FAI Cup 2018

That statement Dundalk released (so quickly) after the final last year 'the better team lost' was absolutely ridiculous.

The match was lost on pens and that's a lottery, I think I said at the time it should have stated, 'disappointing outcome, thanks for your support' ........move on.

On tomorrow, I actually think for once it will be decided in normal time for a change, Dundalk with 3 league wins out of 4 against Cork this season would justify favs tag again, but it's not going to be easy, I think we will win though.

Hopefully whoever loses this year shows a bit more class

You mean like ignoring the names of the U 19 Leaguewinners after calling out the officials and losers at the medal presentation ?

If only you could both lose tomorrow. This forum most of the time is like a bunch of teenage girls on Twitter having a bitchfest.

Nothing worse than losers going on about how they actually battered the other team.

[sbgawa]

Yes indeed sometimes we are as bad as each other

Silly stuff from Shep, no need for it. I think the players get on OK, there haven't been many (if any) sendings-off in any of the games between us. The fans get on OK too; no problems down at the cross last time, Dundalk fans singing their songs in the pub next to the ground with no hassle.
Hope to hook up with a few of them tomorrow, always interesting to hear the views of other fans.

Penos aren't a lottery, unless you're crap at them. Which, admittedly, Rovers are.

Was reading the extratime preview there and there's a lot of Caulfield's press conference in there. He mentions losing "5 or 6" of his starting 11 from last year. This seemed mad to me, I can only think of O'Connor and Maguire. Who are the other 4 he is talking about?

Just thought of Delaney, even though he was only on loan

Greg Bolger and Stephen Dooley too?

Look on the bright side , it is a vast improvement on the way our players were treated at the last underage final against Rovers in Tallaght, ( 4 years ago?)

Preaching and whining about “respect” but incapable of showing it to other clubs - the project 😁

You would expect that from fans or internet posters but would expect a little higher standards from a club.

Seani, Kev, Dooley, Delaney, Bolger (to be fair was in and out, but quality player). So 4 starters really if you don't count Greg.

Beattie out injured for us. Cummins on the bench, Shep up top and Sadlier out wide.

McGrath on the bench for Dundalk.

Looks a decent crowd

[red bellied]

Cork sections looks sparse enough.

[dong]

Cork extremely route 1 here.
