    For f*cks sake. Worse possible draw for us and will mean every game in the cup has been away.

    Pats will throw it just to get the inevitable loss out of the way. Better Harps than Rovers. Leaves ye free to play your reserves against us in the last league game. Everyone's a winner.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Derry Pats final guaranteed. Pats will somehow manage to lose yet another final.

    Derry at home, not the best draw but certainly not the worst. And the fine people of Ballybofey can sleep easy knowing the knife-wielding hoards will be kept at bay for another year.

    Happy with draw, Harps will give us a tough game but fancy us to progress to the final and a day out in the Aviva.

    At least the people of Derry will be free to bury their dead without being attacked that weekend.

    So are Finn Harps any good? I haven't seen them live in years, I see they're 10 points behind Wexford Youths who are 4th but safe from finishing in the bottom 3.

    Good, on their day, solid annoying auld hoors to break down. Occasionally crap, but never against us!

    Ah come on. 2 non league teams and a first division team in the draw so far. You haven't much to complain about.
    Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
    Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
    Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

    So what you're saying is, they're going to beat us?

    All of the above, plus their manager is a mental case and they love an oul red card.

    Away to Cork, Wexford and Dublin. Combined distance of 2,062km travelled and only took a replay for us to get a home game. Another 450km round trip to make for the semi final.
    This, all completely besides the fact we've to travel to Waterford, Wexford, Cobh already twice a season, the entire length of the country, with our closest away fixture being Longford, a mere 320km round trip from Finn Park to City Calling Stadium.

    Harps annual spend on transport and travel expenses this season has been absolutely huge.

    But nope, nothing to complain about.

    Couldn't care less about who we play, it's the fact we can't seem to get any sort of lucky break.


    As for our chances against Pat's, slim to nil. I'd expect us to go down there and try to frustrate Pat's into a 0-0 draw. We can't score goals, hence our league position, but our defence is as good as anyones on their day. Expect the worst semi-final you've ever seen.

    Cant get a lucky break!!!! How is 2 non leagues and a 1st division team not getting a lucky draw! What do you want 3 BYEs.

    Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
    Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
