FAI Cup draw-Tomorrow(Wednesday)

[holidaysong]

I think it is too early to be predicting results - it is still two months until the ties will be played!

[dancinpants]

I once played for KUFC, when we wore green and white hoops, but some b@stard has changed their strip to a Milan rip off.

What? As opposed to the Celtic rip off?.

[Battery Rover]

Harps v Athlone

Not a bad for us even though we would have liked a home draw as it would have been possibly the last FAI Cup game in St Mels and the thought of another ass breaking journey to Ballybofey for what will be the fourth time this season when the cup is played.

But at least the beer is good and the Harps lads are a sound bunch.

[Bray Head]

Thank Hunt Bohs are the away side!

Wouldn't fancy paying that security bill.

It's an FAI cup match so they (FAI) will pay the security and deduct it from both clubs share of the gate. Less money for both clubs.

[placid casual]

Rovers v Bohs!?!
good.
our brothers across europe will want to attend this game no doubt.
and the turnstiles at tolka will spin like a politicians PR man.
hope we can find a goalscorer and get some bulk in midfield by then

No, it's a Bohs tribute, a la Longford

[Drumcondra Red]

I think we're due a cup win over Derry by now, possibly the winner of this match will go on to win the cup...

[Roverstillidie]

Shams would need to play the game of their life and Bohs would need to play well they would need to play like they are playing at the moment and then maybe throw in a couple of poor ref desicions then and only then Shams may have a chance of upsetting the big boys from the premier. I Suppose thats the magic of the cup to see if the likes of first division teams can pull of a shock result against stronger opposition. Best of Luck to you guys

what are you talking about?

not even the most hardened/deluded gypo belives any of that. have a skim through gypoweb, they have the game lost already.

we have lost once all season. they are at their lowest ebb in years. the only thing they have is the higher division they are just about in

the game of Rovers life? you pillock

eeeehhhhh, its a cup game.

you pay half the bill indirectly

[WeAreRovers]

Quite simply the biggest domestic club fixture in this country - always has been - always will be

Fully endorsed.

Which game will have the highest attendance? Which game will capture the imagination of the public? Which game will garner the most media attention? Which game actually means something?

[placid casual]

while its patently ovbious which game means more to the fans, and will have a decent enough attendence I think its a valid point made by both derry & sheilas fans that the eventual winner of the cup could come from the winner of their tie.
neither bohs nor rovers will come within an ass's roar of the fai cup final.

[bohs til i die]

eeeehhhhh, its a cup game.

not really. the gate is split, so Bohs get 40%

[pineapple stu]

I think it is too early to be predicting results - it is still two months until the ties will be played!

Ah yeah - bit of craic though!

Harsh on Killester though - two rounds of the FAI Cup (their first ever?) and all they get is Wayside and Dublin City.

[Roverstillidie]

not really. the gate is split, so Bohs get 40%

you get 40% after costs

you are slower than the average bozo to be fair.

[ConorE]

Considering the amount of Shels topics on your message board over the past few years it seems a lot of your fans do care about Shelbourne.

Is this you admitting that you are a regular reader of the Bohs MB?

Don't confuse 'caring' about Shelbourne with wanting Shelbourne to do the decent thing and lie down and die.

[sfc red]

There will be more people at the Shels and Derry game there for the football, than the Top of Division One -v- Bottom of Premier encounter.

eleven-a-side call it worng I guess

Crowd may be bigger at the Rovers Bohs game, but that will have a lot to do with the fact its your one and only encounter for the season.

Shels v Derry is the bigger game, I have no doubts about that.

as for the results in both,
Shels to win at home. we beat them 1-0 last time at home and the 1-1 in the setanta was a last min goal from Derry that willo let slip through his hands, we've had the better of Derry at home this season (eventually !!! )

Bohs to win easily. Rovers are in the first division for a reason and your not even top of a very poor division. You needed Killkenny to miss a peno the other night to get a 0-0 and I cant see any reason why your team can progress past even a bad Bohs team. One off cup game and all that but when I look at the teams sheets of both teams it seems to spell out Bohs every time...

[WeAreRovers]

There will be more people at the Shels and Derry game there for the football, than the Top of Division One -v- Bottom of Premier encounter.

How do you intend working that one out? A simple questionnaire? Anyone not in colours is not "there for the football" maybe?

The fact is that more people will attend Rovers/Bohs than any other 3rd round game. Derby games and bitter rivalries have their own special attraction all across the world. Mind you, it's not a concept that Shels need to understand anytime soon.

Going by Bohs and Rovers recent attendences hopefully this "tie of the round" manages to get a crowd of 4 figures

im sure it will considering our last 2 cup meetings got 12,000 and 8,000

i dont know what the discussion is about, the derry v shels game is the 'football' tie of the round due to respective league placings, but the dublin derby is the headline grabber because, well, its the dublin derby.
