FAI Cup 2021

[pineapple stu]

Third year in a row an ex UCD player decides the cup

[osarusan]

Congrats Pats, had the better nerves/luck in the penalties.

As an aside, whatever happened that penalty shootout modification from a few years ago where they reversed the order half way through? It was brought in after some research apparently showed that going first had some advantage, but seems to have disappeared.

[Philosophizer]

Jaros saved that peno from Wilson I think. Quality save if so

Really. I thought he pulled it wide.
Great result for Derry. Straight into Europe now and with lots of money to recruit more big names before next season too.

There is evidence to show the team that goes first wins 60% of the time. But in the case like this when they're shooting into the opposition fans end I think it equalises it.

I thought so too initially, but the replay from behind looked like Jaros got a finger tip to it

Congrats to St Pats and fans. I think the deserved it overall. Probably a bit biased due to the former Dundalk legends with the club - we still got a few mentions if our annual day out came to an end this year. I wonder what Stuey Byrne found so amusing after the Forrest interview, the pundits were being careful in what they were saying about his well known off field difficulties and ye cant be anything but delighted for the chap. Would have been a pity if his missed peno decided things after scoring the goal. The old cup hoodoo is now very much put to bed! Bohs, ye feel need to win some silverware to get the monkey off the back and kick on. They could target the nicest trophy in Irish football the LSC!

Pats probably shaded it but Bohs had ample chances in extra time and in the shoot out to win,Fair play to Pats and their fans who made great noise in the second half especially!

Agree Bohs needed the win today way more than Pats did - with the annual drain of their best players and no Euro money to replace them ; plus teams above them better off financially ; will take some effort by Long/Crolly to find replacements and improve on this year

As for Pats if they can increase the depth of their squad with quality they’ll push on …. Looking forward to next season already

That is a hard way to lose a final. Will take a while to get over that one… That aside, it was a wonderful crowd and occasion for the showpiece game for our league. Hopefully the league won today too.

Apprently a 5 year old was struck with a bottle by Bohs 'fans' at Irishtown House (according to Twitter).

[Jack B]

At the rate you lot are losing money, it might be your only opportunity to see a game in 3 years time.

LOL love it.
The million in transfers this year 1.3 in Euro money and next years CL money will help with the accounts
Is it true that Lambert is thinking of entering the Fontaines in the Eurovision song contest as a back door to Europe?

[DCWA]

Bad season domestically for 007 alright and next year already looking tough for them. You would wonder how many of those 3 years he will see at Bohs.

On the final itself I thought it was a poor game as they generally are, fantastic crowd and the right result for Derry so happy days on those two fronts.

The books never lie. We’ll see what the profit and loss is for this year when you file your returns. We’ve all played the win or bust LOI game and we all know how it ends.
