Cant get outta work in time to be in the Que for the remaining 200 or so tickets, pain in me swiss over this fixture.

Well i got a ticket in the end, thanks Gav, just heard on RTE 1 that not one ticket for this made it onto general sale a draw and back to Tallafornia with a full house would do me but listening to talk around the club our lads are straining at the leash to get across the city and onto the pitch. Hope its a good game without the muppetry from the very few skangers on both sides.
Presumably it is the players straining at the leash ( unusual training regime but hey!) to get on the pitch, rather than the fans.
Hopefully all goes ahead without incident tonight. Would take a draw now to be honest.
Hopefully, they are very capable of ruining what should be great occasion. Unfortunately a business owned by a Bohs director was targeted with graffiti by some scumbag Rovers fans last night. These idiots who do this are no different to the pond life that desecrate the Milltown monument or daub over murals. They are a cancer that both clubs could do with removing, although it's almost impossible when these cowards skulk around in the dead of night doing these things.
As for the game, real shame for us that we are in the middle of an absolute injury crisis, I can't see anything other than a Rovers victory unfortunately. I'm surprised the bookies have priced up Rovers at about even money. Hopefully Keith Long can conjure up another miracle though.
Yeah these games are such an occasion id happily take a draw and a full house in Tallaght on Tuesday.
These days drag in ......can't wait for tonight
hopefully the difficulty getting tickets will deter the cetins on both sides from attending (if they want to beat the crap out of each other somewhere else then I have no problem). as with all recent derbies, I expect it will be close. shams rightly favourites, especially given Bohs crippling injury situation but then again Dalymount gives us our best chance of getting through.
Enjoy the match all those lucky enough to be going, it really is the greatest advertisement for league of Ireland football.
yep just heard of the graffiti, very brave weren't they, braindead
Looking forward to the game tonight. No preference on the winner really - just hope it's an entertaining cup tie between two big rivals and not ruined by some crazy ass refereeing!!
Prediction - Rovers winning 1-0, Burke sent off Bohs equalise and its off to Tallaght on Tuesday night to go again....
Effective from Rovers - learned from errors of the previous derby games, kept discipline, werent too gung-ho, just kept Bohs at arms lenth and took a couple of chances. Impetulant from Mandriou - silly silly tackle and gave the ref no choice whether there was significant contact or not. Big miss by the Linesman for the corner but sloppy defending then.
Cameras stayed off whatever happened after the second goal that delayed play. It's a shame to see the dog unit needed on the pitch at the end due to the risk of trouble. Good job Bohs pitch isnt plastic!
Lets hope Dundalk can be as effective as Rovers tonight and beat Sligo without really busting a gut or coughing up any chances. Would be the most interesting of the final pairing (without my own bias) as the top two teams in the country playing in the showpiece final - two excellent sides, with the potential for a top quality match in front of a big crowd.
Looking forward to Marino's take on the contentious goal and fans on the pitch etc.

Shams much the better team
Poor enough contest. Bohs never in it. Betfair suspended the market sometime before KO AFAIK and it didn't trade in IR, it's unusual but lt could have been a technical thing
Masterclass in tactics by Bradley and Bohs disgracing themselves on the field by dumb and very dangerous tackle that rightfully lead to a red,
Plus off the field by Long leaving his technical area in first half to verbally abuse his own ball boy.
As for the idiots behaving in a threatening manner towards Finn.
And finally capping it off with ‘hard men’ invading the pitch and taking on the Guards.
Overall a litany of pathetic behavior which no doubt all genuine Bohs fans will agree on all accounts was unacceptable.
And boy is it so sweet to be in the final...
Great to be in the final keeps the season alive.
Well deserved on the night
You're gas
Fair play to Rovers,far and away the better team without even being that good,Bohs didn't show up and were badly let down by Mandriou.
Shame that in another big televised league of Ireland game that a minority of imbeciles have to try and make it about them......
Professional Vs amateur , both on and off the pitch.
You always know when Rovers have won as the plethora of windy ##ts on this forum are nowhere to be seen.😄😄.
Now we can all look forward to Rovers losing to Sligo on peno's ,again!!
I just couldn't read further with laughter tears in my eyes
Thought the sending off looked harsh, need to see on tv but considering the run of decisions against us we were due one
First time we out muscled bohs in a few year well deserved and you could see how much Rovers were up for it from the off, Muppetry as per usual both sides both we are back in a final after 9 years.
It most certainly wasn't harsh. Awful tackle.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
