Derry are struggling with niggles and injuries however I don't think that is an excuse at all.
There is no reason why we couldnt use some of our under 20s and feed in some of the young boys that have been on the peripheral like that young fella Liam Kelly (Player of the tournament in the supercup)
Derry away to warm weather on Monday aswell. A game before that would have been good.
I'd say if it were at home vs Harps for them they would of played it, apart from possibly Sligo no other LOI club would of brought a sizeable away support to a friendly in the BrandywellQuote:

Agreed. I think it's poor form.Quote:

Kerry FC 2-0 Cobh Wanderers
Through to the quarter finals after a victory over Cobh Wanderers. Sean McGrath with a volley and Sean O'Connell. Next up will be another Cork Senior League side.
Didn't this happen with Derry last season or season before too?
Won 4-1 against Athlone with two goals from the Hugh Martin lad, looks like he's part of the first team squad afterall.Quote:

Ringmahon Rangers 2-1 Treaty AET.
Great game in Mayfield between Ringmahon and Treaty. Nine of the fifteen players in the squad from the 20s, three of the other five are still eligible for 20s I think. Treaty sending a stronger squad to play Sligo Rovers in Mayo this Saturday afternoon.
Matt Jones the star of the show for Treaty. A terrible individual error led to the equaliser and a non existent penalty with the last kick of ET gave Ringmahon the win. Should have been up 3-0 but that's life.
Lucas Keating has reffed two of Treaty's three pre season games and he has been shocking. He's lucky that he's Hennessy's sidekick.
Treaty's blasé approach to the MSC being a reflection of a club who have picked up the baton dropped by Limerick FC. Same ground. Same supporters more or less. Making an FAI Cup semi final v Derry or progression in the MSC not a big deal for Limerick FC - Treaty United folk.
Weird post, not sure your issue with Limerick Senior Football.Quote:

Ringmahon was a good litmus test for a predominantly 20s side. Don't think there would be any other opportunity for them to play a good men's team in a competitive setting.
Amateur? No way was Enda Curran playing for ye for the love of LimerickQuote:

For a new club like Kerry - getting to an FAI Cup semi final and going on a run in the MSC is a big deal. It is nothing like that for Limerick FC - Treaty United managers, players and supporters.
TBF, Legendz, I agree with Shearer here - no point worrying about what other clubs do until we have some meaningful achievements of our own to talk about, not that a Cup semi and MSC final are nothing, but to build proper rivalries in Munster, reaching the playoffs are a must.
Do people care about the MSC? The LSC is a joke of a tournament, badly organised and now effectively glorified pre-season friendlies, often on the same day or within 24 hours of a first-team match. I'd find it bizarre if it were suggested that a blase approach to the LSC were a criticism of a club. The MSC feels slightly better organised, but still similarly minor stuff.
Well, given Kerry are unlikely to ever win the FAI Cup (although given Longford did so in the past, not impossible for rural clubs), it's about the only meaningful opportunity for silverware, which is why you saw a virtually first-choice XI last night, and Cobh certainly appreciated their successes in the tournament in recent seasons.
Dundalk beat UCD 5-1 away last night, Eoin Kenny got 2, Danny Mullen, Harvey Warren and Arubi, seemed a full strength line up.
Is this ragebait?Quote:

Are you upset about another club's attitude to a cup competition?
Treaty getting to an FAI Cup Semi-Final is and was a big deal. It was the third team in 28 years it happened to a senior club in the city - the other two times it happened (93/94 & 2017) where when they were competing in the Premier Division. They lost by the odd goal to the eventual winners who leathered Shelbourne.
It's not like Treaty hit the reset button and started again with the exact same people. There is plenty of players and staff who were part of the previous regime, but plenty of new people too. Limerick is a small place and if you were to cast aside those who went before you wouldn't be long running out of options.
Treaty United 2-1 winners against Sligo Rovers in Westport.
Cian Curtis and a trialist on the mark.
