League Cup Final Teams Confirmed

**dcfcsteve** · 28/08/2007, 9:04 PM

City v Bohs.

Second year in a row we've had 2 big teams in the final, which is good for the League Cup.

I'd say a lot will hang on the choice/toss of venue in this one, but I think Bohs will pip it. City aren't up-to-speed yet.

5th and 7th in the league. Hardly 2 big teams this season tbh.

It will be a full house anyway

What more can you ask for?

Jesus Steve, you don't stop for one minute do you

**Aaron** · 28/08/2007, 9:53 PM

Our 17th final in 21 seasons, not bad.

[QUOTE=Rogue Trader;757338][QUOTE=dcfcsteve;757324]City v Bohs.

Did Cork beat Bray last night in a league cup semi ?

I thought it was a draw

That was a league game not league cup

I think we are unbeaten domestically since Robinson came in. Starting to play very well in stages. Morrow and McHugh are starting to gel into a great partnership. We'll be well up to speed by the time the final comes.

Its seems to be a case of a game of 2 halfs with us at the minute. Poor in the first half and excellent in the 2nd. Robbo must give them a serious boot at half time

He takin' the p!ss. He's just vexed that when people say Rovers they seldomly mean Shligo, so he's trying the same with Derry and Cork.

No idea who this Robinson person is, but if we're unbeaten since he got here, I think i like the guy.

We sounded poor in the first half tonight though - as we have a tendancy to do these days !

You can afford to be poor for a half against the likes of UCD or Bray (unless you're Cork, of course....

. But Bohs are much more likely to punish us if we're asleep for half the game.

If it's in Dalymount, I'd make Bohs favourite. I'd make us favs if it's at the 'randy.

100% agree.

Our home form is among the best in the league, still unbeaten. Our away form is best talked about when I'm not around. So for me the biggest thing wasn't who'd win tonight but whether we'd get a home draw or not.

Looking forward to it, could be a good game. Both Bohs and Derry may be good enough to challenge for a title next year but are way off the pace this season. This offers a great chance for both clubs for Setanta and a bit of Silverware. As I said, looking forward to it!

A toss of the coin decides. Apparently due to take place in next 2 days.

Fingers crossed for the 'randy...

**Jaime** · 29/08/2007, 9:29 AM

Toss of a coin today or tomorrow I believe?

Whoever gets the home advantage should expect to win it.

Not a great game last night but McCourt was worth the admission fee alone much as it galls me to pay in to the Brandywell. He never fails to impress me and was his usual skilkul tricky self last night against UCD. What a goal that was. He beat about 4 or 5 players and slotted in from an impossible angle or seemingly impossible angle.

Good goal by Kevin McHugh as well. Where all good strikers should be he was in the 6 yard box to meet a lovely cross.

Never expected any other result. My last League of Ireland game for the forseeable future. Happy memories. Pity it was to see Derry City but there ya go.
