Well, we are at home against Waterford United. Not to bad and a game we should win, maybe ?

They did beat us last year, but hopefully we'll go into the game in good form.

In the early/mid 90's, we were drawn against Waterford Utd in the FAI Cup. The weather was really bad and the game was abondoned once, drawn and the replay was postponed 5 or 6 times. At one stage, it was 1 - 1 in the RSC when the skys opened and the ref abondoned the game. T'was a long journey home to Gaillimh. We eventually won it.

Anyone have a better of memory of this than me?

My biggest memory of them games was Jose Quitongo for Waterford and the abuse we gave him.The journeys were a nightmare.... although I think the cup game that was abandoned in Oriel Park at half time against Dundalk was the worst journey home I remember

The worst journey home was either after losing the promotion playoff to Drogheda, or the Cup final loss to Rovers in '85

I remember that we lost the rearranged match 4-3 in extra time after being 2-0 up at half time. Both journeys home turned me off Dundalk trips for life!
Another crap journey home was when a few of us travelled to Drogheda on the team bus. It was in the depths of winter and the roads were completely frozen. The *****s left us in the bar in United park.
This was in the pre mobile phone days so we had to get Paul Lennon from the star and a Drogs fan to drive us and catch up with the bus which was miles away.
The clubs appreciation of dedicated supporters has come a long way since

I've a bit of a hazy memory but I was at the abandoned game in Waterford, which I think was a replay.

It was 1-1 and ****ing down and Ronan Killeen hacked down Jose Quitongo in the box. The home fans were going mad but then 30 seconds later the ref abandoned the game.

The re-arranged game was 1-1 if I remember, I think Ricky Fla scored.

I was also at the second replay when we beat them 2-0 in Terryland.

I remember we went on to play Sligo in the next round and again there were a few postponements and a replay. If I remember correctly by the time Sligo beat us the other semi-final had already been decided.
