Waterford FC v Cork City
Treaty Utd v Cobh Ramblers
Semi Finals will be played at Neutral Venues in the region of the home drawn team. Fixture details TBC in due course"
What's supposed to be a neutral venue in Limerick and Waterford?!
Some nonsenseQuote:

Even for the LSC, that's bizarre.
Since when did games have to be played remotely on time in it?
Local paper and radio saying we pulled outQuote:

Longford's C team but the performance was shocking. Not looking good.
Our A team didn't look up to very much last Saturday so that's not much of a surprise. Six academy players playing last night apparently and, with all due respect and goodwill to the efforts put in by players and staff, we're generally not very successful at Academy level.
Mo Boudiaf and Jamal were excellent, i'd start them tonight. Keeper did well too. Also Fran Campbell has a bit about himQuote:

Not like Drogs played all their 19s, at least 6 or 7 first team squad involved. Think Usher are in 3rd tier of LSL, not a good night. Gonna be a long season for them.
Dundalk reinstated after appeal!
Dundalk back in the greatest cup competition in the world.
Where are they from Usher Celtic lads?Quote:

The Crumlin vs Bohs game has been switched to Dalymount and is happening on the 12th of March at 2pm.
Bray 2-1 Rovers
Rovers still without a win this season in a competitive game I think
very young Rovers side but Bray looked decent i thought and deserved the win.
Bitterly cold as usual , decent crowd around a 1000 id say but im not used to estimating crowds in bray
Ive such grá for the LSC, its slapdash way of being run part of the charm so id be a little bit disappointed not to go a mix of seniors and development players at a semi-final and on. For a side that could win a league and Cup double, maybe League Cup, well the LSC, presidents trophy and if there is a cross-border playoff comp, it is a serious haul even if a couple of the main trophies are missed out on.Quote:

Massive crowd for a LSL cup, which if we are being honest is little more than a competitive friendly. Extratime.ie has it done as 500 estimate.Quote:

They're still all classed as senior players though.Quote:

Waterford v Cork City this evening in Ozier Park. Semi Finals being played at Neutral Venues in the region of the home drawn team!

Cork City beat Waterford 2-1 last night in awful weather conditions in Ozier Park in Waterford. Cork had their keeper sent off in first half but won it with a late goal. I heard 150 to 200 there.
The whole playing games in Jackman Park and Ozier Park is ridiculous. The Munster LoI clubs could arrange a Munster League Cup that could be more worthwhile. If it fails, it fails. If it was a hit, Connacht and Ulster might suit. In the absence of the League Cup, regional league cups might have a place in the first half of the season.
