And ashling? Can't wait to here why ashling are 9/1...Originally Posted by themerryman
Pike have beaten 2 of the better teams in limerick so far(in fairview and carew) and Ashling/balla have beaten whom?
That said I'm gonna see if I can get the paddy power odds today,I'll probably take pike at 16/1 too...too good to turn down.Didn't know ladbrokes did the fai odds,being an english company and that.
Edit: going on the draw I'd assume..

Thats right, were getting there, we have many teams at verious ages and to be honest we would love to get to the last 32 again, but this time home and then get the monster crowd out. Very very unlucky in the last few years.
but what a cup competition it is.
You are either pro or amateur, there is no in between!
it doeant matter if you 160 / 1 they wont win , leaked 3 against fairview
and could have leaked 3 against carew , cant see the likes of portmarnock
or the other stronger teams left been so wasteful..
And ashling? Can't wait to here why ashling are 9/1...
Paddy power heard ashling were given ye a hiding, beating ye 2 or 3 nil 6 or 7
weeks ago only for them to loose the heads and concede a couple of soft goals late on in the game ,so ye could barely scrape a draw
The last time i was invloved in the FAI junior ( about 10-12 years ago ) we got to the last 32 and got knockout in extra time at home. Absoulte killer, we'd knocked out Ballymun the round before when they had 3-4 junior internationals in the side and were domination the AUL. Great feeling to get to the later stages all right.
The key to this competition is the last 32, because if you can make it by home refs and hard away teams, the last 16 stage allows you to arrange neutral referees and linesmen.
But lets not talk about that stage yet, im sure any galway team will want to do a dublin team

Difficult tie. But will look forward to the Tralee challenge. I presume they are the top team in Tralee & Kerry?
Certainly used to be
Pity the odds came from ladbrokes so, If Paddy Power heard that...And refresh my memory of that score?
Pike 4 - AA 2 wasn't it?
Tough draw for us but really looking forward to it. Castlebar will start as favourites but we will be well up for it and we have home advantage!
Are they top in Mayo League at the moment?
Anyone associated with, or know anything about New Ross Celtic. We drew them away. What is the standard of the Wexford league like? Another Munster Senior League team were also drawn against Wexford opposition in Forth Celtic.
Home to Kilmallock, we couldn't have asked for better to be honest. Might be a tough game all the same but at least they aren't an unknown package and we're at home. How are they doing in 1A this year?
Mama Mia!!
The Mayo league is a Summer league and is now over with Celtic finishing third. The teams are only playing in FAI and Connacht Cup competitions now and they are unlikely to be as fit as you guys. If Celtic play their young guns that won the FAI Youth Cup last season they should give you a good game, but home venue is a clear advantage for you.
No we (Westport) won the league and a cup, Castlebar won the other cup, but with cup finals, league games , Junior Cup and Connacht cup have kept them playing up to now, they will be fit and will add many of their FAI U21 Squad to the panel. They will be a good team, be prepared for them.
Dont always say what you know, but always know what you say.
Aisling are probably getting those odds because we got to the last 16 in last years FAI and the quarter final the year previous?
Lisselton would be top team in Kerry ATM IMO after beating Tralee Dynamos and Killarney Celtic recently,they can both play and mix it up if necessery as u wud expect a kerry side wud.
Tralee Dynamos play really neat football and wud be the best ball playing team which will help them at these stages in the fai cup, best of luck dynamo.
No, Westport would be the top team in Mayo at the moment, even though we played them three times this season winning two and drawing the other. Based on our current from (justed managed to overcome a Div 1 team in last Rd) and lack of weekly games and home advantage Tralee will be clear favourites. Celtic has concentrated on the Eircom U-21 this season and have no settled side. We are looking forward to the trip. Do you have a clubhouse bar, hope so.
there a very avearage 1st div side in galway,they beat a very understrength hibs side away from home and they beat salthill at home who aren't half as strong as last year,having said that there capable of beating barcelona at home,send down your c team ye mite have some chance,but if you send down lads that can play forget about it,they have no dressing rooms and you have 2 go through 2 fields to get to the field(pitch)it'll prob be the worst pitch ye have ever played on or will ever play on,and thats been very nice about it!
if u got no socks,u can't pull them up!
Because Pike have to play Portmarnock and Balla have to play Kilmallock, therefore Balla have the easier tie and therefore currently Balla should have a better chance of winning the FAI. Now can you get your head around that at all?
The match I saw Pike went 1 down in 1st ten mins that woke them up..were 4 1 up with 2 mins to go (could have been 6/ 7)and AA were given a soft peno in the last min....that said did you ever know a bookie to be wrong.
