The tipped over, went on fire and seem on the verge of exploding.

Get back to studying you!

Are Killester still good? Thinking of backing them to beat Wexford Youths...is it likely?

They reached the final of the FAI Junior Cup this year

Their in the FAI Cup 'cos of their results last year and the third round 'cos of their results this year. Grow a pair.

Actually I think Wexford Youths will have it over them, but they'll give them a game.

That's the general opinion here. No one thinks it will be easy but we do expect to go through

Wexfod Youths vs. Killester Utd - Draw
Galway United vs. Waterford United - Draw
Douglas Hall vs. Drogheda United - Away Win
Everton vs. Carrick United - Draw
Shelbourne vs. Dundalk - Home Win
Rockmount vs. Bray - Home Win (A few unhappy Bray lads going down there on a Sunday with the break, confidence a bit lower)
Monaghan vs. UCD - Away Win
Limerick 37 vs. Cork City - Away Win
St. Pats vs. Longford Town - Home Win
Kildare County vs. Fanad United - Draw
Athlone Town vs. Finn Harps - Away Win
Derry City vs. Liffeys Pearse - Home Win
Sporting Fingal vs. Cobh - Home win of course
Bohs vs. Drogheda Town - Home Win
Shamrock Rovers vs. Sligo Rovers - Draw
St. Mary's vs. Wayside Celtic - Draw

I can see a lot of replays this weekend.
My banker is Bohemians and I can see an upset with Rockmount beating Bray.

Fatal.

Not a great draw overall there. Only Rovers v Rovers looks like much of an entertainer.

If you cant beat them, I will erase myself from foot before I even get started.

We have actually been playing a lot better recently bar the one game that we really needed to win against Cobh. We were awful that night. Too many draws though. We were probably the better team against both Pat's and Bohs but drew both games and draws won't get us out of trouble.

We actually lost to Bohs. No good being the better team if we can't win. Despite our shocking history in the cup, I personally wouldn't be too bothered if Waterford knock us out, much more important things to focus on this season and its not as if we are going to win the bloody thing, all the 'big boys' avoided each other in last 32 draw

Hope there is no one from Sligo Reading that.

The FAI Appeal Committee today considered an appeal by Kildare County against a decision of the Domestic Football Committee to instruct the club to play their Ford FAI Cup third round game against Fanad United on Saturday 7th. June.

On learning that they had been drawn at home several of the County players took it for granted that the game would be on Friday night as is usual for the club and booked to depart on their holidays on Saturday morning.
Fanad United looked for the game to take place on Saturday 7th. due to the fact that one or more of their squad were sitting their Leaving Cert examination on Friday and would not be available on time to travel.

It appears that we will be fielding at least 4 of our U18s with some senior players missing. Roughly the same line out that got beaten 5-0 by Dundalk a few weeks back. Happy Days......
