QuoteIt's absolutely hilarious if Dundalk have managed to throw the league away to a poor Cork side right at the end. Cork should be able to secure at least a draw there now.

Ok Derry didn't use our normal back four but it was a strong team on.
Put your mortgage on Bohs at home V Derry next Friday!
ps the weather was absolutely appalling.

It's pretty funny that the huge goal difference the RTE lads have been banging on about for months is totally meaningless now.
Buses only I'd say, the Cork to Dublin train goes to Heuston so it'd involve a switch across the city to Connolly station.
It doesn't if you have a special train running, as they have the wherewithal to get across to the nortern line.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Here's a nice video posted by te Irish Examiner of our game last night

maybe we don't play the most attractive football but a poor side doesn't win 22 out of 32 games only losing 4 of those. Dundalk will have to attack from the start and given our last 2 visits to oriel that worries me but it's great to go up there when a draw would be enough. They will be all over us because they have to but that should leave them vulnerable to counter attacks.. Will the old temporary stand be up again yeah?
Any LOI team that requires 2500 on a regular basis is screwed in my opinion.
17 clean sheets and we're still a poor side. Doesn't say much about everyone else!
600 is the number being thrown about but I'm not sure. Few more on top of that from the tickets on sale last week online. What's the capacity?
a poor Cork side with 72 points, 22 wins, and 17 clean sheets.
Goals win games, Defences win Championships.
Oriel Park has 3,200 seats with room for up to an additional 1,800 standing fans.
Cork will be allocated the away section which has a capacity of 600 for security and segregation purposes.
Ticket sales are going well in Dundalk with the stand almost sold out.
A well deserved win for Athlone last night, could have been more than 2. First goal was a cracker.
I wonder if we can apply to the FAI just to skip our game against Sligo next week and call it a 0-0 draw?
What a finish we have in store next Friday, top and bottom. I hope Cork win it just because it would be hilarious if Dundalk threw it away.
There were about 40 Rovers fans at the game.
O'Sullivan's half-time rant was very Delia Smith. Seemed to be having a go at the supporters who actually go to games, as if it's their fault that Limerick doesn't care about its football team. Screaming down the microphone like a mad man.
Stand SOLD OUT
Remaining ground tickets on sale from Oriel on Monday, Dundalk are advising that they expect it to be sold out by Tues or Weds
I would like to be the first to congratulate Cork on their league victory
Long Live King Kenny
Ah now what's this reverse psychology? Don't be jinxing us now ha.. All I'm worried about is getting a ticket on Monday first, already have bus booked but those tickets won't last long. Can see us having to soak up a lot of pressure but I'm very confident in our defense. That being said I want us to attack ourselves and go for the win. A lot of nerves would be settled if we went ahead
I hope the 10 Cork lads that routinely turn up in Oriel Park will get tickets. It would be ridiculous if they are forgotten about.
I expect Cork to sit deep. They have a habit of sitting off teams when they are in the lead (which they effectively are in this tie).
The club are making sure the real fans get the the tickets with trustees and members getting tickets today and tomorrow and season ticket holders like myself on Monday. Yeah we annoyingly sit way too deep but one goal for ye and its all changed so yes we will have to our fair share of defending but also important to try for a goal when possible. No chance of a temporary stand? Ye would make a killing off it for sure
