This would be lovely to see.

A campaign has begun to arrange a minute's applause at this Sunday's FAI Cup final to support former Derry City striker Mark Farren in his ongoing health battle. The 33-year-old continues to fight a brain tumour and has already received huge backing from the Irish football community, but one group of fans is hoping to give the Donegal man a lift by giving him a standing ovation during the 18th minute (in honour Farren's shirt number) of Sunday's televised showpiece between Dundalk and Cork City.
