Not a bad draw. Gives them a chance to test themselves against top opposition, and they're away, so no terrible home display . . . though it would've been a nice moneyspinner to have in Jackman.
Plus, if all goes to all it's one distraction out of the way early on . . .
If rovers have crowd in it will be a bigger money spinner than Jackman. Not sure what they would expect for an FAI Cup game but anything near 2,500 and it will be better for us. Jackman only allowed about 2,000 as it is and we'd have to split that with them. I expect us to bring a nice crowd up there too.
An added bonus that we didn't get another first division side too.

This match is confirmed for next Friday at 8.
I can see us doing quiet well in this match. On the road, on a decent pitch against a team that actually want to attack.
Ultimately I can't see us coming away with the win.
Shams 2-1 Limeirck after we take an early 1-0 lead against the run of play.
Hopefully the fact shams most likely won't play us again this season and the fact we have some quality players in gamble and Bradley it might bring out a decent crowd to tallaght. I can see us bring around 100 if not more. If they can even get 2,000 to 2,500 out it will be a nice split for us.
Im going for 1nil win to limerick
In last 6 games Hoops have won 2, drawn 4, struggled away to Mons tonight. Certainly weaknesses in the team, not beyond Limerick to grab something. Could easily see a draw.

I am quietly confident for this one. Limerick are not expected to win, unlike in the league so the pressure is off. I think that is why we do better away from home. A 1-1 draw I reckon with Stephen Bradley scoring.
A draw and replay it in Jackman would be a great result for us.
Hopefully not, because it'd be set for the Monday after the Longford game I think (someone can probably clarify it) but I would imagine a few of our players would have probably booked their holidays already and would be somewhere on a beach while our 19s get a run around.
Usually the games are played the following Tuesday but you could be right.
From a financial point it would be good. We get half the gate for the away match Friday and also have a nice crowd puller at home.
SCULLY for president.
To be or not to be
If there is a replay it is set for next Monday 28th of May at 7:45pm.
we need a replay against shamrock rovers in jackman like we need a hole in the head.
hopefully on the off chance its level with a couple of minutes to go dave ryan will do the decent thing!
Dribble the length of the pitch before rounding the Swedish/South African (delete as applicable) clown in Rovers goal and slotting in the winner?
