Finally the FAI make the right decision, Going to be some atmosphere in Tolka that night
Can't wait, have missed playing Pats over the last few years. We have played Bohs and Rovers a couple of times in league cups/pre-seasons but never Pats. Should be some atmosphere, hopefully a good crowd and a good game.Quote:

I am a bit surprised considering last season the bohs sligo game was on a friday night.. atmospheres are never quite the same in the daytime!!
Well the last 2 seasons they've made Waterford travel to Sligo on a Friday night and Sligo travel to Dalymount on a Friday night when there the other 2 semis were involving teams around Dublin so good to see some common sense
Shels and Sligo wins please, followed by a title win for Sligo so we can go into said final knowing we're in Europe either way.
Don't think we'd need to win league for cup runners up to get into Europe, once we'd have qualified (top 3) then cup winner/runner-up is in Europe. AFAIK only goes to 4th place if cup winner and runner up already qualified.Quote:

Looking forward to these matches huge away crowd expected on sunday should be a great atmosphere , think it will be a cracking game also tonight.
I don't know if I've ever wanted two teams to lose a game so much before in my life. Think I'm swaying towards wanting Shels to lose it a bit more but its very close.Quote:

really though a draw would suit us, another game for Shels, more chance of injury and suspension.
though I don't really think it matters, cos I think we'll finish ahead of them regardless. Now if someone could put Monaghan back into the cup....
are both of these on the box? Might head over to tolka for the atmosphere, could be a great game
It's Friday!!! This is going to be insane tonight, can't wait!!
2-0 Saints!!!
what teh hell is your beef with Pats winning the cupQuote:

4 times I rewound it and I can't see it.
Intent, yes. Contact, no.
Didnt kick him in the face. Murphy got him sent off. Harsh red. Pity it was a good contest. Shels slim chance now.
Once you do something that shows intent, you're asking for trouble. Unfortunate, but them's the rules...
