UCD in the League Cup

Tough game me thinks but I reckon County can pick up a result if everything goes right on the night. Know they bet us 4-0 and I wasn't there but was told we used 22 players in that game so not looking to much into that result. What do you all think?.

I fancy Kildare for this one. Our U21s are below strength, having loaned 4 players to Shels.

**pineapple stu** · 20/03/2007, 7:51 PM

But our U-21s beat their U-21s 4-0 just a few weeks ago...?

98fm sports news saying that it is one of the ties of the round! along with Bohemians v Bray Wanderers. Hoping for a good game.
Pre season means nothing IMO.

Monday or Tuesday, by the way?

**steno** · 20/03/2007, 8:19 PM

I don't know yet but will post it up here once the word is out.

**pineapple stu** · 20/03/2007, 8:21 PM

You'll increase the gate a good 1% if it's Tuesday.

We're playing Sligo that Sunday aren't we? We might want to at least pretend we're going to play a full team in the league cup and have it on the Tuesday.

Yeah, that's true. Tuesday it is so. Suits me.

Is this 2 days after the connemarathon? I may revise my predictions of a victory in the Pint to Pint challenge so.

I hear there might be "venue trouble" for this tie. Though it is from an extremely unreliable source who basically writes fiction about KCFC, so I'm assuming it ain't true.

I'll let the board know if we play it on a Tuesday the crowd will be 1% bigger! I'm sure they'll take that on board!

And tie of the round? Jeez.... two giants going head to head eh....

We're well used to playing away League Cup ties in Belfield if all comes to all.

**steno** · 05/04/2007, 8:06 AM

Game set for April 16th at Station Road. Home fans should make a special effort to get down to this one, I'll leave you all to wonder why......

**KildareFan** · 05/04/2007, 8:58 AM

Why?

John Ryan's last game? New manager's first game?

New stand?

**KildareFan** · 05/04/2007, 9:00 AM

Seems to have a decent record but didn't play very much for Dundalk last year. Anybody know anymore about him?

If Ger Robinson plays on Sunday, it would be a boost. I'd play him with Amond and give Philly G a break

Good news about Robinson, will have to see about Mc Ardle. He is a former Underage international as far as I can remember was with Derby County before moving back to Dundalk, was released in the july transfer window after not playing too much of a role at Oriel. Another midfielder though, we don't really have a lot of defenders at the moment.

And Nope not that either.
