LOI & FAI Cup fixtures w/e 2/9/16

**White Horse** · 04/10/2016, 8:43 PM

Dundalk won 2-1 and take on Cork City in the final.

If the FAI market this right, they could get at least 40,000 in the stadium. But they won't bother their arse.

So, a repeat of last year it is.

The marketing boffins at Ticketmaster will ensure that tickets are hard to get and still only sell half the capacity

I'm sorry, did you just mention "FAI" and "market" in the same sentence.

I'll disagree with that comment

Congrats to Dundalk. Will be a great occasion for the final. I wonder how often have two teams had a chance to do a double this late in the season? 2005 we played Derry in the semi when both teams were chasing it.
Listened on the radio, sounded like a good game. Derry gave ye a right battle it seems.

Corner sections in the upper tier will go on sale first.

Serious danger that Dundalk and Cork are going to pull well away from the rest of the league for the foreseeable future. On the other hand, it's the LOI, so I'm sure they'll find a way of f**king up and throwing it all away

Dundalks only bus that travelled tonight, group of 16 year olds attacked leaving the ground and all windows smashed!

No wonder they can't get away crowds!

Sorry to hear that. I won't go to the Brandywell by bus. I usually drive and it is never a bother.

**Overthemoon** · 04/10/2016, 9:17 PM

Hope no one hurt, Derry need to do something about it, the supporters are grand but this typpe of thing happens too often that's why the T+M bus hasn't been there in a while, last time we had a cold trip home with missing windows. Sooner or later someone is going to be badly hurt.

**patrickccfc** · 04/10/2016, 9:24 PM

Very disappointing to hear that has happened. Always enjoyed visiting the brandywell, always felt safe there, haven't been there in a few years but it seems this a recurring issue with fans being attacked like this.

**White Horse** · 04/10/2016, 9:36 PM

James Rogers of The Examiner and The Argus tweeted the following:

"A Dundalk supporters minibus was destroyed by fire outside the Brandywell tonight"

Its getting out of hand up there. There must be adequate law enforcement and security to protect the lives of people.

**Louth4sam** · 04/10/2016, 9:46 PM

I find it hard to believe that there are some parts of this island that are completely lawless.

The FAI really need to step in here and insist that away fans are protected

**Mr A** · 04/10/2016, 9:56 PM

Post on Derry forum:

Saw a Dundalk fan get hit by a bottle at Ladbrokes. Saw the lads who did it leg it into the gasyard and then loop back round but there was a crowd of Derry fans surrounding the Dundalk fellas by that stage.

Scary sounding stuff. Hope no one badly hurt.

**White Horse** · 04/10/2016, 10:06 PM

Apparently, there are 30 Dundalk fans being hid in pub by a brave landlord while a mob of locals try to get in to attack them. Fans are calling the police who tell them that they can't enter the area as it is "unsafe". Is this Ireland in the 21st century?

The same thing happened to a group of Cork City fans there last season.

Brandwell should be refused a LOI licence if fans safety cannot be guaranteed. It's as simple as that

Like FFS it's not in the middle of Syria. Drag yourselves out of the 1960s Derry
