FAI Cup games

[RathfarnhamHoop]

Semi finals are penciled in for the weekend ending the 29th I think, Bohs are going to be hard pressed to find a date before then, the Monday the 15th will probably be it, can't see Crumlin being happy about playing on a Monday night though

[marinobohs]

Are Bohs really likely to move the Crumlin game with two players missing? And how does this all fit with the Scottish Challenge Cup thingy, which is due to be played that weekend too?

Postpone CRUMLIN match (due to U21 game ) and we are free to play in Scotland. Sorted.

Lots of confusion about the FAI Cup and Wafer Cup. Have the FAI really given priority to the lower leagues cup of another association over their own main cup competition?

Once again, Bohs have two players in the U21 squad so our game V Crumlin can be called off irrespective of the Scottish thing. I am pretty sure we will play in Scotland without the two players on International duty so that can go ahead as well on the announced date.

No idea RE Waterford game, but the FAI 'pushed' clubs to enter the Scottish competition so may seek to facilitate it, especially after last years debacle and given Dundalk have been facilitated left, right and centre over fixtures the FAI may expect them to work with it.

But it is the FAI, so who knows for certain ?

Talk that FAI tryna force Galway to play Saturday V Rovers, to increase crowd at U-21 game Friday.

You couldnt make it up if you tried

I understand the u21 rule, I'd have thought it was in Bohs' interests to play as scheduled, even down two players, but that's a matter of opinion of course. Maybe they'll do like they did against Dundalk and decline to play when down two players and instead change 7/8 players for a midweek game.
The Waterford situation is completely bananas. Obviously Dundalk have been well looked after in terms of Euro games, but there's a smidgeon of a difference between the Champions League/Europa League and a game against Motherwell U21s.

There were plenty of calls to respect the League Cup (our own one) also and to have it played in a fitting ground. This is a situation in the main of the FAI's doing. But Bohs would be getting a fixture cancelled as is their right with call-ups only to play a fixture, have I got that right? I can see why the FAI would not want to lose face after last year with agreeing to be in the Scottish competition in the first place but i'd have thought that Bohs wouldnt care that much when they are most likely to progress in the FAI Cup, and have the possible shot at an actual cup 'final' v Rovers in subsequent round. If Bohs get to pull a cup game to play a cup game from another country and beat Crumlin in the refixture there then they are flipping looking annointed for this years cup! It would also technically be Bohs being well facilitated by the FAI if they can play a game the night of or weekend of evoking rules to cancel a game. Just play the U19s v Crumlin - they were damn good v Dundalk...

I'm loving you taking one persons opinion and twisting it around to suit your own wee agenda.
I s'pose it's the only sighting of "europe" :D yous will see for a LONG while so take it while its hot chips

SeanD is right of course but with the FAI currently firefighting several different blazes atm it open season for any club to walk then in to the ground.
****ing Airdrie - sellouts

Fixtures announced were by the FAI not Bohs so we are not picking or choosing anything.The FAI requested clubs enter the Scottish competition (no reason why, but probably some politics involved somewhere) and may feel under some obligation to facilitate it and as such are moving around fixtures. If Waterford and Dundalk both want to go ahead that weekend couldn't Waterford play an U19s team in SLC game ?

Imagine how much worse it would be if they scheduled the FAI Cup game that weekend forced Bohs to reschedule the SLC tie only to have Bohs then seek a postponement due to U21 game (as they are entitled to) :D

So generally you agree with me!?

just confirming (for once :D) you got something right. It will probably come as a shock to most on here. what seldom happens !:cool:

[RathfarnhamHoop]

And the Dundalk defence mechanism kicks in yet again.

Your "points", I'll use quotations because it's a very generous term for what you're saying, are getting more and more ridiculous by the post.

P.S. We do know the long play on this because it's not the first time he has "owned" 50% of the club. Again go educate yourself before you make even more of a fool of yourself.

[D24Saint]

Any word on the venue for Crumlin v Bohs.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

When's the semi final draw?

[marinobohs]

Any word on the venue for Crumlin v Bohs.
To be confirmed this week. Still most likely to be Richmond I believe.

[Real ale Madrid]

Lads - seriously - moderation is a pain - please keep it civil and on topic. Thanks.

[RathfarnhamHoop]

Anyone know why RTE decided to put their camera in the main stand instead of in the perfectly good TV gantry? Makes it feel very amateur and not like its the quarter finals of the country's premier Cup competition. Your one still at her fake live commentary too I see, sounds like she's holding a smoke in her mouth too, dreadful stuff.

[oriel]

Pity no streaming links were available for our cup match last night, would have loved to have seen that, especially the hatrick by Dan Kelly in just over half an hour.

Read later this is Dundalk’s 6th semi final appearance in 7 years, and 5th in a row.

SF prediction draw, with us at home for the first time this season in the fai cup !

DFC v Sligo

Rovers v Bohs (assuming they beat Crumlin of course)

SDCC closed it off from them due to misbehaviour the last time they were there!

[placid casual]

My predictions for the semi final.
Rovers Vs Dundalk- dalk to go through after replay in oriel
Bohs Vs Sligo- Sligo to go through.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Draw on Morning Ireland after 8.30 news on Thursday morning

[ToberonaTornado]

legit argument or not?(i don't follow Junior club football so idk)
Apparently the FAI reckon Bohs will be taking 2000 fans to this match,the Crumlin manager says not going to happen and lucky if 1000 is the overall attendance.
Meanwhile the security bill is €8k - €12k.


Martin Loughran, manager of Crumlin United, talks to STRIKERONLINE about the mounting logistical and financial problems facing the club as they look to host Bohemian FC in the quarter-final of the EXTRA.ie Cup which is down for decision on Monday, September 16.

Great to hear that there was someone from the FAI to make sure the draw was conducted correctly.

Rovers and Dundalk kept apart.

Both away though, Toughest draw Dundalk could have got. Another all Rovers final on the cards.FAI wouldn't be too upset by that.

[marinobohs]

Home draw and avoided Dundalk (until the final 😁). Happy enough with that as long as we do the business against Crumlin !!

[sbgawa]

Switch the bohs Rovers match to the Aviva to accommodate the crowd :)

Obviously will go head in Dalymount but real shame that a match that could possibly draw 10k will be so restricted.
I know that is assuming Bohs beat Crumlin but whatever slim chance Crumlin had if they played at home is surely gone with the game now in Inchicore

Nah, we are happy to wait until the final to play in the Aviva 😁
Wouldn’t rule out Crumlin, a very decent side and given our poor form V Shels and Longford I wouldn’t take anything for granted. Would hope we are too strong for them but need to have 100% focus.

[placid casual]

I'm sure the fact that boez are playing their cup final in the semi final will focus their minds.

[Straightstory]

Dundalk v Shamrock Rovers final? Tasty.

Nightmare TBH

Will have to be segregation (proper segregation)

Pubs around Aviva will be mayhem.

Every scumbag from both areas will be out for it!

Yes Bradser 1 win in 9 😁 soon to be 1 win in 10.

So, for the 5th time this season you are claiming this is our cup final. Your obsession is getting out of hand pal.

Don't count Bucko out just yet.

It's a shame Bohs have let Dalymount become what it has, could have easily got 10-15,000 at that game.

Or you could take an accurate number and say 5 in 14 bit whatever makes you feel like the big club

That's the kind of potential attendance figure I have in my head too if there were no restrictions. It is disappointing to have less than 4k at it but the possibility of a temporary stand has been mooted so often at this stage that it seems an impossibility. Connaught Street stand and Phibsboro end can't be fixed and there would be access issues to any temporary stand in car the park.

1 win in last 9 is factually 100% right.
Hardly my fault you can't face facts 😁 maybe a smudged photo of all your other wins in last 9 ?

I never said correct I said accurate. Theres a difference. Not that I'd expect you to understand that.

Because you're discounting derbies from before Bohs went on their run which by definition isn't a fair sample size to use. I'm not going to get into this with you because there's no point since you have the mental capacity of a toddler

So it IS accurate AND right 😁 you just don't like the FACT.
Glad you have seen the light, helps when posting if you don't deny facts. But then a "genius" like you must know that. Or not.

No just sick of the back and forth nonsense that adds absolutely nothing to the discussion about the topic... Dundalk fans as guilty as any other teams fans but you pair in particular seem to have unrelenting erections for bickering over every word in every post in excruciating detail until the thread is basically dead. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way.

But keep posting the way you are and this thread will be closed like another like it - I've already had to delete claptrap from it so take this as the last warning.
