Ref was shocking. All decisions were a lottery. How McNulty, Bolger and O'Donnell with the hand ball didn't get sent off I don't know how.Originally Posted by Pablo Escobar
Didn't really have any major impact on the game though as Cork fully deserved their victory.
Fortunately it was the inept Kelly who was referee.
If it had been Buttimer the game would never have finished.
Some say it was only a friendly but there was nothing held back out there.
Rodgers was superb for Dundalk & was easily their best player.
He made some brilliant saves especially the double save in the 2nd half from Turners free kick & the follow up from Sheppard.

Trackchamp is completely different. Quality is passable, but nowhere as good as yesterday. The President's Cup was filmed with a proper camera with a cameraman operating it.
Just wondering Cork fans....this new lad O'Connell...any truth he's related to Paulie ?
Who is Paulie?
His brother is Andy O'Connell, and his father is Damien. Both played for City, I think Andy is at Galway now? Has possibly played for Cobh in the recent past.
Cousin.
Andy is back at Cobh.
It would be great if we could hold on to Eoghan after June, but based on what I've seen so far, Celtic will be wanting him back.

Two nice goals there.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
The second one is brilliant, perfect cross in by O'Connell and great finish by Maguire. Rogers was unlucky with the first one having made a great save. Was great to see us beating dundalk but the real thing starts Friday. Thought we played really well the other day so hopefully for something similar on Friday.
Also, dunleavy hugging the president ha brilliant.
Didn't this used to be the Super Cup? When did it become the Presidents Cup so?
this is the third year of the current presidents cup. it was last played early noughties.. its a completely diff competition as we played in the super cup in 01/02 season!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Super Cup was played 4 years. 1998-2001
Winners were
98 Rovers
99 Pats
00 UCD
01 Shels
Teams were the 4 European qualifiers. 1st year was 2 double headers played over one weekend
Next 2 years was standard one leg knock out
Last year was a round robin
I noticed live score app had the Presidents Cup game down as the 'super cup' last week, suppose that's fair enough as its not going to be specific just to an Irish audience. I think it's a decent warm up game for both sides each year, and having Michael D in attendance defintely adds to the occasion a little.
Someone asked on attendances last week, I think there was 1,500 or 1,800 in Oriel Park v St Pats in Feb 2015. Other recent comparisons for other cup finals crowd wise:
Leinster Sen Cup final in Oct 2015 (Dundalk v Rovers) 1,200
EA Sports Cup final in Sept 2014 (Dundalk v Rovers) 3,500.
All those games were held in Oriel Park.
I think Cork had a crowd of 1,850 last Saturday?
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Are you sure about that? I've got the following:
Semi-Finals
01 Jul 98 Shamrock Rovers 2–1 Cork City
02 Jul 98 Shelbourne 0–0 St Patricks Athletic, Pats win 5-4 pens
3rd Place Playoff
05 Jul 98 Shelbourne 1–1 Cork City, Cork win 4-1 pens
Final
05 Jul 98 Shamrock Rovers 2–0 St Patricks Athletic

Must be right so. Remembered one double header so assumed they both were.
