I think it is too early to be predicting results - it is still two months until the ties will be played!

What? As opposed to the Celtic rip off?.

Harps v Athlone

Not a bad for us even though we would have liked a home draw as it would have been possibly the last FAI Cup game in St Mels and the thought of another ass breaking journey to Ballybofey for what will be the fourth time this season when the cup is played.

But at least the beer is good and the Harps lads are a sound bunch.

It's an FAI cup match so they (FAI) will pay the security and deduct it from both clubs share of the gate. Less money for both clubs.

Rovers v Bohs!?!
good.
our brothers across europe will want to attend this game no doubt.
and the turnstiles at tolka will spin like a politicians PR man.
hope we can find a goalscorer and get some bulk in midfield by then

I think we're due a cup win over Derry by now, possibly the winner of this match will go on to win the cup...

I Suppose thats the magic of the cup to see if the likes of first division teams can pull of a shock result against stronger opposition. Best of Luck to you guys

what are you talking about?

not even the most hardened/deluded gypo belives any of that. have a skim through gypoweb, they have the game lost already.

we have lost once all season. they are at their lowest ebb in years. the only thing they have is the higher division they are just about in

the game of Rovers life? you pillock

Which game will have the highest attendance? Which game will capture the imagination of the public? Which game will garner the most media attention? Which game actually means something?

while its patently ovbious which game means more to the fans, and will have a decent enough attendence I think its a valid point made by both derry & sheilas fans that the eventual winner of the cup could come from the winner of their tie.
neither bohs nor rovers will come within an ass's roar of the fai cup final.

Ah yeah - bit of craic though!

Harsh on Killester though - two rounds of the FAI Cup (their first ever?) and all they get is Wayside and Dublin City.

Don't confuse 'caring' about Shelbourne with wanting Shelbourne to do the decent thing and lie down and die.

There will be more people at the Shels and Derry game there for the football, than the Top of Division One -v- Bottom of Premier encounter.

Crowd may be bigger at the Rovers Bohs game, but that will have a lot to do with the fact its your one and only encounter for the season.

Shels v Derry is the bigger game, I have no doubts about that.

as for the results in both,
Shels to win at home. we beat them 1-0 last time at home and the 1-1 in the setanta was a last min goal from Derry that willo let slip through his hands, we've had the better of Derry at home this season (eventually !!! :) )

Bohs to win easily. Rovers are in the first division for a reason and your not even top of a very poor division. You needed Killkenny to miss a peno the other night to get a 0-0 and I cant see any reason why your team can progress past even a bad Bohs team. One off cup game and all that but when I look at the teams sheets of both teams it seems to spell out Bohs every time...

How do you intend working that one out? A simple questionnaire? Anyone not in colours is not "there for the football" maybe?

The fact is that more people will attend Rovers/Bohs than any other 3rd round game. Derby games and bitter rivalries have their own special attraction all across the world. Mind you, it's not a concept that Shels need to understand anytime soon.

Going by Bohs and Rovers recent attendences hopefully this "tie of the round" manages to get a crowd of 4 figures

im sure it will considering our last 2 cup meetings got 12,000 and 8,000

i dont know what the discussion is about, the derry v shels game is the 'football' tie of the round due to respective league placings, but the dublin derby is the headline grabber because, well, its the dublin derby.

I imagine there'll be plenty at Shamrock vs. Bohemian who won't be wearing colours and won't be there for the football either...:p

Remember the likes of Burton Albion and how they lived their dream last year ! Best of luck

am i getting patronised by a bog rover? :confused:

we have been in the 1st ten minutes ffs. you were there nearly 10 years. we are hardly used to it.

would it be classed as a 'shock' if we did them?

and anyone who uses romance in the context of a Rovers v pox game is either on a wind up or a different planet

i've seen boths bohs&shams recently(galway v shams & bohs v us) and even though bohs fans would be disgusted with their performance against us i wouldn't give shams a hope in hell if they played like they did against galway. a lot can change between now&then but if i was betting on it i'd have my money on bohs

I think you need a reality check go and watch a premier divison game and then first division game, that should sort you out :D . As you know Bohs are not playing well if you believe and get stuck in you may just do it. I suppose The Shams directors are probably hoping the game goes to a replay so you can get a big pay day at a premier divison ground, will it would make financial sense but as keeping with what i was saying for the romance of the Cup go out an do your best and you never know. One thing for sure this home game you will have more than a few hundred at your game which would be welcome by any club in the ame position.

anyone who calls the bores a 'leading light of the EL' and thinks we get a few hundred at games is on a wind up. clueless.

I thought your last home game was 300 and your last away game was 200 ??
Id call that a couple of hundred...
No use pretending otherwise.

and before you go down the road of shels have no fans,

Limerick, Cobh, and ourselves, are better sides than the bottom 6 in the other division.

A Rovers-Bohs game is not romance. It's blood-and-guts, car-crash football, the only LOI fixture where form does not count. And no, we don't need a replay. We played 20 times at Dalymount last season, so we're sick of the place.

Stop biting to him....he's not used to being in a higher division or dealing with the prospect of a big derby, bless..

He should be more concerned with filling a 14 seater bus to a *big* premier division match on Friday than fishing at Rovers fans.

So that's how you ended up in the first division, you are better than the bottom of the premier. Dream on.

Shels v Derry is bigger because its 2 of the top 4.

Bohs v Rovers is bigger because it'll have the biggest crowd of the round, it'll be the headline grabber in the week leading up to the game because of its once off nature this year. This will be Shels /Derry 5th time this season I think.

Bohs v Rovers will be the most unique fixture in this league for a long time. One fallen giant against one sliding backwards giant. It might well be the one and only time there is a derby between Bohs and Rovers with the teams in different divisions. For that reason it gives it something extra that Shels v Derry wont have simply because of the number of times you have played Derry this season.
