FAI Cup Final Referees Appointed

[Dr.Nightdub]

FFS how dumb does the FAI look now. A final to be played in Dublin, in a Dublin ground and a Dublin team which is fair enuff, but to appoint a Dublin ref and 4th official and a Dublin linesman.....odds firmly stacked against us methinks....

It's that biased Dublin ground that will be the undoing of youse. If it had've been, say, a Cork ground in Dublin, it'd just be too close to call.

I don't think the ref will be dublin biased. That only happens when they leave the pale as all dubs need to stick together then...

As if you were ever going to win it!

No we were never going to win it.
Sure didnt the cork lads have it sorted BEFORE kickoff.
And I dont mean the team!!!
All we wanted was a fair and impartial team of officials but that wasn't what we got.
" As if you were ever going to win it!".......we had the same chance that Drogheda had of winning the FAI Cup.

There's a reason why we were the first club to win back to back U21 titles and why we've won two cups this year and play in the semi-final of the Dr. Tony O'Reilly trophy on Saturday. There's also a reason why none of that applies to you and it has nothing to do with referees.

Well done on your successes even though I didnt doubt or ask to be told about them.
But sorry, this has everything to do with referees!!!!!!!!

Fact. Cork won the McGuill Cup THIS year with HUGE assistance from the CORK official that misrefereed it.

I am in no way doubting the ability of an excellant u21 squad you have in Cork. Just the prejudice of officials.
With the eyes of the country on the FAI Cup Final I hope its going to be seen to be completely impartial.

These are BSI Kite Marked and approved for clutching...

thank God its not kelly or stokes they would ruin it

If Bohs were in it though I'd bet my life savings on Kelly being appointed to ref it...

Very low key "build-up" to this game. Almost zero publicity so far & its already Wednesday...
