Another example of Dublin clubs being ridden rock solid. Has anybody John Delaney's e-mail address?

Thats good. I hope Derry win that. Keep as much silverware as possible away from Jackeen land.

Like the way Derry nearly did last year?

I don't see the need. Jim Roddy said before last years final that it should be held in a neutral venue or, failing that, the nicer of the two grounds.

If both clubs are in agreement that the game should be moved from the Brandywell, I don't see why it should end up in court.

I think it should be played in Dalyer. For a small fee of course.

I tought Belfield did a fine job last year. Why move?

Come on, give the lads a chance to see a final in the home of Irish football while its still there.

Nice fixture congestion for Derry City.

It'll be there for a few years yet. Belfield Park will be seeing diggers in a few months.

What are you signing Stephen O Brien?

yeah - we've realised - I think it is fair to say that for any club Euro Success seems to come at a price. I think Derry's first priority will be Setanta qualification, then Euro qualification then we'll go for the treble and if all works out the quadruple

you'll win nothing
i guarantee it!

Bit of a strong statement about a team in first final, strong favourites for cup and a point behind with game in hand in the league.

However with the excitement in Derry at the minute we have won a lot - the Euro adventure has meant a lot to the people of Derry - the rest of this season will be a bonus.

I reckon you will be in the minority in thinking Derry don't get at least one piece of silverware

**BohsPartisan** · 07/09/2006, 2:55 PM

I sincerely hope Derry do clean up this year. Not because I love them and their fantasticly wonderfull supporters but just so Hel, Cork and the Drogs don't win anything.
