Worst possible Cup draw.

[joeSoap]

Longford away. A poor gate, lots of travelling and against a premier side thats running into a bit of good form.

One word-DISASTER!!:ball:

For **** sake here we go again with the **** cup draws, UCD away would be the only worse other outcome.

[Schumi]

I'd happily swap you for our draw.

I'd happily swap you for our draw.

Just throw in a few of the unused seats around Belfield and the deal is done!

[JohnD]

Agree. Poor Draw. Anyone else would have been better

[Jofspring]

can't wait, i know a few longford lads so it'll be a good craic for me anyway :D

[bellavistaman]

Ah lads, yere well capable of beating them, get to the next round and yere laughin, will be great achievement.

were fxxked cost of travel will kill us

[mypost]

Yous have to travel everywhere twice, sometimes to Finn Harps and Dundalk, so a trip to Longford is not that tough for yous.

Hard to pick a winner from that tie, they're about the same level.

[sligoman]

Whos "us" in this case for you dazzler? if ****in cycle to this game if it needs be but as i see it there will be a bus going and lots of cars nice handy trip up the bog road

Cant feckin wait man some craic to be had:D

[jebus]

can't wait myself, not a great draw for the club financially, but I remember us playing Longford in the cup a few seasons back and it was a great game and laugh, so roll on the quarter, and hopefully, semi finals!!

[lfc at heart]

I think this is a great draw, we are well capable of beating Longford then a semifinal place, we got the easy one Lads, well up for it, what date is this fixed for Friday or Saturday night at what time

[declan hide]

dont longford play Saturday night?

[joeSoap]

When the fixtures are on will be determined by the television schedules I'd imagine. Last season they showed 2 quarter finals live, so I'd imagine they'll show Bohs-Pats and Waterford -Cork live.

Thats another reason to be glum. If we got any of those teams, we'd probably be getting a few bob TV money as well....

RTE, TG4 and Setanta don't even know where Longford is I'd say...

[LFC in Exile]

It all depends what you want out of a draw - a chance to advance or a few bob. This is probably a poor draw for the latter, but it gives us a better chance of advancing to the semis than some of the other alternatives.

IMO we should be hoping the QF draw gives us as good a chance as possible to get to the semis. Let the money mind itself. We're not small time any more. And this draw is as favourable as we coul dhave hoped for - except for it being away.

RTE showed our semi-final against Longford live from their ground a few years ago - a packed house. It looked very good on tele - even though we lost.

[fire away]

worst draw ever ..

[PinBallWizard]

I can see us getting a draw up there. Longford might be in a rich vein of form at home, but away they're vulnerable, so it could be a cup semi.

[joeSoap]

Whats that??? Optimism??? From Pinball man???? :)

[Monkfish]

worst draw ever ..

Ah in fairness the Munster rugger buggers got a bad one for the Heineken cup this year too!:)

[Monkfish]

Whos "us" in this case for you dazzler? if ****in cycle to this game if it needs be but as i see it there will be a bus going and lots of cars nice handy trip up the bog road

Not to mention pre bus pints in the still, our first pi$$ stop in Borrisocane, fantastic pints of heineken in Henneseys of Ferbane! the great resteraunt options of Atlone and of course the pre match meet up in Valentines of Longford, all off then to the Flan Siro for an FAI cup quarter final! ya dont get that in the junior leagues (unless you count Shannon as an 'away' trip):)

Munster? Who are they? :confused:

[Fr. Joe]

Will we take many fans up to this do ye reckon??

[Monkfish]

Will we take many fans up to this do ye reckon??

Id realistically hope for between 50-100, others will say we may take more but i doubt it, depends on what day its on too, sat or sun will do nicely thank you!

[sadloserkid]

worst draw ever ..

Ever? I take it you didn't make it to Glebe North a few years back then? ;) Hmmm... our last cup outing in Longford doesn't bode well but after Friday night surely belief has to be high in the camp?

worst draw ever in the history of limerick 37 me thinks...

[Lim till i die]

Ever? I take it you didn't make it to Glebe North a few years back then?

Blah, blah, blah

We've all been regaled many times with tales of the heroes of Glebe North

John Whyte thanked you personally

Is that not enough man?!?! :p




As for the draw it's crap. The Alan Matthews kick and rush wont suit our boys one bit and Longford will prevail in front of a crowd of approx 79 earning Limerick €12 in the process
