Did you really go to te effort to look those figures up?
In agree with u Nesta looking up figures to bother engaging with trolls is a waste of time.
In actual FAI cup matters, the tickets for the match seem to be going well but I don't understand why the fai appear to be holding back tickets for fai season ticket holders, there should be a cut off date.
That being said can't see anything remotely approaching sell out
Noel Mooney has said 40k tickets have been sold/given out, Hopefully people with tickets show up.
Have you a link to the source of those possession stats?Originally Posted by Asterix
Even if they are statistically correct, doing so little with the claimed 52.5% average possession is hardly something to take a lot of comfort from.
Meaningful stats:
8% Points Return 1 points from 12 0% Win Rate 0 wins from 4
Ronan Finn scrambling for comfort on the basis of having possession and returning a single point is hilarious
Rovers having one win in the last eleven against Dundalk tells it's own story
Big day for Tallaght tomorrow with Thomas Davis in the Dublin county final, both sides underdogs but we could be in for a surprise. I am sure both clubs wishing each other well, with sport so important for the community.
Encouraging to hear reports of good ticket sales. Planning on going up to it, hoping for good game and atmosphere.
I suppose premium level tickets all gone by now?
Prediction: Shamrock R and Wexford.
.Old emnitities run deep. No love lost between both codes in Tallaght.
Would expect Rovers to win and Thomas Davis to lose out, but hoping for the opposite.
Thomas Davis ugh.
Hope they get stuffed

Are there likely to be any online streams for tomorrow's game ?

On the point of Rovers closing the gap it is interesting to note that in 2018 Rovers managed 4 league points dropping to 1 only in 2019

One more sleep and kildare hoops will be Ringsend bound to join their city brethren, this is gonna be epic. Dundalk fans seem to think its in the bag, its a 50 50 game imo. Cant wait for the 2 teams to walk on the pitch hearing that our ultra,s have something special in store. WAR.
Please keep demonstrating your obsession it's beyond amusing, great to think we matter so much to you.
Lord help me that I ever care as much about another club.
Keep it up
I disagree totally with this!! If anything Dundalk fans I have spoken to are quite nervous about the game and not at all over confident regardless of league stats. This likely due to a number of things like the treble being on the line and the desire to make that piece of history. The large crowd that it seems will be in attendance and that it will pique interest for TV viewership. There is the ancient rivalry of capital city club v the top provincial club over the years, and of course there is keeping the cup specialists not so specialist. The loss of Shields has certainly knocked confidence also.
It all adds up to a fascinating contest, hopefully a quality game which we all know is possible, maybe record crowd for the 'modern' era. Let it be a game that isnt ruined by a card happy ref but most importantly let it be a Dundalk treble of domestic silverware.
Good luck to all tomorrow. Safe travel to the Aviva and regardless of anything let there be no muppets that ruin the day for all the people who are making the effort to go, I for one am looking forward to the usual prematch mingling with Rovers support and the jovial atmosphere that goes with!!

The buzz around this final is def bigger then our last one against Sligo. Two good footballing teams 1st against second, treble chasers v 32 year famine.
Even some of the barstoolers are paying attention.
Please God we finish 11 v 11 and no dodgy penos.
Can't wait.
I don't think that there is any complacency or presumption. Dundalk fans are well familiar with being favourites and coming away from the Aviva empty handed. It's a desolate and bleak feeling in stark contrast to the exhilaration of actually winning the cup.
Despite the huge loss of Chris Shields, Dundalk will go into the final as bookies favourites and if both teams play to the top of their potential I think the cup will return to Oriel Park. However, most observers realise that Rovers have the quality within their team to upset the odds.
I hope all involved with both clubs enjoy a great day out
You can't seriously think that I care about 'your club'.
But I do get a kick out of the delusional attitude and arrogance of many of those attached to Rovers.
Winning a treble by capturing the cup tomorrow would be wonderful. It would simply be a small added bonus to have the chance to do so against the under-achieving pretenders
nice post nesta hopefully the game and crowd lives up to expectation.
