    Franchise FC v Rovers Live on Setanta

    The second leg of our journey to the First Division is on live on Setanta on Friday. Kick-off is now 8.05pm. So you can all indulge in a spot of Friday night schadenfreude without having to get off the couch.

    Taping it
    That gets pride of place in my video collection going to watch rovers relegated over and over and over and over and over. I'll probably never leave the house again (except on friday nights of course)

    I'd almost be disappointed about this as I thought you could get quite a big crowd for this one if it wasn't on TV. At least it gives the league some extra coverage and gives those outside Dublin an opportunity to see it too.

    Great news - the play-offs are usually great entertainment. Think Harps v. Derry, UCD v. Athlone, Drogheda v. Galway, etc. Couldn't make the game on Tuesday though, so going to be at Tolka on Friday so it's not much use to me.

    Setanta love Tolka park for some strange reason - its as if they can't find the other eL grounds (i know they been to Inchicore & Phibsboro a few times).

    Maybe they confused & think Shel$ playing on friday?

    Unless it's another game like last night, in which case it would be the last thing we want those sitting on the fence to see.

    Franchise FC? Does this mean Dublin City FC have pulled out or something?

    Thank God the game is on in Tolka, live football from Whitehall would not a good advertisement for the league make

    Can't be as bad as last night (though I thought the same after the Waterford game).
    Together with all our hearts.

    Usual agreement is everything (E5k) to the home team.

    AFAIK Pineapple Stu is correct, home team gets the cash. Incidentally does anyone know if a play-off has ever been shown live before?

    Very much doubt it, they haven't been shown back as far as when we were in it the second time anyway.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    I'm sure the broadcasting pros at Setanta will take that point on board and be careful to point out to viewers that what is on offer is bottom-feeding panto and not to be viewed as a representing proper football in any shape or form!

    you would swear these cun.ts had never played in one the way they are going on.

    from fans of the side that have finished last in the LOI than any other?!?

    bottom-feeding? sums the gypos up really.
