You're gas... somehow if you pox Rovers and get a home draw, you might actually get more than 24 people at Flancare for a game.

And yet we haven't had to rebrand. Besides I'd be disappointed if we didn't get at least 25

Anyone know when the semi final draw is on ? Those matches usually scheduled for the August BH weekend, usually that Monday.

And yet you're still a nothing club that nobody gives a shyte about, even your own pathetic supporters base. You're back where you belong, irrelevance.

Not according to the genius above, although he didn't mention Cork City along with ourselves for some reason. I think I know why though... Listen sorry but you're far too irrelevant to manifest some sort of rivalry with, try Cabinteely, you both probably have a similar amount of Dub journeymen in your team along with a few of our cast offs.

How does this work? That clubs can come and go, cut loose their debt but can cherry pick to keep former glories aspect of the former club or entity.

Rovers missed some outrageous chances first half but Town were actually starting to get on top second half and got caught on the break with a sucker punch for the goal. Great effort from our lads (wasn't impressed with rovers at all albeit their B team)

This attempt to create a Galway-Longford rivalry is my favourite since some Sligo fans on here tried to kick off a rivalry with Finn Harps and the Harps fans laughed at them.

The FAI must be wondering what balls they need to put in the microwave now that Pats and Rovers aren't both options.

I hope not, we've never won a penalty shoot out, except that one against Hibs in the "Capital of Culture Cup".

It was good to see Boyd, Dillon Haney, English etc get a bit of game time they are all good players that have a decent future ahead of them.
Dillon is normally a great finisher, missed a few last night.
9 changes from last Friday but several of those who came in are really first teamers. Longford were ok on the night you could see that they are running into form a bit. Still think Clarke is a phenomenal player hopefully we can hang on to him.

I've vague memories of Cork beating Dundalk on away goals in a previous version league cup final, possibly around 92/93.

Galway also beat Dundalk in the final in Tolka, must have been 85 or 86, I`ll guess 85.

Before my time, but we beat Dundalk 2-1 in 1994/95. Galway beat Dundalk 2-0 in 85/86. As it happens Galway beat us 4-2 in 96/97. We haven't won the LC since 1998/99. Beat Rovers 2-1. 1-1 draw in Tolka and 1-0 in Cork.

In the days of Noel Mooney we used to win them as nobody was able to score penalties on him. It was strange actually come to think of it.

Against who? I genuinely don't remember us ever winning a penalty shoot out.

There were a few. One in particular against Derry away. I'm pretty sure Mooney saved 3 penalties.

19 years ago. Some of our current side weren't even born.

You've lost on penalties up here too. Behan, of all people, missed when we beat ye in the Cup in 2008.

Thanks for the link. I do not remember that game at all.

Pretty sure he had a dislocated shoulder during that shoot out.

speaking of penalty shootouts El Pietro when we beat ye on penos in 05 in Turners Cross in the League cup was there a programme produced for this game as I couldnt make the game and have difficulty in sourcing a copy.

Semi Final draw:
Rovers vs City
Galway vs Dundalk

Rovers v Cork will be a tasty affair, glad we avoided that side of the draw, although Galway will have no fears playing Dundalk, think they have beaten us in our last two visits there, both in the league, and a EA Sports cup semi in 2015 on pens.

Both matches set for August BH Monday.

A lot could have changed for the clubs by the time these games come along.

Rovers, Cork and Dundalk could all still be in Europe and/or title race. Galway could be bottom of the league.

The FAI Cup is the following weekend so it probably won't be the priority for most.

A semi final is a semi final, Rovers will be up for it.
Hope we still have Trevor Clarke by then

I agree! It is good to keep the trophies ticking over even the EA Cup and LSC as it helps foster that know how to win or get it over the line thinking.

Seems a bit nuts not to get these games outof the way in May/early June before Europe kicks in for 3 of the teams

That would be ideal alright wouldn't it. I know it would be guesswork because all 3 teams could be out of Europe by then, hopefully not of course.

Yeah I'd like to think we will be playing a strong team for this. Not ideal that we are away to drogheda the Friday before

Dundalk cruising into the final. When is the final scheduled for? Usually mid September I think.
