Derry were leading by 1 point before the match.

Stephen Kenny was the opposing manager that night too.

Does Colin Healy A) take him down and destroy City's unblemished 0 fouls in 2014 statistic; or B) does he let him run on safe in the knowledge that if there is a God he won't allow such moral rectitude go unrewarded?

e) Healy politely asks for the ball, Towell recognises Healys request and obliges. Towell then trips of his own accord, falls on Healys foot, and as usual, the anti-cork ref steps in and gives the free and Cork are ridden rock solid - but they dont circle the ref and whinge for ten minutes at every decision, and if you see that you are just anti-cork !! The anti-cork media report it as a foul too of course, but what do they know.

I'd go for B) to be honest - we will win the league at some stage in the future - that 0 fouls in 1 year statistic will never be repeated.

Wanted Dundalk to win it most of the season and i'd be happy for Kenny but after Cork's comeback it'd be hard to begrudge them the title.

With regards to relegation, hope Ucd go down, the Bowl is one of the few grounds in the country I haven't been in but I think I can live with that for another while. Hopefully it's Athlone and Galway in the play off, flip of a coin as to who i'd prefer. Would prefer to see Galway do well but i'd be lying if I said I wouldn't like to see Athlone and Longford playing each other in the Premier.

Did ye not also get an allocation in the stand. There are usually 100 away seats there. Cork may not have put these up for sale to fans.

I was indifferent about who'd win before, but now my mind is made up.

**marty** · 21/10/2014, 2:41 PM

Fair play....going to be a great occasion and best of luck to both teams.Both teams deserve credit as I would have put both clubs as maybe cup finalists but not league contenders! I don't envy either by the way,the nerves would be shot.

I don't know. No one I know has one, and when i went to buy mine on Saturday I wasn't offered the opportunity.

I do know one City fan is after buying some online for that section. That is going to be interesting.

Edit: Entirely possible the 100 Stand tickets went to players/sponsors.

I suspect Cork kept these tickets for the families of players. I'd imagine there will quite a big demand from players to bring families considering what is at stake.

These tickets are separate from the allocation for officials and directors. They are seated elsewhere in the main stand.

If Cork fans have "home" tickets for anywhere, the stand would be the best and safest place. The stand in Oriel Park tends to have mostly elderly fans and people with young familes.

there is somewhere in the region of 100-200 home tickets in the hands of city fans. im glad im not one of them. I reckon if they show any sign of being city fans they will be removed

If they are sensible and stay in small groups, they'll be fine. If they have ground tickets, they should stay as far away from the shed as possible. The trick will be to avoid drawing attention to themselves.
