Third year in a row we've been drawn away to Longford. Finished 4-1 on each occasion.
Noticed that also with his use of the 'premiership' he used it twice too, hate that term, also not so bad but some call the top division here 'the premier league' how hard is it to call it 'the premier division' he seemed to take a long time too opening the home draw balls.Quote:

Away to Longford 3rd year in a row. Can't complain.
Two jerseys (Sadlier and Daly-Bütz) up on ebay since last night. Both are over €400 already, with the auction open until Friday. So far it seems people do put their money in.Quote:

A quality cup draw for the #greatestleagueintheworld hashtag. Our FAI president with his finger on the pulse there. The LoI has never had a Premiership, and the English top tier, which we must humbly genuflect before, hasn't been the Premiership since 2007. And it did look like he was going to be lapped at one stage with the prospect of the away teams being revealed first.Quote:

The scheduling of the cup has not been great this season.
The 88-89 game was my first Town game I think. I know it was Derry in Abbeycartron in 87 or 88, and I'm pretty sure it was in the cup. Huge Derry support from what I can recall.Quote:

Very disappointing for us that match changed (travel to Brandywell in midweek a lot more difficult due to work etc).Quote:

Surely going to Derry midweek is handier than going to Peterhead midweek?
I suspect slightly more would have attended the Derry game than our fixture in the Irn Bru Cup ;)Quote:

How was the draw shambolic?Quote:

Not having at least ONE of those involved looking like they wanted to be there. Not knowing the name/title of our League (nice one Prez).Delayed nature of drawing out teams. other than that it was perfect :rolleyes: probably nerves from those involved to be fair but just looked so amateurishQuote:

Thought replays in for this round?
None needed as it stands though. Cork, Dundalk and UCD all winning
Poor challenge by Meenan. Hardly any more than 600 or 700 in attendance at Longford either. Not a great showcase of the league for the cameras.
Think its replays not that it looks like there's any danger of any draws Cork, Dundalk and UCD all ahead by 2
My mistake it seems regarding replays. :(
PS must be wetting himself out at Belfield.
Waterford that bad lately, they couldn’t even give their fans a semi.
Thought the red was harsh enough. Weakened team for us but the early goals ended the game really.
1,181 officially. 4-0 now. That’s enough now Cork, thank you.Quote:

wow, WHAT a goal from Sadlier.
What’s that, 6-0, 4-1 and 5-0 (so far) in the cup three years running? Go away Cork :cry:
Edit :cry: :cry: hopefully we’ll get over this before we play Drogs next week.
7-0 is definitely harsh but delighted our lads have kept going. They have a point to prove.
Bricking it more like. 2-1 now; rash peno given away.Quote:

What a season for UCD.
Could still end up with nothing yet.
But full value for the win I thought. Some aggro between Waterford fans and a player - was it Aborah? - afterwards; not nice to see, even if it likely was mutual frustration
Dundalk in cruise control tonight, got their goals early to make it safe. Massive gulf in quality, and we couldn't compete in any way.
I hope UCD get a home draw in the semi final, win the semi final and then the final
I'm...not sure of the catch there?
This has extended our season by a week as the semi is the week after the last day of the league...or else it clashes with the play-offs?
I think we could take Bohs/Derry based on tonight. They could beat us too of course. Cork or Dundalk would beat us
