Saw he was in the stand with Stephen Bradley, no idea why. Would maybe make sense if he let Marc Kenny take the game as it was mostly u19s, not sure why otherwise.

Did the same for the game in Longford, probably allows him a better view of some of the younger players on show. Either that or he just couldn't give 2 f*cks about the LSC. I say the latter 😂Quote:

He does not seem to care about many trophies since he went to TallaghtQuote:

It was an enjoyable match played at a decent tempo and definitely more interesting then seeing the established first teamers going through the motions. I also never tire of seeing Rovers take a hiding!
Latest scores in tonights games, both 19:45 kickoffs.
Athlone Town 0-0 Wexford Youths
Longford Town 0-1 Drumcondra
Both finished now.
Athlone Town 1-2 Wexford Youths (aet)
Longford Town 2-1 Drumcondra
kealon dillon with a sublime freekick a few mins aftr comin on as sub and noel haverty near the end. Drums took the lead with a sublime lob. impressed with Drumcondra though drums player didnt deserve to go in 1st half
A sublime free by Dillon is going a bit too far Marty. It took a massive deflection off a head in the wall and totally changed the direction of the ball. It was our under 19's and fringe players who started with Dillon, Simon and Haverty coming on in second half. Drums were down to 10 men very early on when their striker slid in on Molloy and connected with Molloys face with his studs. Great to see Pat Flynn get a good run out tonight.
Are you saying it was sub-sublime?Quote:

Disappointed with some of the younger players, I know they wouldn't be use to playing in competitive senior games against quite physical grown men but had expected more from a few.
wot I meant by sublime is that I saw the goal from behind the goal!!:o
UCD were playing Crumlin on the astro in Crumlin last night. Not sure what score it finished.
3-2 to ucdQuote:

What are they doing - mailing individual pairings out to the two clubs involved? Do they know what a website is for (home page currently has January fixture lists ... more up to date than usual)?
Anyone care to share their news here?
No news from any of the other clubs left in the draw. Surely they would have been emailed as well. No wonder clubs don't take this competition seriously when the organisation is so bad.Quote:

Is the Leinster FA the same people that run the Leinster Senior League?

Apparently you can't copyright fixtures so they were made look mugs.
They are an amateur minowistic sham of an organisation so it's no surprise there is no official draw details.
They've blocked me on Twitter the gimps! Can't think why.
Fairly sure you can - it's why very few sites will carry advance fixtures for the English leagues (apart from the immediately upcoming game). You've to pay to reproduce the full fixture list.Quote:

UCD v Bluebell is another q/final as per Twitter.
At at this rate the 3rd quarter final pairings will be announced next week. This competition is the best kept secret
That leaves Dundalk, Bohs, Bray, Shamrock Rovers/Collinstown

Collinstown v Bray according to Wanderers Facebook page.
So what have we got?
Wexford v Longford - or is it Longford v Wexford?
UCD v Bluebell
Collinstown v Bray
Dundalk v Bohs - or is it Bohs v Dundalk?
This is like the 19th century FA Cup draws, which were published in the paper and clubs were expected to spot the draw and get on with it.
Bohs v Dundalk on Mon 4 April
Wexford are the home sideQuote:

If I'm not wrong, is the Malone Cup just a preseason competition between the same two teams?Quote:
