WITNESS the MADNESS of the IRISH CUP FINAL! 🤯 

Hero ❤️

Also one of the cheapest tickets for a final, but its still cool that its such a high attendance indeed.

@@Dutchologyrealistically the price for a cup final doesn’t matter unless it’s stupidly expensive. If it’s a cup final people are going to pay.

Most of the Irish fans are glory hunters and support Premier League Clubs.

Good news for the Drogs last week - let's hope it's not a false dawn 💜💙💜

No way! Whereabouts in America. That is amazing 👏🏻

I'm born and raised in California@@BlairMcNally

Huge respect from a Drogheda United fan 💪

Great stuff. Hope you enjoyed the day. As a Pats fan, I certainly did 😎

That’s amazing dude what got you into the league of Ireland and what team do you follow ???

May I ask what role Blair had in developing the venue this game was played in? The FAI are far from perfect but hyperbolic nonsense like your comment makes no sense.

@@whoneedsposers the rugby and the government contributed a lot more to the Aviva than the FAI did

Too right he has. So refreshing for someone to cover Irish football without the pathetic cynicism we usually have to deal with. Thank you @BlairMcNally

@@whoneedsposers It's coverage without the cynicism ... basically not someone like you.

If he can get a ticket. 😀😀😀😀

What displays did they take away and why ?

​@@Coolcol44displays from both ultras groups. On the grounds that they were fire hazards.

@@Coolcol44 literally hours before the match started

Irish people have always supported their local sports teams,in Gaelic football ,hurling and Rugby,it was only the soccer supporters that didn't some reason

Nothing worse than seeing Irish lads walking about with English soccer tops on. Fkn CRINGE!

@@gallowglass2630It’s because there are too many field sports in Ireland. There wasn’t enough people to go around, and football was the loser. I think the rising support for the League of Ireland is down to the rising population of recent years.

@designatedproductions746 You have missed my point GAA may be only played here,but carlow GAA fans support carlow they don't support the most successful team which is at the moment dublin.Impossible to tell whether soccer is the most popular definitively the participation figures are a nonsense whereas GAA figures are based on insurance paid so there is a better picture of the participation however they are other variables that make it hard to say definitively whether gaelic football is more popular either.I don't think its really a matter of which is more popular because irish people are sports mad generally which means that on a given saturday or sunday people have a choice which sporting event to go to.

@@davidpryle3935 Yes .Also soccer generally have fairly small hinterlands to draw support from even in dublin,whereas GAA and rugby are organised on a county or province basis giving them access to bigger fanbases.

Same when Bohs knocked out Aberdeen about 20 years ago 'pub league' etc. Remember when Derry obliterated Gretna? Same crap.

@@ArcadiaJunctionHobbies Ye I have said that numerous occasions as well. Aside from the Proclaimers most of the teams is Scotland would struggle in the Irish Premiership.

Thanks for this info! Makes sense now 👀

Another own goal by the hapless FAI.....FFS.

Welcome over any time 👍

Sadly our league grounds are not up to this standard. I’d recommend coming over to see Pats at Richmond Park 5hough. Small ground, but can generate a great athmosphere.

It is brilliant atmosphere in Ireland been 3 times including that final drogheda and bohs

We (pats) winning it again 😂😂😂

Mix of amateur, part time and full time.

​@@AMRPKAll top tier professional bar Drogheda who are semi pro

The front rows of seats were all cut off at the front to stop pitch invasions from the fans. That took a fair chunk off of it. There were also a lot of tickets given away to some people who evidently didn’t go 🤝

@@BlairMcNallyCheers for that Blair. Two of us traveled into Dublin with the intention of buying tickets for the cup final from the ticket master van at the top of Landsdowne road, as we have done for many years. This facility no longer exists, and you cannot purchase a ticket on the day, regardless. Everything has to be done online now. A ticket master bloke told us the match was sold out. So basically the match was sold out, but the stadium wasn’t, which is a strange state of affairs. We ended up watching the match in a pub on Baggot street. Anyway, that’s why I asked the question. Thanks again.

@@davidpryle3935 yeah mate sorry to hear that! Nowadays if you’re ever looking for a ticket for a match Twitter (now called X) is what I always use if it’s sold out to find one off someone 🙌🏻

A lot of now shows and capacity was reduced for security purposes.

Ur going to

Your spelling is nearly as atrocious as your team

You are incorrect, The biggest attendance before this years was 41000 so the record was broken this year

41,238 in 1945 as I now know @@cillianwhelton5963
