Only 17 (for a few more days). He's had a busy few months with Irish schoolboys (scored winner v England), Pats under 19s (helped win the league) and he had his last day of secondary school yesterday too.Quote:

Cork v Pats penalty shoot out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnQatkCawGY
Is it a coin toss and then Captains decision which end the shootout happens? Great penalties from Pats and into the shed end. I think the silence ala rugby is more likely to be a distraction than the expected jeering.
I also think a hush of silence is worse for a player standing up to take a penalty. Don't expect anything less though from those Munster folk..soon as someone mentions penalty there's a chorus of 'ssshhh' around the ground ;)
Cork conceding penalties would be novel considering they never tackle or foul, maybe that rattled them a bit!
Very badly marketed by the looks of things
Aye in Cork's absence of any marketing they should take a leaf out of Brays marketing plan of having the PA system so loud the entire city knows there's a game on!
Semi final draw is on Wednesday at 2pm
Rovers v Pats
Galway v Dundalk
Scheduled for Monday August 3rd unless something better turns up.
Nice bank holiday trip over to the west. :)
Unfortunately we'll be busy in the third round of the Champions League qualifiers so may have to rearrangeQuote:

Semi-Finals.
Shamrock Rovers v St Pat. Athletic 4PM
Galway Utd. v Dundalk FC 5PM
No extra time please the league match in a few days seems to have taken the edge off our game.It would be nice to make the final but wouldn't be in tears the three points next Friday is much more important.
Extra time, penalties and a few injuries for Pats and Dundalk would be nice!
I'm easily pleased, I demand at least the treble - the only club of the modern era to do since old Derry City folded!Quote:

Treble talk sidestepped by Kenny as Dundalk head west
Dundalk manager Stephen Kenny has refused to discuss the possibility of a domestic treble heading into today's EA Sports Cup semi-final in Galway.
Wishing injuries on teams now? Cool,really cool!!Quote:

I wish injuries on everyone. In fact, being a Harps fan, I've largely grown to encourage injuries to opposition players.Quote:

Why would you not want Shams getting a few injuries?Quote:

Two games, two 0-0s, two 4-2 on penaltieses. Poor game in Tallaght, wind ruined it for both teams but Pats deserved it on the balance of play. Ah well, at least I can watch the final on TV.
Still says 1928 on that badge, and that honour is secure for another year.Quote:

No, they weren't playing Finn Harps.Quote:

First half wasn't bad but the second half was a stinker, both sides had chances to win it. Imo Tuite should just retire he has really gone poor , made the handy calls but none tough ones. When Brennan blazed the first peno over I thought we were in trouble but a great save by O'Malley & thr wind causing havo for O'Connor saw us into the final. A home draw in the final please.
News from Eamonn Deacy Park -
Dundalk send a boy on a mans errand and get thumped.
John Delaney attends LOI match shocker
Hmm. Slight overreaction thereQuote:

Every right to be delighted with that win. Be something wrong with a football fan if they weren't IMO
Dundalk may look back and think only starting 4 first team regulars was a mistake, but we did the same last year in the competition in all rounds and even played only 6 or 7 in the final, and we won it.
Best of luck to Galway in the final, I think it would be great if they hosted it too.
Hopefully the final is in Terryland. I reckon it would help give a good boost to Galway & the promotion of the team in the city.
