Do the winners of the League Cup get a Setanta Cup place?

[dong]

Great result from the shogies!
Delighted. If we could stop giving away a soft goal in every game we might just win a cup this year. Top three in the league wouldn't be out of the question either. We're playing some great stuff at the moment. UCD game should be one for the purists.;)

[paudie]

Do the winners of the League Cup get a Setanta Cup place?

Pretty sure they do

[Schumi]

Pretty sure they doDamn it, now I have to hope Rovers or Dundalk win. :(

[sligoman]

Monaghan in the next round please :).

[dong]

Damn it, now I have to hope Rovers or Dundalk win. :(

Why would that be?

[Flexy]

Officials tonight again in the brandywell were awful, Hanney god almighty that guy wouldnt get a game referreeing and under 7 game, and his two assistants dont know why they are there, as hanney makes the decisions for them. At 1-0 we had a defo pen which he didnt give, but thats life his overall performance was shocking something must be done about, bring refs from somewere else. Well done rovers though, Derry had quite a few reserves on though and did very well

[dong]

Bit strange to play reserves in a big game like that?

[Schumi]

Why would that be?

I assume if the League Cup winners finish in the top 4 in the league, it means that 5th gets into the Setanta Cup too. I'm looking up the league rather than down this year!

[Bray-Z]

Bray 0 v 2 Bohs (league) Doyle 85'

Killian Brennan got Bohs' second.

[passerrby]

Monaghan in the next round please :).

much prefer one of the bigger clubs but would settle for sligo

[pauliek]

Shams at home please, leave Mons for the final

[Ciaran W]

Great win for us tonight :D

[avvenalaf]

Darling, it doesn't much matter who you get. You're fecked anyway.

[Rasputin]

What a performance by Ndo, Russell and Ryan in midfield yet again, ripped Pats to shreds consistantly and what beautifull football.
Pats were just awfull to watch, terrible brand of football tbh.
The only time they held any posession was a period in the second half when they wellied it up to that scumbag Williams every so often.
As for the referee, well the refereeing performance tonight was the worst ive seen in the showgies all season, he was just painfull to watch.
Consistantly giving soft free kicks to Pats and breaking up the play, some of the calls he made were comical not to mention the yellow card after the Pats goal.
But all in all things are looking up, 21 goals in the last 4 home games, I get the feeling the break is coming at the wrong time for us.

Now now, with the season we are havin in the LOI:)

Isn't it 6 in the Setanta next year?

Not something you hear every day! :eek:

[seand]

Anyone know when the draw for the semis is on?

[brendy_éire]

Bit strange to play reserves in a big game like that?

Kenny stated that he was more concerned with Athlone next week, than either of our games this week.
Personally, I couldn't care less if we lost both games this week 10-0, as long as we win 1-0 next week. It's all about promotion this year, and I don't think Kenny really cares about anything else.

On the match though, thought Rovers were less than impressive. They played well in the first stages of the second half, and scored their two goals, but seemed to stop trying after that and let us come into the game.

Pleased with the performance of our second-string side against what was basically Rovers' full team. It certainly didn't look like there was a league between us, going from the performance. Whilst, I don't mind that much that we lost, I can't help but think that if we'd put out even a slightly stronger side last night, we may have got something from the game.

And regarding Flexy's comments, aye, the ref, Hanney, was awful. Far, far too many frees given, we probably should have had a penalty and some horrible inconsistancy regarding the taking of free kicks. One example which really stuck out, we tried to take a quick free, but it was called back because it wasn't taken from the correct place, maybe 2m off. The free was taken, and we gave away a free from that ball. Rovers then took their free a good 6m from the spot of the foul and play was let go on.
I can handle poor referreeing decisions, we all get things wrong, but it's just the inconsistency that gets to me.

Rovers are starting play some of the best football I have ever seen them play.
An absolute joy. I wouldnt be too concerned about the break, its only a couple of weeks.

As for the referee last night, what a joke. He done his best to ruin the game.
The amount of free kicks and leniency towards pats was astonishing at times

[Lim till i die]

The ref is always a disgrace in the Brandywell when Derry don't get the result they want.

It's DISGRACEFUL.

[passerrby]

Darling, it doesn't much matter who you get. You're fecked anyway.

youd not be the first to make that mistake this season...love
p.s is fecked less painful than be f****d

[Magicme]

Dundalk home!!! Whooohooooo!! :D

[shep]

[blue til i die]

The draw for the semi finals of the 2010 EA SPORTS Cup is as follows:



Sligo Rovers v Shamrock Rovers Monday, 2nd August

[Magicme]

Indeedy Shep!! You get Mondogs after all! :D

[danthesaint]

hope Mons win the cup

[seand]

Good draw for Monaghan and Dundalk. Am I right in thinking this is Monaghan's first senior semi-final?

[Magicme]

A+ there Mr D. It is indeed, thats why we are so overly hyper today....ok by "we" I may mean me. Great that it will be against Dundalk coz those games are always a cracker.

[holidaysong]

Nice one, see you August 2nd Magicme!

[Candystripe]

Well done to the Mons.A very decent side and you never know what can happen in a cup game.A decent team,probably the best we've played in D1 this year.

As for the ref always being a disgrace in the brandywell when we don't win.They can also be a disgrace when we win as well!

Bring back the D1 refs. Last night was the 1st time that advantage was never allowed this season at any stage in the game when we had a free kick awarded.

Should be a huge crowd of us travelling over, more so as its on the bank hol, possibly the best draw crowd wise you could have hoped for.

Always enjoy the trips over, this should be a great occassion.

[sheao]

Would be great to see Monaghan win it. They play a nice brand of football and they were very impressive when they played City in the cross from what i recall back in April.
In cup football as we all know anything can happen

[Magicme]

Nice one, see you August 2nd Magicme!
