FAI Cup 2018

Jays, I made an arse of that!

I was going off an 8-team first division, and just had the non-league as a balancing number. And still got the Premier number wrong...

If Dundalk draw CIE will they order in Rancheros?

what time is the draw is at and is it live on fai tv?

Yes please. Could really do without Dundalk v Cork part 4 in the final this year. Enough is enough. Them drawing each other is about the only way it looks like it won't happen. I can't recall two teams being so far ahead of the rest of the pack for such a prolonged period in my 20 odd years as a regular Pats supporter. Would love to get to another Final, but I don't think we're clinical enough up front to get by anybody decent.

The draw is on Soccer republic.

Bohemians
Cabinteely
CIE Ranch
Cork City
Derry City
Drogheda United
DundalkFC
Finn Harps
Galway United
LimerickFC
Longford Town
Maynooth University
Saint Patrick's Athletic
Shelbourne
UCD
Waterford

Just watching the highlights now. What was Grace thinking for Rovers against Drogheda? Soft red maybe, but you don't reach out and tug the last man in the box as he goes past you. Just idiotic.

Home Farm were shambolically, appallingly bad. Scoring from their own half is appropriate in a way cos I can't see how they'd have gotten into the Cork half playing like that.
And Ollie Cahill playing for them?!

Stephen Henderson looks like some punter they grabbed in from the stands to interview instead of the real manager.

Nice analysis on the Cork, Dundalk and Harps wins. I forgot how much I liked this programme.

It's almost as if they only want to talk about Shamrock Rovers, eh?

Happy out with that. Non-league side and presumably a new ground.

Busaras?

Limerick at home to Cabinteely. Not exactly a glamour tie to make us a load of money, but a decent shout of getting to the last eight.

CIE Ranch v UCD
Galway United v Bohemians
Derry City v St Pat's Ath
Dundalk v Finn Harps
Cork City v Maynooth University Town
Drogheda United v Waterford
Limerick v Cabinteely
Longford Town v Shelbourne

Inchicore I think. Was hoping for another local derby, but there you go. Tough draw away to Derry, but we've played really well up there twice this season but lost both times. Maybe we're due one against them.

We haven't deserved to win either of them, and you had us well beaten in Inchicore. I'm not confident. At least we're at home.

Best centre half in the league according to Shams fans. Wonder if this will change some opinions.

Never been overly impressed

I was impressed by Hondermarck though. He looks like a decent player.

A train company ?

Surely you meant Connolly or Heuston ?

Tut tut!

CIÉ is all three - Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and Iarnród Éireann.

So in the last round, they could say they owned Dublin Bus. And they'd be literally correct

That better have been a headline somewhere! **Shakes fist at world of media.**
