That’s the full house for Bradley. Could be on his way to pastures new next year.

Red card was the key moment. Only a Shamrock Rovers player would have avoided a red card for that! 😉 Great result for Bohs! Congratulations to Shamrock Rovers! Great hosts in the semi final.

Yeah think Rovers would of won it anyway but it just made Cork chances a lot slimmer with Nevin getting sent off just before half time

Hopefully you’ll draw a club from Israel and they’ll blow you away ( not literally of course).

What a wonderful achievement by Bradley and his team and the players - especially happy for Gaffney who showed huge resilience and application to overcome an almost career ending injury and finish the season in fairytale fashion today .

Thought Cork were like Derry last year. Decided to beat themselves.

The red card threw the final.

But why take off Bolger and you center half after conceding??

Embarrassing descions.

Honestly thought Rovers were there to be beaten. Offered very little until the sending off.

Cork left it on the table

Not sure what game u were watching. It was over from thw start

Well done to Rory Gaffney on his great striker/center forward performance. Was sitting a few rows behind his family and friends by chance, and there was great joy in that group in the 2nd half. (spotted Viv Anderson and family also at end of the match).
Agree that the red card was key for the outcome, and as mentioned it probably would have been a yellow plus a strong word for a Shamrock Rovers player. A good atmosphere at and around, the aviva and a great crowd up from Cork. A bit of a negative was how late a section of the crowd took their seat before the start.

Doesn't matter who we draw or where they are from. We are in Europe and that's down to Shamrock rangers. It doesn't matter who we play or whether we win , we are there thanks to you. Muchas gracias amigos

Sure, Rovers had the ball, but Cork were very comfortable, and Rovers offered nothing until the sending off.

Cork gifted the final away, Rovers didnt need to win it.

I will never understand how someone employed in football would make the subs Cork did at the time they did after the 1st goal.

Why are you referring to them (twice) as Shamrock Rangers? Is it a dig that only you know the meaning of?

**Shinkicker** · 09/11/2025, 8:54 PM

MOD EDIT: Please keep it on topic and none of the childish nonsense.

Well that explains the weird name you keep insisting on calling them then...

One of the duller couple finals of recent years. Cork were doing fine up until the red card, game was over at that point. Rovers looked like a team who played away in Europe on Thursday. Didn't look like 35,000 with so many massive empty areas, maybe we're just getting greedy after recent years but FAI would be first to brag if a record was set, why are they raising prices when we aren't yet at a point where we are selling out or at least hitting 40k + every year? Overall, an underwhelming final but fair play to Rovers a double is a special achievement

Neck on the line here. The most recent large crowd records have all included Bohs, and yet they want to build a 6k capacity stadium! at Dalymount???

The plans for Dalymount were changed to 8,000 years ago, and also Derry and Drogheda managed to get just under 39,000 last year without any Dublin club involved. That was the 2nd highest since the 50's and 3rd highest ever.

Granted Pat's and Bohs do hold the record of highest attendance.

McGintys saves when it was nil all were huge. Two of them were excellent saves. One deflected in front of him and the header that he got up and stopped the rebound as well even though that was offside. Great goalie.
