I think its good to have an open draw, it gives teams a chance to play against the 'better' teams in Limerick, everyone hopes for an upset, that's what makes it interesting. Not sure about the home advantage suggestion, not fair on the clubs that put the effort into their grounds, besides most lower league teams would prefer playing on a better pitch?
I am in no way suggesting that both the FAI & Munster Junior Cups become elitist, but tell me how being beaten 9-0,8-0,7-0 is of any advantage to the side receiving the beating??
Let the better of the "lesser" go into the open draw and allow the lesser teams be determined by a preliminary round.
It still allows for 1. an upset & 2. bettering of the players by playing against a team of a higher standard
They are very valid points but I wonder would the clubs in the lower leagues be in favour of it, I am sure it has been suggested if not tried in the past?
that is how the french fa cup is played.Originally Posted by whitestripe
however i think none of this will change !
i think if you had a prelim round the so called better teams would be more prepared as in they would know the team they are playing have a run going eg Caherdavin v annacotty - this was widely tipped to be a shock which seemed to have got annacotty really up for it hence the result.
the reason it would be a shock is because it is expected to 5/6/7 nil
Charleville 3-5 Star Rvs
Charleville went 1-0 up after 10mins
but Star were 3-1 up at half time,
Star were then 5-1 up with 10-15mins to go and made a few changes
when Charleville were awarded a peno, and also scored from a corner in the last minute.
Janesboro away in the next round for Star, with the winners of that due to meet the winners of Balla or Holycross away to get out of town.
68, 99, 08
not a good sign when a team gives up......
thats what happens in football i think every team would be guilty of it at some stage
surely at 3-1 they still had an outside chance of getting back into it...caherdavin are renowned for scoring late golas...... twice against wembley last season they got 2 goals in last 5 mins and a couple weeks ago against the dines they scored deep in injury time........
even when your out of a game pride should surely come into it.....to make sure u dont get hammered........
very true.. wonder are caherdavin feelin the pressure already could fall apart if they dont get back on track soon
i think they play Mungret this weekend a tough game for them
Mungret 7-1 Caherdavin...and they were hammered last week by Aisling by the same scoreline..Trouble at The Valley i mean The Greenhills
"The theory of football is not just a study of how to win.Equally as important is how not to lose."
Another great result for Herbertstown yesterday in beating Fairview Rangers 3-1 in MJC.
This is great for a country club but I suppose what we really need now is 3pts in the league.
