Thanks Peadar but it was punkrocket that talked to the FAI. Never mind though the lep is here to the rescue.

No alcohol will be served in the stadium. (Unless your premium!!)

To all LOI fans, those are sweet words.

It seems to have become a real LOI event, be great if the Cup FInal could be as popular at the end of every season.

I forecast a 2:0 win for the hoops.
A well dodgy peno, converted by turner and a twigg break away goal with 5 mins to go.
nice guys tend to finish second.

Turner penalty hitting the crossbar and adjudged to cross the line, ideally...

Though I think it'll be a tight goalless ET game..

Paddy Powers go:

Shamrock Rovers 6/4 Draw 11/5 Sligo Rovers 7/4

Predict a draw,predict a cagey cup final match and Sligo getting a late extra time winner.

Whats the state of play with Sligo fans re: Turner?? Is he still a turncoat bolli* in their eyes, or is that forgotten??
Not trieing to kick somthing off here,just a question??

He's not our favourite player in the league but I think we'll be too busy supporting our own players to worry too much about him

Will it be possible to watch this on RTE site in England?

Could it be possible to promote the final as a League of Ireland day out, distributing tickets to all clubs and all said supporters attending in own club colours as in the Rugby League Challange Cup final at Wembley. It is seen as the ultimate day out in Rugby League circles wether your team is competing in the final or not. That's how there are capacity attendences. Very unlikely if just dependent on the crowds of the 2 finalists.

Thanks mate. Sitting here in Dublin in an Internet Cafe right now and can't wait for the game. So hopefully the crowd will big and the game great.

Btw, (Eisern) Union Berlin is a very likeable club, but I'm actually from Rostock, (my flight just went from Berlin) and I'm Hansa Rostock fan.

Says its available worldwide online so you should be able to watch it. Alas, the FAI doesn't seem to have been able to find a buyer outside RTE for the worldwide rights so they're stuck with them

**Dublin Red** · 14/11/2010, 10:04 AM

Heading off to the pub now! UP THE ROVERS!!!!!!! - Bring the cup back west... where it belongs!!

Hope you have a nice day. Come back next year!

Anecdotal evidence suggests the hangover effect is going to have an effect on attendances.

**passerrby** · 14/11/2010, 12:21 PM

regardless who wins really hope its a great day for the game dont give the hacks anything else to talk about other than the great event and the great football
