    Default Fai cup final on sunday

    hi all just wondering if many members on here heading to Aviva on sunday
    I think its great value at only£10 per ticket and il be hoping for a cork city win
    even though I have great admiration for this Dundalk side who seem to be
    a little bit ahead of the rest of the league but I also think if there is a team
    to beat them it is city, so looking forward to a trip to the big smoke on sunday

    Heading up myself. City had a great deal on a train, € 35 return dropping at Landsdowne Road and returning from Connolly Station. Needless to say it sold out fast.

    I'm quitely confident of a City win. As someone said on the radio during the week, City are the one team that Dundalk wouldn't want to be meeting in the Final.

    If the game is half as good as the last league game between them in Turners Cross it will be a cracker although Cup Finals tend not to be great games with so much at stake.

    The € 10 admission is indeed great value, something the F.A.I. managed to get right. Should be a handy crowd at it.

    just back after a long day, drive to the big smoke and we can,t have
    any complaints as Dundalk proved why they are league champions and
    are that bit better than the rest of us. It was a great atmosphere and even
    though the game was not the best at least it dried up just before k.o so well
    done Dundalk and well deserved.

    It is becoming an annual event now as we head to the big smoke again on sunday
    to take on what must be one of the best LOI teams ever Dundalk in a repeat of last
    years final. I have a feeling this is going to be our year. City till I die

    Well it wont help them anyway, but they are defying the odds all year, I would love
    to see them get out of their group as it would be great for Irish football and also give
    them a few million euro.

    I think it did have a huge impact on the outcome. As I previously stated in another thread, the League of Ireland and the FAI did Dundalk no favours with their fixtures scheduling. Still it looked like the final was going to penalties until City scored the injury time winner. Congrats to Cork for winning their first silverware under John Caulfield.

    I was very happy Ketchup , I just had a feeling it was going to be our year. We actually beat Dundalk
    three times this year and that is not a bad boast as they are a seriously good team . I am also delighted
    to see two Dundalk lads in the final Irish squad for the trip to Austria this weekend.

    I think the form of the last 10 weeks since Sean Maguire left tells you where the momentum is. Dundalk to win. Can’t see Cork scoring

    Will be there again on Sunday as we go for the double!! I am a bit concerned with our form over the last 2 months
    but this is a one off game against our biggest rivals and I know that we will be 100% up for it and like any close game
    it could go all the way to a penalty shoot out..
    The bookies have Dundalk as favorites and as we know to our cost they are seldom wrong... Rebels Abu

    I think this match will be a very tight affair as is always the case when these two teams play each other. City are going for the Double while Dundalk will be looking to avenge last years Final defeat. I will go for a narrow win for Dundalk maybe 1-0.
