EA Sports Cup Quarter Finals Begin TONIGHT !

[ConfusedBlue]

Great advertisement for LOI football at the RSC tonight,both teams actually went out to play football.Rovers probably deserved a draw,how their striker missed that chance that came back off the bar I don't know!!!!
Massive result for us though,11 games undefeated(10 wins and a draw) should give us a massive pyschological boost for Fridays game in Fingal

I think in fairness it came at Purcell a bit quick CB, he can't have expected it. Still looked an awkward attempt to hit it though.

Don't know what's going on with the attendance figure though, as of course everyone should have been counted as a paid-in this time.
Yet there was 340 in the new stand (took pics so that's a definite figure! ), and I reckon well more than that in the old one.
As there was more in the new stand that I'd previously thought, I would reckon on at least 800 in total, if not more. Odd.

Doesn't matter though - sure they won their Cup Final on Saturday just gone...

Correct

[DeNiro]

When is the draw for the semi's does anyone know?

[CMcC]

Was it not already predetermined. Bohs v Waterford (dont know who is home).

Every game is a cup final for the teams we play.

Waaaaaaaaaaterford fully deserved their victory as Rovers just didnt turn up.
Purcell missed the proverbial sitter. Great free kick for the winner.
Hopefully Rovers can get their act together again for Friday against the hardy hars.

And hopefully Ucd or Waterford can win the EA(its in the game!) cup

There was nothing like that announced with the quarter final draw anyway.

Which brings me to the standard end-of-round question - anyone know when the semi final draw is?

No, the EA Sports Cup isn't quite at Champions League organisational level yet!

Wexford Youths played ok last night first half started off sitting a bit deep which invited Bohs on to us even more. Started with five across the middle which never really works for us. Winters had a poor first half and little bit of double standards in some of his decisions

Started better in second half and had a great period of pressure when Doyle and Sinnott came on. Not sure of guys name but the 17 yr old playing in midfield for Bohs headed two clear off the line both from corners showing benefit of player on the post and both where excellent clearances.

Overall Bohs deserved their win and good luck in the next round.

Next round is not until first week of August so who knows when draw will be made

[stann]

Just been told that the draw is the first week in June.
Person who told me was talking to Eoghan Rice, so that's pretty official then.

Sure what would he know, he works for the FAI!

Hearing that the draw won't be made until the World Cup game is out of the way so that there is an opportunity to get some publicity for the event!

Semi finals set for week of August Bank Holiday so I expect we are looking at the draw around 10 June TBH!

[stann]

That's a new development since, though, in fairness, somebody had a moment of clarity. My source remains impeccable!
