Does anyone know what the story is for the next round in terms of who gets home advantage? Another draw for that?

Also, Limerick are the only team left outside of the First Division. Is a continued presence in this tournament a sign of improvement or a disadvantage? Depending on how the First Division looks a few months from now, Pat Scully's charges might not want to be too distracted.

I think if the squad is used right then it's big enough to handle this also. If we progress it will be seen as a bonus but other than that I don't think many will be too disappointed to see Scully give some fringe players games even at the risk of being knocked out.Quote:

Pat Scully has been given more than enough resources to compete on all fronts in fairness.
Depending on the kindness of the draw, I'd like to think we'd at least be competitive.
Draw tonight on MNS,Lims please.
Dundalk or Bray away please.
Ball numbers :ball:
1: Bary Wanderers 2: Derry City 3: Drogheda United 4: Dundalk
5: Limerick 6: St Patrick's Athletic 7: Shamrock Rovers 8: Sligo Rovers.
A fix if I've ever seen one...
Sligo v Derry
Drogs v Dundalk
Pat's v Rovers
Bray v Limerick
The lads couldn't keep a straight face!
Surely if they were fixing it they would have kept the 2 Rovers, Pats and Derry apart?
I knew the early rounds were regionalised, didn't know the Quarter final would be too lol
Bray away, not too bad. Well capable of getting a result there. Of course, league standings (that is, distractions) could be very different for both clubs by the time that game comes around.
Also gives me an excuse to take the gf's advice and head down to Bray for a summers day. Happy with that.
Christ sake Stuart Byrne was sat looking into the cup when picking out the numbers!!!Quote:

Any Bray Fans know the kick off time tomorrow night, 7:45 or 8? It doesn't seem to be up on our site or the Bray one.
Extratime have it down as 7.45

Yeah 100% a 7.45pm koQuote:

Would think we will have a decent mix so should be strong enough. Have a few players like Gary Sheehan and Dominic Foley coming back from injury and Stephen bradley back from suspension so they could get a start and our defense should be pretty much full strength.
AFter a 3 week break Limerick will be full strength tonight it Will be a tough game but were well capable of winning.
It is extratime and penalties if a draw right? Trying to calculate my last possible leaving time so I don't get stranded in Bray or Connolly...
Yes. No one wants a League Cup replay!Quote:

No joke, I was going to put 50 quid on Lims as well as a tenner double on lims/drogs, but then got dragged away from the laptop for 20 mins, come back and Limerick are winning. I'm well and truly ****ed off now..
Limerick were 7/4 to win, with a full squad, great odds
