Any chance the nerds could fix it that the Rovers/Fingal game is on the 19th??

Not after you doubted us, no.

Only yourself to blame...

Why'd ya bother posting that up when you obviously didn't know it was right?

**thesilverfox** · 06/05/2009, 12:55 PM

its an absolute joke how i get a text msg saying its at home and then read its away. the fai is a joke for even leaking the draw on club websites when it should be up on loi.ie as soon as the draw was made.

that being said i'll take fingal.

The UCD website has a long history of Errors, Omissions and Presumptions. Some of the imputter(s) on the site were perhaps trained up on Foot.ie in Accuracy and Accountability.

Love the way Cup draws are leaked in this country.

Is this another example of foot.iers giving everyone else a bad name in complaining about the FAI/LoI when the information is available?

What are you on about? There was nothing on the LOI site about the draw at 11:31. It wasn't put up there til about half 1.

I'll back you up on that, I was checking there and the FAI site since the first rumours came out this morning. No way was it up at 11.31.

Yup, definetly wasnt up before half 1 or so anyway when i checked it.

How did UCD's website manage to get wind of the draw before it was up on LoI.ie??

**pineapple stu** · 06/05/2009, 2:21 PM

I worked it out off here is how. And also, I asked the club who we'd drawn. I guessed Fingal v Sligo on the basis that neither side is really important, and I didn't want to leave the draw 3/4s up.

Harpo is obviously wrong when he notes that the info was available, although an apology presumably won't be forthcoming. He also has a bee in his bonnet over the website for some reason, although when asked for assistance, he declines. Probably so he can complain some more later.

Actually, I think the FAI may have taken the draw off the UCD site, and changed Sligo v Fingal so it wouldn't be blatant plagiarism.

I was hoping for Rovers at home and i got the wrong ones

.
Maybe we will draw them in the semi

Taken from an FAI Press Release Quarter Final date and times

Mon, May 18th Galway United v UCD Terryland Park 7.45pm
Mon, May 18th Sporting Fingal v Sligo Rovers Morton Stadium 7.45pm
Tues, May 19th Waterford United v Shamrock Rovers RSC 7.45pm
Tues, May 19th Wexford Youths v Bohemians Ferrycarrig Park 8.00pm

**DmanDmythDledge** · 09/05/2009, 8:51 PM

The date on the website says the story was created at 11:31. This would have been based on the server, not manually entered. Obviously must have been some delay with it processing for some reason.

**Rory H** · 18/05/2009, 3:10 PM

Mon, May 18th Galway United v UCD Terryland Park 7.45pm
Mon, May 18th Sporting Fingal v Sligo Rovers Morton Stadium 7.45pm

Not much exposure for these tonight. Two ties hard to call.
