I'd like to think so Dancin. However we'll be away and they have not been beaten in domestic cup competition for a long time. They have to be favourites but we're more than capable of winning. It's the most even tie in the round. Could it be possible covered by TV?Quote:

And just to make sure we can move on on-topic: excuse me if I upset anyone, but I really had NO political undertone or preference intended. Just found a good job opportunity that happens to be north of the border and in a fine city. Maybe I'll get used to be extra careful when speaking about these things once I'm up there :)
Haven't been home in so long, so not sure. Depends on the KickOff time I s'pose. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a late train though.Quote:

Sligo-Pats would be another option for me I guess, not that far from the border as well and never been at the Showgrounds yet...
Argh, it's just frustrating Shels ain't there anymore... WE should be playing Kildare :mad:
Come on the Wayside beat them gypos :D
I hope anyway one or if possible a few amateur sides proceed. But I don't see it happening, none of them has home advantage (though maybe Shamrock will be forced to let go of the home adv. :D )
My initial reaction was the same but it wouldn't be the cup without an upset.Quote:

Douglas Hall, Bohemian FC welcomes you to Dalymount Park (assuming the shams behave/keep paying the rent). Make yourselves right at home :DQuote:

Wonder if the lovely craptown lads in the picture below will decide to come out again and have round two at our match :rolleyes:
Slight difference:Quote:

We played Cherry Orchard three or four years ago and they were awful, mind, but still...
Don't know anything about Douglas Hall to say if they could beat Rovers?
No, they have to show seven games, one of which has been shown, by the end of the tournament. They can show as many or as little from any one round as they want.Quote:
