[Music] n [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] I be like it's amusing you think I'm going to for [Music] what you do don't know who you think [Music] confusing well you're very welcome here to the headquarters of the Football Association of arand here in Blanchard town for the men Roblox Fai cup sponsored by Ry Sharon the first round draw and a very exciting moment here for both the Roblox League of irand and the Football Association of Ireland the first round draw the start of the new season for the FAA cup the Roblox League of irland started two weeks ago but nonetheless we have some more exciting games coming up the draw will can go ahead with 16 teams from two divisions of the Roblox League of Ireland making up all 16 for the first round joining me here here for the tie doing me a favor with the draw is Kyle love Tran who's a member of the National League Committee in the Roblox League of irand and ambulance who's a two times winner of the Roblox League of irand and a winner of the FI cup and as well as that joining me as a representative of RTE kilan Clark and well respected member in the Irish Community kilan thanks very much for coming on to the show and there's one huge thing coming up here r t Shar and I have their new contract with the fbii and the Roblox leag of Arden for broadcasting all these games you know what was your thinking behind the whole momentum to have uh an official agreement in place to broadcast these matches well look first of all thanks for having me uh but also you know for a long time there's been a lack of an official or significant agreement between RT and the FI and I felt that you know I don't know how my predecessors felt anyway but I felt as director General that you know there should be a significant agreement there to recognize the contribution that the FI has made to our culture and uh more generally the contribution the FI has made to broadcasting I felt that was important to consecrate in paper yeah uh some exciting draws coming up here killing I don't know if you are an avid sport follower here on the Rox in the FAA cup but if there's any tie that you're probably looking out for you know what would you be looking for in a game would you be looking for something just over and back boring or really something like a Tango Thriller to be honest um I think there's been some consistent scores I wish I had the usern names on me but there has been a lot of consistent scores uh previously in the Fai of course and I think this draw you can tell because the people watching are obviously it's a bit of a nail Biser but um let's be honest there's no particular Partnerships or you know draws I'm looking for here I think it'll be more so you'll see that culminate in games and um you know when the strikers obviously throw it back into the N you'll realize damn this was a bit of a ridiculous pairing but um it's hard to tell at first when they come out with the cup yeah and finally it's going to be the well the last season so far in the contract for sponsorships off the FI cup uh do you want RT to continue that sponsorship would you like to go for another venture uh be the proud Main sponsor or you think you're just done with it all together look uh no matter what happens this season anyway I do not think that it is in the realm of possibility that RTE will be ending this partnership uh under my Premiership anyway we're going to look to continue that agreement because like I said earlier look the FI it has a huge contribution to our broadcasting it has a huge contribution to the link between the two communities you know Roblox soccer and of course the Republic of Ireland or to act as a link between those two communities and certainly uh the FI a is a link between the two uh broadcasting Partnerships that's something I'm going to look to continue I don't think people want to end that at all kilan Clark thanks for coming on to the draw here H director general of radio tele Aaron just a reminder of the people who are doing the draws for tonight for the home team for the home side apologies is Kyle lrien we said this before but kale I just want to ask you a question again before we get into the stuff and R and show you the teams is there any particular draw that you're looking out for like between two sides would you like to see a two first division sides battl l or just a a mix between Premier and first yeah I think if you're a club own to coming into a draw you would always love to get your biggest Rivals of course mine being a town so was get a town the draw I would be very happy yeah join beside you as well is ambulance who I said earlier was a two times winner of the roblx league of Ireland Premier Division and the uh FAA cup ambulance an exciting time coming up here for the r fi cup uh I just want to ask you there's probably the biggest question that's going to be happen in the season the current holders at the FA Cup are Kerry FC do you think kry will hold that dominance or will they drop it honestly we have to see yeah because currently our form's been a bit dodgy first two games but we we have to see throughout the competition but yeah really just really excited for this yeah well gentlemen thanks very much and next thing you ask you to do is to empty the balls from the bowl into the FI Cup trophy in all its Glory as you can see right there first used back in 1931 by the Football Association of Ireland and as you can see the balls are been

actually want to follow the cup so gentlemen what a draw for all teams there and of course we'll have a look back at all the ties in a few moments T kale first of all I want to go back to you that last draw that we had there long for to taking on shelburn you know something you probably want to see um yeah I can't really speak um it's hard when you're to be the last team pulled out because you could get anybody especially when we got down to the last six teams there was treat United there was rexord it was kry I was really starting to scratch my head there and I wanted to get out of the room but no I'll take sh bur mon here yeah ambulance um out of all those ties what would you think is your favorite anyway favorite it's got to be Rexford man like I know some of the guys are I not some of the guys in wfi are buzzing but we we have we have to stay bit humble and uh just just wait for it to come we'll play through the game and yeah we'll see what happens in it so yeah um really an absolute shocker we're just getting a bit of confirmation here off the ti coming back after that entire draw myself as league president it's definitely a lot of draws to look out for and of course you'll be definitely looking for some high scoring games and um hopefully some on RT television as well as you're seeing right now um it's already up to kilan Clark if he really wants to send all his cameras down to let's see bloody and Shakur are even I don't even know if they'd do this if they headed over to MW Park uh K I want to ask you a question as well you know as member of national league committee you're obviously probably involved in the running forwards of the both the FEI Cup and the RT FAA cup current sponsorship of RTE you know do you think it's beneficial for the cup or do you think it's absolutely rotten oh oh yeah 100% like it was the one thing me and uh you pursued when the rxm um sponsorship of the FI cup ran out in late season two after the FAA Cup Final in that season um so yeah no it's brilliant it's brilliant able to have a national broadcast broadcast in our games it really grows the league and you can see how beneficial has been since the league started we had 400 members when R started streaming our games we've now gone to approaching a, and that is really beneficial to us being able to reach out into the community of Ireland and look obviously we haven't got on all the time and there's a few fallouts there between the fbii and irand but it's good now to have a domestic League like League of Island and the Football Association of Island all working together as a three over four already included so know it's brilliant for the league and Brilliant for the cop but uh yeah look it's been a a Brillion draw um ambulance I don't know I think you're very happy that he got City again after the result last night no C City I feel like yeah most most of the guys are buzzing but seeing the fixures after the Jaws yeah it's going to be a tough game tough tough cup as well long it's going to be a tough run for us but we we've got all the time we need to prepare for it and we take it step by step yeah definitely of course and look it was a great win for exit last night um 10 n was it 9 N 10 N 9 nil so was 9 do you want to go for more 10 n 11 n maybe 12 13 n well yeah that's the main objective we just needed score the goals I mean after our first game in the league it was a bit d but I feel like we came back with the right mentality and we we put it back in we put it back in the standards got 90 but could have got my first goal back from rejoining with Rexford after a long retirement but still won it got the three points still got more to go for man yeah 100% well Lads an exciting draw and just a reminder looking back at the actual draw that we had and the final draw uh all TI to be played week ending September 15th 2024 of course K Ramblers playing home to Dairy City Finn harp home to shammer Grovers Aon home to goway UCD
