Yes, but don't tell anyone.

A quarter of an hour in, and this is a typically high-quality production from the FAI.

Nothing but some baldy fella writing on bits of paper.

Riveting stuff.

Is yer man actually keeping a record of the draw by writing it down on an A4 pad?

Athlone v Rovers
UCD v Janesboro
Ringmahon v Cobh

So far

Hard to be sure of the draw because the sound quality is so poor (and because my internet is skipping), but I think it's -

Athlone v Rovers
UCD v Janesboro
Ringmahon v Cobh
Bohs v Derry
Crumlin v Dundalk
Wexford v

And my stream just died...

Pats and Limerick is a tasty tie.

And even trying to replay the file, it skips after Wexford are drawn to go straight to the people doing the draw leaving.

Anyone else having this problem?

What a shambles the FAI are.

Exact same thing happened to me

Same here. The splash screen on the video called it the 4th round draw, and we were down as 'Athlete Town' in the description below the video on YT.

Not fecking Derry!! I mean great, Derry!!

Good tie for Limerick, just the kind of proper test the squad needs.

Fixtures Friday:

All 7:45pm k/o's

Athlone Town v Shamrock Rovers

Bohemians v Derry City

St.Patricks Athletic v Limerick FC

Just a word of warning to the hordes planning to travel to this, it's a 6pm kick-off and it's on in Turner's Cross.

Kind folk might say that Stephen Bradley is living in the past, others that he is simply deluded:

"It’s everyone’s cup final when Rovers come to town, every player playing against Rovers wants to show that they can play for us, and want to impress us.

Oh man that's so sad. He really thinks they're still the top dogs...

Reminds me of what Richie Sadlier said on Soccer Republic a while back about Rovers folks having a quite unrealistic superiority complex.

I am sure that this type of nonsense plays well with the fan base. Maybe a manager has to peddle that type of nonsense to get RTE coverage, as they decided not to mention the FAI cup matches at all on the main RTE Radio 1 Sports bulletin at 8;35 this morning. Nice piece on Christian Benteke though and that Man U were playing Southampton tonight.

You'd think that, but for some reason people still come out when Rovers come to town.
