Sniffer, you've managed the near impossible and cheered me up.

I was lucky enough to find a bar showing the game... I'm very ****ed of not being there in real. I wanted to go down to Dublin but had to play a footie game myself. Gutted to miss that. Absolutely great game, and true promotion for Irish football, this game was better than the English Cup final from last year. And I never thought I'd actually feel compassion for St Pats, but, being in the lead 3x and letting it slip out of hands by an owngoal...

Well done to Derry though, what a way to win a trophy, this night will be remembered for years.

He also said there was supposed to be a marquee where all the participants in the parade were to get tea and sandwiches, but that the marquee had blown away and no alternative arrangements were made. If that was the case, then it was a poor show, especially as the majority were youngsters.

Are you sure they weren't Waterford supporters because I think I was part of that conversation? Either that or I had the exact same conversation

. Was it at half time when a tall, extremely good-looking chap came up and was talking to two veterans who were next to half a dozen young lads? They said the marquee was torn asunder by the wind and that they were freezing sitting around for 4 hours.

Excellent match - easily the best cup final I've seen. I feel really sorry for Frosty and Dave Mulcahy who, for the second time in 3 seasons, were leading the cup final with 5 minutes to go only to end up losing!

Dont know who they were talking to, the guys in football jerseys were definitely UCD, one black guy and 3/4 other lads. Didn't notice if one was them was 'an extremely good-looking chap' (not that way inclined

).

They were about 3 rows in front of us and the Kilkenny lads were much younger about 3 rows in front of that again.
