people actually wanted to talk about the match; one everton fan even switched over and stayed with the Cup final. Amazing given the potential for farce presented by the weather conditions. Perversely it seemed to intrigue said barstoolers; should we have a wind machine at every game; or is Roddy Collins too busy.

Horrendous doesn't begin to do it justice David. I've experienced some great times supporting Pats, but somehow the highs never seem to compensate for the lows, and yesterday was one of the lowest. Proud of the team though. Even though they were underdogs they put up a great show, and it was so, so close. On two seperate occasions I honestly thought "name on the trophy". Firstly after Farrens miss and then Trevors penalty, then when Soccy scored to put us ahead for the 3rd time I really thought we'd hold out. Wasn't to be though. Sometimes I just hate football.:(Quote:
