QuoteWe're under serious pressure now. Missing Murphys ability to hold onto the ball up top, even if he was knackered.
The cup is certainly killing Premier Division sides this season. Some game down in the Cross so could be another gone. Going to my first Bohs game in Dalymount Sunday since pre Covid. I was one of the lucky ones due to the extra increase in capacity. Can’t wait!

Penalties at the Shed End
Hold your nerve
Fine start to the weekend!!
Gutted. Poor penalties from Coffey and Crowley
Jesus that was bad
Got away with that. Cracking stuff in the shoot out in fairness.
Phew. After that first half I was thinking this could be the most embarrassing result for a Premier Division side in 24 hours
Ah that was great. Neither side played well but Harps just edged it I felt...Good to be in the draw anyway. Great to see the passion from local lad Johnny Dunleavy at the end!
Result of the round so far.Originally Posted by thebronze14
It was looking like a Pats return to their cup hoodoo for a bit! Can Harps be the cup team this year, it does happen now and again! Now more than ever Dundalk need the luck of the draw to stick - Avoid Pats, Harps, and the winner of Bohs and Rovers. Maynooth/Cobh/Wexford/Kilester at home please and in the mean time play in to some league form and get players fit again before the semis - not asking too much of the Dundalk football gods I think!
I thought Harps played quite well at least in terms of being affective, certainly value for the win.
Not a classic. Not an amazing performance, but job done. Harps dug deep, and Tunde stuck away the penalty superbly.
Derry had their moments, Doherty came back to haunt them with a couple of good saves and really commanded his area well.
Think harps were worth the win in the end though.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Phew!!! We were absolutely shocking tonight except for 16 year old James Abankwah at centre back who had a good game.
In the hat for the next round though and that’s all that matters.
Thought Doherty was excellent especially for a man who has been playing very little footbal the last couple of years.
He didn’t have much to do but what he did have to do done well and everything he came for he took well, he didn’t have to be spectacular but was very solid, faultless throughout
No disrespect to St.Moctha's,but they were outclassed by Dundalk last night.
We're no great shakes ourselves atm but we dismantled them in the 2nd half.
Some HUGE games ahead for us as with our struggles towards the bottom rnd of the table and our injury list is awful but after this performance i can see us rising up the table from here on in.
Hoban was his usual same as always and grabbed a nice wee & very welcome hat-trick,guy is hopefully hitting form at the right time.
Abibi was replaced(rested ;-) ) in gk with Yates debuting(he had sfa to do bar picking the mochta's goal out of the net)
Waterford away next week for us will paint a bigger picture on where we are i reckon.
Comfortable win for Waterford last night. John Martin got his usual 2 poachers goals, Phoenix Patterson scored a cracking free kick and good strike from Cameron Evans as well. Kilnamanagh had some good moments and got a deserved consolation goal near the end.
The draw will be interesting next week.
It was great to see the Rockets on the big stage against a club like Waterford. It’s another sign of the great progress the club is making on and off the field. The seniors promoted to the top LSL league , a thriving underage set up & planning being sought for a €500k new club house. Fair play to Keith Foy for getting the club this far in the FAI cup.
Pat's name appears to be on the cup.
If they can get their defenders back for the further rounds they'd be a good cup bet, for my money.
