Wouldn't that only make up 27 teams? I read elsewhere that Avondale & St. Michael's are also in the draw, so still missing 3 teams by my count.Quote:

EDIT: Second most Northern club, Sea Rovers in Malin Head are the most northern.
One of those teams I'd always love to draw away (along with Fanad), but moving it to Buncrana would be far less craic, but totally understandable.Quote:

i would safely hazard a guess that it would be the highest ground in the 26 counties. and there was I thinking it would be Cobh!Quote:

I've never heard of this website before, but it doesn't bode well when they don't seem to know what round of the cup this draw is for....

The draw is actually clashing with Soccer Republic now
Idiots
Moronic but not surprising.Quote:

A disappointing bunch of draws there in my view.
Only Bohs-Shels, and possibly Pats-Bray, offer much in the way of excitement really.
At least there'll be at least three non-league teams in the next round anyway.
Long trip south for Glengad to St Mick's
Didn't want to win the cup anyway!
It's Shamrock Rovers in the cup so you just never know. Longford and Athlone might get a bit of interest as a cup derby?Quote:

Unless there is the odd shock somewhere most of the other games look pretty meh 😁
Glengad is where my both grand parents where from and my dad (obviously). They are from between Malin town and Culdaff. An absolute stunning place in Ireland. As Brendy said their pitch is in the middle of nowhere though. Hopefully they get through and get a money spinner draw away against Derry if we get past Wexford obviously.Quote:

But Rovers are the cup kings didn't you know, Yiz are a model to win

No sense of cup fever among Saints fans just yet. I expect a low key victory in front of a paltry crowd. I'd say premier league will have a big affect on attendances tonight.
The Cabo supporters haven't found their way here yet.Quote:

Cabo beating Cork into extra time. It just gets worse and worse for them. Where's it going to end?
Made a banquet out of that tonight. I was surprised by Bray that had a few impressive young players. I was not surprised by us, we were dreadful in the first half but showed more urgency in the second. It was a good finish by McAuley who was very lively off the bench and took his goal well , looks a player. In the hat for the next round for what it's worth.
I have no words for this.
Backed Cabo at 4 to 1 gutted it's going to be an extra time job. Cabo aren't badQuote:
