Whats your likely line up for the Quarter Finals?

Dundalk vs UCD
Bray vs Pats
Cork vs Kilkenny
Waterford vs Sligo
Harps vs Derry
Limerick vs Douglas
Longford vs Fanad
Malahide vs Bohs

Sligo or us to win outright.

The way Pats are going they will be MId Table by end of season, and as always win nought. If you can find a bigger crowd than will appear at the Derry Finn Harps match this weekend then I'll take it all back, but cant see any other match that will attract a larger crowd, so why shouldnt it be televised. You have the most inform team apart from Drogs in both leagues, and the current cup holders away to their local rivals. So why shouldn't it be televised.

how ae u the other inform team apart from drogs at the moment...u sheepies really are losing the run of yourselves, rovers are playing far better stuff in the premier, your doing it against kilkenny and the likes, and a friendly v celtic...

Cobh are THE form team in both divisions. End of.

Got me a ticket to the Malahide game on Sunday.

A quick overnighter from England it is then...

[sligoman]

Whats your likely line up for the Quarter Finals?

Derry,
Limerick 37,
U.C.D.D.(after a replay),
Sligo Rovers(after a replay maybe),
Pat's,
Longford,
Bohs(after a replay),
Cork.

Cobh are THE form team in both divisions. End of.

Easier opposition...doesn't count.

[bellavistaman]

Easier opposition...doesn't count.

Ye didnt do it when ye were in div1, not so long ago

[sligoman]

Ye didnt do it when ye were in div1, not so long ago

And your point? Did I say we did? We're talking about current form this season, not past seasons. Gap between Premier and First is too big to compare teams with each other.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Cobh are THE form team in both divisions. End of.

Form is the past 5 matches. Cobh have 9/15, Sligo 13/15 playing in a higher division.

why 5?

[DmanDmythDledge]

why 5?

Because form is recent games.

[bellavistaman]

Because form is recent games.

Fair enough, not sayin anything, by the way dman, onephillyhughes said end of, no need to comment again

[biscuit]

Ya we didnt do it when we were there, we just won the league, which none of you have done yet please remember. And we did it playing quite badly for the final quarter. As has been said, when your doing it against quality opposition then start bragging.

i didnt brag, dundalk fan kindly pointed it out. Hopefully we follow ye dont care how boring our games are, cant imagine us winning the league, no matter what happens we've come a long way from the days of re applying for league status annualy

[onephillyhughes]

Weaker opposition, thats ********, no one brought that into it. Of course its weaker opposition, but you can only beat whats put in front of you. Cobh haven't lost in what, 23 games? That to me is the best run ANYONE in this country has gone on all season. Of course I hope its put to an end quick, but you can't take away from a run like that, regardless of the opposition.

[kev mcq]

Form is the past 5 matches. Cobh have 9/15, Sligo 13/15 playing in a higher division.

In that case...Finn Harps 13/15

[John83]

Why the hell are live games shown, when most of the target audience are at games?????????????????????I think somebody needs to sit down and do the maths!

Needless to say Finn Park match should be on this weekend!

I saw the viewing figures for TG4's live games a while ago - 30k is a hell of a lot more than are at the games. All of the games put together.

[Sam_Heggy]

Dundalk vs UCD
Bray vs Pats
Cork vs Kilkenny
Waterford vs Sligo
Harps vs Derry
Limerick vs Douglas
Longford vs Fanad
Malahide vs Bohs

Sligo or us to win outright.

Id agree with most of that except Derry to beat us after a replay. And Bohs or Pats to win outright.
I think Ourselves, Dundalk would take promotion over a place in the quarter finals any day.
All messin aside theres a long way to go in the 1st Div and any of the 3 can win it, but theres a 1st Div thread already so.......................... lets all argue in there

[Réiteoir]

And your point? Did I say we did? We're talking about current form this season, not past seasons. Gap between Premier and First is too big to compare teams with each other.

Have to say here and now - you were bloody lucky to get past Killester in that replay in Tolka last season.

Easily the best Cup tie I've been to anywhere ever

[pineapple stu]

Went on a bit of a betting rampage there...Money on all the games.

Dundalk vs UCD (hate betting on us, but having seen Harps when they're in form, I'd have to hope we can beat Dundalk out of form)
Bray vs Pats (5/2 good odds on Bray, I think)
Cork vs Kilkenny
Waterford vs Sligo
Harps vs Derry - draw
Limerick vs Douglas - draw
Longford vs Fanad
Malahide vs Bohs

[Sam_Heggy]

Stu I wouldn count beating Dundalk as a fore-gone conclusion either, their minds should be set on the 1st Div BUT they will be no push over. Also when ye played us we were missing 6 1st team players (not making excuses btw) Higsy rested 2 players we had 1 suspended and 3 injured that night and of coarse the very mobile Parkhouse played CM that night too . Anyway point is, that I wouldn use that game as an example for Dundalk. Tryin to save ya a little money Personally I wouldn't bet on that game.
