Bray, Waterford, Sligo or Fingal for the cup

[Dalymountrower]

Has to be Sligo (deservedly). The only problem for them would be complacency.

[dublinred]

Very little between the 4 teams left home advanatge in the semis will be a big factor would make Bray the favorites given their recent cup history.

[Mr A]

Hope Waterford do it. They seem to have sorted themselves out as a club and Henderson is working miracles there with little to spend.

Agreed

[pineapple stu]

Hope Waterford do it.

Agreed. Whatever distracts them from promotion is good by me.

Recent cup history you are joking?

[Roo69]

ye were lucky to get a 2-2 draw with us recently..dodgy penalty..plus we routinely spank ye in the Showgrounds..plus was in Flancare last Sat and did'nt see anything to be afraid of...having said that would'nt really want Bray away in the Semis.

Quite the oppisite i would have thought, Sligo's 2 goals that night were absolutely gifted to you by Bray, especially the 2nd one were Pender got an assist Normally when we play eachother the home team wins.

We dominated in Longford from start to finish and only for a keeper in top from, the woodwork 3 times and a goal that never was we should have won comfortably.

Any home draw at this stage is all you can ask for really. The one draw i dont want is Sligo away for above said reason by you.

Semis - 09 (at least)
1/4s - 08 (lost to galway)
1/4s - 07 (lost to pats)
Semis - 06 (lost to drogheda)

I think....

Its not winning it but its not a bad record in fairness

Actually ur spot on about the home team usually winning.....Longford are 2nd bottom or so in Division 1 so i would expect ye to dominate them but ye didnt score!!..tho ye did have a great win in Dayler recently so it's very hard to call...any team can beat any other on their day so we'll wait and see!!

I said Fingal at the start of the season so i'll stick by it. Nice for any of the first divsion clubs to win it. Shows the gulf in class isn't as big as some people like to think.

It shows no such thing I'm afraid.

[MariborKev]

I think all the "big" teams being out of it adds to the excitement of the fai cup which is great. You wouldn't get that in england.

Er, two years ago you had EXACTLY that.

[oriel]

I would like Sligo to win it, a proper football club with really passionate fans - how many cups have they won ? last one 1994 ? before that 78 v Gilesy/Dunphy's Rovers ?

Would like to see Waterford win it too, as well as they being our neighbours, theres a lot of Cork lads down there.

[Lamper.sffc]

Obviously would love us to win it but if not, ill be hoping waterford do it. The best team iv watched in our division this year and the one team i dont want to meet in the semi finals.

[KK77]

Semis - 09 (at least)
1/4s - 08 (lost to galway)
1/4s - 07 (lost to pats)
Semis - 06 (lost to drogheda)

Exactly it's not winning but that's just my opinion.

[Réiteoir]

One thing is for sure, one of them will be the Europa League 2nd Qualifying Round next season.

Let us hope none of them draw Carmarthen Town next season

[bennocelt]

thats a 0.000 added to our euro co effieicents next year so!

[longfordjames]

Hope Fingal win it,and get promoted purely because PD and Europa League football would kick start their fanbase.

[Sam_Heggy]

Hope Fingal win it,and get promoted purely because PD and Europa League football would kick start their fanbase.

And the League needs Fingal to be doing well.

Won the cup twice - In '94 as you rightly say and in 1983 against bohemians when Harry Mclaughlin scored one of the greatest cup final goals to win it. If i'm not mistaken, dermot o'neil was 'keeper for the opposition on both occassions.
