Lads €10 for this is incredible value.

Slattsy

Embarrassing there from the Drogheda lad rolling around.

5starpool

Brennan rolling around holding his face until he realises nothing is going to be given and then magically he is ok. That lad has a future in the game.

Amirani

Great game.

That_Guy

Amazing game. Absolutely amazing.

5starpool

Excellent entertainment, delighted Rovers won.

Mars Bar

That was class. What an end to the game!

cson

That was a great game of football

SantryRed

So where's AgileMyth and I wonder if he still think Danny North is a pile of ****e?

electrobanana

Great advert for the domestic game really enjoyed that.

Bob the Seducer

The preceding programme has been a public service broadcast on behalf of the League of Ireland.

That_Guy

I've no affiliation with either team but my nerves are still going for whatever reason.

doncarlos

Some atmosphere here. Amazing game. Delighted for Drogheda. Karma is a Bitch lads hahaha.

Corholio

Great game of football. Tuite's **** up of the free kick was ridiculous though, even though Drogheda equalised that should never happen.

Wouldn't be Drogheda's biggest fan in how I've seen them play but felt bit sorry for them after that.

Pat Dolan is a complete muppet

Amazing game.. a tenner well spent for anyone in the Aviva today. What a final 10 minutes!

Totally agree he just watched a great game and all he can do is bitch about the size of the crowd.

18K is a decent effort in my eyes.

Anyone know what the attendances was actually? I'd have thought around 17-18,000

Just under 18,000.

MonkstownHoop

Great game, the ref was awful in the second half, lost it, only thing worse was dundalk fans wearing sligo gear at the game, you don't do that, pathetic

He must have been expecting a sellout by the sounds of it.

losthorizon

Great Game and a great goal to win the cup with some controversy thrown in as well. Really enjoyed watching that.

He has a point though, the game was priced as a loss leader in a modern state of the art stadium and only looked half full if that.

Very entertaining game though in fairness.

We all know that,i blame RTE for giveing him the platform to talk ****e.Like when he said Forester was worth 17 million ,he loves the sound of his own voice.

Makes no sense. I'm no lover of the Drogs but karma would have been Sligo beating eleven Anthony Buttimers courtesy of a dodgy reffing decision.

Not really Drogs players fault that Buttimer made a dogs dinner of the semi final.

But the match had two teams from outside the capital it was never going to be a huge crowd and to get 18,000 was a pretty good attendance imo.

Gwan the bit o red.

Gwan Richie, give Dolan a punch there.

Hmmmm outside the Capital, back in 2002 Dundalk fans significantly outnumbered Bohs. Derry v Sligo wouldn't have topped 18000? Or Dundalk, Cork etc

maybe so but people had a lot more money back in 2002 tis an expensive day out in Dublin these days for a lot of people.

Ref was shocking though.

Recession Recession, people probably spent as much in the pubs watching the game, with the Welsh derby on too. Not everyone was minted in 2002 and not everyone is skint now. The recession didnt stop people travelling from Sligo in significant numbers. Is it not an expensive day out in Dublin for Dublin people too? Travel costs to Dublin are not as prohibitave as you might like to think or have you not left the Capital to know? Just ask the powerhouses of Bohs and Shels as the not too distant past powerhouses in the Capital about the cost of winning trophies, the cost to their fans and the thousands that turned up to their games 2002 and now:rolleyes:

Did Derry fans suffer the extent of the recession as the southerns teams?

Just back from this delighted we won, ecstatic great game.

I wouldn't say you were robbed outright - a draw probably would have been the fair result.

Re the attendance; thought it was good tbh. Great value for a tenner.

The_Kew_Tour

Great game. Well done to Sligo, but Drogheda were part of a Super Cup final.

It had everything. Drogs can feel hard done by for Sligo 2nd. Ref made cock up. But was great move for the goal and North did the damage when he came on.

18k was it? Considering the crap day it was also that was pretty good crowd. I'd have said in around 13-15 at start of week.

cson

It was a cracking day weather wise in Dublin today.

Alfa Quadrifoglio

What a fantastic game of football, both side contributed to a really entertaining Cup Final laced with genuine quality. There has not been a bad final in the Aviva. The crowd of just 18,000 is disappointing considering it was just €10 for an adult ticket but no surprise given that 90% of "Irish" football fans have no interest in Irish Football!!!! It sounded like a far bigger crowd due to the enthusiasm of the Drogs and Bit O'Red fans.

lala88

I wonder where all the so called ''best fans in the world'' were today'? enjoying the Welsh Darby im sure
