Draw Monday, presumably on C-MNS.
Teams are:
Rovers Pats
Harps/Avondale
Derry/Drogs
Interesting to see if Pats can break their gypsy curse on the thing and Rovers are well overdue win number 25. Derry and Drogs have more recent experince winning it, but hard to see them as favourites.
My head says home to Harps please, but it would be nice to stuff Pats in the Semi. The final will be a friendlier affair if one of the rural clubs is in it rather than the lesser Dublin Derby. ------------- He is Karl Pilkington in the LOI section and Karl Marx outwith it |

In another 'you couldn't make it up' moment from the FAI, the draw and press is in Cork at a car shop and on Soccer Republic. Every club has to send one official and the manager.
So assuming Harps win, Derry, Harps, Rovers and Pats have to overnight two people minimum down in Cork for the draw at their own expense. ------------- He is Karl Pilkington in the LOI section and Karl Marx outwith it |

Its my understanding that the draw is live at c10pm, so realistically its an overnight.
My point is that dragging 4 groups of officials across the country to please a rural car salesman is a bit much - is there no dealership in Athlone? ------------- He is Karl Pilkington in the LOI section and Karl Marx outwith it |

Maybe Pats lost seven finals coz on the day they were shít?? I mean, call me daft for not believing in this Gypsy Meg ate my hamster curse and all, but it could just be the simple explanation No? A Rovers v Pats final would probably draw more of the neutral in Dublin interest and arguably Pats are a better quality side to watch at an aggregate level, despite Derry having some great individual talent like McEleney, McNamee and McBride. But I think Rovers v Derry would draw a far larger attendance and better atmosphere. Would easy top 20k, perhaps 25k once the FAI get their pricing right. €5 for kids & OAPs and fill the place up. Apologies to Harps fans, don't see them beating any of the other 3 teams.

Ok, you had a bit of bad luck alright I grant ya. But to ascribe it's reason to some oul hag Witchdoctor's curse from the cartoon page in The Sunday World is stretching things. You could say many teams are "unlucky" in Cup Finals btw (us against Sligo on Penos, Drogheda losing to last minute winner, etc) "unluckiness" in cup finals just tends to be the nature of the beast.

I think the two games are usually on around 2 and 4pm on the Sunday. Would have to assume our game will be on at 4pm so. It wouldn't surprise me if Derry played for the replay, so I'd expect a battle ahead. Confident enough Nutsy will be shrewd enough though to get the job done though. I think Harps relied on getting a home draw here to have any hope so you can't look past Pats in the other semi ------------- Some Clubs Are Bigger Than Others |

Haha!Only seeing this now as I was out on my farm....I really don't have a notion to be honest. We haven't really had a game of this magnitude in this time so it's hard to tell. Donegal people love a good bandwagon though! How many would it take to fill out the shed? Disappointed as I heard it was the muckers at home 1st but as Ringerbell said it's handy for me as I live in Dublin. Better than Shams away as well atmoshere wise as Richmond Park is a great stadium. Where would be best for away fans to drink before hand? Have only been in Taveys before game but it doesn't strike me as a place a rake of Harps fans could rock up to!!
