Harps picking up another 3 points last night and getting closer. We have 3 games in hand and you can wipe out the 2 Rover's games. our only chance is getting something is from cork game.
We have a terrible record when it comes to playoffs..... Less said the better

You'd have to say fair play to him. He's stepped up from Limerick to Waterford to Linfield.

If there was ever an All Ireland league they'd definitely be up there challenging.

Important game tomorrow. The cup is another chance at saving our season...unfortunately i cant see a cup run happening but at least lets hope it doesnt end against MUT.

Kick off is 15:00.

PTH2009

2-0 win today and into the final 16 of the cup.

Almost all the top teams in the hat but 3/4 non league too. Be nice to get a cup run and heres hoping a good draw. Dont think we have squad depth to go far but ya never knw

Gardner

Ordinary enough display. Didn't expect much more. Some premier local league clubs have a better setup than them but it was great for them to have a big day out. Draw any team in the premier and we will struggle to get past them. Important 2 games coming up. We can right off the Rover's game so it should be all out for the Cork game.

Decent draw but lots of travelling

FAI CUP: After Sunday's win over Maynooth, the Blues are back on the road in the Second Round with a 450km away tie against Glengad United in Donegal. Match to be played on w/e August 25th. #FAICup

PTH2009

Draw for the third round of the Scottish Challenge cup takes place tomorrow

2 clubs from Northern Ireland Football League (Ballymena United & Glenavon)
2 clubs from Welsh Premier League (The New Saints & Connah’s Quay Nomads)
2 clubs from League of Ireland Premier Division (Waterford & Bohemians)
2 clubs from English National League (Solihull Moors & Wrexham)
10 clubs from Ladbrokes Championship
14 winners from second round
Pre-draw to determine which country will be allocated Pot A, Pot B, Pot C & Pot D to avoid 2 cross-border teams from the same country playing each other. Pot E has 24 Scottish teams'

In other words we will be drawn into one of Pots A-D and will face Scottish Opposition either home or away on 7/8 Sep

Will be along to watch you in this one, Glengad a local team to me.

No announcement yet if they plan to hold the tie at their own ground, or possibly move it to somewhere bigger with seating. If they did this, it would likely be Maginn Park in Buncrana.

Hearts Colts (Under 21s) at home

Not as far but still a long journey up

Got text from supporters club saying they need a minimum of 30 for a bus to go up to the game

They get great numbers travelling to games and possibly will get it for this but long day tbf. Leaving RSC at 9am and back after the game

Time and date not announced yet for the Hearts Colts game in the RSC

A 2-1 defeat tonight against Cork, only consolation for Waterford is Finn Harps got thumped 5-0

Yeah and UCD got beaten 10-1 by Bohs

Really hard to see us getting anything Monday night against Rovers

Think it's time to get a new manager and start from scratch. Survival in the premier league is a must or we will see a very different club next season

The club's model appears to be fundamentally flawed.

They seem to be repeating the same pattern of before of doing well, running out of steam, and then the club's backers either can't afford to keep it going or decide it isn't worth it.

Given that Waterford is genuinely a football mad town, and we have some really good junior clubs, the club should only need to be going outside the region for the odd quality player - whereas now it's just a club owned by an English guy who happen to play their games in Waterford.

Were ****e but Byrne is a class act and deserves to be on the Irish squad but dont think he will make the cut

Which he did, they are well and truly in a relegation dog fight now. Final score 5-1 to Rovers

PTH2009

crap performance which really leaves us in a bad place. We just have to pray UCD and Finn Harps pick up very few points in there games and we somehow get a few wins/draws. Finish 9th and we then play the winners of the first division playoff for Premier survival.

Were in cup action in Donegal on Sat 24th Aug against Glenagad Utd and a win will see us in a cup QF. Our form atm suggests we have no chance of winning the cup

The Block E lads in full voice again tonight. Att of 1283

How is Rennie still in the job ?. Out of our last 14 in all competitions we have won 3 games, drew 1 and lost 9

Johnboy1951

Whoever is responsible for training needs to get back to basics and get them comfortable and accurate passing the ball, as well as controlling it on receipt.
Too much desperate hoofing the ball away instead of controlled defence.

At least in the second half they mostly pressured the guy on the ball and did a lot better.

Nice goal by Galvin but not much else to be happy about.

You can ****ing stick those wins up your hole. This is an absolute disgrace. It's people like you who make cheap excuses for this club.

Well Noby what's your piss weak excuse now? Yourself and a few others could never see anything wrong with either Rennie or the Club for so long.
Rovers, Derry and Cork are our next 3 games and i'd expect either another big fat 0 or maybe scrape a draw Vs Cork. Harps have sligo Pat's and Cork over the next 3 games and i'd expect them to close the gap. With 9 games to go the only definite points i see is vs UCD.

Said it a while ago, when Europe was gone Rennie should have gone! there has probably being 1 stand out signing since the start of the season which speaks volumes on both Rennie and the Club. Will we see the Powers back in the RSC next season??

Cup action tomorrow against non league team Glengad Utd in Buncrana. The BSC didnt get numbers for a bus

Hope for a win but would be only covering the cracks as were not strong enough to win the cup imo.

Woah! What the actual!

Forgive me for trying to be optimistic. I actually don't have a "piss weak excuse" for that.


i'm done with this thread. I'll just keep my ill-judged optimism to myself in future.

PTH2009

Into the QFs of the cup after a 2-0 win away to Glengad utd. Was 0-0 at HT

We join Bohs, Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers, Sligo Rovers, UCD, Galway Utd and Crumlin utd or Lucan Utd in mondays draw (8.35am RTE radio 1)

if we can avoid the first 3 teams in that list we have a decent chance of getting to the semis but there still not easy teams and as we learnt last year dont take any team for granted

We're due a home draw as have had 5 away draws in a row in FAI Cup between this and last season. I'd be happy with any of Galway,UCD or Crumlin or Lucan. A good run in the Cup will give a bit of a lift to the season which is badly needed.
