Bohs away to Cork and Pats away to Galway would be the most fun draw,Pats might be due a home tie though!

Id like Bohs at home but undoubtedly we�ll draw Cork or Galway away to add to the discover Ireland route of Longford, Derry and Harps away

That was the most demoralising Dundalk result since losing 7-0 away to Rovers eleven years ago. Absolutely grim stuff. Hard to see where we go from here to be honest.

I only remember Brendan Clarke make 2 saves, first after only 3 or 4 mins, the second around 70mins in.

Seriously, been semi-regularly checking since last night and still nothing. Surely they're the highlights all neutrals are most interested in.

I�d like pats, home or away .
Be nice to knock them out before the final

They're up now and jump from 38 minutes when it goes 4-0 to the full time whistle.

4 and a half minutes of highlights with a full minute of that being players high giving each other after the full time whistle. Bizarre stuff!

YouTube highlights is 10 mins or so of action? First half and second half - maybe an updated version was added since you watched them?

**holidaysong** · 16/09/2023, 6:49 PM

There's a 4 min version on the FAI channel, but there's now also a 10 min version on Galway's channel.

Cheers, I see Galway have 10 min highlights up now, will give them a watch.

I was on about the FAI YouTube channel which has a 4 and a half minute version including 1 min of post match

Semis:
Virtue Signallers - Galway (3-0)
Junkies - Langers (2-1)

Final:
J 0-0 VS

Forrester to score his 2nd in shootout to win 12-11 on penalties and its everyone back to the Glen of aherloe!

**EatYerGreens** · 17/09/2023, 12:25 PM

I still reckon Bohs will win the cup this year. Would love to see Galway reach the final. Cork-Bohs would probably draw the biggest crowd?

**listowelceltic** · 17/09/2023, 7:36 PM

Ciaraa why did Galway escape without an insult?

**holidaysong** · 17/09/2023, 8:52 PM

It was easier to poke fun at them when they had a fraudster running the club and were getting promoted on the back of a snazzy DVD (right here, right now).

**nr637** · 18/09/2023, 9:23 AM

I would prefer Cork v Galway, Caufield back at TC should add a great edge!

Let the dubs battle it Bohs/St.Pats, whatever, the final is in Dubland any way!

**JC_GUFC** · 18/09/2023, 2:06 PM

I'm hearing the semi-finals will be on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th August.

I wonder is this due to RTE having a rugby match on TV on Friday 6th (and obviously The Late Late on RTE One) so they wouldn't be in a position to show a Friday night match.

The problem with Saturday is that Ireland take on Scotland at 20:00 in the Rugby World Cup, that would likely mean an afternoon kick-off time for the Saturday match. On the Sunday RTE are showing rugby from 16:45, so they may be pushing for a 14:00 kick-off on the Sunday

You'd like to think that regardless of the kick-off times all the matches will sell-out no matter what the draw throws up.

Unfortunately for Stevie it looks like we won that too: 1.82 v 1.25

Other interesting stats from the game - Galway United had 100% shooting accuracy 7 shots - all on target!

Possession - 23% v 77%

Accurate Passes - 96 v 422

Goals - 4 v 0!

Tell gaaah tv to go **** themselves.
Friday 745 and Saturday 745.
They�ll sell out anyhow, and we don�t get a penny from fathead mcbennett and his band of incompetents.
