Bradley certainly seems to have one eye on Sunday with the team he’s picked tonight. Probably sensible. Pats and Sligo both paid the price after European games by going out of the cup. No doubt he’s conscious of that.Quote:

Tomorrow might suit us. We've struggled in recent weeks to break down teams sitting deep against us, Derry should be the favourites and approach the game as such so we might get some more opportunities.
At the other end of the field we have been very good all year, with Harrington attracting interest from abroad, so we should be able to keep it tight, but Derrys attack is going to be a very different proposition to the First Division.
Looking forward to the trip, the first division doesn't offer many appealing away games outside of Galway this year.
Trying to decide where to invest my €7 tonight.
Galway v UCD or Wexford v Dundalk.
Havent watched a stream from either before but i seem to remember Galway stream production being criticised somewhere, any advice out there ?
I watched Galway v Drogs feed a couple of years ago and though it was quite good. Also, the stadium looks much better - which makes a difference.
Galway have been using pixellot camera for their streams this year and it's dreadful. Not sure if that changes with the cup, but Wexford have been putting together a better stream from the bits I've seen.

Pretty poor that a club with Premier league aspirations like Galway are using Pixellot
Get through tonight ok and then hope for a nice home draw in the next round. You get the feeling the cup could open up for someone outside the Top 4.
Was he a buddy of Lancelot ? Or is it the female singer you're talking about here ?Quote:

It's about 1k, apparently. Great job selling it out.Quote:

Derry showing us the difference in quality between the Premier and First Division. Pity about the penalty as apart from that there hasn't been many clear cut chances. We haven't got forward much bit we have shown a bit of spark at times. More of the same to start the second half, see if we can get to 60mins without conceding and try to be a bit braver and who knows.
Bonagee conceded right on half time,it’s been tough sledding for them…
Keating sent off for us in what looks to be a ridiculous decision from the ref.
Caulfield possibly under pressure; 2-1 UCD with half an hour to go, as their league form goes south too
Dundalk losing in Wexford.
If Rovers are too busy to win the Cup, things could really be opening up for a different final
Just tuned into the last 5 mins of the wexford dundalk game.. Why do dundalk persist with the suicidal high line at the back??? Any junior team would cop onto thst and just hit runners over the top. O'Donnells stock will drop rapidly if they lose this one.
Shels go two up in Donegal, so Maynooth remain the best non-league prospect for a upset.
Galway and Dundalk both level and Shels 2 up in Letterkenny,that should be that anyway…
Nope - late winner for the Students it seems?
3-2 up; 2 to go
Makes the playoffs interesting again!
Will Caulfield even be there by then.
Would there be extra-time or a replay in Wexford?
It's gone to extra time
Shels win 4 nil,only watched the first half and they could have been 2 or 3 up by HT tbf,far too much for the Letterkenny men…
That’s a fine win away from home. Many would have fancied Galway to go through, even though their form has been iffy recently.Quote:

Great win for the students, gifted the winner by Galway and into the QF, hopefully get Waterford or Treaty there. And relegation not looking quite as assured now, the play offs may hold no fear for the lads if and when we leapfrog a manky Finn Harps outfit
Them's fighting words.Quote:

As said earlier in the thread, Cork have work to do to bring themselves up to PD standard for next year.
3-0 in the end for Treaty against Maynooth. Missed a penalty early in the second half (looked a dive to win it in fairness) and Maynooth had a good few chances in the period after, but when Treaty turned in a second off a well-worked move down the right it was pretty much game over. The third was decent, Devitt went by three players to slam in from close range. Good performance overall, though Treaty are very reliant on ball over the top. Maybe 200 or so at it? John Hyland Park a nice little ground.
41-0 to LOI clubs in the 9 games against their non league opponents in the cup this season,huge gap in quality….
Yeah seen that tweet alright. People under it suggesting he should've said it to the ref, but why would he? Deny his team an advantage? Ref wouldn't have changed his mind regardless.Quote:

Around 220 I'd estimateQuote:
