I doubt there has been a St Paul conversation with regards to the trophy. My take is that the other Derry fans are poking fun at Bohs being up in arms of the scheduling with has occurred, due to the fact they are in the final of a competition they commonly slag off.
That's just my personal read on it.
Are you suggesting Derry fans are just WUMMING and not seriously engaging on the issue ?how shocking would that be were it to happen on FOOT.IE ?
I think they are seriously engaging on the issue, but the reference to the "minnow" and "tinpot" cup is in reference to the terminology of GypseyWeb in recent years....
I should have remembered the high level of commitment in Derry to Bohs web site ! At times it was difficult to get them off it.
Thanks for that Eoghan. Can you now please direct us to the location, whether on fai.ie, loi.ie or the press, providing details of when, where, and in whose presence the coin toss took place to determine the venue of the EA SPORTS Cup final?

Can anybody really believe a word that comes from the FAI at this stage ? who else could balls up something as simple as a coin toss ? No wonder the League is a standing joke, with flexible rules and make it up as you go along criteria
think I will call over and tell them, now where is my can of petrol ?
I suppose it's a 50-50 question.
though it would be nice to win the League Cup (any trophy is a positive) i hope we field a weakened team.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
If we're serious about winning the league, we don't have any option but to field a reserve or semi-reserve team.
Fenlon will probly play the part timers, you know yer man Byrne, plays up front, works in the bar, and that coach, Crowe, give the full timers a rest before the two big games next week.
Ah yes the old brown envelope system was/is so much better (or redirecting sponsorship money or.......)
Err where does he claim there was a Coin toss or am I missing something?
If not by coin toss, how was the venue decided?
Are Bohs taking the p*ss.So what if they have 3 games in a week (one in Dublin ffs)id hate to see what they would do if they had to do as much travelling as the Provincial Teams in the league.
We are the Galway Boys Stand up and make some noise"
Why don't you save yourself even more effort and simply write 'I've read absolutely nothing in this thread but I know what I think'?Are Bohs taking the p*ss.So what if they have 3 games in a week (one in Dublin ffs)
It wouldnt surprise me in the least if the FAI gave these assurances.
If so, Bohs are dead right to be annoyed.
I'd imagine the FAi wanted this to be a big game in Waterford, but now Bohs will probably field a team of kids, and rightly so. That's what would have been avoided by the assurances.
I knew this all sounded vaguely familar.

Why would you play your 1st team in a "minnow" Cup?
LMFAO.
No surprise about Fenlon not wanting to travel to Derry, he couldn't even hack it when we were paying him to do it.
They'd have no reason not too if the Derry game was moved, also I'd imagine the FAI would 'encourage' them too.
Come on ORA, it IS a minnow cup and I said the same after our quarter final win last year.
Also when these 'assurances' were given they were still on for the treble, something that does have significance, With that gone now Id imagine they wont be as bothered
Saturday and Tuesday and Friday
. If it had been scheduled for Friday and Wednesday and play Rovers on the following Sunday at 1pm, it wouldn`t have been a problem. No one really gives two hoots about the League Cup so it will be a question of whether Fenlon plays half or none of the first choice team. As Waterford are in top form and Bohs have a terrible record against them in the RSC, I don`t think that less than a full strength Bohs team will win out.
