FAI Cup Semi Final - Waterford United Home 23rd Oct

**sligofan4ever** · 21/09/2009, 7:11 PM

Ideal draw for us IMO.

After beating Derry,Cork and Bohs there no reason we cant go through.

Is it definatly the 23rd ? the 2 dates are the 23rd and 25th AFAIK.

yup, they said we're the Friday night match...

**rovers100%** · 21/09/2009, 7:18 PM

god draw at home. hopefully bohs demoralise waterford in ea final and we keep our good run going.

**sligofan4ever** · 21/09/2009, 7:21 PM

Did he say k/o 7:35 ?

**MMVIII** · 21/09/2009, 7:21 PM

Showgrounds should hopefully be packed for this

I'd say there'll be a large waterford crowd up too.

Happy enough. Wanted a home draw, and got one. Although would have preferred Bray at home.

Hopefully its as big as the Derry semi-final in 2006. Hopefully with the form we're the whole town will be confident of winning first time around.

Home draw is great..did'nt mind who we got as long as it was at home...still sore over our exit to Waterford a couple of years ago so i hope we can get revenge this time!!..hopefully a huge crowd there to get behind the lads.

any home draw would have been a good one imo
cant take anything for granted, they'll come here full of confidence and will think they could get at least a replay. best chance in years that we'll get to a cup final.

looking forward to it

**Brian Boru** · 21/09/2009, 7:31 PM

Best draw possible.

**mint sauce** · 21/09/2009, 7:39 PM

cant wait

**srfc1928** · 21/09/2009, 8:10 PM

Delighted with the home draw
Friday night rather than Sunday afternoon is a bonus aswell.
Looking forward to it, but its going to be a tough one

**red arrow** · 21/09/2009, 8:41 PM

great to get the home draw. it will be very tough but we can do it provided we remain fully focussed. the waterford / bohs ea league cup final will be a great opportunityfor paul cook to run the rule over them. where is that game being played ?

**sligored** · 21/09/2009, 9:13 PM

i hate asking this but what is the proposed date for the final

Send someone to watch that one at the RSC and record it..we've got a game against some other Rovers the very same evening in Showgrounds that is kind of important!!

**sligoman** · 22/09/2009, 12:56 AM

Hopefully a similar result to the last time Henderson managed in Showgies
