All very quiet on here for the cup.

Expecting close to a full house for Galway United.

Thinking the same re very little build up, 8 clubs are potentially 90 mins away from the semi !

Dundalk have a very tough game in Galway, two good performances in stages v Rovers away and Derry at home, but losses, could go either way, I think our experience will see us just about squeeze past.

Pats should be far far too strong for FH, but the home side won't roll over.

Cork City, anything less than a 2-0 win and I`d be surprised, but Wexford only a point off 4th spot in FD, so maybe they will go for it, why wouldn't they.

Drogs v Bohs, such a tough game to predict, Bohs obv favs and a better side and in good form, but Drogs are so well set up at home, I have a sneaky feeling they might just cause a wee upset but it would be a surprise at the same time.

We've rolled over against any half decent team we've played this year so I can't see that changing. I go in hope but can't see anything other than a facile Pat's victory

Tonight�s game is a sell out. I give us a big chance tonight especially if we can get one of our full backs fit for tonight.

No sure what to expect tonight. The mood among harps lads seems gloomy so I�ll take encouragement from that. In the cup getting into the round is all that matters so I�ll take any sort of win tonight.

Pitch inspection at Turners Cross at 12.30�..

**Yossarian** · 15/09/2023, 10:01 AM

Any word on any potential pitch inspection in Galway? Planning to hit the road around 2ish

**pineapple stu** · 15/09/2023, 10:15 AM

Orange weather warning for Cork - presume there's a possibility that one will get called off too?

I'm sure we'll find a way to make it at least somewhat competitive.

I'm assuming a Bohs v Pats final at this stage, wiht Bohs edging it.

Though that will probably turn out to be completely wrong.

If Harvey Norman starts with McGrath suspended it�s game on.

I think you are underestimating how awful we really are!

You�re underestimating how bad Norman is , one of the worst CB�s for us in recent years. I�m expecting a win tonight but don�t think it will be a pretty affair.
