The knockout format has made it more interesting, I think if they reduced it to one leg, and have a toss for home venue would be best.

Trips away to Glentoran and Linfield were very enjoyable nights (day in Glentoran case, thank God - not a place to get lost in at night:tremble:).Quote:

Story in today's Mail that Setanta are to focus on increasing their GAA following and they wont be showing any of the 2012 setanta cup games live.
Surely if this is the case it will be the last year of Setanta cup.
They didn't show that many games live last year, if my memory serves me right. Seems odd the wouldn't show at least the final.
Bray v Glentoran
Bohs v Portadown
Lisburn v Derry
Cliftonville v Pats
The battle of the dogtracks. Tasty.
Didn't know we had any Korean members!Quote:

It'll be great to see a few more of these games shown live. After a bit of trial and error they seem to have come up with a structure that suits the competition. Good luck to all LoI clubs involved.
bit of a debate over on the Bohs board about whether there is TV money for the games Setanta shows live. I thought that every team got appearance money and that TV appearnaces were factored into these funds but another poster is pretty adamant that there is 2k for the home team and 500 for the away. Can anyone verify either side of this one? cheers,,,
yeah dundalk defo got a few grand from appearance money last season. home team gets the total appearance money afaik.Quote:

Will it be Setanta handing over the cash to the clubs or is it through the FAI. The FAI have stopped compensating home teams for lower crowds when a game is on RTE !!!Quote:

Derry City Setanta game brought forward
The Round One, First leg, tie has now been brought forward from Monday 13th February 2012 to Saturday 11th February 2012 with a 3.00pm kick-off.
Strange one to move unless they planned on opening up a TV slot. There's Top 14 on both Setanta channels at that time.
Think the matches may have been brought forward beacause both Northern sides are out of the IFA cup(round of 32 this weekend i think) and must suit both LOI sides as well.Quote:

Rory Patterson hat-trick for Derry.
Lisburn are terrible. Excellent debuts from Patterson and Madden (two assists).
I listened to the game yesterday and Derry appeared to dominate proceedings from start to finish, regardless of how many men Distillery had on the pitch. Barry Molloy seemed to be lapping everything up in the midfield and Madden was putting a great amount of crosses in. Didn't hear much about Crossan at left back - commentators (Mariborkev) pointed out that he might suffer from the comparison to Lafferty, which was a fair point.
Aye its between them, Glenavon, Dungannon and Carrick for the drop from the NI League.Quote:

No one calls them Lisburn btw. It's Distillery. :)Quote:

Based upon the opening ten minutes, you'd probably be better off giving it a miss.Quote:

Extratime.ie are offering decent coverage.
McCafferty doesn't look too bad, he didn't really settle with Derry, did he?
1-0 Bohs. Corcoran. Cracking finish.
