Yep weekend of Feb 5/6Originally Posted by CousinSylDolan
Anyone know when Rd 7 is due to be played???????
I think its Feb 5/6 but need confirmation if anyone has it.
Anybody any views on the two teams from Tipperary, Rosegreen and Peake Villa. I haven't heard of Rosegreen in the FAI before, but I know of Peake Villa who have reached the last 16 and last 4 in the last few years.
Any news of them this time around ?
Rosegreen beat Dublin Bus last weekend. Peake are playing away to VEC this wkend coming 22nd Jan.
pike must be favourites, now they have got the fairview monkey off their backs, they didn't concede one goal when winning the munster a few years ago and they seem to have retained the habit. however i wouldn't write either galway hibs or kilkenny's evergreen as both have very experienced players and also have some pedigree in winning trophys.
i d write off tipp chances in the fai this year, rosegreen havnt the quality to go all the way while peake villa have lost as many league games as they won this season. back a tipp ream for the munster junior though as clonmel town and st michaels are still in contention
I hear Granville have now protested against Waterford Crystal in the Fai for playing an illegal player. Crystal beat Granville on spotters last Sunday.
Carrick, last years finalists lodged the same complaint I believe but protested too late. (think I read that on this site somewhere)
With the Ballymun thing and now this will the final be played at all this year???????
Turning into a bit of a farce.
Can anyone confirm that Granville have launched a protest????????
If the do its getting ridiculous ...The fai should sort these things out immediately
Will go along to see VEC v. Peake Villa on the 29th - either team in with a shout of winning it??? Last Junior Cup game I was at was in Tipp Town seeing Villa lost to Fairview - ultimate 'game of 2 halves'.
Presume Ted O'Connor is playing with Villa this year?

If Granville have lodged an objection they are wasting their money! East End, the team Crystal played before Granville, also lodged the same objection and it was over ruled. I was speaking with a member of the Crystal set up and he explained. The guy in question played under 21 for Kilkenny but Crystal went through the correct procedures, they also have have his letter of release from Kilkenny City as well as a letter of release from the Eircom League.
You think peolple would cop on after 2 other clubs have failed with the same objection!
I agree now that someone has stated the facts. These objections are making a bit of a joke of the competition...
ted o connor is up front still for peake villa. they are nowhere near as good as they were 3 years ago but with the way the cup is goin this year they might sneak through another couple of rounds. Rosegreen are a dogged side and would fancy a home tie but they dont expect to go much further id say
I think that most of the teams that are left would be of the same ilk , not a top team but capable of beating anyone if they perform.
There are quite a few twists and turns left yet this year. I do not think any of the last 16 teams can be ruled out at this stage. I think that if you ask any manager who is left in the comp all they would ask for is a home draw.
I know that if I was in that pos I would not be afraid of anyone who is left as there is not outstanding team there!!!!
We will wait to see what the draw brings tomorrow night!!!
You are correct stating Waterford Crystal have a letter of release from Kilkenny. the problem is it is dated a week after the player signed junior forms.
As for East End's objection they forwarded a personal cheque rather than a postal order with their objection making it inelligible.
Wait and see.......
I agree totally with u supersub,with very little between teams a home draw can make the differance in the last 16 and last 8 draws. although there are some teams a manager would want to avoid, with a home draw he could have no complaints.
The guy in question could not and was not registered by the Waterford Junior League without both Kilkenny and Eircom League Release forms. So, without been registered he could not play for Crystal in any competition, which was the case.
Tired of Objections
Is it just me or is the FAI Junior Cup getting to stage of "Farce" with all these objections going in week after week ??
Seriously I'm getting a bit tired of seeing the so called "big-guns" lodge appeals after getting beaten in the Cup. It always the same year after year and the Junior Council need to get a grip of things and sort out these problems once and for all. It's seems to spoil everything for all the lesser know clubs who progressed fair and square.
And looking on the face of it, it looks like the final could be put back if the Council those sort outstanding matters A.S.A.P.
Looking forward to the draw tonite. Home tie is vital in this round.
Van - Granville will be very happy that you think of them as one of the "big clubs" !!!!
Home advantage will be very important at this stage. The Limerick clubs have got their fair share of away draws so it would be nice if
a) they avoided each other
b) all got home draws ...
Fingers crossed !! As soon as anyone hears draw let the rest of us know!!!!!
Any idea when the draw gets posted on the FAI web site. Are is there anywhere that I can get the draw soon after its made???
Spoke to a member of Waterford Council. He says they incorerectly accepted form from Waterford Crystal. He could be bs'ing me but that is what he says
What big Guns are u refering to??Ballymun won 1-0 and Bath lodged an appeal...Bath are hardly the big guns there...Crystal beat Granville and granville lodged it so hardly big guns either.The only team that you could refer to as being a big gun are Carrick, They lodged an appeal to against Crystal and lost it
mmmm 3-1 I think....
