	The FAI League Cup History and Previous Winners
		The FAI League Cup is a football competition open to all Football League of Ireland clubs.
		For the most part it has been used a precursor to the league season, with 6 groups of 4 teams (geographically based), with the winners and two best runners up going on to the last eight (which started the knockout phase).
		In the late 1990s the cup went into a straight knockout format and recently has reverted to again starting with a group phase, this time with 8 groups of 3 with only the winners progressing.

		In the League Cup, City faired better than the previous seasons but were knocked out by Longford Town with an injury-time goal in the quarter-finals.

	Bore-All draw sends Blues and Cats out of League Cup
		Summing Up The football-going public made a wise move in not attending this fixture, and the general lack of interest in the League Cup was apparent for all to see again.
		When the League Cup reverted back to a knock-out competition again in 1993, it looked to have been the boost the competition needed.
		Cup ties against Derry City, Bohemians, Sligo Rovers and St.Pat's would be harder to organise, but it would be worth it.

		Having been effectively eliminated form the League Cup on Thursday night, all the Blues had to fight for here was pride, and an unlikely mathematical chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

		What jolly principled sorts the FAI would be, then, if they decided that after ejecting Rooney from the hot seat, they adhered to the Genesis principles he apparently disavowed, and advertised the position of Director of Finance.
		The feeble Irish Sports Council, who engineered the Genesis nonsense in the first place, have given the FAI a deadline of this Friday to outline their timetable for the report to be implemented, otherwise they will withdraw funding.
