EA Sports Cup 2013

[NeverFeltBetter]

Limerick win 4-2. Phew.

[Fester]

Derry win 6-5 on penos

[Terry]

Salthill were robbed tonight, definitely a case of the best team losing.

[Town Legend]

Is it just a case of the FD teams fielding weaker sides then?

Considering it was a case of playing our fringe players with a tough game against Mervue away on fri I wasn't expecting to win that game so it would be one of the reasons why we were beaten along with playing sh*te and also taking the league more serious than the EA cup.

Salthill were robbed tonight, definitely a case of the best team losing.

I know the feeling. We went with only 3 of the side that played Mervue on Fri night and still battered Derry who went with as strong a side as they could.

[SkStu]

Bohs beat Bray 4-2 aet.

[nigel-harps1954]

Disappointing on the night to lose to Derry after we deserved to win, but won't lose much sleep over it. The league is priority.

Everyone knows the league cup is all Derry care about anyway.

Think if you look at winners of FAI Cup Nigel you'll see a different story. How long is the beaten run gone on for now against Derry ????:goat:

[NeverFeltBetter]

Saw it on Twitter somewhere, nine teams left are top nine of league.

[brendy_éire]

Happy enough with that draw myself.
We've had a great record in Dalymount recently, won 4-0 earlier there back in April.

Fixtures to be played on 1st July, which means we've Bohs in the Brandy on the Friday, and away on the Monday.

Rovers-Pats would have to be the stand-out tie from the round.

[ger121]

Some tasty ties there

[Charlie Darwin]

There's not a bad tie there at all.

[KUFCMan]

With 5 of the teams in the quarters playing in Europe when will these ties take place.
I think they were provisionally down for JUly 1st.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Limerick / Rovers is on Monday evening

[bullit]

If you missed it here is the draw;

Derry City v Drogheda United.

St. Pat's/Shamrock Rovers v Sligo Rovers.

[dejadem]

Semi-Final FT


Derry City 1 - 3 Drogheda United

[White Horse]

Final in Tallaght apparently. It's very unfair on clubs playing Shamrock Rovers to have to play finals in Tallaght.

This is the second final this year where Drogheda have to play Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght.

It is the logical decision but it is also unfair.

[Charlie Darwin]

It's done by a draw unless it's changed in the last couple of years. Sligo had the same advantage when they hosted Monaghan.

Maybe they should play it in Oriel Park?

[Charlie Darwin]

Maybe they should play it in Oriel Park?
Typical Drogs. They probably requested it be played in Tallaght just to spite Dundalk.

[White Horse]

Maybe they should play it in Oriel Park?

Not if they are playing Shamrock Rovers. We have our fences to think about.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

When's the last time the league cup final was played at a neutral ground?

It's hardly Shams fault Droghedas ground isn't up to scratch

[Dunny]

Maybe they should play it in Oriel Park?

Nah. They can have their boycott :)

[patrickccfc]

I think they should of played it at Tolka. Would be good to have it at a neutral ground. Am i correct in saying this is rovers 4th home final in tallaght?(2 Setanta finals, 2 league cup finals)

[Charlie Darwin]

I think they should of played it at Tolka.
Clearly you haven't been recently.

[patrickccfc]

Clearly you haven't been recently.
Not this season, but last. Maybe not the best place to have it but still for a final its ideal for it to be neutral.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Tolka is a total dump. Finals should be played in decent stadia.
