Id like Bohs at home but undoubtedly we’ll draw Cork or Galway away to add to the discover Ireland route of Longford, Derry and Harps awayQuote:

I only remember Brendan Clarke make 2 saves, first after only 3 or 4 mins, the second around 70mins in.Quote:

Be nice to knock them out before the final
They're up now and jump from 38 minutes when it goes 4-0 to the full time whistle.Quote:

There's a 4 min version on the FAI channel, but there's now also a 10 min version on Galway's channel.
Cheers, I see Galway have 10 min highlights up now, will give them a watch.Quote:

I still reckon Bohs will win the cup this year. Would love to see Galway reach the final. Cork-Bohs would probably draw the biggest crowd?
Ciaraa why did Galway escape without an insult?
It was easier to poke fun at them when they had a fraudster running the club and were getting promoted on the back of a snazzy DVD (right here, right now).
I would prefer Cork v Galway, Caufield back at TC should add a great edge! :eek:
Let the dubs battle it Bohs/St.Pats, whatever, the final is in Dubland any way! :embarrassed:
I'm hearing the semi-finals will be on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th August.
I wonder is this due to RTE having a rugby match on TV on Friday 6th (and obviously The Late Late on RTE One) so they wouldn't be in a position to show a Friday night match.
The problem with Saturday is that Ireland take on Scotland at 20:00 in the Rugby World Cup, that would likely mean an afternoon kick-off time for the Saturday match. On the Sunday RTE are showing rugby from 16:45, so they may be pushing for a 14:00 kick-off on the Sunday
You'd like to think that regardless of the kick-off times all the matches will sell-out no matter what the draw throws up.
Unfortunately for Stevie it looks like we won that too: 1.82 v 1.25Quote:

They’ll sell out anyhow, and we don’t get a penny from fathead mcbennett and his band of incompetents.
Semi-finals are usually Saturday/Sunday events aren't they?
Why should we bend down to RTÉ who don’t give a flying f*** all season about loi soccer
Unless there prepared to pay clubs the loss in attendance revenue at least if Ther going to change to a sat/sun I’m hearing afternoon ko which will not suit all regular Fri night fans
Historically Friday/Sunday. Some years they have both been on Sundays, some years one on Friday, one on Sunday. I can't recall us ever having a semi final on a Saturday, at least in the last decade. Its possible there were Saturday semi finals in years we didnt get there.Quote:

3 weeks is a fair gap and friendlies will be hard to organise with the PD still going and the FD clubs having gone on their Holiers.
Nice problem tp have i suppose
That's a long time to wait for a semi - finalQuote:

Mostly for past 20 years FAI Cup finals have been Friday night and Sunday afternoon you would think logistically easier for RTÉ live production, there hasn't been one semi final on a Saturday in the past 20 years anyway and I can't recall a Saturday semi-final myself before thatQuote:

With the Rugby World Cup fixtures RTÉ have to show live I wouldn't be shocked if one of the games was early on the Saturday this year
We were due to play Limerick on a Saturday night in 94 but it was postponed and played the following Wednesday. Shels in 95 was a Sunday but 96 was a Saturday night I’m pretty sure. Superb winner by Tony Sheridan.
Like everyone else only remember Fridays or Sundays since they started being televised.
RTE have Rugby World Cup games on the Friday night, Saturday at 14:00 & 16:45, Sunday at 16:45 & 20:00. Virgin have the Ireland match on the Saturday evening too.
Maybe Virgin will take one of the Semi Finals on Friday night and RTE take the other one at around 14:00 on the Sunday. Or maybe RTE could go with the Saturday night slot but I can’t imagine they’d go head to head with Ireland playing rugby
Had to laugh at this clip of Darragh Leahy walking away in a huff because Sloggett didn’t give him a high five for his performance at 3-0 down after half an hour :D

Could be wrong on this, but aren't RTÉ contracted to show both semi-finals and the final?Quote:

Not sure, I think they usually agree on how many games they show in a year (approx 18 games I think but that might not be up to date for 2023) and they usually show the semi finals and final as 3 of the 18 but as mentioned in the thread, in 2021 they only showed one of the semi finals due to some sort of scheduling clash which I can’t remember off the top of my headQuote:

I really feel like Bohs should be winning it this year so was hoping to get them at home as that was our best chance. Not a great draw but we are better than Cork so should be getting through. Galway getting the home draw makes that one very interesting.
So Cork at home to Pat’s and Bohs away in Galway. Two very interesting matches.
We werent keen on playing any of you, Pats are probably the best of the bunch, but we'll take the home draw and hope we get some luck.
A Dublin derby final seems the most likely outcome from here, but who knows.
Longford away, Derry away, Finn Harps away, Cork away. That’s got to be some sort of record for consecutive poxy distances accumulated over an FAI Cup draw
We played Treaty in the first round and have been home every round since. Hoping for one trip outside Munster to come.Quote:
