Spot on. No need for people to start bringing stats and history and the like into this.Quote:

Good to see Patterson back scoring, even if his third had more than a hint of an OG about it.
Off to Finn Park tonight to check out our semi-final opponents then. ;)
Harps through 4-1.
Harps Derry, Pats Rovers Aviva Stadium Double Header.
Congratulations to Harps, be great to see two derby semi finals. This was mentioned last year about a double header but I still think it will toss of the coin as usual for home advantage.
It could be a big September for Donegal !
Could have been much more than four tonight. Delighted though to be honest. Big semi final on our 60th year and 40 since our last cup win.
Are you joking or serious? There'd be good marketing potential in a double header if Harps and Derry were drawn away to Dublin teams, but even then the FAI wouldn't be bothered.Quote:

It'll certainly happen though. Harps v Derry in Finn Park and Shams v Pats in Tallaght is the likely draw outcome, two games on tv, packed out grounds and it wouldn't cost the FAI a cent. Financially better for the clubs too.Quote:

Our referees more than make up for this.Quote:

In some ways I think a double header semi in the Aviva would be a great idea. On the downside I think going to the Aviva for the final is quite special, and it might dilute that if the semis were there too.Quote:
