FAI Cup Final. Derry City vs St Patrick's Athletic

Neil Doyle is the ref, knowing only a Pats win will get Rovers into Europe I expect us to get some favourable decisions off him.

For anyone else interested there will definately be tickets available on the day unless the Stadium sells out which is never going to happen. There will be a number of mobile sales vans around the ground but note tickets on a first come first served basis so if you want a few together you will limit your options by leaving it until the last minute

Got them thanks. Feckin email went in to my spam folder. Luckily I was looking there for a different email altogether. Looking forward to this game, will enjoy it a whole lot more if we get past Waterford first

Fancy a Derry win myself I just have that feeling the cup curse will put too much pressure on pats and with farren on his way out the script may already be written

Was just down to Richmond Park tis morning. Pats allocation of a crappy 500 schoolboy/girl tickets are sold out had to get adult.

Yep if you check ticketmaster's map of the Aviva you will be able to see the neutrals.

Is there drink available on the premium level?

There seems to be only about 3 sections available on ticket master for the premium level so just want to make sure we can have a few pints if we spend the extra 10euro.

There's a bar, but you can't bring your pints into the stand.

You can watch the game with a pint, from behind 'the French windows'...

Derry 3/1 - is there value in that considering how they finished the season?

Absolutely, that looks a decent bet.

Without a doubt..backed them @ 11/4 with paddypower.

Hoping to watch this from across the water and no doubt this won't be streamed outside the Island of Ireland or indeed on RTE Player outside Ireland.

I wonder if anyone knows a stream available. Looking forward to this one.

Supposedly on worldwide streaming, according to RTE site: http://www.rte.ie/live/

God knows though. Bricking it.

Yer a gentleman TCM. I'll check in and see how it goes.

May the best team on the day win.
May the refereeing be better than last year.
May it not go to penalties.

What is the gate Like? and hard to tell on TV

I say around the 15k mark.

Im thinking big, and steel maybe.

Terrible game so far.
Derry have shown no intention of trying to create anything. Pats definitely not up to the standard they have shown this season.

Jesus just noticed your sig Dunny. Kudos.

Eh its lower than last year from what I can see. Top tier completely closed off.

brilliant

not a great game so far no real chances.. hopefully it gets better in the 2nd half now

16,117 the attendance

16k announced as gate., and not too bad.

At least there's been a vast improvement between the last Derry-Pat's final and this one in the weather...

what a goal.. should bring the game to life now

1-1 just what the game needed its getting good now

That was a super free-kick for Pat's, but a terrific response from Derry. Great header from Greacan. Things more lively now.

end to end stuff now great to see after a flat first half.. crowd coming to life too

great game now.. peno given as they were talking to buckley ha.. can pats come back?

Argh, my bloody stream went off and came back on with Derry leading 2-1. Won't complain about the scoreline though. :)

was half thinking of putting money on derry.. perhaps i should have

Can forgive you for not backing Derry but if you had put money on FAI Cup flakes, St. Pats, I'd have questioned your sanity... :) ;)

extra time it is then...
