You Sligo Rovers fans sicken me...
Had a fantastic conversation with a random sligs fan on a night out who berrated me for a good 10 minutes and compared our style of football as just "hoof it to twigg". Suffice to say I think he's in for a shock on Sunday. (although its well known sligo play the best brand of football)
In fairness to Shams they did play some decent football at times, especially in the second half of the season from what I seen. The flip side to that is that any team who puts their centre-half up as a third striker with 10-15 minutes to go in a game and takes long throws and lobs balls into the box, you can see why peole might call it hoofball.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Have they opened up the top tiers ? Went on to Ticketmaster to get tickets and it has block's 304 premium and 506 which is upper. Can't get any lower level tickets on it.
East, West, South Upper stand all open on Ticketmaser. You must select Ticket price 10 euro to select Upper stands. to select Premium seating you must select the price at 30 euro.

€2 booking fee per ticket. What a joke. How do they justify a fee that's 20% of the ticket price?
Great work from both clubs in terms of ticket sales, now we just need the fai to promote this game big time and get the neutrals off their bums out to the game for what could be an amazing day for irish football
Ahhh
only the upper east stand is available it must be to keep the majority of the crowd in front of the cameras.
Should be a far better atmosphere than at that farce of a rugby match yesterday.
"Even if the wind stops to blow
Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
The Hoops initial allocation is sold out but the upper tier tickets are going on sale from tomorrow, from the club and ticketmaster still have some(not many) lower tickets left.

They are making it hard for neutrals to buy tickets. Ticketmaster is the only source available with a booking fee. The FAI should have a caravan available on the day of the match or else sell them in their shop in Dublin.
The attendance of 30,000 at Bray & St. Francis in 1990 may be beaten.
On Monday Shamrock Rovers will have a further allocation, you can buy online from the club shop and will get the tickets posted out to you that day, no booking fee or anything. You can choose what section you sit in to make sure you're not in with Ultras but instead in a more family/neutral section if you want. Check shamrockrovers.ie tomorrow and follow the link to online shop.
Good to see so many tickets being sold by the clubs and credit to the FAI for pricing it so well to get so many people to go to the game. I would say there'll be more people at the final on Sunday then will be at the rugby international the day before it
As regards to the game itself O'Neill did make a very good point on MNS about how high up the pitch we press teams. I think it's a huge part of our game that while we do pass the ball very well we make it very hard for teams who play against us to play the ball out from defence as well. The last game in Tallaght in the first half for the first 10 minutes Shams tried to play it out from the back but the pressure was just too much so they started hitting it long to Twigg.
