Most likely the Saturday I'd say.
A venue hasn't being confirmed yet either.
Most likely choice at the moment is Tolka Park. They've played their last league game there, we've played and beaten them twice there in the FAI Cup and Shels are not playing that weekend so it's available for a cup game.
Going by Insistant Message Board Intelligent and Considered Invaluable Logically Enviroment then it's Tolka.
Finn's suspension counts for this game, right? I think someone said that the other night, but he wasn't suspended for the league cup semi, so I'm a little confused.
The suspension list was only released today so the ban couldn't start before that.
Robbie creevy "..did his quad" which does not mean he pranged his vechicle into a sanddune. It's actual more serious than that. He may be out for up to six months.
Mulhall may duck under the suspension dates.
Who's going to this one?

Kilduff went through the defence and around Murphy like he wasn't there and buried the ball in the top of the net. But UCD let shamrocks into the game and they scored with their first shot on target with the UCD defence standing off and letting Baker score from three yards. And it was nice to see Kavanagh have a shot and score from the edge of the box with rovers second shot on target.
UCD heads dropped and there wasn't much service to Kilduff, Mulhall and D. McMillan. Baker scored after half-time with Brennan having to come of his goal to close him down. Rusty put on McMahon and ward and took off Reilly and D.McMillan. They got a little bit more progress the pitch, the pressre got to Murphy when he was forced to handle outside the box to prevent a UCD goal. Alan Kelly bottled the red and only showed the goalie the yellow. With the free kick just over the bar. Alot of huffing and puffing from UCD who were the only side interested in attacking until a break-away from shamrocks had Billy Brennan fouling the forward while trying to get the ball. One yellow and penalty decision later and Brennan superbly saved motm Dessie Baker. Not his first penalty save this season either.
Positive points included Shane Robinson didn't act as much of a thug as he did the last time he played UCD. Towelie made an appearance.
Stuff I learnt, Sean O'Connor is as poor as ever. The translucent blue roof on the far side will look great when it's complete. Billy Brennan is a legend and Barry Murphy is a cheat.
Whatever abot the merits of UCD's goalkeppers (Ger Barron and Billy Brennan) they are not cheats.
