Again great credit to both sets of fans for the atmosphere they created, better that what 80k did at the All-Irelands this year which I was at. Ref had a very good game as well. Programme was rip-off (still bought one) and so was food and drink which I did not purchase but expensive for those with children.
Congratulations to Declan Devine and Derry City and commiserations to St Pats. Really wished on a St Pats win finally. Great second half and great advert for the league. I thought Richard Sadlier was spot on at half time saying if somebody is tuning in for the first time and they base the league on the first half showing then its unfair and untrue. The second shoed two sides who played with a lot less nerve of the occasion giving us the mini classic it provided.
The match programme for the cup final used to be top notch. why how bad has it got?
Would I be right in saying that after 90 minutes, the scores in the last 3 Cup Finals have been 0-0, 1-1 and yesterdays 2-2?
Was that lower west? That fella was a pure mad man, more interested in rovers than he was pats .....At least he got his wish.. ....Rovers not in Europe Haha.Quote:

Couldn't stay to watch the celebration,just too horrible. That's four losing cup finals I've supported Pats at. It's starting to get very boring now. Yet each time, we think it'll be different. I think it was Basil Fawlty who once said "It's not the despair, I can handle the despair, it's the hope i can't stand." :excruciating:

That photo is epic!Quote:

Am I interpreting that right, it's abuse from Pats fans rather than us?
Horton, it's a tweet from a brainless 16yr old Pats lad using a very abusive rant and threats against a Pats player. Nothing to do with Derry.
