A home to St. Pat's in the FAI cup what do people think.

Personally think it is a good draw for us should generate some interest locally and get a few extra people throw the turnstile.

Should be looking to break the attendance record for this. Especially if the upturn in form can be maintained in the run up to the game.

It's a great draw, the best footballing team in the country, coming to play on the best pitch, against the best club.

The players should be well up for the game, although they will have some bad memories about the hammering they got from Pat's in the pre-season game. The cup is a totally different kettle of fish, Pat's should be comfortable winners 99 times out of 100, the cup is the time that 1 in 100 is most likely to happen.

A draw and a replay in Inchicore would be the ideal if a financial boost was the main goal I suppose.

It's extremely difficult on paper to see a win alright.

But:
With a bumper crowd && 120% Dedication

What if?
Pats put out a weakened side
OR Pats player gets an early red
OR Pats play really badly

&&

Former Pats player Paul Murphy gets the winner in 90th minute

Now thats what I call Cup football :D
