Worst possible Cup draw.

**joeSoap** · 27/08/2007, 6:39 PM

Longford away. A poor gate, lots of travelling and against a premier side thats running into a bit of good form.

One word-DISASTER!!

For **** sake here we go again with the **** cup draws, UCD away would be the only worse other outcome.

I'd happily swap you for our draw.

Just throw in a few of the unused seats around Belfield and the deal is done!

**JohnD** · 27/08/2007, 8:17 PM

Agree. Poor Draw. Anyone else would have been better

Yous have to travel everywhere twice, sometimes to Finn Harps and Dundalk, so a trip to Longford is not that tough for yous.

Hard to pick a winner from that tie, they're about the same level.

Cant feckin wait man some craic to be had

**jebus** · 28/08/2007, 9:30 AM

can't wait myself, not a great draw for the club financially, but I remember us playing Longford in the cup a few seasons back and it was a great game and laugh, so roll on the quarter, and hopefully, semi finals!!

**lfc at heart** · 28/08/2007, 10:01 AM

I think this is a great draw, we are well capable of beating Longford then a semifinal place, we got the easy one Lads, well up for it, what date is this fixed for Friday or Saturday night at what time

**declan hide** · 28/08/2007, 11:48 AM

dont longford play Saturday night?

**joeSoap** · 28/08/2007, 12:04 PM

When the fixtures are on will be determined by the television schedules I'd imagine. Last season they showed 2 quarter finals live, so I'd imagine they'll show Bohs-Pats and Waterford -Cork live.

Thats another reason to be glum. If we got any of those teams, we'd probably be getting a few bob TV money as well....

RTE, TG4 and Setanta don't even know where Longford is I'd say...

**LFC in Exile** · 28/08/2007, 1:25 PM

It all depends what you want out of a draw - a chance to advance or a few bob. This is probably a poor draw for the latter, but it gives us a better chance of advancing to the semis than some of the other alternatives.

IMO we should be hoping the QF draw gives us as good a chance as possible to get to the semis. Let the money mind itself. We're not small time any more. And this draw is as favourable as we coul dhave hoped for - except for it being away.

RTE showed our semi-final against Longford live from their ground a few years ago - a packed house. It looked very good on tele - even though we lost.
