GAME CALLED OFF - Setanta Cup Semi-Final against St Pats.

**Only1Rovers** · 29/03/2010, 8:59 AM

I'm looking forward to this evening's game. Considering it's the semi-final stage both sides will be as competitive as possible.... Will Mauro go into defence? I'm hoping O'Grady starts in the center. By all accounts he deserves it after his performance in Dailymount Park.

Your thoughts?

Pete mahon has said he'll "freshen the team up"

Not sure how many changes he's going to make but he's only made one change in 4 games so far.

Maybe he's just going to get the baby wipes out?

Horrible day up here in dublin. Was planning on going to the game, but with the weather the way it is.. I might think twice come this evening.

Just talked to someone who's in Inchicore now. His exact words "I'll be shcoked if this goes ahead". he's no connection with the club or anything, but there's a chance it'l be off

Lads can you post this on the other forum (and spread the word as quickly as possible)

Just got news from inchicore

No idea what they'll do. We're playing UCD the 13th so unless that's moved again, it wont be this day fortnight.

Was thinking they'd just move our game against UCD again and the Pats Bray game. Second leg is on TV so would imagine they would rather that it was actually the second leg

**Dodge** · 29/03/2010, 12:59 PM

You'd imagine so but with this competetion, anything goes.

**PartySaint** · 29/03/2010, 2:11 PM

Gutted this is off tonight but i suppose therain would have kept a few people from coming down to it, How many did you guys expect to bring down tonight??

**Boo_Boy** · 29/03/2010, 2:23 PM

I took a half day from work to go tonight...same thing happened last year. Took a half day and the game was called off.

How do you think some our of supporters felt last November when they arrived in Cork after a 5 hour journey, only to be told the match is off when they got there ?

I only knew about this so called "match " this mornin.. there was very little hype about it in the press.. the end of the setanta cup I would safely say if there was no publicity...
