FAI Cup Latest

Dundalk v Bray replay is on tonight. Heard that Gill will play a weakened side, with Thursdays big game in mind. When is the draw for the QF?

I was at the wayside game on saturday ,great performance by wayside and deserved to go through.
Looked certain to go to a replay.No doubt about the penalty and red card at the end either.

I was at their game on Sunday, no wonder they looked tired ;)
Seriously though, no arguments about the result; It looked destined for a replay but then our centre backs couldn't deal with a straightforward punt upfield from the 'keeper.

Why has Derry's game been moved to a home match? It's hardly Kildare's fault the pitch was flooded...I assume they agreed to it?

Yep, they agreed to it. Apparently Station Road has no chance of being playable anytime soon. Kildare are probably just thinking of the money. It'll be a much bigger crowd at the Brandy. Still think it's a bit weird though, giving up home advantage. It was probably their best chance of getting through.

True, however they are in financial difficulty and a crowd of 3,000 as opposed to the c.500 they would get at Station Road, coupled with the cost of staging the match, would swing them into moving it as you said. They only stand a very marginal chance anyway...

And Sod's Law says if they won, they'd be knocked out by Wayside or Fingal in the next round.

Dundalk vs Bray is 11 minutes underway.

Dundalk 0-1 Bray Wanderers

Delighted with the result. I didn't think we'd do that well.

We had failed to find the net in 8 of our previous 9 competitive games, I had expected us to win but it's probably the 3 goals that has sfrank so happy ;)

most dundalk fans at the game seem to be happy enough with our performance, bray took their chances, that was the diff - good luck in next round

thurs was always the more important game for us v waterford

When is the draw for the 1/4 finals?
