SF in europe ? Mmmm

you just get better.
Thank you - it's not hard to see through you lot.

I think i love you
What? You are the only person who I have come across that thinks this lot will be around in years to come it seems. Well apart from those who support them....

You best get used to it as Sporting Fingal will be around for a long long time
Sorry typo on my part, meant to say 'could' do well in years to come.
I dont like anything about this club, too many in Dublin as it stands, and they are no addition to it, but with Pats possibly in trouble and maybe Shels not going up, they may have a chance if they get into the premier, and for a season or two they may have a chance.
Thats about the height of it.

Goingb to go against the grain here and say I hope to God SF win the final, for obvious reasons!
That aside, I think it is unfair thatso many are sh*tting on them, give them a chance - I find it hilarious when people say SLigo is a proper football town and so should win the final. Is Dublin not steeped in football, or are Bohs, Shels and Rovers non-Dublin clubs?
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
"Homer Simpson, smiling politely."
Well Sligo is a football town, we only have one GAA club within the town, ST Mary's. Also alot of people will want us to win because of the bad feeling towards SF,and alot of non-Dublin club supporters want to see non-Dublin clubs in the spotlight. As much as i don't like GUFC, i'd rather see them in the final than Bohs or Shams.
Fingal were well deserving winners today. They looked very impressive and i thought Bayley and Zayed played very well. The final should be a cracker and i'm looking forward to it already.
I only saw up to the 3rd goal but if Bray's play is indicative of the bottom of the premier, there'll be 2 teams promoted this year.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Pretty much is, aye. Bray (and Pats for that matter) just can't seem to defend.
In fairness though, Fingal are actually quite a good side. We played them pre-season and I was very impressed. When you look at the side they've got, it looks more like a Premier Division team.
Unlike some on here, I don't really have anything against the team. I think it's pathetic the way Fingal Council are attempting to create this artificial identity for a made up 'county' though.
All this hostiity towards Fingal is a joke. They're a new club, they have to start somewhere. They're forging links with the communtiy, and over time that can't be any harm. They are in a cup final in only their second year in existence. They are developing a new centre out in Lusk aswell.
Okay their crowds haven't gone through the roof, but they've a catchment area of 250,000 so there's potential.
I'm not taking sides here, I just hope we get a cracking game between Sligo and Fingal, and that they do Irish football proud
Well done SF, this has set us up for a potentially cracking final100k prize money, any LoI team wants that kind of money right now! Personally, and not being biased, I see the Cup coming home to Sligo this November. We've beaten Fingal in Cup competition already this season, and since then we've put together a squad who've only lost once in their last 16 and Rafael Cretaro is in red hot form at the moment for us. Lets hope for a cracking final and we're the first Rovers to win something in Tallaght Stadium!
Coleman for Ireland
Surely Terryland or Flancare would be geographically and logically a better choice of stadium to host the final?

I wasn't particularly impressed by them the three times we played them in the league but they looked better against Bray.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Isn't Derry a makey-up county too. Franchise and Fingal are well suited. I don't get the need for either, what is their purpose? Has anyone ever met a Sporting supporter? There were none last season, how many have they garnered this time 'round? Apologies in advance Lep and Lamper as you're more than likely connected to the club, but you have to question the mental well-being of anyone who voluntarily chooses to support Fingal.
Having played Fingal 3 times already this season, a 1-1, a 0-0 and we beat them 4-1 up there, didnt think they were that great.
Thought they were played pretty good though, bayly especially stood out for me, looks a very good player.
The two semi's have shown that there isnt a huge gap between the top of the first and the bottom half of the premier.

I’m not pedantic...I’m merely overly concerned with minute details.
I live in fingal and Sporting Fingal play a lot better football than most teams in both divisions hence why i support them and also the small matter of a cup final
All these Fingal haters give me a great laugh every time i read the boards and it cheers me up
Keep the posts coming ladies as they crack me up no end.
