Given that they didn't go for Finn Harps v Derry just because it was a derby it wouldn't surprise me to see Derry v UCD get picked over Waterford v Cork. Are TV games ever shown from the RSC? I hope it's Derry v UCD as I doubt I'll get to it. Sick of getting cup draws up there.

longford game deffo

**Longfordian** · 27/08/2007, 5:43 PM

Home draw and oppositon from a lower division. Again.Have to be happy enough with that though I'm sure Limerick wont be too displeased either

I think TG4 showed two of the Quarter Finals live last season one on the Friday and Athlone vs Rovers on the Saturday

Last round, Blaaaa's-v-Sligo

**sligoman** · 27/08/2007, 5:55 PM

Longford have to have had the easiest run so far, Celbridge, Fanad and now Limerick all at home

Why the feck should Longford v Limerick make it on to TV ahead of Pats v Bohs or Waterford v Cork....?

Pats-Bohs has to beg tie of the round. Cork will easily dispose of Waterford, and that game is at the RSC, which are 2 good reasons not to show that one.

Lost your sarcasm detector?

There were two ties shown last year. Pat's/Bohs will obviously be shown and I'd say it's a throw up between Derry/UCD and Waterford/Cork.

Given the likes of Sligoman tried to defend TG4's decision to air the dire Waterford v Sligo game in the last round, you'll forgive me for not giving him the benefit of the doubt....

I'd go with the Waterford game, even if it is in the RSC.

From a neutral perspective I'd go with the derby but I don't know if they'll visit the same club in two successive rounds. Derry/UCD is 7th v 8th while Cork v Waterford is 6th v 11th, makes the game in the Brandywell slightly stronger on the pitch and there'll be a decent crowd up in Derry though not as big.

**sligoman** · 27/08/2007, 6:11 PM

I'll post without the sarcasm so Steve can understand...Pat's/Bohs game should be on imo. If not then Waterford/Cork.

Cant speak for every Limerick fan but this is crap for us, really wanted Cork, Bohs, Pats at home or away, financially good too but if we've any chance of going through it would prob have to be Longford or Waterford, would have been nice to be at home though, cant remember the last time we got a cracking draw in the cup

**Pauro 76** · 27/08/2007, 9:07 PM

Very happy with the draw. At home too. Think it will be a cracker too, really think Limerick could push us close, but the semis are definitely do-able for us.

**pete** · 27/08/2007, 9:36 PM

Its fairly obvious which games should be shown.

Psts v Bohs
Blaaaahs v City

Even with TV both games likely to be sell outs. Pats can hold maybe 5,000 & Waterford 2,500 at a push?

Waterford should be forced to add extra seating for the game as the RSC is inadequate to hold the game as has no terracing.

**SPXcyan** · 27/08/2007, 10:39 PM

Waterford v Cork is rarely a dire game as we seem to perform at our best against our friendly neighbours

I hope this would be on the box as there would be a big crowd at it and some good atmosphere! unless its raining

**gael353** · 27/08/2007, 10:52 PM

Crap draw for us IMO. Longford playing really well and not exactly a money spinner for us which we really needed. The last time we played Longford in the cup they beat us 2 1 in Longford the first year they won the cup. Grainny out of focus picture which tv3 had in their top LEAGUE goals for the season that year and had us (as we wear blue) down as waterford
