QuoteSUPER atmosphere. Looks about 40,000 there.
Very poor policing, why are one set of fans escorted past a pub full of opposition fans?
In 2019 Rovers & Dundalk were kept well apart. We were allowed nowhere near the Irishtown end of the ground.

Not 40k. Few rows cordoned off at the front all around, and the second tier at the Shels end mostly empty. Ditto the two corners in the top tier
Probably has hit 30k though. It's a decent crowd
Great finish, Farrell totally lost under that cross field ball

Said it to some lads around me before the game, and was typing here before the goal.... I think this could be one of the most one sided finals in a long while. Derry match up terribly for Shels, and Connor Kane missing is a huge loss for Shels.
Goal was coming, could be 3 or 4 by the end.
Graydon is giving Shels a roasting so far
Shels massively out of their depth here….

Ruthless by Derry. They aren't breaking a sweat. The Aviva suits them.
Derry look very well set up. Men against boys stuff for the first half. Two wingers are destroying Shels.
Shels have got it all wrong for this game. 3 at the back is destroying them, Boyd has too terrible of a touch for the game etc etc
On the way to repaying the favour to Pats
Looking like a good call. Shels really needed to get to half time without conceding the second.Originally Posted by Kiki Balboa
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Cawley and Stuey look sick there!

“Stuart, your heart was telling you Shelbourne would win the before the match, what have they got to do to get back into the game”
”Well they’ve got to get a goal Peter and they can’t concede a third”

1990 the last time a team lost the Cup final by three goals.
No-one's ever lost by a bigger margin
Can’t remember the last time a team put in as bad an FAI Cup final performance as this shels team. I suppose this is what happens when a team gets the luck shels have had to get to the final. The fact that a 6th place Bohs team (who are regarded by their fans as the worst in their clubs modern history) are the best team shels have faced en route to the final is mad

Certainly wouldn't put it past Derry to win by 4, Shels appear to have given up already.
35% of our points this season came against Shels

Was it not a crowd from Wrexham who obtained tickets and caused the trouble last year.
That's the fun of the Cup I guess. Anyone can fluke a good draw. The Rovers/Dundalk/Cork domination was unhealthy
Derry were always favourites - maybe not to win this easily, but to win anyway - but if both clubs can get the sort of crowd boost that Bohs and Pats seem to have gotten from last year's final, then it'll be worth it
