QuoteAnybody know if there's extra time and penalties in the quarter finals?
They've been on sale for months now, I bought premium tickets months ago. Good to see the FAI doing this but advertising could still be betterOriginally Posted by nigel-harps1954
Anybody know if there's extra time and penalties in the quarter finals?
It is. I understand the reasons, but I liked the concept of having replays.
Replays are a hassle at the best of times. And given the cost of fuel etc these days, an unhelpful expense. Plus - when would Rovers fit a replay into their schedule if they needed one after Sunday? It would have a knock-on effect on league games etc and affect even more teams than just them and Derry.
That's good so, it probably suits the underdog, hopefully.
Both Premier division teams losing,UCD 2 down and Waterford ahead after going 1 down....
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Treaty two up at half time from a well struck Curren penalty and a UCD defensive error that Curren pounced on. Not what I was expecting at all. We've played the better football going forward, Willie Armstrong doing well down the right, lot of hoofing from the Students to no real effect so far. Can't presume anything for the second half though, we'll tire quicker. Looks like a decent crowd, relatively speaking, the stand about 4/5ths full. UCD have brought about 15 or so?
Regrettably for the students, this is about where we are at. Got very lucky in the last round when Galway keeper threw us a freebie in the last minute, and we stole a win against Dundalk last week, but we've been hoofing the ball for nearly 3 seasons now. Myler has his own PR machine in full swing these days, but he needs more than a PR machine to cover up his failings. Fingers crossed for an unlikely 2nd half revival
Good game between Waterford and Dundalk in the RSC. Dundalk's goal was bizarre, long range shot from Doyle, keeper saves onto the crossbar but the ball spins backwards over the line when it bounces on the turf. Waterford have been good and their attack is causing Dundalk's backline a good few problems. Still up for grabs.
the 2 left in the cup after tonight irrespective of other games this weekend will be thinking a final is possible with the rub of the draw and all 4 on Sunday thinking about winning it!
If that had happened in Oriel.....
3-0 Treaty, that's one semi finalist sorted
Curren completes his hat trick with a rocket into the top corner. Looking good now.
3-1 Waterford,Dundalks season unravelling.......

Do you think that the dundalk players emerged at kick off, saw the size of the away support and thought "well if they're not bothered, why should we"?
Armstrong with a well deserved fourth. There was a period of five minutes when UCD were really piling on the pressure, Wynn made one great save, but when that was weathered it seemed done and dusted.
UCD beats us, Treaty hammers UCD, good job we didnt draw Treaty....
Again cant see any of the game but have we been caught out by a ball or 2 over the top of a high defensive line?
A Limerick team hasn't reached the decider in exactly 40 years, while it's been 18 for Waterford, so just one lucky draw away from a novel finalist!
3rd goal was a cracker anyway,nothing to do with high lines....

Imagine if Treaty or Waterford draw each other in the semi.
