We were nowhere near the standard we actually are tonight too which didn't help but everyone has off nights might have got away with it somewhat against a team not as good on the ball as Pats. Conan Byrnes was excellent for them as was Hoare and McGrath. Not too disappointed tbh a bit that we didn't give a proper account of ourselves but get the real business finished next week and have ourselves confirmed as promoted.
For the record, it's Ringmahon Rangers. They would be considered a small club from the southside of Cork city, but are clearly doing things right at the moment as they were runners up to local rivals Ballincolig in the final of the FAI Youths Cup this year. They were considered favourites going into it afaik.Quote:

You'll be comfortable in the premier next year IMO.Quote:

Even at our best it would have been very hard to beat Pats when they are on it the way they were lastnight but its not like we will be going up with the exact same squad as this year anyway, who knows the way things go in LOI it could even be a far worse squad than we have now.
Cobh 2-0 up on Ringmahon after 15 mins.
We scored from open play!
The floodgates opened :DQuote:

Definitely. I reckon we'll need it as I don't quite see us finishing third.
Draw was on 21st last year, if that's anything to go by.
Which Rovers?Quote:

I assume he means the only one that's still in the cup.

Forecast draw and score lines
Cobh will draw UCD. It's inevitable that there'll be an all First Division tie.
Dundalk will draw Cork and Wexford will draw Pats.
After that, it's anyones guess I suppose.
By the way, you can watch the draw on RTE News Now channel in the morning.
Happy with that draw.
icymi:
FAI Cup Draw
UCD v Crumlin/Dundalk
Wexford Youths v Derry City
Shamrock Rovers v Cork City
St Pat's v Cobh
matches playing w/e 9-11 September.
Not sure what to make of facing our reserves (potentially)
Will they care? Is it a chance for us?
Also, petty quibble alert, but you're doing the draw on national telly and for this you bring in a bucket you found down the back of the shed last night. WTF?!
when they commissioned the new trophy they should have allowed the lid to be removed.Quote:

Two teams playing expansive, passing football. In front of of a colourful, festive crowd. It should be a great match between two friendly clubs.
1-0 Cork.Maguire is a class striker.
No direct buses to Tallaght tonight by the look of the crowd.
2-0 now. Wasn't expecting this.
Looks like there'll be a few more goals yet. Good game so far. ****e crowd.
Shamrock taking to some Dundalk style cheating from a drop ball I see.
Sure there's a bus strike!Quote:
