yep I was it. We werent great in first half. Firhouse had only one chance on goal all game and took it well. They were very agressive in their challenges. It was a much weakened side. We only could put out five subs due to injuries. It was only when Sully came on that we dominated and we had two great chances in the space of a few mins. Mulhalls was the best chance near the 90th. How he didnt score I never know. I wont lose sleep over the result as we have far more important things to think about!Quote:

South Dublin Derby as Pat Devlin brings his side including a host of former UCD players to Belfield. Both sides are playing well in the league and this should be a great match in sunny, pastoral UCD Bowl. #COYBIB #UCDFANS
UCD 2-1 Cabo.
Two of the scrappiest goals you will ever see. And another one.
Daft competition though
Any word on when Pat's v Firhouse is?
It's the only game not scheduled yet - no idea why. It's just about two and a half months now since Pats played the last round.
So it's Shels and UCD into the semis. Dundalk v Thomastown on Monday, 15th May and Pat's v Firhouse TBC.
The semis were played around this time last year so it's fallen behind this year! Pat's aren't exactly inundated with fixtures.
Dundalk 6-0 Thomastown United FT
So is this is Dundalk, Shels & UCD into the semi final, last spot will be the winners of Pats/Firhouse.
The excitement is building !
The last of the quarter-finals, Firhouse v St Pat's, will be played in Richmond Park on August 8th.
Quick tidy up.
Shelbourne beat Pats on Monday in Richer in the s/f and are through to the final.(0=1)
Dundalk play UCD in the other s/f on Tues September 19th at the Bowl.
Leinster Senior Cup Semi-Final
Tuesday 19th Sept 2017
UCD AFC v Dundalk FC, UCD Bowl, ko 19:45
Two footballing sides, with plenty in common, taking each other on in an entertaining, competitive cup tie. The best of talent and young talent in Ireland.

Can't wait to see how UCD's players get on against the players they'll replace at Dundalk in two years.
LSC Semi-Final
Tuesday 19th September 2017
UCD AFC v Dundalk FC, UCD Bowl, ko 19:45
The Lilywhites going for another national cup. There's been football connections between the sides in recent seasons. Both teams want a Final spot and it'll will be an enjoyable, cracking game between two attacking footballing sides.

It's patently not national, but provincial.Quote:

We got to the semis last year as well. The semi was confirmed with three days' notice. Basically we agreed with Bohs that if neither of us needed a replay in the second round of the FAI Cup, we'd play our LSC semi on the Monday instead.
I don't think it's possible to be taking a match too seriously when it's arranged like that.
I'd like to see us play a 19s team tomorrow - maybe with a couple of first-teamers to help them along - as it'd be the nearest thing to a European game they'd get ahead of the home tie with Molde next Wednesday
Kurtis Byrne and Roberto Lopez scored two goals each in last years final when Bohs lift the venerable trophy.
You only have to look at the extraordinary trajectory in their careers since to realise the importance of doing well on the big stage.
UCD and Dundalk players will be desperately looking to get to the final to get the platform to impress Stephen Bradley, Liam Buckley and a host of other scouts
Full-strength Shels beat half-strength Bohs and Pats teams on the way. Rovers took is very seriously indeed but were worn down by the Thomastown powerhouse.Quote:

UCD catfight brewing here.
Can't see what was posted (though I can broadly guess).
But every club's got that one fan, I'm sure. Even us, and we've no fans.
Ouch and meowQuote:

Into extra time again.
UCD first team v Dundalk reserves. Which is a bit confusing as going by the past few years, UCD are Dundalk's reserves
And we lose 6-5 on penalties again. Exact replica of the League Cup game
Many people at it ?Quote:

Whatever about its merits, the LSC really is the most appallingly run tournament imaginable. No promotion or schedule or anything; just random games which either happened last week or will happen in a month's time.
Its a very nice old fancy trophy not made of tin - what more do people want, rules and advance fixture lists??
I like the stupidity of the LSC. It's so badly organised it's endearing.
It's a somewhat accurate reflection of how football is administered in Ireland. Maybe it's the purest competition we have.Quote:

Its a smaller tournament but seems to be managed better. LOI teams enter in pre season, we usually get about up to the semi finals before the league starts and then the final is played in the next couple of months, depending on availability of the finalists. Great tournament, with loads of history (was won by Royal Engineers, who also won the FA Cup), and a nice trophy to boot. I'm always happy when we win it, and was annoyed that we went 9 years without winning it before this season.Quote:

Final to be played in Oriel Park on Wednesday, 4th October. Kick-off at 7:45pm
I suppose that will mean we play a second sting team against Rover on Sunday?Quote:
