You wouldn't be talking about it 3 months later if it didn't imvolve Dundalk...

The problem is when the two finalists are known that it is arbitarily awarded to the home ground of one of the finalists.

Well thats a problem when we have so many poor grounds in this country (Oriel & Richmond included)

That is true but does not dilute the point.

If those grounds are good enough for every other match, they are good enough for the final.

If the criteria were exclusively based on the best ground or biggest capacity then Turners Cross would have automatically got the EA Sports Final without a coin toss / drawing of lots.

The fact that the coin toss / drawing of lots (correctly) happened in this case simply opens up an old wound for me.

Call a spade a spade, Oriel park is not suitable for a final.

For any FIFA 12 lovers out there its been revealed that the EA Sports Cup will now feature in the game, hopefully that means 1st division clubs just pointless otherwise.

ill buy it if the First Division clubs are included alright

**nigel-harps1954** · 23/09/2011, 2:29 PM

If the first division isn't included in the league section then there's no hope of them being included in the EA sports cup. They may have one or 2 clubs there at most but not a hope they'll have them all.
