Sounds about right to me but Derry should be ahead and Bohs should be behind.

I'd almost put Derry in as favorites as they seem unbeatable at home. Derry away would be worst possible draw for any team.

Well thats the draw we are going to get then isn't it? :mad:

i don't know our cup record in the last few years has been appalling- beaten by longford at home last year, kilkenny (!!!) the season before that and harps upin ballybofey all in the 3rd round

But in general the team have played well this season.We've beaten the top teams and we did win the cup the year before that.

Ya Derry should be higher. Did any1 notice ramblers are 50/1 and if you look at the next group 100/1 you have Rockmount and Leeds from the M.S.L. how embarassing for them . I'd love to see a tie involving them and an M.S.L. team,just to see who'd win!!

it's not that long ago that Rockmount knocked City out of the League Cup.

if your going to win it you might aswell win it the hard way :cool:

i suppose we won it the hard way in '98. bi9g name=big crowds and i suppose we'd have to be confident of beating anyone at the x

does anybody remember that great run!!! i always still laugh at broughan's og for us that saw us knock out bohs - absolutely bizarre. the final itself while a poor game had a very decent cork city support. i reckon there must have been 10-15 city supporters at it

i remember the first match there was a huge support. in the replay we had again a decent support but not as many. i was behind the goal when DC headed home. what joy
