FAI Ford Cup Third Round

[Longfordian]

Very sorry about that.. if it's any consolation (ahem) I won money on 0 or 1 goals, under 2.5 goals, draw at half time and also Longford to get through, which was in a double with Cork +1. Thanking yew Paddy Power.

Here are the ShelsTV.com exclusive highlights of Greystones AFC v Shelbourne, from the Carlisle Grounds.

And, we don't give managers close ups and miss action (like red cards).

And, we don't give managers close ups and miss action (like red cards).
In fairness that wasn't a bad show last night: they showed a lot of league and cup matches and left the international highlights till the end (they went off air for that, though; no loss).
You seem to have a camera with better picture quality than the national broadcaster!

Have a look at the penalty that was given against us (incidentally 2 mins after the ref told one of our players "hurry up one of ye and score to f*ck, I want to get home without extratime")

[Cuyahoga]

FOURTH ROUND DRAW TOMORROW ON MNS. tHIS IS WHERE A BIT OF LUCK COMES IN. THERE SHOULD BE A FEW ALL PREMIER DIVISION. A HOME DRAW AGAINST A NON LEAGUE SIDE WITH AN INJURY CRISIS IS WHAT MOST FANS WILL BE HOPING FOR!!

Hard to see from that video - the incident happens just as it comes into view - did they jump together, or did the Harps player jump into him?

[Straightstory]

I'd be very surprised if Drogheda don't draw Bohs in the next round.

[Cuyahoga]

Yeah,but will that be home or away?

[Rasputin]

Cork/Limerick away please.

[Jofspring]

Cork/Limerick away please.

Change of scene from travelling to Dublin I take it.


I would take a possible big gate away from home and wouldn't mind if we where knocked out. If we continue in the cup it will be a bonus for us but with the mounting injuries we have, less matches could be a good thing.

Wouldn't mind

Away:
Shamrock Rovers
Sligo
St.Pats
Bohs
Dundalk

Exactly.

[Dodge]

We haven't played Sligo ina cup in a little while. Must be due...

[GCdfc]

Anyone know for sure about this and anyone got the full list of teams in the draw?

It's in your sig!

[shep]

Drogheda at home please

[outspoken]

Will take a crowd puller ie. the Two Rovers, St.Pat's, Bohs at home if not then I'd gladly take Drogheda or Galway at home if not then someone like Sheyrif would be fine :)

[Rasputin]

Was the last time the season we got promoted, off the top of my head, 3-2 to us and an absolute cracker of a game?
Must have been 5 or 6 years ago?

One of the goals.

Think Darragh Maguire was sent off?

[sligoman]

Hoping for Limerick or Longford away or non-league at home.

If only.... :(

Why us?

I don't really think anyones too sure what happened. Not least Packie Mailey. You just have to see the shock from him in the video when the penalty was given. Quite simply the player ran into him and fell to the ground.

That ref is awful - wonder does he get many games? He shouldnt be let near a pitch

[sligoman]

Why us?Been a good while since we played ye, been to Hogan Park but not where ye are now so another ground to tick off the list. Also, an away day in Limerick will make a change from the usual trips to Dublin/Derry & Galway etc.

Oh, and possibly another chance to shout abuse at Joe Gamble ;)

Fair enough just a bit strange for people to actually want to come to Jackman.

[pineapple stu]

Be happy avoiding the non-leaguers this time actually, seeing as how Wayside nearly ended our great record against non-leaguers.

Not holding out much hope of Doolin doing us a favour though... :mad:

[pineapple stu]

Away to Rovers. Few quid will be appreciated in this of all seasons!

No chance of winning at all at all.

[pineapple stu]

Full draw -
Rovers v UCD
Waterford v Pats
Bray v Limerick
Longford v Bohs
Wexford v Cork
Sligo v Monaghan
Sherriff v Shels
Drogheda v Dundalk

[WindmillWarrior]

Tasty! When are the games to be played anyone? Didn't hear it mentioned on MNS.

[pineapple stu]

September time. Think it's early enough in the month?

[Longfordian]

Weekend of the 28th August apparently

[bluewhitearmy]

Probably not what most Limerick fans will have wanted but im looking forward to a trip to Bray.

[Charlie Darwin]

Not if the crowd is as absymal as it was for Athlone. Pleased with the draw though.

[Jofspring]

Match is ages away and the league table will have really taken shape at that stage so it won't be till nearer whether we know if its a game to look forward to. Probably better having this away though as there is a good chance Bray will draw a bigger crowd for this than us.

[pineapple stu]

True. But still, if it's a thousand at it, that's bigger than most other draws (given how much gates drop for Cup games) with bugger all travel costs.

Looking forward to our goal already. :)

Rovers v UCD
Waterford v Pats
Bray v Limerick
Longford v Bohs
Wexford v Cork
Sligo v Monaghan
Sherriff v Shels
Drogheda v Dundalk

I visualised that today...had a sneaky feeling. Come on lads.

[sligoman]

Happy with that, Roddy in the Showgies will be great. Defeated Mons in two cups last year, good omen.

[nigel-harps1954]

I've said that about 3 or 4 first division refs this season.

[redobit]

Think Roddy will be a different proposition to Cooke lino. They are doing well and will be out for revenge after last season.

[GalwayRed]

I'm happy with our draw. We have a good chance of making the quarter final now so hopefully we can put in a good performance and get past Sheriff. They will be well up for it though so we can't get complacent with it.

[Dunny]

Great, another trip to the kip

[Jofspring]

Just something small I noticed but did anybody else notice they said Waterford will be a tough game for Pats cause Waterford are on a good run at the moment. Something similar was said in an interview with Casso on extratime “I wouldn’t write off Monaghan either. They’ve had as good a start as us. Limerick, Waterford and Longford as well.”

Do these people actually look at league results at all.

Hey, c'mon now....give us some credit, we did beat New Ross Celtic 3-0. :cool:

I'm sure ye will actually give them a good game with a couple of returning faces too.

[PartySaint]

Potential Banana skin for us but happy enough with the draw
