Yeah, never a penalty!

Hancock did his best to ruin that game today. He was pathetic once again.
We were poor, but Bohs were very limited in all honesty.
Great to be heading to the Aviva again but the disappointment of the league still lingers a small bit.
Very small home crowd today I thought. Sad to see.

Careful now... saying you find that something relating to Bohs to be sad might get you into all sorts of trouble... gook luck in the final... will you bring as big a crowd as last year ?

You'd think with 11 groundskeepers that the pitch would've been in better condition

Poor match yesterday. Very disappointed in Sligo. But a win is a win.

To be fair Bohs did defend well and were quick to break up play. Found it a better game than the Pats one to be honest.
Fair dues to RTE, for a change. Three LOI games in a week, wow that felt good

Due to suspensions (will clubs ever change that rule ?) and injury Bohs were down to bare bones and were very limited in attacking options (Brennan was clearly not fit) and Sligo -without ever playing well - deserved the win. Overall a poor game with very few chances for either team. Sligo (especially in second half) looked more likely to nick a goal. No surprise either that it was a sloppy enough goal when it came.

best of luck to Sligo in the final (FAI Cup is fast becoming to them what League Cup is to Derry :))

Does that mean we can finally say that Rovers are the Cup specialists again?

Thats why I stressed SLIGO, Stu :D. In recent years Sligo's FAI Cup record is beyond compare (3 finals in a row). Is there a criteria to be reached to qualify as "cup specialists" ?

Winning it 6 years in a row would lend itself to the monicker.

Atrocious stuff from Hancock, both sides were poor on the ball, but the referee exacerbated it.

Hard to say. I think we will bring a similar amount judging by the interest the semi final generated.

Pats fan commentary on ustream is the only audio (they've been trialling pictures too, so maybe you'll get that too). No TV

Out of interest how is it decided who is the home team. Didnt matter last couple of seasons but the teams in the final playing in red it will be an issue!

Agree with all of that except for the crowd bit, biggest attendance in Dalyer in a long time and possibly for the last time. Will be far lower on Friday.

Also think we would have had a far better chance if Burns, Flood and Fagan had been available. Although the defence did very well considering we were playing 2 left backs and 2 right backs.
