EA Sports League Cup 2011

[LFC-Zulu]

I'll take Cork, based on the fact that I think we'd have a decent crowd whether it would be home or away and that it's our easiest option; I want to get into the final.
I was in Tolka for the QF against Shels and I have to say, Shels second string outplayed a very decent Sligo team for almost 70 minutes. Based on that, I wouldn't say no to Sligo at home. I want to avoid Derry, please God.

Wexford Youths thrashed Derry in the FAI Cup so surely you should want them

[sheao]

Where did ya see that?

[Jofspring]

Pike fan was claiming a few weeks ago that Maher and Bobby Ryan where signing for Pike. Maher working in Limerick supposedly so he could be signing for us.

[sligoman]

When is the draw for the semi finals on does anybody know ?Meant to be July 11th on MNS.

[gael353]

roddys son played last night and he was cack, is he actually signed to ye?

[Dunny]

Meant to be July 11th on MNS.

Yep, July 11th according to MNS facebook

[Lim till i die]

For personal reasons Sligo away.

For purely practical reasons has to be Cork away or anyone at home (preferably Cork away)

This game will fall in the middle of Waterford away and Finn Harps away and could frankly be done without!

The thought of the lads travelling to Waterford Friday, Derry Tuesday, Harps Saturday is not a good one!

[Dodge]

I'm sure travelling in a private plane now makes it easier

[Monkfish]

Pike fan was claiming

Just stop there, no need to continue. :dazed:

[sullanefc]

Draw:

Cork City V Limerick
Derry City V Sligo Rovers

Good draw for City.

[Jofspring]

Yup happy with that too. Handy trip and Cork will get a bigger attendance on the gate than if we had it in Jackman.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Ah would you not give poor Cork City your cut of the gate as well now that ye're rolling in it

[Pablo Escobar]

Great draw for us tbf. Gamble and Behan to return in a hail of abuse. Let's roll back the years!

[Lim till i die]

Great draw for us tbf. Gamble and Behan to return in a hail of abuse. Let's roll back the years!

One of the boys involved in the club was excited for this very reason this eve!

Reckons the place will be jammed with Cork fans wanting to abuse them. :D

I'm not so optimistic myself but we can but hope. :)

[micls]

Best draw for both teams. Happy out. Can't see too much abuse for Joe, but Denis should get a fair bit. Given the amount of abuse he got while playing for us like!

[Charlie Darwin]

Good to see there'll be a First Division team in the final for, I think, the fourth year running?

[BonnieShels]

You say that with such disdain.

[razor]

[Charlie Darwin]

You say that with such disdain.
None at all.

[Martinho II]

yep its the fourth year in a row since the derry youths final in 08..

[BonnieShels]

None at all.

I want to say it sounded that way. I read it that way.

[sullanefc]

Bump.

Cork City V Limerick tonight. Come on city!!!!!!!!

[sligoman]

Hope Limerick win, would prefer to play them in final if we get there.

[brendy_éire]

Limerick 1 up after 16 minutes.

[micls]

1-1 Davin O Neill from the penalty spot.

Fingers crossed for another 4-1!......or 2-1 :D

[BonnieShels]

Come on Lims. Would like to see them him it to help galvanise the locals.

[Candystripe]

Hope Limerick win, would prefer to play them in final if we get there.

Hope Cork win,would prefer to play them in final if we get there ;)

[micls]

Crowd is 2079. Very good for a Monday game.

[BonnieShels]

Great crowd.

[nigel-harps1954]

Extra time to be played or replay?

[adamd164]

Extra time, tie must be decided on the night.

[micls]

Gone to ET. According to updates Danny Murphy cleared the ball 'heroically' off the line in the last minute

[nigel-harps1954]

Just saw this on futbol24.com Seems interesting. Was there any mention of the match on MNS?

[Fester]

Cork 2 - 1 up

[nigel-harps1954]

103' - Penalty - Penalty for Cork City again as Sullivan is rugby tackled by Brian McCarthy in an act of desperation. Vincent Escudé-Candau steps up to take it and he disaptaches it to the top right corner.

Jaysus..

[micls]

Another penalty. Rugby tackled when straight through apparently. Escaude Candau put it away.

Hold on!

[thomas72]

typicial retarded defending from limerick two pens givin away o well whats another year :(

[micls]

In fairness, they seemed under pressure, I'm not sure there was much of a choice. We hit the bar just before that too.

[Fester]

Cork 3 - 1 up now

[nigel-harps1954]

3-1!

118' - Goal - It's all over now, Limerick push forward and City break with Graham Cummins given acres of space to finish low to the left.

[A face]

Move along people there is nothing to see here now .... This one is in the bag !! ;)

[micls]

Get in there! Hopefully a final at the cross in front of a full house. Absolutely gutted not to be there, but bring on Sligo or Derry!

What a weekend!

[Fester]

All over now 3 - 1 AET

[adamd164]

ExtraTime saying we are hosting the final also in Turner's Cross. Didn't know it had been decided.

[El-Pietro]

absolutely gutted i wasnt there tonight, but delighted with the result and cant wait for the final!

We fear no one! Bring on Sligo or Derry

[juan]

Jesus almighty what a night. Cummins is some man. The man gives it his all no matter how hard the Limerick players try to rough him up. Danny Murphy is an absolute hero. Great clearance! I hope Lims keep Scully. Awful manager.
