League Cup draw

[Martinho II]

Dave Hill is the manager now, unfortunately he has a very inexperienced team made of mostly of Youths and Under 17's to work with, but once he gets a few experienced players in we will be ok.
To be fair some of the players that were playing today would have been playing their 4th game of the week but they are still very game and that is all you can ask of young lads.

i thought dave hill had quit after being told that cobh were in the a league:confused:

To be fair I assume he was looking for date of the final as we know Derry will have to be there as they are only side who take this competition seriously.

does any know when the draw for the next round will be on?

[sligoman]

'The draw for the Quarter Finals of the EA SPORTS Cup will take place tomorrow, May 6th'

From here (http://www.loi.ie/index.php/about/press-office/649-athlone-and-ucd-battle-for-ea-sports-cup-quarter-final-place).

[Poor Student]

I don't see why they're dragging out the competition into September with a large lag between the quarters and semis. I think the competition would run better with a final in June or July. As low key as it already is, it fades away with the latter two rounds running so disconnected from the rest of the tournament.

Clubs outside the LoI and representative sides are involved. There's a LoI break in june aswell. I believe four rounds in quick succession is ample for the early rounds and the Semis and Final can take place later in the summer season.

[mediahack]

Hear Waterford drew Shamrock Rovers at home in the 1/4 final. Any other news of the draw?

[Sheridan]

Bohs away to Wexford. Don't know about the rest.

[pineapple stu]

Which leaves Galway, Sligo, UCD and Fingal.

Love the way Cup draws are leaked in this country. :rolleyes:

And there is no chance that Galway will be drawn against Sligo and another local derby with UCD against Fingal :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[pineapple stu]

I was giong to say that alright, but that doesn't fit with not setting up Waterford v Wexford and Bohs v Rovers.

[Rory H]

would ye nerds stop posting rubbish until the full draw is made and confirmed. ffs

[pineapple stu]

How do you konw it's rubbish until the full draw is made and confirmed?

Or are you also a nerd posting rubbish? ;)

[blackholesun]

Waterford v Rovers confirmed ...

bhs

[Sheridan]

Wexford vs. Bohs was confirmed by Bohs on their website for May 19th a few hours ago, that's where I saw it.

[Rovers1]

Or are you also a nerd posting rubbish? ;)

NO, no he's not

[sligoman]

Is it any wonder this cup gets criticised so much when even the draw is coming out in bits. It should have been published on the LOI website as soon as it was made.

[pineapple stu]

NO, no he's not
The nerds are correct though.

Galway v UCD confirmed. So that leaves Fingal v Sligo.

[Sunny Jim]

..or Sligo v Fingal.

[Rovers1]

hopefully Fingal V Sligo, easier for some, havent been in Morton since the Dub City days.

Stu, the nerds are ALWAYS right ;)

[sligoman]

hopefully Fingal V Sligo, easier for someOr Rovers Vs. Fingal...easier for more people than your suggestion.

[Rovers1]

Or Rovers Vs. Fingal...easier for more people than your suggestion.

[Rovers1]

[pineapple stu]

Any chance the nerds could fix it that the Rovers/Fingal game is on the 19th??:D

[pineapple stu]

Not after you doubted us, no.

Only yourself to blame...

Looks like we're for the Morton....

[sligoman]

Sligo Rovers v Sporting FingalWhy'd ya bother posting that up when you obviously didn't know it was right?:rolleyes:

[thesilverfox]

its an absolute joke how i get a text msg saying its at home and then read its away. the fai is a joke for even leaking the draw on club websites when it should be up on loi.ie as soon as the draw was made.

that being said i'll take fingal.

[blue til i die]

Why'd ya bother posting that up when you obviously didn't know it was right?:rolleyes:

i just copied and pasted it from the UCD wbsite actually.
they've changed it now though! :)

[sligoman]

i just copied and pasted it from the UCD wbsite actually.

[Rovers1]

:D Go on Shligoman, ya lunatic!!

[HarpoJoyce]

The UCD website has a long history of Errors, Omissions and Presumptions. Some of the imputter(s) on the site were perhaps trained up on Foot.ie in Accuracy and Accountability.


Which leaves Galway, Sligo, UCD and Fingal.

Is this another example of foot.iers giving everyone else a bad name in complaining about the FAI/LoI when the information is available?
