Er..yeah of course we'll be favourites but St. Pat's won't make it easy for us! Oh well..can't be in the final every year. Hope there's a decent enough crowd that we get some cash out of it.
St Pats away! Thanks to Giovanni! Tough draw, should be a cracker tho! We can take them
Thoughts?

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
more important decent pre/after game pints in my old local !!!
when is the game ??
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
just thinkin of previous matches we have played pats in any cup competition this decade I have counted five:
2001 fai cup we won after a replay keith o connor with the winner
2003 league cup final lost 1-0 to a late dave freeman winner
2003 fai cup final obviously you know the rest
2006 fai cup the famous 4-1 massacre in incicore when nothin went right for us..
obviously nine years ago we lost to pats in a peno shootout in the league cup
Dont think we are goin to win but it would be lovely to bring them to a replay.. strangely enough the last team we were in the bottom flght 1999/00 season we knocked out a top flight club in waterford utd...
u never know in the cup thats the beauty of it.. Im sure Kirbs will get a great reception off us as for that traitor paisley... thought I would never be in McDowells again...
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Yes I was there that night as far as I can recall! Those were the days..

Yup looking forward to this alright. Bloody toughest draw of all for us unbelievably. However it will be a good indication of what exactly we have on our team at present. McDowells here we come. Hopefully a good crowd will come for us too.
Of all the draws to get.... The runaway League leaders. Still it's our specialist competition, maybe the Cup magic is still there, why not, we can but dream of a run to boost our coffers.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
It's a pity Carlsberg don't sponsor the cup anymore, because if they did....
... St Patrick's Athletic 0 - 1 Longford Town
Paisley (OG) 93
Pats away on a friday night, it'll be like the old days!
Happy enough with the draw, easy ground to get to, and not that far away. With half the gate, we should be able to get something from the game financially, and who knows if Davoren is on his game we could snatch a result
