Bit naive to expect refs in the LOI to know the rules
No idea. Previous games had been decided by penalties.

I can just imagine the phone call (and probably happened) - Ref ringing up to ask what to do next.
Derry-Limerick tonight is the first semi-final up.
Many Limerick ones up for it? Bank holiday would help, but still a pain. It's not a bank holiday in the north and I'd say our crowd will be low enough.
Don't know what to think of how this will go. Limerick have been scoring for fun, but we'll be the best opposition they've played this season. Should be interesting.
Odds are Derry 5/4, draw 23/10, Limerick 21/10.

7.45 kick off on a Monday night is ridiculous. If ye had moved it to a 5.30 or 6.00 start I think more would be heading up. I heard around 100 or so but an earlier start about you would have doubled the travelling support. Can't go myself as I have a 6am start in the morning 😴
And they would lose even more off their home support, its not a holiday in the North. Makes no sense for them to play it early.
Em, did you not read brendy's post?
Derry 0-1 Limerick
FT.
Surely the Markets Field for the final.
That's some result up there for Limerick fc any idea when the final is on?
Congratulations to Limerick on reaching the final. It would be great to see the final at the Markets Field.
September 17th
Surely it will be on there. Can guarantee a big crowd and atmosphere.
How is it determined though? Coin toss or FAI just picking one?
I am not surprised by the result. Didnt Limerick win the League cup in the brandywell in 2001/02 season?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
On penalties.
Supposed to be coin toss but I think they just decide themselves.
Yup. It's not the biggest cup but to us it's huge considering our lack of success for so many years. The treble is still on
Markets Field would see 4 or 5 thousand (announced at the capacity 3050?) i would think. No idea how venue is set.
If we get to the final ideally it should be on in Richmond as we had to travel to Galway last year but things generally dont work like that. Can fit around 5000 in Richmond and its fairly easy to seperate the fans.
It should be a neutral venue really, like any cup final. Galway would actually suit.
