FAI Junior Cup 2005/06

[lim abroad]

Just about scraped through without playing well, how come nobody warned us about the hometown referee? Thought that was a thing of the past, embarrasing bias, in fairness even the Killarney lads were laughing at some of the outrageous decisions he made. Who else is in the last 32?
is barry flynn still playing for ye?

in fairness avenue had a cop from kilarney i think ref there game v tralee and i thought he was one of the best refs i've seen, for both sides. is there many of the portmarnock side that beat avenue in 97 semi still playing?

Also, what date are the 6th round games scheduled for ?

[tipp man]

The draw is on live next Sunday morning on 2FM's Sportsbag show between 10 and 11 am. That twit Robbie Irwin presents it.

[Dr Mad]

For Lim Abroad, yes Bar Flynn is still going strong and as keen as ever. He was excellent yesterday, gets better with age, Smith is begging the lad not to retire from the International Team.

Clifford I think we're talking the same ref, tall guy who's an Inspector in the Gards, did our match yesterday. Less said the better, just remembered the tax on my car is out! Re the team of 97 the only survivor is Craig Bolton (midfield) although most of the other lads are still involved with the club in some capacity and a few even still playing 2nd/3rd team. I seem to remember you had a lot of young lads that day, any survivors still in the team?

how's about austin hannon,dougie dolan and anto canavan?

there will be serious post mortems in the balla camp after their absymal performance last sunday.
pike were deserving winners.
balla management got it all wrong last sunday.
they persisted with a few players even though they were woefully off form.
they also took off a centre forward and replaced him with one when a defender should have been swapped.
these are basic manager errors !

2 r 3 retired but all more or less playing with social b team. (guy that missed the penalty was thrown off cliffs of moher)

[kingpin]

Just looking at the teams left, there's a lot of good teams left in it. Who do yee think are the favourites???

[C.T.F.C]

Just a slight correction on the last 32. Clonmel town beat Ballyboffey Utd 7-1.
Should have been double figures. Ignore them at your peril.:D

[tralee_dynamo]

Just looking at the teams left, there's a lot of good teams left in it. Who do yee think are the favourites???
I'd be surprised if the winners were not either Clonmel Town, Westport, Carrick or Pike Rvrs...

If I had to call the winner I would stick with my original prediction i.e. Clonmel Town

[irisheagle]

Impossible to pick a winner at present a lot of good teams still standing. The draw on Sunday and future draws are as important as the games themselves. Those getting home draws have a huge advantage particularly when the teams look so even. Should be some cracking games up coming.
The big four from Dublin are still standing also.

[tipp man]

It was great to see Clonmel Town beat Cobh Ramblers in the Munster Senior Cup last year, thought they would beat St. Michaels in the Munster Junior Cup final but it wasn't to be. From the results above Clonmel Town must be even stronger this year!

Clonmel are definately in with a genuine chance. I would be very surprised if the FAI Junior Cup champions 2005-2006 doesn't come from either Limerick (Fairview,Balla,Pike,Carew Park),South Tipp (St. Michaels, Clonmel Town) or Waterford (Waterford Crystal, Carrick United)
Tralee Dynamo, you posted this in September and now you are claiming that Clonmel Town were your original choice. Come on- your just messing. Its like predicting that either Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd or Liverpool will win the premiership. No one had mentioned Clonmel Town until i brought them up two pages into this thread. I bet your very very wise. Honest!

[headerball]

i think they winners may come from the following,

westport
killester
pike
carew
carrick
portmanock

outside bet
athenry

Who do predict tipp man, I know you obviously favour clonmel. Who else would be in yoour top three

Tipp man, they were one of my original 7/8 teams I tipped to win it at the start! In a competition of around 700+ teams, and where we are talking about junior football (not the premiership!), there are many potential winners of the competition.

For example, who would have bet on Westport to win the comp out last year?, bet if you had named your top 8 teams at the start of last years comp, you wouldn't have mentioned them???

This years competition is wide open - all eyes on the draw on Sunday, theres bound to be some cracking games!

[tipp man]

Who do predict tipp man, I know you obviously favour clonmel. Who else would be in yoour top three

I actually don't 'favour' anyone but my top three would be Clonmel Town, Carrick United and Carew providing they avoid each other. That would be quite a semi-final line up with perhaps Portmarnock or Westport?

[Van The Man]

I can see Westport regaining the Title, they found if very hard in the last round and were very lucky to come through.

Clonmel Town seem to look good this year in TSDL. 9 P 9 W.....could very much be one to watch.

Yes but Corrib Rangers is one of the best team in Galway at present. Westport are still there Van the Man, will take a good team to beat them. Carew Park is another team to watch.

[l.f.c......]

i can see it now lads carew park v westport its in the stars the ywould want to put a over 18s sign on the gate :D

[soccerc]

Just looking at the teams left, there's a lot of good teams left in it. Who do yee think are the favourites???
Apart from the obvious favs and having seen 2 games per round in the Dublin area Iwould not discount Corduff, Dublin Bus or even previous winners Neilstown Rangers who still to overcome Shangan in the 5th as outside bets. It all depends on the draw at this stage of the competition. Over the years a number of favs have departed to one of the otehr favs in this round leaving the way open for the weaker sides and I include a few of of Fairviews wins in that.

[lim abroad]

which ones?

[texas ranger]

killester portmarnock and ballymun will take some beaten, from someone who watched the killester v westport game last year any of the dublin teams would fancy taking them on, clonmel town great win in the last round and seem to be doing great but serioulsy how strong is the tipp league, all this talk of limerick teams and wateford teams, the fact is there are 8 teams from the AUL still left in the draw, so a 1/4 of the teams are coming from one league organisation. add to that another 4 teams also coming from Dublin..... Great chance for the trophy to come back Dublin and the aul.

[gnasher]

It must be years since there were that many teams from the AUL left at this stage, it spices up the draw even more. Tuning in to 2fm on a sunday is not something i'd normally do but this is a very eagerly awaited draw, let's wait and see who gets who.

We in the 'port would love an away game and we don't fear any team at this stage. There's only good teams left so you have to get on with it. Experience may count for a lot in the later rounds and most teams left have that 'pressure cooker' game experience so it'll be some weekend of matches.

When are the next set of ties scheduled to be played?

im nearly sure there on the wkend of January 21st and 22nd

[cupsgalore]

dont rule out tralee dynamos. goin thru a transition period at min but have signed quality goalkeeper, two former league of ireland players and also have four sixteen yr olds in squad with also half last years team currently out injured.

[Thunderblaster]

i can see it now lads carew park v westport its in the stars the ywould want to put a over 18s sign on the gate :D

I'm sure that the bouncers will be looking for identification and all punters must wear trousers, shoes and shirt. Sounds like a brilliant nightclub. Are there going to be strippers or lapdancers at this event??:D

how can u predict the draw. is it not an open draw now.

also just to mention Arrow Harps. we've done exceptionally well so far in this competition and we'd fancy anyone at home on our day. we'll be back in the top tier in sligo next season and it's excellent to have gone on a long run in this comp. G'luck to all teams in the next round. roll on sunday.

[Thunderblaster]

Of course it is an open draw, but I didn't run to the bookies to place €50 on it.:D
