Cork in the cup

[Guts&Glory]

Jaysus they break your heart, a few weeks ago they were terrible against Bray then last night (and in fainress last Friday) they are like men posessed.............brilliant stuff and a drink needed post game!!

Nice to have a good atmosphere back in the Showgies as well.

Bit longer highlights package here (http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0617/1news_av.html?2563964,null,230) and brief interview with Cook and Raf.

Maybe you should...is it not true that Sligo left the ground with several thousand euros in cash?...

I saw the money being signed for and taken away by officials from Sligo...



Did they get what they where entitled to?NO!!!!

[sligoman]

If Cork still owe us money then I assume Rovers didn't hand over money to them last night? At least I hope they didn't!

On Friday night Cork City officials put our club officials through absolute hell and even some abuse.After quite a bit of coming and going we got PART only of what we where due.This was sorted out last night.

Not related to the gate money issue Dermot, but i read in another thread on here yesterday that Chris Butler has been released, is that true?

I assume then, that an official complaint has been made to the FAI???

[redobit]

Where would you get entertainment like that for €15. Quality.

Love to get Shams in the Showgrounds, we owe them big time and what a gate we would have. The Ref an our second choice keeper got the hoops through last time.

Would take anyone except Shams, Bohs or Derry away , using simple maths as I am not good at numbers if there are 16 teams left there is 15 teams we can draw either home or away so 30 possible outcomes of which we don't want the 3 mentioned above away so therefore would think we have a 90% chance of a decent draw or even an 80% chance of avoiding the 3 teams above altogether , the maniac can probably do us a better probability model with a few deltas and gammas , just hope we can get a decent draw and bring in a bit of revenue from a cup run, the omens are good as we have beaten a team from Cork considering we never win the cup when we don't.

I'll think you'll find we never win the cup when we get beaten by anyone.

Christ, slow day in work!?!

[prodsc]

Any news on when the draw is?. As we have nearly 2 months to the game it will be a few weeks yet.Plenty of cup games in August, lets hope the Ford game is a home draw.

[sligoman]

Draw for next round is July 6th.

Great times, but the situations arent really comparable for a few different reasons such as being treble winners the previous season, sucess in europe, football in Sligo was at its peak

But with a bit of luck i really think the club could reach those heigths again soon, the club is really well run at the moment and looking to improve all aspects, we have an excellent manager and players and the recession in the econmy has made the playing field a bit more level than it was in the last few years.

Give it a few years Marty. 10 maybe, but something eventually will be done!

its a pity that went. from my memories of going there in the mid nineties it was the place to be in. I even got a whack of an umbrella from a supporter there!:eek:
