Not at all, as Dodge highlighted, I'm happy at both Rovers' and Sligo's trophy tally in the past twelve months. Also Sligo were by far the better team in the cup final last year so there's nothing to be hurt about.

By winning the second best prize of the season.

But it needs to a) make sense and b) be funny. Thats my point.

Its the equivalent of that bit in the simpsons when the Shelbyville guy responds to "Shelbyville sucks" with "yeah, then how come we beat at football nearly half the time..."

You don't need a good pub to get rotten.

Good to see some of those voting in poll understanding the term 'neutral'

Don't be talking to me about bags of cans and me at football/GAA/Rugby matche's in Dublin !! The Gardai will always ignore the other few thousand that are "minker"* drinkn' and make a bee line straight for me.... every fookin' single time.!!

*Minker drinking is known as Knacker drinking round the North Louth area

The very one that is on now on RTE must be a sign!

Any up date on attendance - I heard that the Little Bit-a-Red Rovers sold club allocation of 10-12k tickets and Shels are hoping to sell 5k.

Hopefully, with weather good for weekend, will get between 20-25k attendance.


Any word on the Forza boys signs -- they had a special collection at UCD game. Fair play to them, whatever it is no doubt it'll be class.

Sorry to hear Joey is looking unlikely for final -- but with at least with Ventre and Russell in centre Rovers have a pair of grafters. Hopefully, Ventre doesn't do something stupid in the first half and gets carded -- if so Kirby will come on, I'd imagine.

Would like to see Raff get a run out.

I don't think Raf deserves a run out.
He probably thinks he does but he missed out on last year because he believed he was something special and he has been ****e to average anytime I've seen him this season.

I'd give Dillon the nod if Joey can't play, he's been very good the last few weeks.
