Christ, the mighty Mons again

Surely it can't be a repeat of 2003 The Slaying of John Gill...

Limerick might as well be on some little island in the middle of the pacific before the do (RTE i am here to be wronged)

Though that about cameras coming to Belfield Park for a leauge match as well, but it's happening next month.

What's your ground like now? Is it just the one stand behind the goal or is there another? If yez can fill it between yez - bit of interest in Limerick, good Drogs following and all that - then maybe. Stranger things have happened!

AThlone v GUFC is an interesting draw aswell.With it been a bit of a derby and Lavine,fortune,Forde and Keane all now playing for Athlone it has the makings of a cracker.
There'll be a great atmosphere there too...large Galway crowd will travel.

none pf those games should be on TV IMO

With Bohez drawn at home as well ye are probably looking at a Sunday afternoon fixture.

I'd say the live game will be eatier Limerick vs Drogs or Longford vs City. I don't know who will show it. I'm delighted my home town Carrigaline got a home draw. Hopefully an upset will be on the cards there.

It's be some craic to see Hogan Park on TV- if the cameras weren't stolen before kick off that is

Is Hogan Park suitable for tv? Would the crowd fit? Is Thomond available?

The only tv options are:

Longford v Cork City
Bray Wanderes V Kildare
Limerick FC V Drogheda Utd

TG4 seem to like getting out of Dublin. Who did TG4 show last year? I remember Cork City v Sligo.

**Dazzy** · 03/05/2006, 11:05 PM

Shels v Derry

**razor** · 04/05/2006, 8:36 AM

It doesn't get any easier for Avondale, should they beat Crumlin this Saturday, 3 trips to Dubland in the Intermediate Cup and 1 already in the FAI Cup as well as an Intermediate Cup Semi final in Donegal.

Nice one! Means can go out Sat nite in Dublin and get the footie on the Sunday....I love it when a plan comes together!

**monutdfc** · 04/05/2006, 9:15 AM

What do you think Maynard? Sunday afternoon, Thursday evening, Saturday evening? A double-header with the Bohs v Waterford Crystal clash?

The tie that stands out for me. Blarney United. Managed by David O'Leary.

It's basically a terraced shed behind one of the goals with sloped gravel terracing on the side the camera would be facing and behind the other goals. IMHO ground would look tidy enough if you got 2 to 3 thousand to fill it up.

At a squeeze I reckon capacity wise you're talking 7 to 8 thousand

Thats very harsh there wasn't a hand laid on one of ye on your trip eventhough you tried to take over our shed

And FYI that burning car was at least 100 yards from the ground

Dundalk V Cobh Ramblers

Next question I suppose - are there any shocks? Anywhere?!

Maybe Kildare against Bray and Monaghan against Dublin City (beat them the last time DC were in the Premier), but even they're unlikely. Wouldn't classify Athlone beating Galway or Cobh beating Dundalk as a shock. Bar Harps v Avondale or Crumlin and Wayside v Killester, all the non-league clubs got Premier opposition, so I can't see anything coming out of those games. Fairly dull draw really, though hopefully setting it up for a good Third Round draw with a lot of the top names still in it.

Would love to be heading off to Castlebar or Athenry or Carrigaline or Blarney for a game! Still, got to be happy with a trip to Kilkenny.
