Where did the RTE commentary team get "who-ban"?
Surprised it's that big tbh. Great to see.
Terrific attendance - only the second time since 1964 that the attendance has broken 30000, the other one being the Rovers/Rovers final of 2010 - I thought the Bray v St Francis final had broken 30000, but wikipedia has it listed as 29000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAI_Cup#FAI_Cup_Finals
There was a big thread on here at the time I think; tis apparently how it's supposed to be pronounced
Shame to see McEleney hasn't shown up again.
POTY right there.
Found that older thread, which I missed at the time. So he himself uses "Who-ban": fine, that's sorted.
Most Hobans I've met (admittedly a fairly small sample) use the other pronunciation, but everyone is entitled to stipulate his own. You check with the individual in question, not some presumed norm, even local norms.
Leinster House "Len-ster", though the Dukes apparently say "Lin-ster".
Well, that's what I meant. His name is pronounced Who-ban (it's a Galway thing apparently); doesn't mean another person called Hoban can't pronounce it Hoe-ban
Not sure what Alan Dukes has to do with this.
Good game. Congrats Dundalk.
Hard luck Cork, just shows that Caulfield can put a team on the pitch to play football when he wants to.
Well done Dundalk,some achievement from Mr Kenny,surely a job at a higher level awaits at some stage,Cork played well but lacked a cutting-edge up front and Dundalk took their chance what when it came.
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Good game, in the balance until the death and an excellent crowd.
Kudos to Dubdalk but both teams made it a good day for Irish football.
Congrats to all dundalk fans here. Massively disappointed of course. Thought we played well first half, didn't create enough in the second and a mistake by Griffin has cost us unfortunately. Over 30k was a brilliant attendance.
And so begins the longest off season in the world....
Happy for Kenny. I just find him a likeable guy and was also a good Manager while at Bohs.
very unlike kenny to celebrate wildly. the crowd today is that bigger than the 2010 final?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
36,101 at the 2010 final
I thought Dundalk looked very ropey in the first half, so many players were off their game. Cork did press hard but we made far too many unenforced errors.
Ultimately, Cork just didn't have the quality to capitalise on this.
The second half was different, I thought Dundalk played well and looked the far more dangerous side.
The injury to Morrissey was the real turning point for me, he was having a brilliant game.
Was a great final..was in the balance right up to the last kick. I thought Jamie Mc Grath done very well when introduced. Dundalk deservedly won in the end I felt as they offered more of a threat in the second half. Gartland was immense at the back all day as was Chris Shields in the middle. Great crowd and a great advertisement for all that is good in the league.
Fair play to Dundalk. Took their chances.
On RTE after the match, they did a voxpop with some fans coming out of the ground and one Dundalk fan has a pop at Shamrock Rovers. I'll admit, I wondered if it was Ezeikial. But how weird is that obsession? Enjoy your victory ffs.
