Provisional. I don't have it yet and didn't think it would take so long to get one so I won't be driving to this one.

Lads,

I'll hopefully be offering full match coverage via CMA Online for those that can't make it.

Nice one.

Don't suppose this will be on the radio on Friday with the rugby on will it? I'll be indisposed unfortunately but should manage to have a radio to hand.

Once you have the receipt you can drive.

Edit: Once you have the receipt you may drive.

You've taken a lift off Kevin before. You should understand.

Anyway, with that off the table, I suppose it'll be CMA again. Three cheers for Maribor and his team of web-radio wizards!

**Titan** · 19/09/2007, 10:40 AM

I'm heading up to this.

I'm leaving UCD ABOUT 2PM so if anyones interested....

Unfortunately as I now live in trim getting home could be a problem I could drop you off in Drogheda or Slane or somewhere!

I assume you have a floor/couch, no problem then.

I'm not going to make it to this one BTW.

**Aberdonian Stu** · 19/09/2007, 3:12 PM

I shan't be there either.

cant see anything but a home win sorry lads, all the travellin must be killin ye

**DRDoc** · 20/09/2007, 2:25 PM

Slight chance I will be able to get off work early for this one and if so I will be driving up - any of ye ucd guys are welcome to a lift - will be going from dublin and will know by 11 or so tonight if i can make it

Really need some injuries to clear up or its going to be a very under strength line up

Derry missing a good few also though - tidman, moore, beckitt, mccrystal and morrow all out for certain

Mccourt is a doubt - as are mchugh, farren, and mccafferty

Deery returns from suspension

Yes, we were all very surprised (!!) to see us drawn away from home in 5 of our 6 cup games this year. It was a real surpirse, which nobody predicted and nobody could have foreseen, that we would get away to Derry twice in the quarter finals of both competitions.

The fact that these away games are tricky and are likely now to both result in defeats is just unfortunate. It also means the big clubs will be left in the semis which is good for the profile of the cup competitions.

So these completley unpredictable draws result in lots of travel and likely defeats for us.

A tremednous pity because we have played very well in patches this season and if we gotten a kinder draw, who knows. But such is the vagaries of a draw in football cup competitions where it is just simply impossible to predict who you will draw.

Good that Morrow is out but McCourt, McHugh and Farren look set to be available.

Also don't know what makes Roberston think we play 4-5-1.

Drew them in the semis in the League Cup.

Same injuries as Sligo, it appears. King and McMillan to play. Not looking good...

**DmanDmythDledge** · 20/09/2007, 5:51 PM

Quigley
Mahon
Shorthall
McMillan
Kenna
Conan
King
McFaul
McWalter
Finn
Sammon

Interesting to see how McMillan will do now that he won't be playing alongside McNally.
