    FAI Cup

    The draw was made on MNS earlier, Pike Rovers at home for us. Great draw. They're not a terrible team by any means but we obviously should be winning it.

    Would have preferred an away trip to one of the premier clubs but hopefully we can get through this and maybe get one in the next draw..
    If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    This will be a very tough tie, Pike are a top junior side and almost beat Sligo in 2010, any word on dates?

    Now that you say it, I wouldn't say no to another sunny day sitting on the balcony of that bar in Tolka Rovers' ground..

    I would say Pike are better than some of the current First Division sides judging by reports all across the country.

    Meh, junior football tends to overrate itself while in division 1 people say every single year that it's the worst one ever. And then the cup comes round and the juniors get mashed.

    Or win. Like Cherry Orchard last year.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
