Sligo Rovers 1 - 3 Monaghan United
93' - The ref and his assistant just had a long discussion there, nothing came out of it either, maybe they were just chatting about the fiscal treaty.

90' - We'll have four minutes of added time here, ooooh the tension.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 3 Monaghan United

Sligo Rovers 1 - 1 Monaghan United
68' - Conor McMahon scored two own goals against Sligo in the league game this season and he went extremely close just there. Pascal Millien's cross was met by Alan Keane and hit just over by McMahon.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 1 Monaghan United 63' - Substitution - First change for Ian Baraclough as he brings on Pascal Millien in place of Jake Dykes. Standing ovation there.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 1 Monaghan United
62' - A glorious chance for Danny North to put his side ahead again but he just doesn't get enough on the ball from David Cawley. He needed to hit it with more strength.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 1 Monaghan United
59' - This game went to a replay last year, it's possible the same will happen tonight. I mean, anything's possible but neither side look like scoring. Wait and see, that will come back and bite me.

42' - Mark Quigley has been trying to get a good long range goal for a while but his effort there was no where near.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 1 Monaghan United
40' - The amount of offsides that have been given against the bit o'red tonight. You could swear Carlton Cole is playing, the man loves being offside.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 1 Monaghan United
32' - Roddy Collins' men have really found their feet in this game. Keith Quinn has just had a shot blocked by some part of Gavin Peers' anatomy, I'm not too sure where.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 1 Monaghan United

Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Monaghan United
19' - Chance for Mons there as Sligo fail to clear a corner and Conor Murphy heads just wide.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Monaghan United
18' - Tony Griffiths is getting a reasonable amount of ball here but he's struggling to get it past that Sligo defence.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Monaghan United
15' - Sligo are well on top. It could be four or five here, Alan Keane is bombing down that right side and putting in some excellent balls.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Monaghan United
8' - Just before the penalty Sligo had a brilliant opportunity. Ross Gaynor with the ball forward and North was faced with a one-on-one but he pass backed to Lee Lynch who struck the crossbar. Rovers are bossing possession so far.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Monaghan United 8' - Penalty - Mark Quigley steps up and smashes the ball past Schlingermann in goal.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Monaghan United
7' - Penalty to Sligo Rovers after Ross Gaynor was taken down by Stephen Maher.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Monaghan United
4' - Ah, hearing that the goal was disallowed as the ball had gone out of play before North got to it. Makes sense.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Monaghan United
1' - Oh goodie we have early excitement already. Alan Keane swings a cross in which Michael Schlingermann should save, but he fails to do so and Danny North sticks it in the net but the linesman had raised his flag. Didn't look offside to me, but sure anyways.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Monaghan United 1' - Kick-off - And Sligo Rovers get the first half up and running.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Monaghan United
0' - The teams are out on the pitch, we shall have kick-off soon, hopefully.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Monaghan United
0' - Sligo Rovers have knocked Monaghan out of the FAI Ford Cup in both 2010 and 2011, will it be 3 out of 3, or will it be a case of '2 out of 3 ain't bad'?
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Monaghan United
0' - It's a gorgeous evening here in the North-West. The players are out warming up/tanning themselves. It's Jessica Farry here, by the way. If you want to contact me at any time during the game just throw a tweet my way @jessicafarry. The PA system is playing a tune or two by Sligo Rovers' very own Pascal Millien. Nice to have something different here.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Monaghan United
0' - Tonight's line-ups are now available. Sligo Rovers field a strong starting XI with one notable inclusion, Jake Dykes, who is filling for the injured Iarfhliath Davoren. Jake made a big impression for The Bit O'Red on his League debut against UCD on Monday. For Monaghan United, star player Jordan Keegan isn't named in the match day squad. |

95' - Full Time - And that's full-time. Mr. Roddy Collins will be a happy, happy man. Disappointment for Ian Baraclough though as his side bow out after three finals in a row. Thanks for staying with me friends, I'll talk to you all soon I'm sure.
