I'd say, considering they'd more than likely be in the northern section, they'd have to travel to Donegal anyway a couple of times a year.Quote:

Derry-Drogheda on TV and it's on the Saturday evening.
Perhaps it's an idea to have the TV cup game on a standalone date?
An earlier kick-off would have suited the Drogs fans more, but RTÉ calling the shots, and mightn't have been the biggest audience for a mid-afternoon match.
The Friday is the first night of the Premier League and Liverpool are on TVQuote:

Could always have gone with Sunday. Now that the GAA & womens Euros are over, there's not much sport for them on Sundays.Quote:

Unlikely there’d go up against (or anywhere either side of) a Man United vs Arsenal 16:30 kickoff on the sundayQuote:

'Simon's Webb'....now that was mediocre
He was a damn fine fullback though.Quote:

FAI Cup Round 3
Friday 15th August
Finn Harps v Bray Wanderers
Kerry v Cobh Ramblers
Cork City v Waterford
Salthill Devon v Galway United
Bohemians v Sligo Rovers
Saturday 16th August
Derry City v Drogheda United
Sunday 17th August
Shamrock Rovers v Longford Town
St. Pats v Shelbourne
What do most consider the most attractive game from the Friday fixtures?
Obviously the Saturday game is on TV and on Sunday the Pats v Shels game is the obvious choice!
Looking forward to An ClassicĂn in Galway on Friday night, should be a bit of craic. It'll be nice to be at a non-segregated match
I think Pats Shelbourne is the big match of the weekend, both currently outside Europe places for next season so the cup is mega important to both.
Im hoping for a draw for the next round of ,
Harps, Kerry,Cork,Galway,Sligo, Drogs,Shamrock Rovers, Shels,.....and we are at home to Kerry :)
When is the draw?
RTE are showing Derry Drogs game Sat. That would be my game of weekend, Think Derry ave really lost their form since losing to Sligo so ave to make Drogs heavy favs to win!
Sure there would be no realistic way to segregate there even if they wanted to :D "Could Galway supporters please stand behind the section of taped off sideline to the left of the entrance gate to the pitch cage, and Devon fans behind the taped-off section of sideline to the right of the gate :oQuote:

I believe we havent had much interest in the game on Saturday night as tickets seem to be slow moving at this stage.
Thats what happens when our form takes a nose dive.
Thanks. A sensible decision here.Quote:

Think so and they've put a hybrid year in to help the transfer over....whatever that is.Quote:

The bookies have us at 1.5, with Drogs at 6.5. Drogs lost 3-0 in the Brandy in June, but those odds seems way off. I think the RTÉ cameras are in for a woeful game of football.Quote:

Not a Liverpool fan, but that's uncalled for!
Anyway, after Cobh were reduced to ten men in the first minute, Cian Brosnan has given us a 1-0 lead.
its true though - grief junkiesQuote:

I presume there's extra-time in all rounds, certainly would have gone all the way if required in our tie against Athlone in round two.
Bohs sucker punched again. When we missed
The penalty I knew it wouldn't be our night fair play to Sligo, they took their chance and we didn't.Quote:

3 games from Europe in possibly the first year Kerry can qualify for Europe if the 3 year rule still applies!!!
Four upsets in the five ties tonight going on league positions, and two of the top six to get knocked out over the weekend.
Could be set for a new face in the final - or some good old-fashioned drubbings in the quarters or semis
A good regional mix at any rate, between the provinces in one aspect, and between rural and urban clubs in another.
