FAI Cup

Am I right in thinking it is on tonight!

**Jofspring** · 10/10/2007, 12:05 PM

i'm presuming you mean the draw for it or have i missed the draw already??

**Red Youth** · 10/10/2007, 12:06 PM

Yea, draw for the semi-final of the FORD FAI Cup is on tonight. Going out live on 6.1 news.

I was very disappointed to hear lots of people in Belfield last Monday talking about this draw alleging some kind of conspiracy - most distressing.

To suggest that our premier cup competition might be tainted in such a way was quite disillusioning. The draw will fall the way it falls - the fact that UCD have been drawn away from home in 7 out of 8 cup games this year and 3 out of 4 last year is just unfortunate, and bad luck.

Seasoned observers tell me that the year we won the cup we were away from home every round. It happens - and any suggestion of high jinks is unfortunate, disappointing and is misplaced paranoia.

All this talk of 2 big clubs in the final and heated and cold balls - I for one do not accept that the FAI would in any way mess about with the integrity of our premier cup competition albeit with a misplaced well intention of a "big" final.

bohs vs cork
ucd vs longford

**sligoman** · 10/10/2007, 5:48 PM

Bohemians Vs. Cork City
U.C.D. Vs. Longford Town

I predict Cork Vs. UCD in final

.

**RonnieB** · 10/10/2007, 5:50 PM

Would have prefered a home tie. Will be very tricky. Is the Bohs/Cork game on the friday and UCD vs Longford on the sunday?

**Sonic** · 10/10/2007, 5:52 PM

Great chance for either Longford or UCD to get to the final.

**michaelguineys** · 10/10/2007, 5:53 PM

Worst possible draw for us.
For fu uck sake

Yeah, that's what was announced. Strange- thought it would have been the other way round.

No way!

**RonnieB** · 10/10/2007, 5:54 PM

Yes indeed, I can safely say we will see the winner in the final

**NY Hoop** · 10/10/2007, 5:55 PM

Cark longford final would be best final for a host of reasons.

You'd have to bet on one of them getting through alright...

**michaelguineys** · 10/10/2007, 5:59 PM

We'll find it very tough to beat Boh's in Dalymount.
Fingers crossed though

**pineapple stu** · 10/10/2007, 6:05 PM

Well, I hope if we do get knocked that Longford get to the final instead. Always liked them.

The conspiracy theorsists had a 50-50 chance of the draw going their way and giving their nonesense claims re a rigged draw a degree of credibility.

Instead - with this draw, they just look like the fools they are......

Heated balls indeed.....
