You wouldnt say that to his face tho.

He reads the game brilliant and always seems to be a ble to make the right decision with ease. Foran is a fine young player and his chance will come, I hope he takes this chance to learn from a very experienced c/half.

The noise from Dalyer was something else. Could hear it clear as day whilst I was waiting in the train in Drumcondra after the shels match.
Fair dues to Sligo.

I enjoyed the weekend's action. I expected an all-Rovers final so was surprised by the late equaliser as all was going to plan. It's a shame the replay will not be on TV. Mahon was right about his rant. At the semi-final stage it should've been a neutral venue even had the game been in the city. Also the all Dublin game should've been on Friday night and Sligo on Sunday so they could've brought more support to the capital. The FAI need to be thinking these things through better if they have an interest/hope in encouraging more people to go to the games.

To all Sligo fans going tonight, enjoy the game lads (but obviously, I hope, not the result

)

It was the league game earlier on this season where we had 10 men for the last half hour. Think it was more backs to the wall in the cup game last year then it was in the game earlier this season though.

Coverage of both games was a bit of a joke. 15minutes pre-match and 20 minutes post-match for Shams Pats game. Just 5 minutes pre and 3 minutes post for Bohs Rovers game.

No such problems for ye this time ! As said elsewhere great win for Sligo on a good night in Dalymount (despite "sinister" Bohs

). Good crowd from Sligo who gave great support throughout the 90 minutes. Love the reaction of Cooke at the final whistle, God even Alan Kelly did alright (I must have missed something !!!!!).
Sorry we wont be at Lansdowne as cup final always a great day out but can have no complaints on Fridays result.

I thought the coverage yesterday was grand.

It was, but it got a lot more build-up and post match analysis than Friday's game.

**Dodge** · 18/10/2010, 11:00 AM

Rightfully so. It was, after all, the only semi with TWO Dublin sides in it.

**harleyleeds** · 18/10/2010, 11:11 AM

pretty sure it was because shams were on and had nothing to do with Pats . This is the only reason I would fear a shams v us final (we'd be against the media ,the ref and the fai) . not sure even we could deal with all that . Having said that it was a crappy game because they didnt allow Pats to play ball . Pats had some lovely passing moments and i feel they and us would give good football entertainment in Aviva . Ye should have had at least 4 so i reckon no problem to ye at home Tuesday . hoping to get ye in final so bast of luck .

Im not sure if your messing Dodge, but what has TWo Dublin sides and a lot better coverage got to do with each other.

Maybe one of the reasons for more coverage for Shams Pats is due to the Sunday afternoon slot.

Relax, I was joking. its because it was a Sunday and they've less obligations sto show other crap.

**Rasputin** · 18/10/2010, 11:36 AM

And that lad doing the post match build up that should talking about his Hot Wheels set is some dildo, cant stand him or his umpa lumpa fake tan.

It's because it was on Sunday. RTE have more stuff they want to fit in on Friday nights.

Class Dodge, and you still get bites !

**Straightstory** · 18/10/2010, 2:36 PM

Awful standard of football at Shams v Pats. Sligo should be able to take either of them in the final.

in fairness, it didnt need much longer than 3 minutes to conclude that Sligo played us off the park...
