What sort of team did Dundalk have out? Some result all the same.
Fairly routine 3-0 win over Wexford for us tonight with an almost completely different starting eleven from the Cork game (Webster and Forrester the only exceptions). Cracking goal from Git to open the scoring and you can tell how much it meant to him, he's been slowly getting back into the swing of things so far so hopefully that'll do him a world of good.
Won 3-0 a cracker from forester brought the game to life.
Nobody that started Friday played but Cleary, Foley, Jarvis (at left back) Dan Kelly, Flores (went off injured), Georgie Kelly all played
Vinnie out :)
Anyone with a low embarrassment threshold, would be likely to be red-faced around the performance tonightQuote:

It was a poor performance. If McGraths fit none will start Friday anyway
Has Ross Treacy not gone up the pecking order with Sava gone ? See he was only on the bench tonight.
McCarey has basically been signed since the summer, only joined in Jan (was playing with Warrenpoint)
We were told by everyone he would challenge Rogers
He won’t on tonight’s performance
Athlone's first competitive win in 18 months!
Fair play to Athlone, I know it's 'only' the LSC but it's a cracking result to start the season.
The guy who scored for Athlone (Dean Williams) is on loan from Rovers, he scored goals for fun for the 19's last year and is a terrific talent.
Should score plenty for them in the first divison.
Aside from Forrester’s belter, the other goals for Pats were a great header from 19’s striker Jake Walker and a tap in rebound from fullback Paul Cleary
Did Ciaran Kelly get a run for Pats at all?

Played the full 90 minutes, defensively very sound, gave the ball away too much going forward though.
Anything less than a point in Finn Park on Friday and the pressure will intensify.Quote:

Quite pleased with myself on this one. Paddy power were giving 6 to 1 on Cabo to beat bray today which they duly did 2 to 1.
Any long odds bets in the lsc are good value as no one could have a clue what the second 11s or 19s of either team will do.
UCD v Crumlin is on 27th August - six months after the rest of the round.Quote:

This year's tournament is an even bigger farce than usual; well done to the LFA on that fine achievement.
Rovers are playing killester tomorrow.Quote:

North end never made contact with LTFC, stupid competition should be scrapped
imagine in that scenario we would get a walkover..Quote:

When u consider 75% of the league matches are over there would be plenty of oppurtunities
I'm pretty sure they will be saying they beat Shamrock Rovers not SRFC U19s and who knows who they might draw in the next round that they can look forward to playing.
Well said.Quote:

I don't remember this ever being quite so shambolic before?
Its always been shambolic. Think one year the final wasn’t played until the following season. Winter /summer Leagues added another layer of chaos to the mix.Quote:

This year's round of 16 games are unplayed over a year after the preliminary round though.
It has nothing to add tbh, and agree it should be scrapped.
doubt there will be little interest in our game considering we are playing in Ferrycarrig 3 days later! very late to have a tie for this competition considering the league season is nearly finished. Its a sham!Quote:

Though it's not quite a year; he has the first game as 24th August last year. It's possible a preliminary round draw for 2019/20 has already been made.
This season has been a fairly spectacular b-up, not just with first games last September and still not into the QFs, but first 4th Round matches last February, and the Round still not finished. At least there are now dates for the remaining matches.
For the record, since its establishment in 1892/3, the competition has been highly variable.
In the 1910s, it was making a 'home' for itself on St Patricks Day, playing the final that day six times (and once more during the Patricks Day weekend: Sunday was a no-no).
But the FAI wanted that date for its blue riband national Cup, and from 1921, the first decade of the new regime saw LSC Finals in April.
Then clearly a decision was made to make it a Stephens Day showpiece (Munster Finals were also aimed at that date for periods).
From 1930/31 until 1976/7, only three Boxing Days failed to feature the LSC Final: 1945/6 (16 Jan), 1966/7 (27 Dec) and 1971/2 (26 Jan).
Occasionally draws made a serious dent in the schedule: in 1957/8 the Final was not replayed until 5 February, and in 1974/5 it was even later, on 20 March.
But from the late 1970s on, it was again highly variable. Dates in early December, in January and even in April featured - though it returned to Stephens Day for a couple of years as the two-division League commenced.
The 1988/9 Final, drawn 1-1 between Bohemians and Bray on St Stephens Day 1988, wasn't replayed until 7 August 1989 - the day after the first round matches for the next season! (Bohs won 1-0.)
Since the 10-year gap, the LSC has failed to command a reliable programme of dates, which argues that the LFA has failed to talk to the FAI.
The worst schedule until this year was when the first games in the First Round were played on 8 & 9 September 2016, and the Final more than a year later, on 4 October 2017 (There was a Preliminary Round match, but I don't have a date for it).
When this year's Final will be played is highly debatable.
Details to date here (still missing one or two ...)
