I look forward to meeting Linfield though

I would say Derry have a good chance of getting out of group, particularly if the beat Drogheda at home in a few weeks. At the start I viewed it as two from three qualifying with the three being Linfield, Drogheda and Derry and I stand by that.

Fair point.

Actually, the more think about it - if it was a Linfield-Derry final, I think I'd prefer Windsor. Easier for our fans to get to, and a bigger capacity.

That would be one hell of a Final for the Cup as well !

Attendance ways it would undoubtedly be the best. On a Saturday you could easily be talking about 10,000 plus there.

AFAIK if a Northern team is involved it will be definitely be in Windsor

Listen face the facts St Pats will win it. Dont even bother with the rest cause Pats are the best. Joey Ndo for player of the year again.

pats would be an good outside bet to win the setanta! any team with gary o neill kirbs and ndo has to have a good chance! drogs sneaked out of nowhere last year why not Pats? they are an excellent team and in barry ryan one of the better eircom league goalies!

off to the bookies to invest! good each way bet!

The 3-1 game at United Park was a disaster - and IMO Kenny's team selection that night was ridiculous and was affected by telling the players that day that he was off to Dunfermiline.

This year though you are the new Shelbourne, we tend to raise our game.

dont really give a fcuk how many times we passed the halfway line ? we put the ball in the back of the net and won the game .I thought thats what your supposed to do
