    Incidentally, if we do end up playing Bray, it'd be the third time this year that we'd played our Cup opponents two weeks or less after playing them elsewhere. Dublin City - League Cup and FAI Cup within ten days; Longford Town - League and FAI Cup within two weeks and Bray Wanderers - League and FAI Cup within seven days.

      Bray without Zayeed doesn't seem as tough a prospect as Bray with Zayeed.

      So having beaten Longford tonight could UCD now become the new cup kings????

        Why Bray without Zayed? Did they sell him? Too early for a ban surely?

          Gone to Aalesund, bottom of the Norweigan top flight, according to the Bray forum. Great news for us!

            Great news for every club we have to play this season ! and very bad news for us. Our only saving grace is that were in the same position as your lot now - we don't have a goal scorer ! Should be a very very tight game, this is how i see it - nil all wrote all over this one, replay, nill all again, extra time and penos which ends up nil all after all 11 players have taken them. Mahon steps up and blazes over the bar, Devlin to send the seagulls through......... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL

              Alan Mahon not hit the net? You're talking crazy talk!! Look at his phenomenal record of 1 goal in at least 205 games...

                Ah, but what's his cup record? I'll bet it's much higher.

                  1 goal in 17, going back to 1998/99. Probably a few more games, but certainly no more goals! I should point out that I was there for that goal, but missed it as I was buying a bar of chocolate in the shop...

                  Which leaves the league record at no goals in 171 games and counting! Wonder what the world record for an outfield player with no goals is?

                    Liverpool full back Rob Jones played several hundred games without ever scoring for them if I recall correctly. Certainly a good 7 seasons or so.

                      Eamo might be gone but we beat Pats in a similar match to the one both of us played at the Carlisle back in March/April. 1-0 to Bray (I remember that part!!).

                      I think this will be the tightest draw in the Cup. Both teams will be very confident going in and everyone thinks both teams can win it.

                        I remember Rob Jones nickname was trigger because of his scoring prowess rather than any Only fools and horses reference (although they probably got the name from the show).

                        I came up with the idea for shouting SHOOT SHOOT at Alan Mahon from Johnny Jensen's time at Arsenal when it took him ages (can't remember how long) to finally get off the mark. The gunners fans screamed it at him from all over the park wherever he got possession.

                          Rob Jones was a Welsh man who opted to play for England. Thus turning his back on a potential 100 international caps ........
