FAI Cup 2014

[Calcio Jack]

full time Dundalk 1 rovers 2

dodgy offside decisions from the ref cost us the game.

still in all created enough chance to put 4 or 5 past them only for the brilliance of Murphy

Perfectly correct decisions for both goals according to Extra time

Will be interesting to see how Kenny and Dundalk players react - could inspire them or spook them especially if Cork are still in the running when Rovers go Oriel for penultimate league game, going to be an interesting few weeks

[White Horse]

Not sure how we lost that game. Oh well, still plenty to play for.

[El-Pietro]

there goes the treble. Derry fans will be delighted with that. I'm less happy, would have liked to see Dundalk with a more packed fixture list, though maybe this will dent their confidence

Not sure how we lost that game.

You conceded more goals than you scored by the looks of it.

[PartySaint]

Watching Soccer Republic, the first and last sending off for Drogheda spot on, obviously we don't know what the other lad said to the ref but it must have been bad enough.

[nigel-harps1954]

Draw supposedly next Monday night. Maybe on Soccer Republic?

[Nesta99]

Derry fans will be delighted with that

Cough! Oldco fans?

[Candystripe]

Yes still Derry are the only club in Ireland to do the treble.

Will the Drogheda fans who thought that the ref was wrong with the sending offs still think the same?

[Dodge]

No you're not.

Poor defending with 9 mins to go, also too many excuses, that didnt look a foul for Rovers first goal, also not convinced it was offside either for the second. Need to have another look at that. Also we should have been 2-0 up just after HT, if we dont finish these chances it will come back to haunt you, and it did.

Cherrie needs to seriously get focused for the final 5 league games, he should have done better for one of those goals. Sava might come in for Sat night now, good chance I'd say.

As much as it was disappointing last night, I still wouldnt swap 3 league points for it. Derry v Harps and Pats v Rovers would be a tasty semi final draw.

You can almost feel the FAI's balls getting warm with anticipation...

No you're not.

Nobody can forget Rovers' FAI Cup, First Division and First Division Shield success of 1993/94.

[pineapple stu]

Or UCD's First Division, Leinster Senior Cup and First Division Shield treble of 1994/95

[Neish]

Draw supposedly next Monday night. Maybe on Soccer Republic?

Soccer Republic is way past the FAI's bedtime

Nobody can forget Rovers' FAI Cup, First Division and First Division Shield success of 1993/94.

Well the other Rovers have done the treble 3 times. Bohs once

[seand]

Indeed Shams won the treble of league, FAI Cup and Shield (a direct predecessor of the League Cup which was more prestigious than the LC) in 63-4 season plus the City Cup and Leinster Senior for a pentuple. Derry only the third team to win 'the treble' though many others have prevously won 3+ in a season.

I think this is completely spot on re trebles (taken from above link)


Up to 1974 that treble was League, FAI Cup and Shield and since then it is League, FAI Cup and League Cup.Winners of the LOI treble

•1924/25 Shamrock Rovers
•1927/28 Bohemians
•1931/32 Shamrock Rovers
•1963/64 Shamrock Rovers
•1988/89 Derry City

So no current club have won the League, Cup and League Cup?

Sorry DCFC fans

[seand]

Yes still Derry are the only club in Ireland to do the treble.

And if we're talking about clubs in Ireland let us not forget our Northern bretheren, especially the lovable Blues and their seputuple!
