FAI Junior Cup 2011/12

[southern kid]

does anyone know when cup starts? pike to win again but janesboro could go close with clarke up front.

[balls]

tramore from waterford for me this year. saint kevins or sheriff yc from dublin my other tips.

[allab]

a team from dublin called landan i think? meant to be strong

Any team that beats Shelbourne deserves respect. Every team they play now will know what to expect of them.

[francescoli]

MOD EDIT,francescoli,this thread is specifically about the FAI Junior Cup and I don't want it diverted onto a subject that has been done to death on foot.ie over the years.

12 th man.

[Second]

12th man I think he was referring that sherriff beat shels (top of loi div 1 )last weekend so therefore must have a great chance to win junior fai ...

[buddygeary23]

Pike rovers trophy again this year me thinks

[the 12 th man]

Second,the post I edited belonging to him had nothing to do with Sheriff beating Shels,thanks anyhow.

[mrman]

I think the Boro will do it, they seem to be matching Pike on and off the pitch, I think they will get another few signings before the deadline. great contenders for the fai this season.

[Damnunited]

pike or st. kevins to win it out,,two teams who will be going all out to win this trophy

[theboywonder8]

Lads fai is a bit away,it's a bit early to be naming contenders.what happens if boro draw pike,one of them gone already like what happened the view last year.pike still have a stronger panel than boro,IMO

[swinfordfc]

When's the draw?

[nononsense]

When's the draw?
The first round draw will be made next Saturday and first round games are scheduled for week-end of 17/18 September.

[Aanother]

From talking to Pike players after they beat Sherrif last year, they admitted they were extremely lucky to go through and that they were by far 2nd best on the day. Sherrif for me!!

Boro wont win the FAI thats for sure, unless they get a proper manager and thats still
pushing it

the boro will never compete with pike imo.if its to be a limerick team to win fai than its definetly pike.

boro have put together a good side but you will have to wait and see when they play pike to say if they are matching them on the field.

[sexyfootball]

Anybody think Saint Michaels?

[hotspur]

No st michaels fall short in finals.

[fifty50]

like the munster junior this year???

[deadly man]

No st michaels fall short in finals.

haha guys like you can only dream of playing with a club like St.Michaels,there only MJC champions

[White Lines]

Outside of clubs that can't afford to buy an FAI, Avenue United in Clare should go well.

No chance

Whats wrong with him saying they'll go well,, they did last year.

[Second]

I think avenue will do well this season with a few new signings ... But don't think they will win fai. munster more realistic ...

[hotspur]

Whats wrong with him saying they'll go well,, they did last year.

I didnt say there was anything wrong with him saying they'll go well, i just said no chance and i dont think they have a chance.

[the lobster]

a chance of what?, if you don't think they have a chance of going well.
they did well last year, just beaten 1 nil to finalist.

[White Lines]

No chance

What do you base this on ?

What clubs bought an fai???

[prawnsandwich2]

What clubs bought an fai???

now now!! let's not go there

[deadly man]

now now!! let's not go there

He said clubs,exceptional teams win fai's and for any team to win it they deserve it no matter how they go about their business

[prawnsandwich2]

i know he said clubs.
and i don't agree with" no matter how they do their business"

[theboywonder8]

This is getting so boring it's unreal,will people just get over it.

only saw your pm now bud

[White Lines]

The FAI Junior Cup is tainted in my opinion, it is becoming more and more an elitist competition with clubs that have funds to intice players back from senior soccer to play in a junior competition. It's like having Kilkenny/Tipp Senior hurling teams turning up to play a junior club championship for a local team because someone can afford to foot the bill.

[hotspur]

What do you base this on ?

I base it on teams from clare are very poor when was the last time a clare team won the fai.

[Second]

And what teams from clare have you watched to say they are poor..

[Second]

As for the fai thing.. Look at the population of clare .. We simply don't have the pick to choose from.. In fairness they have done well enough last couple of years in Oscar traynor and are improving facilities every year ..

[booster 03]

And what teams from clare have you watched to say they are poor..


jaysus..does his opinion mean that much???

by the way.. i agree... no team from clare will win an fai this yr.. it'l be the same old suspects again come april/may

[tedd11]

pike rovers,sheriff,st michaels,st kevins,carrick utd. I think its hard to look past any of them 5 teams.they have the experience of grinding out wins in the latter stages of big competitions and having an experienced team who have been there before is a huge advantage

[bluepowers]

what time is the draw tomarrow lads for limerick section

[Tipp Top]

Lads does anyone know if the draw is on the radio tonight and if so which station,i believe the draw is in Tipp so maybe Tipp Fm?

posted above limerick section of fai draw. anyone got the tipp draw

[BoyBlue]

Any1 got Limerick Desmond/Clare/Kerry secion of the draw? Great draw in Limerick section looks like Pike will have to do it the hard way this season.

[Monkey]

Has anybody got the full draw by chance ??

[Dara3000]

You would have to wonder alright what they would be up to,although you would think it would be in their best interest to keep the big names apart and hope they progress to the later rounds and be representing the league?

Cant imagine Boro or Pike will be very happy with that draw.All the pressure will be on Pike though,wont want to be going out at the first hurdle to their main title challengers(League).
Should be a belter!

[southern kid]

can someone post full draw
