Predict a Shels-Pats final. Hope it's Derry-Pats though for the sake of the crowd.

Nice wan. Another goal to make it safe would be nice.

Saints dominant now, Dundalk fans streaming out.

**SwanVsDalton** · 07/10/2012, 8:21 PM

Think we've blown it - a draw was a fair result over the 90, considering we didn't bother showing up in the first half. Having said that we've regularly been better away from the Brandy this year. But none too optimistic.

Easy win for us today despite being fairly poor. I'm hoping for a Derry win on Wednesday because they are an awful side, probably the second worst side in the premier division after Dundalk. This should be our year tho.

Poor game in the randywell yesterday.

Why the fook we reverted to hoofing after clearly displaying we were better with the ball on the ground, I will never know.

Draw was fair I guess but I feel its advantage Shels now.

Shouldn't that be "This should be our year tho" (take 51) ?

PS you should know that Pats fans must always be pessimistic about the FAI Cup, no matter who you are playing.

I'm trying a new tactic this year, be ridiculously over confident going into each game. It's worked well so far. saints to win 4-0

Seriously most Pats fan realise most years it isn't. We've had the best team in the league 5 times in the past 23 years though and none of them have won a cup. In the finals we've played we've been the favourite only twice (96 and 2003) and even then not by much. This final is clearly our best chance

But you're right we've no real chance...

Funny enough most seasons I generally hope Pats win the Cup (once Bohs exit) if for no other reason than to end the long wait. Unfortunately this year that is, of course, tempered by the realisation a Pats win will get shams into europe

So you should hope for Pats to win the double then, which would mean 4th loses out and Derry gets the spot

Fair enough, Pats for the double or nothing.

**Mad Moose** · 11/10/2012, 2:16 PM

I deliberately missed out on both games on Sunday hoping they would actually be shown on RTE Player and I could sit down and watch both games through the week. Disappointed to find they are not on. Not sure if they are on at home and available on Player in Ireland.

If anybody knew where the games might be available from it would be really appreciated.

Here it is from Ireland.

Derek Foran was not very happy after Dundalk's loss to St.Pats on Sunday.If only we had a team full of lads with the attitude that he has.

Speaking to the Dundalk Democrat following the loss to St.Patricks Athletic he said the defeat was :

EMBARRASSING, sickening and inexcusable.

Could live with that, Dodge

as long as tghe pats fans I know dont let it go to their heads ! (Pats fans - like Bohs - have that wonderfull "glass is half empty" view of football and it would be a shame to lose it.)

**Dodge** · 12/10/2012, 10:49 AM

Are you kidding!? As soon as we win the double we're planning our Champions League group games in Lansdowne! A new era will have arrived in irish football.

etc etc etc
