Fair play the rovers for working hard right up to the end, Cretaro was taken off after the injury just on half time but seemed none the worst of it when he came into the stand.

With 1/3 of the population from Dublin, it'd be hard to not get Dublin officials. They are highly unlikely to support SF anyway.

Perhaps magnificent compared to previous performances

Regardless of their run it'd still be the easiest option, assuming Shams & Bohs get through tonight.

**Rovers1** · 19/05/2009, 6:25 PM

Any idea when the draw is Dermot??

**D Brannigan** · 19/05/2009, 6:27 PM

Great result, but it seems our 2nd half performance wasn't great, lets hope this gives them confidence for next Saturday as Galway will be low on it going out 2-0 to UCD. When will the draw for the semi finals be ?

Sorry my mistake.

**red bellied** · 19/05/2009, 6:35 PM

Its along way off. The semi's should be down for the next bank holiday.

**sligoman** · 19/05/2009, 8:59 PM

Us, Bohs, UCD & Waterford in the semi-finals. Hopefully avoid Bohs in the draw.

Yep, it'd be great to get through the Semis and into the Final, been a while....!

**roversforever** · 20/05/2009, 8:51 AM

Anybody at home.Ideally waterford but we're capable of beating anybody in the showgrounds,including bohs.

**dublinred** · 20/05/2009, 9:07 AM

This is shaping up nicely Shams knocked out last night and the semis ain't till August,looking like Bohs will have to offload a load of players/bar staff in the window similar to what us and Galway diod last year so expect they will be a lot weaker then also.

As long as we don't end up having the same problem again!! Would never rule anything out in this league.

Bohs will find a way around it, doubt they're going to be much weaker after the window.
