They have an away section for up to 100 set aside. I don't envisage more than 60-70 Harps fans for a first round game.

Games covered, which is most, not all, are listed on LOI.TV and here.

So, their cup coverage is only for League teams with home fixtures. I reckon some of the non-league teams might arrange streams through their websites, worth checking on the day!

It would be up to each individual club to run their own stream if they choose to do so. If they had plans to stream, it would be facilitated through LOITV. But the cost involved in providing a stream, if they don't have means to do it themselves voluntarily, is too large.

The game that interests me is the St. Michaels v Waterford fixture!

Treaty/Cork moved to Saturday at 2 due to a request from Cork City on compassionate grounds.

My home town. Would like to be there but The Saints are in pre season and only played 1 friendly. Big big ask for them

Question from the LOI Central mailbag was what cup final would bring out the biggest crowd. I think the answer is definitely Rovers v Bohs. On that basis I am hoping bohs go through this evening.

Bohs much the better team in the first 15 too, need to see this pressure result in a goal. Dylan Connolly has been savage.

**joey B** · 21/07/2023, 7:18 PM

Bohs miles between than Shels so far…

**joey B** · 21/07/2023, 7:19 PM

And they score!

**joey B** · 21/07/2023, 7:23 PM

Bohs player near caught the ball in the box there,no penalty of course!

**total hoofball** · 21/07/2023, 7:23 PM

What a couple of minutes for Shels. We concede yet another daft goal from a corner and straight up the other end Bohs player with the most blatant deliberate handball in the penalty box and both the referee and linesman nearby conveniently don't see it they must have been the only people in the ground or watching on TV to unluckily miss that one....

**Calcio Jack** · 21/07/2023, 7:25 PM

And an early contender for ref gaffe of the week as Shels denied a stonewall peno….

First 20 mins it was the Dylan Connolly show and what a show it was too

**Bohtastic** · 21/07/2023, 7:44 PM

Hoping for a Dylan Connolly show in the second half - his man sent off, winning a penalty, scoring a worldie.

**The Bowler** · 21/07/2023, 7:47 PM

Oh another serious contender for ref blunder of the week. The Wexford penalty awarded is a comically awful episode of blindness from the ref. Keeper wins the ball cleanly. Avondal keeper apoplectic, and understandably so

**total hoofball** · 21/07/2023, 7:48 PM

I'll be suprised if Duff doesn't make changes for Shels, really slack first 30 minutes up the latest comedy goal at a corner, though slight bit better after the goal. Could easily be 2-0 down somewhat fortunate it's 1-0 or if you really aggrieved to feel it should be 1-1 if the blatant palm of the ball peno was given

Just checked that one out there, yep another total joker of a referee

Wasn't it a handball from Barrett as well?
Mind you, McManus was stonewall.
Shels not up to much tonight, but second half could be a turnaround - like last week.
