Some questions about Future Sight Bridge form Below:
1. I have Bridge in graveyard. I sac Ichorid for Cabal Therapy, in resp opponent sac his Mogg Fanatic. Will I get token from Bridge?
2. Bridge in grave, sac Ichorid for Therapy, in resp opponent plays Extirpate to Bridge. Will I get token?
3. Bridge in grave, I attack with Ichorid. Opponent blocks it with 1/1, both creatures die simultaneously. Tokens from Bridge?

1: no tokens. bridge is no longer in your gy when trigger resolves, so the "if bridge is in the yard" check comes up negative.
2: see 1
3: you MAY get tokens, because both triggers go on the stack at the same time, and since you control both of them you choose the order in which they stack. You COULD decide not to get any zombies, though that seems stupid to me. Smile

darkness, u r wrong...
he will get the tokens in questions 1 and 2, sence saccing a creature is the cabal abiliti cost, and paying costs doesn't use the stack, so u can't respond to them.

at question 3,he will get a token, but he MUST get, doesn't may.
he can choose which trigger he wants to go on the stack first, the RFGing bridge, or getting the token. once they both on the stack, the getting token effect doesn't care if bridge still in the grav or not. he will get the token anyway.

stenly, you're wrong, darkness is right here.
saccing doesnt use the stack, but the triggered ability of the bridge does use the stack.
also check the rules text of the bridge, it includes:"... if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard,..."
this condition will be checked twice, once when the ability triggers, and a second time when it resolves. so removing the bridge with its ability on the stack will make you get no token.

Whenever a nontoken creature is put into your graveyard from play, if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard, put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token into play.
When a creature is put into an opponent's graveyard from play, if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard, remove Bridge from Below from the game.

no no and mabey

darkness is right the trigger resolving is depended on the bridge being in the yard on resolution.

the therapy looks like this

sac to pay cost
trigger of bridge on stack
sac mogg with bridge trigger on stack
bridges remove trigger enters stack
stack begins resolving
bridge gest removed
mogg deals 1 damage
bridge trys to make a zombie but bridge is no longer in the graveyard, and becouse of the if claus on it fails to make a zombie
therapy resolves

extrapate scenario
sac to pay cost
bridge goes on stack
opponet responds with extrapate
stack resolves
extrapate removes bridges form hand yard and graveyard
bridge trys but fails to make a zombie
therapy resolves
