Shamrock Rovers -v- Fanad United (Rovers through)

not so sure,
could be the upset of the 2nd round

[Speranza]

We have a good record against $hel$ under Kenny and I'm confident we can turn the filth over in Dublin without a replay. Really want to win the cup this year to get into the Setanta.

Managed by ex-Mons manager and Shelbourne midfielder Bobby Browne, who led them to the top division of the LSL for the first time in their history. Beat Glenmore Dundrum in round 1. With Bobby as manager I'd expect them to be a footballing side. They have tremendous facilities if you have to go there for a replay, their all weather pitch is used for the Irish senior squad for training I believe.

Most games have fairly certain conclusions. Little chance for upsets with non-leaguers & 1st division teams away from home.

I wonder what game RTE or TG4 will show on tv? Will they be obvious & go to Tolka?

Is it my imagination or does 2nd round seem earlier this year? Anyone know why such a gap to round 3?

[Dodge]

Apparently its to give the non league sides a better chance...

[dcfcsteve]

There's only one tough/challenging draw in there really and - sod's feckin' law - we're the ones who get it.....!

Are the games over the 10th June weekend ?

Thems the breaks !!

Yup think so.

FAI Cup is too important with Uefa Cup & Setanta Cup places to waste on a small team but they entitled to their luck of the draw i suppose. Not much chance of even non-leaguer beating one of those 1st division teams.

I doubt they have a site .... i wouldn't worry to be honest. You should have the measure of them alright. That might be played at the cross actually if they keep the tie at home.

Hopefully it is... Don't wanna go to a S-hit pitch in the middle of nowhere!!! Why couldn't we draw Wayside or Cherry Orchard which are just out the road, but NO we had to draw a Non-league team from Cork.

They are also in the final of the Metropolitan Cup, so expect a tough game. under Bobby Browne it will be a potential banana skin. I hate these teams, cos we're dammed if we do and dammed if we dont.

Why, were you hoping for a change?

[LFC in Exile]

Did anyone see Roddy Collins being interviewed with Kerr afterwards. He was asked about Dundalk and Said "Hopefully they'll have a pitch by then". Smart ar se. Then again I suppose there's a better chance of Dundalk having one than there is of Rovers having one by then. Wonder if it will be an all First Division clash when it comes around?

Your not funny!!

Avondale Park can be found just outside Carrigaline, if you follow the signs for the ferry from Ringaskiddy and take the right for Fernhill Golf club, its about 2 miles down the road.
