FAI Cup 2007

Dundalk started playing games on Thursday nights back in the 1980's when there was no work and Dole was paid out on Thursdays... FACT! I believe Dundalk were cheated out of their place in the Premier Division during the close season and were shafted plain and simple. Maxi was just extreme in his reaction to that disappointment, but I understand why he felt strongly against the decision.

Of course not but you wouldn't have to worry about getting home for the next morning.

With respect it is not that difficult to get home from Dundalk in a car after the game, assuming of course the windows haven't been broken by local scangers hanging around who never go to the games.

Exactly. Not everyone has a car.

Maybe its a stupid day to have a match from away supporters perspective but i don't see why we should change for a handful of supporters. Thursday night is Dundalk fans most popular night for football. Plus it releases to bars to be available for functions which is an extra money earner for the club. If we get promoted next year then maybe it should be reviewed as its more likely that away clubs will bring large groups of supporters to games.

Home teams have to suit themselves I agree. The size of away support in this league is nowhere near enough to justify making arrangements to have slightly more away support.

*BTW I never meant to start a discussion about the Thursday night thing.

Who are you calling a southsider? I live in Dublin 13 What's an attitube anyway?

How many years were the various different Limerick City/FC's etc based in
ahem cough Rathbane/Southill ahem cough... you of all people ought to be familiar with scangers hanging around who never go to the games.

Last time I looked this country was a republic and guaranteed freedom of speech.

Anyway to get back to the FAI Cup tie away to Dundalk :-
Dundalk: Bennion; Flanagan, Lynch, McGauley, Crawley; O'Connor, Marney, Perth, C McArdle (R Dunne, 68 mins); Smyth (Gallagher, 81 mins ), Doyle (Vaughan, 73 mins). This was Dundalk's line-up in their last home league game I have highlighted all the Ex-UCD players in the side.

Dundalk in a poor run of form at the moment- 5 points from their last 5 matches- and are playing Cobh next week. Looks like we're playing them at the right time.

[Poor Student]

Dundalk could say something similar about us sadly.

[DmanDmythDledge]

If there is a replay it will be played on Sunday 19th August at 7.45pm.

Dundalk vs UCD

Onwards and upwards after last night. Wasn't our best performance against Galway but it would do the job against Dundalk imo. Looking forward to this, looks set to be our best away trip of the year.

[DmanDmythDledge]

the way we are playing at the moment we should win this one, although form goes out the window in cup games. hynes and murphy haven't done enough to warrant a starting place imo so I think the best thing to do is bring conan back into the team. fitzgerald and him are the 2 best wingers we have so it should be them on the wings with doyler upfront. despite his goals his performances still aren't great and I think he would make a better forward- good in the air and can finish. the team i'd go for:

Quigley
Mahon
Kenna
McNally
Bermingham
Fitzy
King
Finn
Conan
Sammo
Doyler

[Schumi]

Interesting team. I wouldn't mind seeing Doyle through the middle; I think he'd be better behind the striker, similar to Finn away to Pats.
