FAI Cup draw

[pateen]

Does anyone know if there is a thread for the FAI cup.
I assume there is one somewhere.
Anybody know when the 2nd round draw takes place? :confused:

[Dodge]

Think its 31st May

There's no thread in the LOI section. Think there's one in the Junior section

No real point in one until we find out who plays who

[Comic Book Guy]

Does anyone know when this is going to happen? Cup weekend is 17th or 18th June so I guess it would have to be soon?

[Magicme]

Yeah the draw is on while we play Dundalk so no1 from Mons will be able to attend.

[holidaysong]

I can't believe they have the draw on at the same time as a league game!

[Magicme]

I hope our clubs dont get in trouble for having no one there!

[holidaysong]

It was probably done to make sure Maxi will be in Oriel and not at the draw...

[Mr A]

Is he still a steward?

[sligoman]

Is he still a steward?Fire safety officer wasn't he?

[iceman]

Is he still a steward?
Dont think he is a steward anymore but they held a fundraiser in the club bar for him to help pay his bail/fines/compensation etc. so it seems that the club support his actions.

[Raheny Red]

Read on the Irish Tifo forum that he still goes to the game and even signs autographs. In saying that it could be a pish take :o

[Sniffer]

Details of the draw are here (http://www.walkthechalk.com/content.php?show=eircom_fai_cup)

[sligoman]

I fancy a nice trip north to Fanad.

his friends organised it at the club bar without the club knowing what it was for.

The rest of the town knew what it was for, so the club knew as well despite what they'll say

[Terry]

how is the draw on at 5:30 and being broadcast live on the 6 o'clock news????

[DmanDmythDledge]

Probably recorded and shown 'as live'.

[brendy_éire]

It said members of the media should be in attendance by 5.30, just to get everything ready I assume. The draw will still be live on the 6.01 news.

[passinginterest]

And the excitement starts to build. Who do you want to draw?

Personally I'd love to see Wexford drawn away to Pats or Bohs. Potential annihilation but would be a fantastic experience and atmosphere. Plus it would be nice and handy for the Dublin based Wexford crowd.

Bring it on!

[jebus]

Home draw is all we want really, that said I'd love for us to draw Cork for some reason and we want to avoid bringing Rovers down incase some of the unwanted Rovers and Limerick 'fans' decide to make an appearance for the game

Trust me we feel the same way, Limerick is the last place i hope to have to travel to for a game for the forseeable future! Closely followed by Dundalk!

A home tie against anyone for us, preferably aganst someone who may actually bring a travelling support, for financial & atmospheric reason!!

Koh

[Jerry The Saint]

Shels please! Home or Away, don't mind.

[Dodge]

Any game that won't be played on the Friday night for me

Shels would be ggggreeeeaaattt!

[The Lilywhites]

Galway please!

[Schumi]

Anyone **** at home or an away game on a Saturday.

[Raheny Red]

I reckon we'll get Drogs or Pats away, hoping for a crap below us so we can do something decent in this cup for once :p

Home to no-hopers, sorry non-leaguers, as it provides a good chance for a 5-6+ goalfest. Good warm up for playing the harder sides later on.

[Dazzy]

Finn Harps home or away.

[Rory H]

Finn Harps home or away.

we'd like that too ....wouldnt mind some revenge!

[sligoman]

we'd like that too ....wouldnt mind some revenge!Maybe you'd want Harps. I'd be happy with a non-league team...the only team we might actually beat this season:o.

[Rory H]

sure wouldnt cork we grand either:p

[Monkfish]

Galway or Shamrock Rovers at the 'Jacks' please!

[Battery Rover]

Preferably a home tie but if we get drawn away a team that plays on a Saturday would be nice

[brendy_éire]

Shels in Tolka. Again.

[Gaillimh Al]

Games of note

[DmanDmythDledge]

Drogs vs Bohs by far tie of the round. Finn Harps have the best chance of an upset.

Do Salthill only have U-21 players?

[pineapple stu]

Draw here (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=62138).

[GavinZac]

Damn it, another trip to bloody tolka. Would've been nice to laugh at the down and outs at TC.

Douglas Hall v Ramblers - very suspect! :D Should get a nice crowd at TC for them.

[Gaillimh Al]

Salthill's Junior side qualified for the 2nd round of the FAI by beating Avondale(recent winners of Intermediate Cup for 2nd year running) in first round. Finished 3rd in local league after last day dramatic climax when the title could have been theirs. A good mix of good young players from the U-21 side and players with League of Ireland experience. Don't think they'll beat UCD but will put up a good account of themselves.

[jebus]

After Tuesday nght I'm happy with getting Wexford at home anyway :)

[Battery Rover]

Preferably a home tie but if we get drawn away a team that plays on a Saturday would be nice

I couldn't have been more wrong.

Now to try and get from Limerick to Dundalk and back on a Thursday night. FFS

Sympathies Battery Rover, I was dreading getting Dundalk away because of similiar reasons

[BohsFans]

What's the craic with United Park? Still only holds 1,500?:confused:

No that has been increased. Additional barriers/walkways and exits now in place. Sanction lifted.
