FAI cup 3rd round.

In fairness with regards the televison coverage of the 3rd Round of the Cup - "You can keep some of the people happy some of the time but...."

What's this (http://www.tg4.ie/Bearla/Scei/scei.php?date=2007-08-17) all about?

Can anyone say for certain which match is being shown?

ha ha all the arguements, could be for nothing.

[The Lilywhites]

Monaghan and kilkenny are tricky teams- ask Dundalk and Limerick

Didn't Cobh fail to score in Athlone, Wexford and Kilkenny this season? :eek::rolleyes::D

[bellavistaman]

That what i said earlier,not acceptable, but their dirty 10 men behind ball teams, big difference between losing and drawing though,!!!

[sligoman]

Can anyone say for certain which match is being shown?TG4 have confirmed it's our game. Would much rather we played it in Bray though if ground swap available?;)

[Burny89]

nope, only 1 point

[kev mcq]

big difference between losing and drawing though, 2 points!!!

Really?:rolleyes::eek:

[bellavistaman]

nope, only 1 point

:o my bad :D

[corkharps]

Why the hell are live games shown, when most of the target audience are at games?????????????????????I think somebody needs to sit down and do the maths!

Needless to say Finn Park match should be on this weekend!:rolleyes:

[onephillyhughes]

Bellavista, did you beat Kilkenny? Harps did, 5-0, I've been told once or twice. Hand them the thing now!! :D

[Sam_Heggy]

Bellavista, did you beat Kilkenny? Harps did, 5-0, I've been told once or twice. Hand them the thing now!! :D

Now your talking :cool:
But we are ssoooooooooooo far behind Dundalk in the league that we'll NEVER catch them :D and the free flowing football Cobh play, well its a real joy to watch oh but they aint even in the cup.
in other words
BACK IN YOUR BOX.

[The Lilywhites]

but they're dirty 10 men behind ball teams

Just like Cobh on Sunday :p:D:D

[bellavistaman]

Just like Cobh on Sunday

I dont think we did, and john Gill siad we came to win it too. Everyone thought we'd go 4-5-1 but we didn't, didnt change the formation or team(without suspensions) from the Kilkenny game, hendo could have easily went 4-5-1 our bench had a striker, 2 midfielder, defender and keeper. So be a bit fair, we went out to win in but at times had to weather the storm and sit back, ye dominated little spells, all of which we overcame.

9 men behind the ball for second half :D.

We beat Kilkenny 4-1:p

[mcgonigle]

Everyone the kilkenny thing sounds so stupid now. Cobhs centre halfs were in our box more than their strikers but they got what they came for and a good result so far play its over now.
Finn Harps are not sooooooo far behind but still behind, you never know whats gonna happen, if we win all our remaining games you cant catch us, the same if cobh do neither of us can catch them, so the BACK IN YOUR BOX stuff makes you sound like a fool mate sorry

Agreed, too long to go for bragging just yet. What id give for the league to end now. :)

[sfc red]

This thread is gettting so boring now and should be binned. "We're going to win it. No, we're going to win it. No, we will. No, we will."

It's petty and boring.

All agreed yere winning nothing, :D. I do thin k ye'll have a massive say on where its ending up though.

Myself nd mcguiver just said anyone can winit yet, no need for back in your box talk nothing proved yet

[OneRedArmy]

This thread is gettting so boring now and should be binned. "We're going to win it. No, we're going to win it. No, we will. No, we will."

It's petty and boring.Particularly given the thread title is about the FAI Cup.

[onephillyhughes]

Aye, thats another thread murdered by bragging about beating Kilkenny and being on a good run :rolleyes:

As for the cup, I think tomorrow night will be a 1-1 draw between ourselves and UCD. Something we don't need, we're doing bad enough without the need for extra games!

[bellavistaman]

i reckon ye'll beat them. 1 nil.

[onephillyhughes]

Philly Hughes needs a goal. That chance against you on Sunday...last season, goal, this season, straight at the keeper. Hopefully we'll get another decent crowd up, not many have had better crowds this season, great to see, but we need to get back to winning ways quick.

Whats your likely line up for the Quarter Finals?

I'll go

Sligo
Bohs
Pats
Derry (after a replay)
Cork
Limerick
Longford
Dundalk/UCD (can't ...or won't... call it!)

Agree with all of them bar think malahide will bring bohs to replay, and douglas hall will beat limerick.

[holidaysong]

Douglas Hall can't cause two upsets in the same year can they?

[sfc red]

Particularly given the thread title is about the FAI Cup.

I actually thought this was the First Division Title thread :eek:

[onephillyhughes]

I think Limerick will see off Douglas Hall. Fanad will push Longford.

[bellavistaman]

Douglas Hall can't cause two upsets in the same year can they?

2 munster teams, after scalpin us they'll be confident, if they know anything about limerick they'll know there in serious trouble at the moment, big presssure on mcgee and players, yet again they have nothing to lose.

[onephillyhughes]

Sounds like they'll beat us next week then! :D

[/off topic] :P

[razor]

Even with our recent slump everyone expects us to get past Dougles Hall Is this on in Limerick or did ye concede home advantage?

[KevB76]

Is this on in Limerick or did ye concede home advantage?
Its in Limerick.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Whats your likely line up for the Quarter Finals?

Dundalk vs UCD
Bray vs Pats
Cork vs Kilkenny
Waterford vs Sligo
Harps vs Derry
Limerick vs Douglas
Longford vs Fanad
Malahide vs Bohs

Sligo or us to win outright.

[biscuit]

The way Pats are going they will be MId Table by end of season, and as always win nought. If you can find a bigger crowd than will appear at the Derry Finn Harps match this weekend then I'll take it all back, but cant see any other match that will attract a larger crowd, so why shouldnt it be televised. You have the most inform team apart from Drogs in both leagues, and the current cup holders away to their local rivals. So why shouldn't it be televised.


how ae u the other inform team apart from drogs at the moment...u sheepies really are losing the run of yourselves, rovers are playing far better stuff in the premier, your doing it against kilkenny and the likes, and a friendly v celtic...:rolleyes:

Cobh are THE form team in both divisions. End of.

[Réiteoir]

Got me a ticket to the Malahide game on Sunday.

A quick overnighter from England it is then...

[sligoman]

Whats your likely line up for the Quarter Finals?
Derry,
Limerick 37,
U.C.D.D.(after a replay),
Sligo Rovers(after a replay maybe),
Pat's,
Longford,
Bohs(after a replay),
Cork.


Cobh are THE form team in both divisions. End of.Easier opposition...doesn't count.

[bellavistaman]

Easier opposition...doesn't count.

Ye didnt do it when ye were in div1, not so long ago

[sligoman]

Ye didnt do it when ye were in div1, not so long agoAnd your point? Did I say we did? We're talking about current form this season, not past seasons. Gap between Premier and First is too big to compare teams with each other.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Cobh are THE form team in both divisions. End of.
Form is the past 5 matches. Cobh have 9/15, Sligo 13/15 playing in a higher division.

[bellavistaman]

Form is the past 5 matches. Cobh have 9/15, Sligo 13/15 playing in a higher division.

why 5?

[DmanDmythDledge]

why 5?
Because form is recent games.

[bellavistaman]

Because form is recent games.

Fair enough, not sayin anything, by the way dman, onephillyhughes said end of, no need to comment again:D

[biscuit]

Ya we didnt do it when we were there, we just won the league, which none of you have done yet please remember. And we did it playing quite badly for the final quarter. As has been said, when your doing it against quality opposition then start bragging.

[bellavistaman]

i didnt brag, dundalk fan kindly pointed it out. Hopefully we follow ye dont care how boring our games are, cant imagine us winning the league, no matter what happens we've come a long way from the days of re applying for league status annualy

[onephillyhughes]

Weaker opposition, thats ********, no one brought that into it. Of course its weaker opposition, but you can only beat whats put in front of you. Cobh haven't lost in what, 23 games? That to me is the best run ANYONE in this country has gone on all season. Of course I hope its put to an end quick, but you can't take away from a run like that, regardless of the opposition.

[kev mcq]

Form is the past 5 matches. Cobh have 9/15, Sligo 13/15 playing in a higher division.

In that case...Finn Harps 13/15;)

[John83]

Needless to say Finn Park match should be on this weekend!:rolleyes:
I saw the viewing figures for TG4's live games a while ago - 30k is a hell of a lot more than are at the games. All of the games put together.

[Sam_Heggy]

Dundalk vs UCD
Bray vs Pats
Cork vs Kilkenny
Waterford vs Sligo
Harps vs Derry
Limerick vs Douglas
Longford vs Fanad
Malahide vs Bohs

Sligo or us to win outright.

Id agree with most of that except Derry to beat us after a replay. And Bohs or Pats to win outright.
I think Ourselves, Dundalk would take promotion over a place in the quarter finals any day.
All messin aside theres a long way to go in the 1st Div and any of the 3 can win it, but theres a 1st Div thread already so.......................... lets all argue in there :cool:

[Réiteoir]

And your point? Did I say we did? We're talking about current form this season, not past seasons. Gap between Premier and First is too big to compare teams with each other.

Have to say here and now - you were bloody lucky to get past Killester in that replay in Tolka last season.

Easily the best Cup tie I've been to anywhere ever

[pineapple stu]

Went on a bit of a betting rampage there...Money on all the games. :o

Dundalk vs UCD (hate betting on us, but having seen Harps when they're in form, I'd have to hope we can beat Dundalk out of form)
Bray vs Pats (5/2 good odds on Bray, I think)
Cork vs Kilkenny
Waterford vs Sligo
Harps vs Derry - draw
Limerick vs Douglas - draw
Longford vs Fanad
Malahide vs Bohs

[Sam_Heggy]

Stu I wouldn count beating Dundalk as a fore-gone conclusion either, their minds should be set on the 1st Div BUT they will be no push over. Also when ye played us we were missing 6 1st team players (not making excuses btw) Higsy rested 2 players we had 1 suspended and 3 injured that night and of coarse the very mobile Parkhouse played CM that night too :p. Anyway point is, that I wouldn use that game as an example for Dundalk. Tryin to save ya a little money :cool: Personally I wouldn't bet on that game.
