Quarter-final fixtures announced:
26th May
Longford Town v Bohemians, 7.45pm
Shamrock Rovers v Cork City, 7.45pm

27th May
Derry City v Dundalk, 7.45pm
Wexford Youths v Galway, 8pm

Seems strange (and very incovenient for me) that we'd have our game on the Tuesday; Monday is a bank holiday in the north.

Shams vs City has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Fair play to them for leaving it so late to call it off.

Concerns about surface water on the pitch at the CCS. Not raining at the moment so it should dry out but kick off is delayed as they try and remove the water.

Game goes ahead.

Someone might have tripped and spilled their water bottle. That is enough to cause Tallaght to be waterlogged.

Noel Haverty sent off for punching the ball clear after a Bohs player had rounded the keeper. Stupidity. Though the peno was saved tbf!

Must have been the bottles the Bohs fans were throwing at Luke Byrne on Friday night then. You'd think it would have dried up by now.

1-0 Bohs at HT. Corcoran on 43 mins.

Town down to 9 men now. Kevin O'Connor second yellow. Still 1-0 Bohs, half an hour left.

2-0 Bohs. Corcoran again. Into injury time now.

Edit: actually Daniel Byrne not Corcoran. Not that anyone cares apart from him and his mammy

Waterlogged pitches in May.... when is the FAI going to insist on nice artificial pitches all round?

When said pitches improve to a minimum standard :smirk:
Jokes aside I think the weather in some parts of the country yesterday was a fluke.

I think Tallaght would have been OK if the Ireland Under 19s weren't on it all week

Dundalk make 11 changes to the team that beat Sligo 3-0.

Current score Derry 0 - Dundalk 2

Finished 2-1 to Dundalk. Derry came back in the game in the second half.

I am led to believe this was certainly the case

Nah! Wide open grounds lashing rain and rovers fans can carry their umbrellas in, need to protect the gear from potential sprinklers otherwise

Would be a nice draw for a trip to the sunny south east, but of course home draw for a cup semi would be preferable

Nice to play Wexford, two teams that try to play football the right way.

Yep, it was 2008. Beat Cork 1-0 in Turner's Cross in the semi and then got a hiding from Derry in the final at Ferrycarrig on a 6-1 scoreline. Think there was about 3,500 at the final with temporary carparks and shuttle buses, etc.

Shamrock Rvs v Cork City is on tonight at Tallaght 7.45

Probably gonna be 2 second string sides with a few first teamers in need of game time thrown in.

Thank you Rovers for doubling the money I put on the game!

Lots of bookings last night, none more deserved than Kavanagh receiving a yellow card for winning the ball in this tackle

I love when people post a photo as proof that someone should/shouldn't have been booked.

99% of the time (like here) it shows nothing at all of relevance.

Of course it has relevance, there's a whole series of photos showing that incident. One player won the ball and got a yellow while the other player lunged in late with studs up, could've broken the player's leg and got a yellow. I suppose the photo showing McCabe grabbing O'Leary's windpipe, for which he received a yellow, is completely irrelevant too. :rolleyes:

This pic shows why it should have been red. Only yellow though.

Your photo could show that. It could also show the Cork lad chopping the Rovers player down from behind. Photos of football action can be very misleading.

Your idea of a series of photos has more sense to it though. You could then get an idea of what happened. Maybe we could relay them in very quick succession on some manner of screen. It be a form of vision from afar. A tele-vision, if you would.

Refer to the image above your post.

Could also easily be the result of a sweeping challenge from behind by the Cork player.

Maybe in fantasy land, and Dave O'Leary slipped and fell trachea-first into McCabe's grasp.

Retract what?

A single photo can be very misleading when judging football activities. I've shown a famous example. I find it funny how people post photos saying "Look! This is clear!" when often it's not.
