FAI Cup Semi-finals

Really looking forward to the Pat's match tonight. Our last chance at silverware this season. It's gonna be a tough one, obviously with Bohs being Champions, but also with players missing.
Dessie Byrne, Stephen Paisley, Gary O' Neill, John Murphy and Bobby Ryan all out injured with Mark Quigley a major doubt and Jason Gavin and Derek O' Brien both cup-tied.
It's hard to see where our goals will come from because Glen Fitzpatrick is an absolute donkey and 18 year old Stephen Fitzpatrick, who started against Galway on Monday may play some part. The fact that Bohs have such a good defensive record this season doesn't bode well for the Saints.
I'm sure Jamie Harris will be put up forward if things aren't looking great, but hopefully the likes of Keith Fahey and Ryan Guy can provide a goal threat.
Bohs have sold out their allocation and there's just under a thousand tickets left so should be a cracking atmosphere.

Why wouldn't you? There'll be a great atmosphere there. You'll enjoy it!

estebancambias · 24-10-2008 12:33pm

depends...i'll cycle over if its ok'ish out.

SantryRed · 24-10-2008 12:48pm

Want to go meself but sick at the minute.

Watch it on the box instead:D

applehunter · 24-10-2008 12:51pm

Is this not sold out?

SectionF · 24-10-2008 12:52pm

Tearing my hair out as I can't go

... glad it's on the box.

Richmond has been a happy hunting ground for Bohs of late, but of course it's a cup match etc. Even with the Fahey factor, I'd say Bohs have to be favourites.

I'd say Bohs are definately favourites.

Pat's best chance of goals i think will be from midfield or maybe Jamie Harris getting his head onto it from a corner!

I hope Pat's win tonight, and lose the Final.

It's been eleventy million years since SPA won the cup, be funny if they failed at the final.

Both games on RTE Pats Bohs tonight and Galway Derry at 3:15 on Sunday right after the Chelsea Liverpool game

Nalz · 24-10-2008 2:28pm

Alot of players missing for Pats tonight, Bohs have more or less a full squad to choose from? I'm guessing Anto Murphy is out, which is a good thing imo. Not sure if Powell is back yet? I'd like to see this:

[PHP]

Murphy

Heary

McGuinness----Oman

Powell

O Donnell

Joxer

Deegan

Brennan

Kalonas

Crowe

You're just evil, plain and simple!

bohsman · 24-10-2008 2:38pm

Murphy is cup tied. Liking that lineup but Id say Jason Byrne will play instead of Joxer.

I have to slum it out on the bus this evening? What's the quickest one to get, considering it will be Friday rush hour? The 51/B/C from Aston Quay? The 19?

Did I hear that Fenn may be back in the reckoning? If so, I'd love to see him team up with Kalonas and showboat for the telly.

The 78A from Aston Quay usually gets there in about 15-20 minutes

bohsman · 24-10-2008 11:30pm

Do people still think Pats are the best team in the country?

estebancambias · 24-10-2008 11:44pm

what a touch by fahey for the goal....he's my favourite player in the whole wide world...i want to change my username.

bohsman · 24-10-2008 11:45pm

They really are a one man team.

Like Pats did until a short time ago?

Absolutely slaughtered them. O'Donnell and Deegan snuffed out Fahey for most of the game - we got just a brief glimpse of what he can do.

As usual, Rico's commentary was wildly biased, but he did come out with one good insight. Most of the players on this Bohs team were there before Fenlon arrived, but Nutsy has transformed them.
