League Cup semis

[pineapple stu]

Anyone any idea when they're down to be played? I'd check the FAI website, only, well... :p :rolleyes:

[Poor Student]

8th/9th of August according to fai.ie. :D I reckon that's probably true though. Wonder when the draw will be.

[EnDai]

10th of August! :D

10th of August! :D
:D

Sure do yez want an aul knock around in Tolka and we'll call that the semi*? ;)



* - but only if we win!

[EnDai]

How about a 1-1 draw? :D Hang on a second...

Im praying we dont get you lot, not because of your team but i dont want to visit that crappy ground again soon :D

[pete]

Draw will be:

Shelbourne v UCD
Derry v Longford

[Xlex]

Draw will be....

Longford - Shelbourne
UCD - Derry

[EnDai]

Whatever happens, I think Shels will finally get drawn away from home. Lol. :D

[Roo69]

Draw will be:

Shelbourne v UCD
Derry v Longford


So a College Vs Longford final

[Peadar]

Derry v Shels
UCD v 5-5-0

[patsh]

Nah, they will keep Derry away from $hel$, they want another final where $hel$ get beaten 2 - 0 by a team from the North.............:p




(purely geographical post here, nothing to do with politics..;) )

[patsh]

Hoorah Longford.
You managed to win one, draw one and lose one to us this season.
INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENT.
WELL DONE!
:D

(and btw, we've have already beaten $hel$ 2 - 0 up at tolka this season)

[Poor Student]

Anyone know if the draw is today? I don't even know who I'd want. Shels have the quality to beat anyone as long as they click, Derry are strong this year and Longford, well it's Londford in the cup!

Are we the only team left not putting out a full-strength team?

[Poor Student]

Are we the only team left not putting out a full-strength team?

I'm assuming though Mahon will send out 10 first teamers and Whitmarsh in the semis?

[patsh]

Those two points dropped by the rebels cois Laoi :rolleyes: will come back to haunt ye in the Autumn.
and the 29 point you lot dropped to us over the last few seasons come back to haunt you every autumn.........:D

But hey, lets give credit where it's due. Well done, plucky little Longford, on scoring one goal in over 200 minutes of football, a truly fantastic achievement.....:p

[pineapple stu]

Wouldn't say so. Similar team to the Waterford game. Blooding the next batch of youngsters is probably more important than winning the tournament. And hey, they've already knocked out two Premier teams' first XIs! :p

[Poor Student]

Given the fact if we win the League Cup that will ensure the FAI don't give the competition a Setanta place I suppose it's not that important. :p

Any figure on the prize money for winning the semis and actually winning the final itself?

[pineapple stu]

E15k first prize; E7k for the runner-up.

[MariborKev]

Are we the only team left not putting out a full-strength team?

We only had three of the team that started against Shels in the starting eleven last night

[Dee75]

Are we the only team left not putting out a full-strength team?

Derry only started 3 players that started against Shels on Friday ;)

[Poor Student]

E15k first prize; E7k for the runner-up.

How does the money work? Was the €2.5k for Monday a prize for winning the tie or guaranteed money for losing in the semis? So would there be money on top of the €2.5k for winning on Monday for winning the semis which is also seperate to the prize for the final?

I think it's €2.5k guaranteed for reaching the semis which will be upped to €7k if we get to the final, not €9.5k.
