FAI Cup Draw

[Rovers Maniac]

Cork away, can't get home draws in this it seems.

[rovers100%]

cork city away for us in fai cup, a really tough draw for us

[Red&White Rover]

Chances are they won't be around...

[rovers100%]

lol would be awful for football but nice for us !!!

[sligoman]

Chances are they won't be around...They've been given a stay of execution til June 15th...the game is the 12th...we're out:(

[Rovers Maniac]

To be fair we had to go down and get a result before and we did, anyway maybe they would welcome a replay back in the showgrounds for an exrta few bob, we won't say anything if they don't :).

[red arrow]

i hate to see people saying that we are out already. anything can happen in the cup. we have a fighting chance. the two league games were very close this season. does anybody know if boco will be around for this game or will he be away on world cup duty?

[Rovers Maniac]

I think he is away in June alright.

[Knappagh Red]

Just after booking the flight from Dublin 19euro return, I think we can get a draw at least

[srfc1928]

Awful draw, but you you never know.
We beat Cork on the way to our last triumph ! (trying to looking for positives)

[Only1Rovers]

That's positive thinking Knappagh.....

[Rovers1]

They've been given a stay of execution til June 15th...the game is the 12th...we're out:(

Thats great!:rolleyes:

Not a great draw but its 11 V 11, no reason why we cant get a draw.

We better get our cut of the gate ..................

[brianw82]

I saw Cork last Friday and they were extremely impressive. Murray and O'Halloran gave very little away at the back. We'll have to be on the very top of our game to get a result.

[Rovers Maniac]

We went down with a scratch team a few weeks ago and came close to getting a point. Cork will do well to pay the revenue and their players so you don't know what the mood will be like by then in their camp, also there will be pressure on them to get a result.

[rovers100%]

it will be a tough game but isnt that the beauty of the fai cup anyone could win over 90 mins. we will be the underdogs but thats the way we like it. does anyone know when the draw for the league cup is gonna be ???

[Rovers1]

does anyone know when the draw for the league cup is gonna be ???

next week i think.

[sligored]

this will have to be broadcast live on tv- tie of the round

[SligoBrewer]

I have two words for you.

Drogheda United.

Do you remember what happened once the moral fell outta the arse of the camp?How many of those players are in Cork now?

Kind of hope not, TV games stops people from travelling, although with it being as far as Cork, doubt many will travel anyway.

€19 flight from Dublin return is'nt bad, although €44 or whatever the non-student price is for the train to DUblin, is quite off putting.

[prodsc]

Tough trip to TC..is there defo tv coverage of A game in this round??

AFAIK Boco is away for DERRY, CUP(Cork) AND BOHS games next month.

[The Midget Gem]

Probably couldn't have got worse luck. A trip all the way down to Cork. I just knew the way the draw was going we'd get a hard one. It was the same last year... i remember loads of non-league teams were left and it was us and Shams also still in the pot, and wouldn't you guess right guess who we drew, same as tonight!

Can't see past a Cork win. Honestly i cant see us going down there and getting a result.:mad: Pity

[Rovers1]

Jesus W Christ, whats with the negativity here?? Not singling out anyone btw.

Remember when we went to Derry? How did that finish? Everyone (including myself) thought we'd get beat, some here thought it would be a trouncing.

Have a bit of ****ing belief!

[celticV3]

Wexford youths beat cork in a cup already this season, not till the final whistle is it over.

Plus there's a chance they won't be around for the next round, so we might get through by default:D

[Martinho II]

when was the last time cork city and sligo rovers met in the cup lads?

[Rovers1]

when was the last time cork city and sligo rovers met in the cup lads?

2005 iirc. Cork 2-1 Rovers. Kupuno Low penalty put us 1 up. I think.

[SligoBrewer]

2005 iirc. Cork 2-1 Rovers. Kupuno Low penalty put us 1 up. I think.

Did he not bundle it in?

Twas on TG4 I remember.

[Rovers fan]

O ya remember that now. One of their goals came from a corner (their first iirc). I was particularly annoyed because the ball wasn't inside the corner circle thingy:mad:

[Rovers1]

Fairly sure it was a penalty:confused:

Given its mostly the same team who won the Setanta CUp under worse circumstances last year I think we'l be fine. This has been going on for a while now, as well as problems with wages earlier in the season, and were still top by 3 points.

The lads down here have been exemplary in their behaviour both this year and last and I can't see Faz and Connor making a dent in that.

There's no comparison between the reactions of both sets of players.

Fairly sure it was a penalty:confused:It was 3-1 and Low's goal was a shot, not a penalty.

??????????????????????

[nechayev]

cork? will we be taking a bus down? i'd be up for it....

DIMITRI

ps: wot's with the web site - i seem to have lost the "results / fixtures" section? thought it was a mac issue but 'tis the same on the work PC!

also "firefox" keeps trying to report the site as an "attack" site & close it down - you have to over-ride security to open it!

any ideas?

That's the one:)

[Rovers1]

It was 3-1 and Low's goal was a shot, not a penalty.

Are you sure now!?

[Boo_Boy]

Tapped in at the back post after the keeper saved a shot from another Rovers player ;), then Low got sent off in the 2nd half :(.

[micls]

??????????????????????

What part of it didnt you understand?
