One thing is for sure, one of them will be the Europa League 2nd Qualifying Round next season.
Depends on the draw, from our point of view.
Anyone at home and I'd be confident of making it to the final. We've beaten Sligo at home a few times since they came up and we haven't lost to them. I think we beat Fingal in a pre-season friendly at home this year and I wasn't too impressed with them. I honestly don't have a clue about Waterford but, at home, I'd be confident we could beat them.
If we're drawn away, I wouldn't be confident of getting through.
waterford only conceded 12 goals in 24 games so far this season.
best back line in the country by a mile.
come on ye blues.
I wouldn't say the best buth with Fletch and Murray at the back.. super defence XD anyone at home please ^^ away and id be a little worried but a 2-0 win at pats.. anythin could happen ^^

Would take anyone home or away to be honest. I have seen us on our day go to Bohs and Rovers and win. I think all the teams left are fairly equal and home advantage wont be a huge difference as displayed by fingal and waterford winning away tonight. Gonna be interesting, either us, waterford or sligo lifting their 3rd cup or fingal their first. I thin we'll do it, devo back to guide us to cup glory!
im sorry im too tired to think.. ^^Quote:

Sligo look good for it, but there's no reason why Fingal or possibly Bray couldn't do it.
I'm a bit disappointed that the chnace of a big-draw final like Bohs-Rovers is gone. Tempered though by my delight that our treble record remains for another year..... :D
despite dublinreds bizarre outburst in another thread, i still hope that Sligo win it.
if ya seen how we beat cork,derry and bohs you would put your house on sligo winning the cup cos how we won them games im still trying to figure out................i put it down to the man in the sky, johnny chadda. he must be smiling down on us. truthfully i dont think any of the 4 teams really fear each other so should make for great semi's. its all about th draw and home advantage will be as good as a goal start for the home side. at least none of the big 4 are left so football should win out as teams will not go into games fearful of defeat cos they are big underdogs and should see some good old fashion cup games with plenty of action. i hope sligo win it as we have had a poor season and we are better than the way we played this year. come on the bit o red !!!:D
Apparently the betting markets for the replays were very lively yesterday with all the money for the outsiders?
Oh the glamour! both games to be on at Jackman Park Limerick as a double header! :rolleyes:

i'd rather any of the three over fingal soley for the reason that thay wont have baght it because i think atleast fingal have an unfair advantage over many clubs with the council backing?mabe i'm rong thou but still its a great cup draw!:D

hope Sligo do it....they deserve the trophy after knocking the champions of their perch!!!!
Ah now, I think the penalty was fair, our player (Jake Kelly I think) was pulled over from behind by Boco.Quote:

It just depends which side turns up to the semi and the final.
That said, if I was a betting man, my money would still be on Sligo.
I said Fingal at the start of the season so i'll stick by it. Nice for any of the first divsion clubs to win it. Shows the gulf in class isn't as big as some people like to think.
Has to be Sligo (deservedly). The only problem for them would be complacency.
Very little between the 4 teams left home advanatge in the semis will be a big factor would make Bray the favorites given their recent cup history.
Hope Waterford do it. They seem to have sorted themselves out as a club and Henderson is working miracles there with little to spend.

Any home draw at this stage is all you can ask for really. The one draw i dont want is Sligo away for above said reason by you.
Semis - 09 (at least)Quote:

It shows no such thing I'm afraid.Quote:

Would like to see Waterford win it too, as well as they being our neighbours, theres a lot of Cork lads down there.Quote:

Exactly it's not winning but that's just my opinion.Quote:
