Is the next FAI Cup draw on Monday?
I assume so, but don't know for sure. Next round's the end of September, so it'd want to be soon.
Don't think bobby will be doing the draw again anyway.Did you see his face when he drew out dublin city in the last draw?He thought they must've been a big team by the name,it was funny at the time.Should be on rte at about 6:30 or slightly earlier whatever day it's on.
I'd say Monday too. I've emailed the FAI anyway to see what(if any) they say.
I'd say the Draw will be monday week after the replays have been sorted out.
I'd love Shams at home
true.but harps[if they beat athlone] away would be class too....
GIve me Killester at home. Would think the winner of Shels/Derry the team to avoid
I'd like Derry at home. They've got to be put out at some stage if someone else is to win the cup. Better to get them slap bang in the middle of their fixture congestion and far away from Derry. Their fans also make a better occasion that anyone else. I wouldn't fancy our chances but there's no European spot for finishing runner up to them so may as well get them over and done with. Also hope the winners of Harps/Athlone draw Killester so there's a lower placed team left in the semi finals.
Anybody.
Anywhere.
While some people may find that very arrogant, you've got a right to say it! Derry are the team to avoid in the draw. While I know we're not through yet, I'm confident of going through and I feel we could beat any of the teams on any given day apart from Derry.
I've have a very bad feeling we're gonna get a **** draw-Derry away:eek:. Hope not. Also hope Killester don't get Derry, don't wanna make it easy for them;)
Nah, don't want to get that close to the cup with the torment of knowing Derry stand in the way. It'd also be the first game after they get back from Paris as long as it isn't pushed with their rearranged schedule. I imagine UCD v Derry would have a fair chance of being televised.
The first division teams,derry,I'm reliablely informed that wford and longford are still sh*te by tv3 and supporters I meet at internationals and ucd are ucd,gritty and tough to beat if you don't play good football.Sligo seem alright from what I've seen on tv3 but do they pass the ball or hoof it?
Anyone at home or Derry,Harps,Killester or Shams away would do me.
If we get yous in the cup we'll bring up atleast 600 or 700 and this is a first division club.We've been bringing around 200-300 all around Ireland consistently this year,the cobh trip was great with a great crowd.If yous were in our situation you'd have about 600 at home games as you did for years.Enjoy your trip on the derry bandwagon while it lasts,meanwhile we'll just support our club through thick and thin and wait for the enevitable sixteenth league trophy.
Longford played the ball on the deck on the two occasions I've seen them play this season. UCD are tough to beat because we have a solid defence as well as a team who play the ball on the ground.
And would you drop the condescending attitude just because people don't agree with you.
nshoop, can you relax a little. Maybe wait ten minutes after reading apost to respond to it...
Why no Euro spot for the Cup runners up if we qualified for Europe through the league ?
But that would risk aving a dreadful looking stadium as the home veneue fro a televised semi-final - which wouldn't be good for the league.Quote:
