First round is as follows:
As for the draw itself, it was a shambles from the FAI. Supposed to be done on their YouTube channel, but the stream never began, meanwhile an unfiltered chat in the comments section led to fans abusing each other. The website on which the draw took place was very slow to update, and at one stage showed Inchicore Athletic vs Inchicore Athletic. ------------- Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam |

Both of those made me laugh as well. Remember all of those scenes of the English teams arriving in Istanbul in the 90s for game and the "warm" welcome they got ?? Those Waterford lads won't know what's hit them !!!!!!

Happy with the 4-1 win in Skerries and can't wait for the draw on Monday. Prob get Derry city away watch 12-2 win is unreal for Derry and really shows the class between PD and non league Bit of a coincidence alright with Dublin Bus vs CIE getting drawn together and Whoever gets CIE in the next round will be happy |

Yeah I'm happy anyway because my first team is still in the competition. There's an opportunity for some discounted transport to the game. Hoefully it'll be The Ranch, UCD Leinster Senior League side (who qualified on the field but are denied a place in the FAI Senior Cup) can direct UCD SSE Airtricity League. The UCD LSL side played there approx 2010, 2011 during Senior 1B season. The only match scheduled for Dublin. Before the draw, I was hoping for two all-Premier Division ties to compliment the three 'shocks' from First Division teams in the previous round. The Premier Division could impose itself very quickly in qualifying for the next round, but happy for the seven First Division teams, competitive football week in week out has stood to them.
I noticed it with the first team out of the hat CIE Ranch but then remembered they have had to survive a Preliminary round draw as well as well the first round draw. So this was the third time being used, I don't mind recycled name tags, single-use labels should be a thing of the past. ------------- www.ucdsupporters.ie |

Happy with Waterfords draw but cup football is funny and we have to on our game against UCD Derry City vs Bohs UCD vs Waterford Limerick vs Dundalk Longford Town vs Cork City Would love the semis to be Waterford vs Bohs and Dundalk vs Cork City but tbh a Dundalk or Cork City cup win could suite Waterford if we finish 4th in the league (We get the last Europa league spot)

Has it been confirmed that Waterford will be allowed to play in Europe? There had been question marks over it the club actually would be allowed as technically it's a new club and you must be playing 3 years to be allowed into Europe

This should have been confirmed ages ago, there are four clubs chasing fifth and it could be a very exciting finish. Is their any history of a club getting a dispensation on this or is that just optimism from Waterford? ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

My understanding is that even though there was a new trading entity set up, all the debts of the previous entity were paid up and therefore Waterford will be eligible for Europe. Is the FAI cup one of the most rigged draws in Europe? Handy draws for the top 3 teams in the league and the next ranked team get a home draw. I'm not very good at maths, but Cork and Dundalk have avoided each other for the last 3 semi finals in a row, I wonder what the mathematical probability of them avoiding each other in four consecutive semi final draws would have been. Any mathematicians out there?

I'd be surprised if we've heard the last of this but back to the FAI Cup anyway. Odds are slightly under 20% for 4, just under 30% for three in a row. Surprised people think the FAI want a City - Dundalk final, I'd say they'd love a new tie as would everyone. ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

There have been FAI Cup ties between both clubs for the past three years. It's a misrepresentation to suggest otherwise. Football teams have been excluded from the FAI Cup this year like other years, this is stuff to get concerned about. Delighted for the UCD AFC v Waterford FC tie. Two previous cup ties used up three different venues so UCD Bowl will be a fourth venue. Pretty cool. #COYBIB ------------- www.ucdsupporters.ie |

I'm talking about them being drawn together. Playing each other is not the issue. And I'm talking about them being drawn together very specifically in semi final draws, because there is a 1/3 chance of them being drawn together in a semi final draw, therefore logically it is likely they would have been drawn together at least once in the 3 draws that have happened in the last 3 years. This has not happened. I would bet they won't be drawn together this year either if they both make the semis.

I don't think you understand the maths all that well to be honest. 30% is about 7-3 in betting terms. Shamrock were probably what 11-2 to win last night? So while it wasn't the most like outcome there is nothing alarming about it. Again there's probably noone in the country that wants another City - Dawk final so I just don't get this theory. ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

Dundalk vs UCD Bohs/Derry vs City Very good chance of seeing a City-Dundalk final for the fourth season running, but while Dundalk should get past UCD without too much issue, Bohs or Derry will be a tough test for City. ------------- Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam |

Unlucky city today thought the team executed the game plan well today. A bad mistake from griff who isnt really up to this level imo, would love KOC back especially given how bad our set piece delivery is at times. It was an excellent cross by Gannon to capitalise on the mistake though. So i guess congrats to dundalk, enjoy the off season and when we return it will no doubt be up to us again to provide some resistance next year  ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

Well done Dundalk, just the better side, shields is a terrific center mid, decent match I thought. Cork are a very unlike able bunch, Cummins and Sheppard should be on stage at the abbey Be interesting to see if John Caulfield can put together a challenge next season, he’s done an incredible job so far but it’ll be the team that spends next season that’ll get closest to Dundalk , the blues or rofuss maybe?

Rovers finished 15 off Cork this season, but in the second half of the season Rovers collected 3 more points than Cork, the second series of games killed Rovers this season. I can’t see Rovers having such a bad start next season & Cork having such a good start especially if they’re trimming high earners. I’d fully expect it to be far closer next season And I can’t see em dropping 10/12 points against a team with 1/3 their budget next season too
although I hope I’m wrong on all counts! |

Yeah, it's actually quite funny. It's as if the rest of the league don't realise how poor they are. We never really got going at all this season and still ended up with a big points total. If we were to finish outside of the top 3, even with a substantial loss of players from the squad (and let's not forget, they'll be replaced), but still with a sizeable budget relative to most clubs, it would be a disaster. I just don't see it at all. |

I'm biased but can't see how anyone can say Dundalk were much the better team yesterday. Sure, in the round, they are much better but not yesterday. For all the talk of their passing game there was v little between the sides and 95% of Dundalks pressure / chances came from good old fashioned set pieces. I thought both teams were v poor in ball retention generally. On the positive side it was a cracking atmosphere, great crowd from both teams (v impressive from Dundalk given their size, v impressive from Cork given the 7 hour round trip) and no rancour at all. Anyways congrats to Dundalk. Hard to see them being stopped next year either.
