Sligo Rovers V Dundalk | Sun 29 Sept | 5pm | Showgrounds | FAI Cup Semi-final

[Ezeikial]

With a 6 day turnaround time to Sunday's semi-final, there should be no issues with recovery as long as there are no injury concerns arising from the Rovers match

Presumably the team will be similar with Andy Boyle and Dean Jarvis possibly pressing claims for inclusion. Sean Murray and Daniel Kelly might also feature, but it is hard to see either replacing Robbie Benson or Jamie McGrath unless through a forced change.

The only minor concern is the potential for complacency, with some players mentioning a treble and/or cup final in the Aviva in interviews last night.

Adult tickets only - apparently the club didn’t get any kids or concession tickets.

On the face of it that's bizarre - there is established precedent on the ratio of concession tickets that must be provided. Calling oldfogey for clarification / confirmation.....

This is not correct. I got 2 tickets for the match including a concession ticket for my daughter who is a student.

Hi Niall.
I got them yesterday. The concession tickets is simply marked concession ticket and was priced at €10. I assume all concession tickets are this price. Still good value IMO

Trebles are hard. I can see this one going tits up on us for some reason. Especially with the dumb officials we have in this league.

Anyway here's Buckley: https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2019/09 ... -to-sligo/

Home tickets are expected to be sold out today. Do we think we will fill our allocation of 800+?

I am only repeating what Brian Gartland had said this week but we have definitely left a couple of trebles behind, especially last season. No disrespect to Cobh but we should've beat them easy last year and had a good crack at the final.
I'm the same as you though, I've a bad feeling about the cup this year.

[Peak11]

Yeah we left both trebles behind really. Losing to Galway in a penalty shootout was dumb when we would have taken Pats in the final and done a Quadruple.

The night of the 2015 Double I made a joke to Stephen Kenny and Vinny when congratulating them (neither of them have any idea who I am) that I was annoyed about that Galway match. They looked genuinely stung by it!
