FAI Cup semis

**Fivesilver** · 15/10/2010, 2:11 PM

Best four words I've read all week: "Worldwide on RTE Player"

Wish I could be there. Go on the Bit o' Red!

p.s. Mr Kelly - you still owe us a peno from last November.

Wishing for a Bohs V Rovers final. It would be good to have the top 2 in the league going for the double.

I don't agree, the league has been too much of a Dublin affair, I hope to see Sligo do it tonight!

**The Lep** · 15/10/2010, 3:38 PM

Thats only because the best teams are from Dublin

Looking forward to tonights game. I'll watch tomorrow's game on RTE Player next week when I get back. Really looking forward to both games. Tough call on Sligo v Boh's. Both in great form. I imagine tonight will be a draw. If so I think Sligo might sneak it at the Showgrounds. In extra time maybe.

I think Shamrock Rovers will do enough to get to the final. It depends on how much impact the game against Fingal has had on them. I expect players of the calibre of Chambers and Twigg to bounce back in style.

I'd like to see Sligo get through, they've played great football the couple of times I've seen them this year.

With the population of the city, one of ye're teams would want to be making an impression in Europe.

H & A would def be more fair and would generate decent gate money too.

I know in 1988 oriel we played Derry City over two legs in the FAI Cup Semi Finals... I would safely imagine that was approximately the last time the cup semis was played over two legs.. If I am wrong please correct me!!

Derry City played the Shams the following year in the semi-finals - and that was over 2 legs as well.

Excellent performance from Sligo, very enjoyable game, I'll look forward to see them take the cup.
Bohs can now concentrate on fulfilling their destiny, putting both hands on the League title.
Kelly is a first class ref.

Fantastic night in Dalymount. Paul Cook and all the team did themselves proud. Love that shed end in Dalyer. The place was hopping.
Noticed a good few Bohs fans stayed on to applaud Rovers at the end. Touch of class about that.

Ya must also say fair play to the bohs fans that stayed back to applaud our team off,class acts. On the game i taught we deserved to win and look forward to watching it again tomorrow.

**trevy** · 16/10/2010, 8:23 AM

Excellent performance from Sligo Rovers with some great passing football and well deserved their win. Looked like they brought a big crowd to Dalymount too. Maybe they can do the Cup double this year.

**Straightstory** · 16/10/2010, 11:38 AM

Very pleased Sligo are in the final. As said on RTE commentary, they'll grace the Aviva with their style of football - and they'll bring more fans than Bohs would have. There's something very sinister about Bohs... I don't think many neutral fans will be unhappy they lost.

**redobit** · 16/10/2010, 2:16 PM

A proud night to be a Sligo Rovers fan. Great passion by the fans and the players. Fair play to Bohs fans for the sporting round of applause for our team and fans. Hope ye win the league.
