Setanta Cup Final

[Dodge]

Hoping Linfield win. Mainly because I won't be at a game to hear their fans gloat.

Hope its a good game for the TV (but with a Doolin "inspired" Drogs team I doubt it)

He does, but Ian and Bertie are being invited as head of states to the game.

Just to be pedantic, they are Heads of Government; the Heads of State are Mary Mac and Liz.

Without wishing to sound clichéd, I'd hope for a good game. Like Lofty, I'm not sure I'd want either side to win, but if there's a poor game it could doom the whole competition. The SS Cup final is probably one of the few times we might be able to get increased attention for eL/IL football.

any idea who the ref is

Whys that ? Doolin fairly inspired the players to play you off the park for the last park of the game in inchicore .Still a bit sore are we We are well capable of playing some good football .But then again you all know better dont ya .

This match actually has the potential to be the worst ever televised game.

Of course you're well capable of doing it but you don't. And eveyr other fan in the country thinks likewise. Its not about whether you deserved to beat pats, its about whether you're going to excite nuetrals. And the answer is no

[paudie]

In fairness to Drogs they were flying in the first half in the semi against Linfield last season.

I think they took Linfield by surprise and should have got a couple before they scored. Held on to the lead fairly comfortably as well if I recall.

If Doolin does something similar this year Drogs could do it.

Since you brought up exciting neutrals over results can I remind people how well we played against Linfield last week

[passerrby]

if your stuck for a few bob could you not sell some houses of the plans..sorry robbie could not resist

[GavinZac]

they can always ground share in oriel.

[kdjaC]

Doesnt sound too bad...personally id prefer that there was a big scrap. everyone involved game was abandoned and both teams thrown out of the competition.....Then us and Pats would playoff to see who gets the money.

hhehheeh

I think we get a 3-0 headstart in that scenario and your barred from getting penos. Dolans rules afaik.

Like Stephen Kenny once said, you only win trebles on dartboards, a Drogs win for me

What pub in Drogheda would be good to watch the match on Saturday??

Mother Hughes. Stick around for the night and you'll be in for a cracker of a night if we win as the players and cup will probably arrive back there

[lilywhite stu]

My despise for Drogheda equals any thoughts for Linfield. I cannot bear to see any of them win. .

I feel pretty much the same. Can't wait for next year when they'll let the first division champions (aka Dundalk) play in the setanta cup aswell.

if you beat the league cup winners.

Doesn't Paisley support Ballymena?

Doesn't Bertie support some shower of English w@nkers? There might be some chance of Paisley turning up but Bertie??? He'll be packing his ManUre scarf, hat and jersey to go over and watch them get the trophy on the Sunday. Actually, it would say a hell of a lot about who gives a damn about Irish football if Paisley turns up and Bertie doesn't
