So lads, the draw for the Semi - Finals of the EA Sports Cup will be made tomorrow, who do we all want ? Here's my ideal draw :
Waterford United .V. U.C.D.
Sligo .V. Bohs
What's everyone's ideal draw ?
Draw is made behind closed doors isn't it? Can't see them putting two Premier teams together if so...they'll want them in final;).
Ideally for us, UCD or Waterford at home please. Waterford away would be a disaster travel wise.
Sligo away on the Bank Holiday wll do me. Winnable game, no programme to do and could head up to it handy enough.
UCD at home please!
It would be on Tuesday probably because one of us is playing on the previous Saturday.Quote:

Ah yes, Longford away.
Waterford away so; would make that of a Tuesday
Anyone know what the story with the draw is? What time it's at and is it just gonna appear on LOI website, hardly on MNS is it? Well organised and publicised once again:rolleyes:.
Isn't it live on MNS? Thought that was announced at the time.
It was announced as live on MNS alright.
Nice one, we'll get Bohs away so:).
Seriously.
I could have sworn they said it was Live on MNS.
Hopefully UCD -V- WUFC, Sligo -V- Bohs.
As far as I know it's live on MNS alright.
Ideal draw for us is Waterford v either Bohs, Sligo or UCD. :D
So I wasn't imagining it.!:D Couldn;t find that earlier.Quote:

(It's a lovely Bank - Holiday Monday down here in the South - East. I am sitting out in the garden, with the sun reflecting onto the keys of my lap - top. It's burning the fingers off of me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
At home to Waterford or UCD who be great but I wouldnt complain if we got UCD away I just dont want Sligo or Waterford away until the final
It's 28 C down in Cork.Quote:

3rd/4th Aug.
First Division side in the final for the second year running.
Bohs V Sligo
UCD V Waterford
I love nutty conspiracy theories!
Fair play to Tony McDonnell, looking at the balls when picking. Handiest draw for UCD of course;)
Yay! Another nutty conspiracy theory! :p
I genuinely hope we lose. Care more about betting than the League Cup.
Translates to care more about betting than your own team.Quote:

In fairness, he has a point.
Have you tried this crowd?
I hope we win. I won't mind if we don't, cos it's the League Cup.
He does but he is just WUMing.:)
Translates to - he's right, but I don't want to admit it.
Or does that make me a WUM too? ;)

Sligoman's right. I think thats a ridiculous statement to have made.
Tin-Pot Trophy or not, its always better for your team to win something than to win a few measly quid on a bet.
Why wouldn't you want to see your team win a cup? Setanta Cup place(although it might not be around next year) and prize money?
I though there was no Setanta Cup place? That probably would change my opinion.Quote:

I think Dunny that is how Derry got into it, as it happened first. I suppose you could also say that's how Cork are in it, if Derry hadn't won the LC they'd have qualified through the 3rd place anyway, the fact they did means Cork's 5th place was enough. I think. :)
However, not sure of any of that as to be fair I haven't paid any real attention to the Setanta Cup at any stage until the last couple of weeks! :D
There is a Setanta Cup place for winners of LC.
peter cook was a massive spurs fan, but always without fail in every game bet against them - "if we win im happy, if we lose im happy!!!!!"Quote:

There's been a Setanta Cup spot for the League Cup since the last time we were in the final (when the FAI waited until the day of the semi final before giving the extra spot to the League Cup, having waited as long as possible to see if Shels' league form picked up; then we went and beat Shels anyway. :) )
That said, if there's no Setanta next year, there's no Setanta Cup to worry about.
