Lost track of the number of fouls Drogheda committed. There were bound to be some second yellows in there.
Kalonas had a really good game. He seems to be one of those "in the hole" type players. Crowe's goal was really well taken, too.
Cork held on well in what was an enjoyable game for the first hour. Gamble and Rice were running the show, Amond could've done better and Doyle was unlucky to hitting the post in the first half.
Still, one of the better Rovers games of recent times.
Were there any "Kilcoyne Our Hero" revenge banners?
Unfortunately not. Just chanting..
"You're not getting paid", "Down with the Ramblers", "You're on the dole in the morning"...standard stuff and the old Ollie Byrne favourite "Where's your money gone".
Some 'save our club' banner in the ballybough end..
you can always count on a great big bite from a UCD fan... easy fishin...Quote:

Kildare Vs. Derry this afternoon has been postponed due to waterlogged pitch. Almost drove over to that!
It's on the Kildare County website that it's going aheadQuote:

Kildare County v Derry City postponed
The FAI Ford Cup Fourth Round fixture between Kildare County and Derry City, scheduled for today at 2pm in Station Road, has been postponed. The decision to postpone the game was taken following a pitch inspection.
Details of the rescheduled match will be released in due course.
ENDS
My Da and six others were 15 mins from the ground when they got news of the Kildare postponement. Couldn't an inspection have been held last night or first thing this morning - lot of wasted journeys.
According to Carrick club officials the Sporting game is 100% on for certain
The draw had already been made at that point. If the draw hasn't been made and Cork fold, well that moves the goalposts again.Quote:

Anyone got a new date for the Kildare game?
The fixture list released by the FAI last night doesn't mention it, despite Cup replays featuring.
usually it does be refixed for the date that the replay would have taken place in the event of a draw?
The BBC said it had been rearranged for Tuesday night.
The fixture list for the 11-17/8 had an asterik against the game, saying that if a replay was required it would be on Tuesday.Quote:

Wayside go one up in the 89th minute through a peno, Monaghan down to ten as well.
Huge storm down here at the moment. Was at the groud around an hour ago and the pitch is perfect though the wind could destroy any chance of a good game
No, because last night would have been 15 hours before the match and a lot could happen in the meantime. Pitch inspections have to be made close enough to the game almost by definition. It's annoying, but there's no way around that, and I don't know why people keep getting annoyed about it.Quote:

Nearly as funny as Tipp getting beat today. :):):)
i remember Wayside causing Bohs a lot of problems in the Cup a couple of seasons back
Not surprised they won today

Ford FAI Cup tie switched to Brandywell
The Ford FAI Cup Fourth Round tie between Kildare County and Derry City has been rescheduled for the Brandywell on Tuesday, August 19, at 7.45pm. The match has been switched to Derry because Station Road is unavailable on Tuesday night.
ENDS
Heh, "unavailable." Couldn't have worked out any better for Kildare in the circumstances, good thing no jobsworth at the FAI threw a spanner in the works of a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Result :)
Pats 3-1 up in Wexford. Quigley and Murphy(2), Doyle for Wexford.
That is shocking and gives Derry the game.Quote:

Very true.Quote:

But with the game being called off I'm sure very little (probably less than 150) Derry fans would have went down again this tuesday.
Financially for Kildare, a game at the Brandywell is probably what they really need right now and obviously Derry wont complain.
