Duffy makes it 2-0 to Derry. FT
Shocker for us tonight but glad at least it was the cup.
If you missed it here is the draw;
Derry City v Drogheda United.
St. Pat's/Shamrock Rovers v Sligo Rovers.
Semi-Final FT
Derry City 1 - 3 Drogheda United
Final in Tallaght apparently. It's very unfair on clubs playing Shamrock Rovers to have to play finals in Tallaght.
This is the second final this year where Drogheda have to play Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght.
It is the logical decision but it is also unfair.
It's done by a draw unless it's changed in the last couple of years. Sligo had the same advantage when they hosted Monaghan.
Maybe they should play it in Oriel Park?Quote:

It's hardly Shams fault Droghedas ground isn't up to scratch
Nah. They can have their boycott :)Quote:

Croker?
Well even Dalymount would be preferable, or the RDS.Quote:

Slightly misleading stat in that three of those away wins were for Premier Division sides at First Division sides.Quote:

Like everything else with the FAI, we have absolutely no idea, but I believe as recently as Sligo's win over Monaghan it was decided by a coin toss.
Bit harsh on Matthew Blinkhorn.Quote:

What would be a greater irritant is if the League Cup final was, this year, played in Tallaght had the final involved Sligo with Shams knocked out rather than the Showgrounds (or Oriel of course as the favoured nominated alternative ground for the Drogs where the EA Cup would have been presented to them before the match).
