Hoping Linfield win. Mainly because I won't be at a game to hear their fans gloat.

Hope its a good game for the TV (but with a Doolin "inspired" Drogs team I doubt it)

Just to be pedantic, they are Heads of Government; the Heads of State are Mary Mac and Liz.

Without wishing to sound clich�d, I'd hope for a good game. Like Lofty, I'm not sure I'd want either side to win, but if there's a poor game it could doom the whole competition. The SS Cup final is probably one of the few times we might be able to get increased attention for eL/IL football.

This match actually has the potential to be the worst ever televised game.

Of course you're well capable of doing it but you don't. And eveyr other fan in the country thinks likewise. Its not about whether you deserved to beat pats, its about whether you're going to excite nuetrals. And the answer is no

In fairness to Drogs they were flying in the first half in the semi against Linfield last season.

I think they took Linfield by surprise and should have got a couple before they scored. Held on to the lead fairly comfortably as well if I recall.

If Doolin does something similar this year Drogs could do it.

hhehheeh

I think we get a 3-0 headstart in that scenario and your barred from getting penos. Dolans rules afaik.

Mother Hughes. Stick around for the night and you'll be in for a cracker of a night if we win as the players and cup will probably arrive back there :)

I feel pretty much the same. Can't wait for next year when they'll let the first division champions (aka Dundalk) play in the setanta cup aswell.;)

He'll be packing his ManUre scarf, hat and jersey to go over and watch them get the trophy on the Sunday. Actually, it would say a hell of a lot about who gives a damn about Irish football if Paisley turns up and Bertie doesn't
