Heard the best fundraiser ever last night. Pay €50 to have yer name put on a seat in Dalymount. This fundraiser was announced as a way to help the club to come 'under the 65% wage cap by the end of the season'.
So basically, we're cheats so give us money so we can get away with it.
Ah, but if they give them the money they won't be cheats.....Quote:

Spot on micls.
Even if they're doing it in a panic, seems like a normal emough fundraiser. Plenty of teams in UK have done it. Similar to the "buy a brick" campaign that others have done.
€50 is steep though. Reckon they'd earn more going with a tenner...
Good man Flexy let it all out,if you were there then you woud of seen that it should have been all over before extra time,the amount of easy chances we missed in the 2nd half was unreal.The sending off was a right decison he was the last man and clearly stopped a goal scoring chance so correct decision by the ref Mr Winters,in the 1st half I would admit that Cronin was lucky to stay on the pitch with his "tackle" on Raf.I thought we deserved to win on our 2nd half performance but 1st half was all Sligo and I was very impressed with the 2 new forwards they have Blinkhorn and Hunter(think thats him name).There was plenty of the Bit o Red that travelled up and it was great to see,they like many others thought they had won the game,they have celebrated a bit to early but after Friday's game Sligo fans should of realised its not over till its over or in your case Flexy its not over to Bohs score.Once it went into extra time there was always only going to be one winner and that was Bohs,it could of been 6 or 7 by the end of extra time but that would of been harsh on a Sligo team that gave everything last night.Quote:

Certainly seems Derry fans do, even after their team are long gone out of it:DQuote:

I think the 10 men (seding off) may have been a factor as Dalymount is a big pitch and hard enough to defend with 11Quote:

When is the league cup final on ?

Today's Irish Mirror was wrong.Quote:

The draw for where the final will take place is only happening tomorrow by the way, don't mind what some ball-hopper is saying on our site!
:D Some win!Quote:

Draw? Isn't it just a flip of a coin?
Yep. Draw sounds better though. :DQuote:

You have to win the League Cup to get into the Setanta. The precedent was set in 2005 when the FAI were trying to get Shels in at our expense.
Well done Waterford last night. I said it when we drew 0-0 earlier in the season that youz were the best side I'd seen in the division, and I'll say it again now. We badly need a keeper, but Waterford simply outfought us for everything and very much deserved victory.
And just to end on the usual anti-ref note, the red card was a ridiculous decision (not that it mattered). I thought the penalty was correct at the time, but looking at the video, it also seems nonsensical. Maybe the ref was trying to even himself out.
Damn Waterford bias. :mad:
Pineapple,
is last night's game up on youtube?
No. I have the file, but I don't do the editing. Try Monday.
any chance you could pass it on to me?Quote:

It'd be a bit awkward; it's 2GB in size, so it'd take a while to attach, and I don't know if I can e-mail that much. Took about five minutes just to copy the file from the camera.
Does the winner of the League Cup not play the winner of the First Division for a spot in the Setanta, or has that no come into place yet/was not followed throughQuote:

That was only in 2007, to sweeten the IAG deal for First Division clubs.Quote:
