I'd said to myself I'll take a while to think about this one because with the comments posted by the Casltlebar lad I knew thier would be a reaction . Its hard enough goin out on penos without havin it rubbed in your face and I did'nt want it to take away from the game itself.

To be very honest we knew Castlebar were a good side and had'nt conceeded a goal in the Fai yet so we also knew it was'nt goin to be easy to break down.Nothin is at this stage.We started very brightly and had them on the back foot for 25 or so mins.They were takin no prisioners in the last 30 an we had 4 good direct free chances which we tryed to test their keeper with.Goldsmith made a great break then an one on one the keeper made a fine save.We stepped of the gas for the last 15 an our keeper had to save a one on one before we let them come into the game an we gave away a very soft goal.Our own fault.The ref i thought was very leanient ot the Castlebar lads if anything because they made 3 or 4 terrible tackles alone on Cans.As I said they had a game plan,more power to them and we bore the brunt of some very late challanges for which yellows were not given so I really dont know where 352 is comin from.

The second half was them soakin it up again an again an attackin on the break,which they were good at in fairness.The 3 sendin offs were fairly straight forward accordin to the ref.The first for them,their player was on a yellow an mis controled the ball and when we broke he tripped our player,second yellow gone.Then we really put them under pressure an had 7 corners in the last 15 mins the last of which we managed to beat their keeper only for their center half to clear it with his hand,peno an straight red.Thats them down to 9 men an us with a peno to be taken with 2mins left.Figo was trying to place the peno when a Castlebar player kicked the ball from his hands,Figo pushed him away an the ref sent Figo off.Madness on the part of the official,he lost it big time.He should have booked them both an told them to cop on and if I was to be cynical I'd say Castlebar knew what they were doin at the time.

Jp put the peno away an we went into extra time where we knew with the extra man we could win it and we battered them for the 20 mins with them just hoofin it away and tryin to catch us on the break.We tryed an tryed but we just could'nt put it in the back of the net.Even when it went to penos we thought we could still do it .Smithy got his hands to their first an it just dribbled over the line and the rest is history.We played great stuff but it counts for nothin because they won.

We have all played in those games where you give 110% and still end up loosin,football can pat you on the back in one second an kick ya in the rollers the next.We had the luck in the penos against New Ross,it was'nt their Saturday.We went back to the Anglers to lament what could have been an drank the night away happy in the knowledge of what might still be.You dont always get what you deserve from a game and Castlebar know they got out of jail with this one.I have no problem with them because you cant account for what some individual might write .Best of luck to Caslebar in the next round,the Gratts have still a lot to play for.;)

Yes Coady and Burns are excellent, Darren Burns has to be the most underrated and most improved player. Still we haven't kept a clean sheet in a very long time and clean sheets is what this competition is all about.
Michael's are great value at 8-1 but I couldn't bring myself to write that betting slip.
I thought the draw was next Sunday morning?

Not sure, they're only in the 2nd tier of the AUL though and the bookies were making them the biggest outsiders last week although this might change now with a home draw.

I would feel that Manor have beaten better teams than Corduff this season and should have nothinng to fear. It's a great chance for them to make it through to the semi's.

Corduff Are No Mugs.they Play In Premier B Alright But Are As Good As Most Teams In Premier A And Will Probably Get Promoted This Season!big Local Support Underestimate Them At Your Peril!

On their day Corduff can play outstanding football.

They need a little more consistency and to lose the little bit of naivety they sometimes display.

I'd disregard the division they are playing in as they would easily compete in the AUL Premier A.

The home draw is a huge advantage to them.

They've been knocking on the door for a few seasons and this could be their year, it would be perilous of Manor to ignore the quality they have or to take them for granted based on bookies odds. (How many bookies have actually seen them play?)

Will this game be played in Corduff? Somebody mentioned that it may be played in the AUL Complex?

Revised Odds:

http://odds.bestbetting.com/football...ior-cup/winner

Generous odds between the only 2 bookies offering odds!

Does anyone know what will happen with qualifying for the FAI Senior Cup?

With the new A-League there are 3 extra teams into the 2nd round so that means only 7 places for non-league teams. FAI probably don't know themselves!

That would be the Manor Rangers "lifer", affectionately known as "Rav", as in the silver haired Fabrizio Ravanelli.

Some way to win it.

I just got word that kick off for the Corduff game is at 2pm on 2nd March.

Are Manor Rangers players local? wouldn't have thought that town of with a population of 1,158 (597 male- census 2006) would have gone this far! Fair play to you! Never been to MAnorhamilton, whats the underage structure like? Best of luck in the rest of the competition!
