2024 FAI Cup

[outspoken]

Given how poor some of the teams in the First Division are this season (my own Included) it will be interesting to see how the "we could mix it" brigade get on. LOI v non league record in recent years is appalling no matter what excuses are offered up by the big fish in small pond followers.

Over the past 5 FAI Cup seasons, non-league clubs have one win (Maynooth v Cobh in 2021) , zero draws and 43 defeats against LOI sides

The magic of the cup!

Wins have vanished!

There's actually 8 teams from Cork there and 8 teams from Dublin, both 1/4 each.

1/2 of the draw outside of Dublin and Cork.

Two teams from Cobh seems a bit mad.

Thanks Burnside. I was wonderig what "appalling" cup record against Non-league teams Outspoken was talking about.

The town has a LOI club and a MSL club going well who reached the last-16 of last year’s Intermediate Cup. It’s impressive, how’s it mad?

I'd be worried about us v a non league team tbh. Maynooth outplayed us in LSC

Wouldn't read too much into the LSC - pre-season friendlies for the LoI sides against clubs well into their seasons. If that has an impact on non-league's record in the FAI Cup, it'll also have an impact on the LSC
