    35,000 tickets sold as of this morning the FAI have confirmed.

    The Aviva record will be beaten can the all time one be beaten?

    Plenty of players have missed cup finals too Id say. I know Richie Ryan missed the 2010 final cause of suspensions. Always thought suspenions shouldnt cross over competitions.
    Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
    Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
    Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

    Amazing stuff! I'd say it will, the buzz is only growing for this one if anything.

    As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls

    Blinkhorn as well. They changed the rules after that so accumulation of yellow cards wouldn’t keep you out of the cup final but red card suspensions do.

    See! made little difference whether on the bench or not, his job was done prepping in advance and someone else could think on their feet during a game - rabbit in headlights.

    Not sure about that. Chris Shields missed the 2019 final due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

    It was changed so that players that accumulated 4 yellows wouldn’t miss the final (Shields missed the 2019 final due to 8 yellows) but it wasn’t until 2020 that it was changed again to mean players wouldn’t miss the final for any amount of yellows over the season

    The changes in ruling for cup final suspensions are in this article

    That’s fantastic. I wonder why the jump in numbers this year ? Would be great to think there is an increase in interest in the league. Hopefully it will be a good game. (And we win of course. No point in losing a thriller. Been there, done that twice v Derry in 2006 and 2012.)
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    Danny Murphy and Roy O'Donovan were suspended in 2005 after receiving yellows in a league game against Waterford. Neal Horgan was suspended in 2007.

    Two Dublin teams has to help, and its two teams who haven't been to the final in recent years. Seven years for Pats, 13 for Bohs so no fatigue from the fan bases, and probably some neutral interest after 3 teams playing in the last 6 finals. Plus crowds have been limited in the last 18+ months so lots of latent desire to go to football.

    That's a fantastic crowd so far. I think in comparison to previous years the matches I've seen for the most part have been very entertaining.

    Bohs and Dundalks European games were very enjoyable to watch.
