Their in the FAI Cup 'cos of their results last year and the third round 'cos of their results this year. Grow a pair.:)
Actually I think Wexford Youths will have it over them, but they'll give them a game.
That's the general opinion here. No one thinks it will be easy but we do expect to go throughQuote:

Limerick 37 vs. Cork City - Away Win
St. Pats vs. Longford Town - Home Win
Kildare County vs. Fanad United - Draw
Athlone Town vs. Finn Harps - Away Win
Derry City vs. Liffeys Pearse - Home Win
Sporting Fingal vs. Cobh - Home win of course:D
Bohs vs. Drogheda Town - Home Win
Shamrock Rovers vs. Sligo Rovers - Draw
St. Mary's vs. Wayside Celtic - Draw
I can see a lot of replays this weekend.
My banker is Bohemians and I can see an upset with Rockmount beating Bray.
Fatal.Quote:

If you cant beat them, I will erase myself from foot before I even get started.:ball::ball::ball:Quote:

Despite our shocking history in the cup, I personally wouldn't be too bothered if Waterford knock us out, much more important things to focus on this season and its not as if we are going to win the bloody thing, all the 'big boys' avoided each other in last 32 drawQuote:

The FAI Appeal Committee today considered an appeal by Kildare County against a decision of the Domestic Football Committee to instruct the club to play their Ford FAI Cup third round game against Fanad United on Saturday 7th. June.
On learning that they had been drawn at home several of the County players took it for granted that the game would be on Friday night as is usual for the club and booked to depart on their holidays on Saturday morning.
Fanad United looked for the game to take place on Saturday 7th. due to the fact that one or more of their squad were sitting their Leaving Cert examination on Friday and would not be available on time to travel.
Why, they did avoid the 'big boys'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Rockmount look best placed to cause an upset in this round, but they've had a long, hard season..... Marys were promoted in a playoff on Wed night, which went to extra time.... 'Hall host the champions which will be a really tough task, again at the end of a hard season.... Everton playing Carrick on Sunday morning would also seem to be well placed to advance.
The non-league sides (country wide) are all at the end of their seasons and it seems a difficult task to rise up to the challenges in the FAI Cup. Back in the days when the Senior Cup was in the middle of the (non-league) season, there seemed to be more media impetus, thus more interest, thus more crowds, thus more rewards (€...) for the non-league teams. :confused:
Dont think Carrick are too pushed about this cup. They have reached their Holy Grail , the FAI Junior Cup, this season and are still celebrating that success as only they can!
Surely Carrick being the best junior team in the country could be good enough against Everton.Killester beat Bangor in the last round and are as good as any Intermediate team and Carrick are as good if not better than Killester.Are Carrick taking this serious and have they any injury problems?
Exactly!!! As I said, the FAI Senior Cup seems to have lost some appeal. Is this the impact of Summer football? Junior and Intermediate Cup competitions run through the winter, and then the Junior and Intermediate sides need to row into the Summer schedule.Quote:

Nope - I disagree - Everton at home will be very difficult to overturn. I strongly fancy Everton to advanceQuote:

I will go for 2-1 Athlone or 2-2 draw ;)

PS: Hope we get knocked out and concentrate on survival
Holmes is out so thats one prediction out the window.Quote:

Some FAI Cup Predictions
St Pats 4 Longford 0
Galway 1 Waterford 1
Shels 1 Dundalk 0
Shamrock 2 Sligo 3
Withour Conor Sinnott, who is our main playmaker and Patsy Malone (either the ball or the man sometimes gets by Patsy, never both). I hear some of ours are on holidays too, which is strange. Should be interestingQuote:
