The noise from Dalyer was something else. Could hear it clear as day whilst I was waiting in the train in Drumcondra after the shels match.
Fair dues to Sligo.
I enjoyed the weekend's action. I expected an all-Rovers final so was surprised by the late equaliser as all was going to plan. It's a shame the replay will not be on TV. Mahon was right about his rant. At the semi-final stage it should've been a neutral venue even had the game been in the city. Also the all Dublin game should've been on Friday night and Sligo on Sunday so they could've brought more support to the capital. The FAI need to be thinking these things through better if they have an interest/hope in encouraging more people to go to the games.
It was the league game earlier on this season where we had 10 men for the last half hour. Think it was more backs to the wall in the cup game last year then it was in the game earlier this season though.Quote:

No such problems for ye this time ! As said elsewhere great win for Sligo on a good night in Dalymount (despite "sinister" Bohs :rolleyes: ). Good crowd from Sligo who gave great support throughout the 90 minutes. Love the reaction of Cooke at the final whistle, God even Alan Kelly did alright (I must have missed something !!!!!).Quote:

I thought the coverage yesterday was grand.
It was, but it got a lot more build-up and post match analysis than Friday's game.Quote:

pretty sure it was because shams were on and had nothing to do with Pats . This is the only reason I would fear a shams v us final (we'd be against the media ,the ref and the fai) . not sure even we could deal with all that . Having said that it was a crappy game because they didnt allow Pats to play ball . Pats had some lovely passing moments and i feel they and us would give good football entertainment in Aviva . Ye should have had at least 4 so i reckon no problem to ye at home Tuesday . hoping to get ye in final so bast of luck .
Im not sure if your messing Dodge, but what has TWo Dublin sides and a lot better coverage got to do with each other.Quote:

Relax, I was joking. its because it was a Sunday and they've less obligations sto show other crap.Quote:

It's because it was on Sunday. RTE have more stuff they want to fit in on Friday nights.Quote:

in fairness, it didnt need much longer than 3 minutes to conclude that Sligo played us off the park...Quote:

If we keep getting to the final they'll have to show us at least once a year . and if we win it sure they'll have to give more than 3 mins post match coverage and all . delaney must be crapping himself with srfc minnows back in the final 2 years in a row .

Shocking state of affairs that this isn't on telly
I'm surprised it's even on the radio tbh.
As part of RTÉ's Champions League rights, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to put football on head to head with TV3's match tonight even if they wanted to. Good news that it's on DAB radio though.Quote:

No, Rasputin was right there-game went to a replay, therefore...
Anyone know what way they are managing the seating for the final, upper or lower decks open (assuming the place wont sell out!). It would be nice to stay dry for a change.
Anybody know if the shams tv is streaming this tonight??failing that can someone throw up the link for the Pats fans commentary??

Tom Connolly the ref again, how bizarre a decision is that to keep the same ref (especially one who made such an obvious error) - could definitely lead to accusations at the end of either having a vendetta against one team, or evening it up after the mistake on Sunday. Such an easily avoided situation
