    Prediction:
    Cork City Vs. Bray Wanderers
    Drogheda United Vs. Derry City
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    A City v Derry final would be a huge money spinner for the FAI so I have a feeling that both clubs will somehow mysteriously avoid each other in the semis.
    Champions!

    We've been City continously since 1928. Even in the period 1972-85 Derry City FC still existed formally.

    Meanwhile- Cork City have only been around since 1984, and Cork teams have had more name changes than your average lingerie model has underwear changes....

    Oh please not that again We would not, btw, take offence at you saying City v Cork. It's like the Rovers v Sligo debate.
    Anyway it's City 'till I die all round.

    We've taken points off all 3 teams this season so I don't mind who we get as long as it's a home draw.

    Without being too presumptious, I wanna see City v City in the final, show everyone what this league is about: good football, big crowds and noisy fans. As for the semis, Bray at home would do nicely for me- no semi final will be easy, but that would be about the best for us IMO. That said, I expect us to get Derry in the semi.

    Hmm, I dont agree with Colm's conspiricy theory, the last time we got to a semi final we drew Derry at home (and lost! ). Id take Bray at home but dont mind too much as long as we avoid Derry in the Brandywell.
    As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.

    I want Bray-Drogs, City-City

    I think it'll be Bray-Derry, Drogs-Cork

    It's great being underdogs cos everyone will underestimate us. Though I'd like to avoid Cork until the Final, so we can embarass 'em with the whole country watching!!

    If we draw Drogs, which is the easiest draw we can get(no offence lads) and beat em, then we are in europe again which would be fantastic. No matter what would happen in the final. But i tink, i really do, that it is our year!!! I think we could beat anyone, i know you are probs tinking i'm f-ucking nuts, but it is cup football!!!

    In 1990 Cork won the All Ireland, We won the cup
    In 1999 Cork won the All Ireland, We won the cup
    In 2005 Cork won the all Ireland, We..................????????

    Can't wait, the buzz around the club is brilliant!!

    to be expected - and likewise (again no offence) bray would be our dream draw. we still owe you one from 1989.

    cork have won more than 2 all irelands though, so that doesn't hold up too well

    Their are other things too. We beat non-league teams both times (St. Francis and Cherry Orchard(?)) and we beat Alan Mahon in 1990.

    This year we've beaten Alan Mahon (UCD) and 2 non-league teams (Cherry Orchard and Avondale)

    Btw if Bray are beaten in the final against Derry and Cork City win the league then the FAI Cup EUFA spot will be taken by Derry and Shels get in the EUFA Cup for 3rd in the league. All hypothetical of course. As we found out in the EUFA Cup this year Longford got seeded for winning the FAI Cup last year ahead of us coming second in the league.

    I'm pretty sure about all that but the usual health warnings apply.

    So Bray will have to win the Cup to get into the EUFA Cup or play the double winners in the final (be that Cork or Derry).
