Cork Away 29/9/09 0-0

[sligoman]

No thread on this match yet. Very difficult game and with Pat's win tonight we really need to start picking up points or we'll definitely be in a play-off. We'd be doing well to get anything tomorrow night, a point wouldn't be a total shock though. 1-1 or Cork win 2-1 is my prediction.

FORAS are doing a protest outside the ground til 10mins after kick-off...we'll have to out-sing them for the first 10mins anyway:D.

[CF1989]

massive game! only 8 games to go now and the season will pass by quicky, need to get more wins together and get outa this. id be hopefully of getting a point anyway....we've got a terrible away record though. 2 wins in the league all season away

[red_away]

We need to forget the saturday nite carry on and get some points as we have dropped further into the mire....we saying we are better well now is the time to prove it....mid week away in the league!!!

if we could win this it would do wonders for confidence and drain all those teams around us!

[red arrow]

say a prayer lads that we get something from this game

[dong]

To be honest, I think we're doomed to the play off now already but we have to make sure we finish ahead of Drogheda which is by no means a certainty.
I read some comments on the other thread that "We are in a dogfight now"! No sh1t lads! We've been bottom of the league or thereabouts all year in reality. We've let in more goals than any other team in the division. I think the dogfight started a long long time ago but we weren't ready for it.
A draw tonight would be a great result. We have a full squad to chose from so we have a chance of salvaging something. Possible team to start:

Brush
Boco
Keane
Peers
Kendrick
Cash
O'Grady
Ventre
Doyle
Cretaro
Blinkhorn

Say a prayer lads that they get to the game, got a worrying update from the Dooley express, broke down, half the bus are angry but the other half have consoled themselves with refreshments, just hope those brave lads can pull through and make the kick off

[clubman]

0-0 at the Cross, good result not an easy place to go to on a Tuesday ... not an easy place to go to any night :)

[Well Red]

Very good point, could be so important at the run in, fair play to the BIT.

[redobit]

Decent point

Anyone else notice Aertel had us 1 up after about 5 minutes, with no goalscorer name up.

AFIK he'll be gone for home games v Galway and Bray.:mad:

oh yeah- they play a game 14 Nov which is in the middle of play offs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dong]

Killer blow. We're half the team without him.
Great point to get last night. Delighted. Gives us a slim chance of avoiding the play offs.

bus started to smell at about 3 pm not long after gort. we made it to about 20 miles from limerick then she just wouldnt take any more. a bearing went in the back right wheel. forced to stop at a shop somehwere and wait for further developments

6 of us decided to get a taxi to cork from there. rory h got onto gerry boy and sorted it out. 230 euro in total, 40 each, and got there at half 6. the rest of the lads only made the 2nd half, our bus driver booked a local bus company to bring them from where the bus broke down. he sent a bus from sligo to cork then and that got to us at half 11 and we were home at 4. all for the worst game we've seen in years.

up the bit o'red

Great post....!

[Rory H]

The fumes were great, made the game so much better. RIP Dooley's blue bus version one.

Strange game, point was fair. Games are running out, next two league games are huge.

[thesilverfox]

could it be the end of a beautiful relationship with the dooley express?

[Rory H]

He actually was v sound about it, these things happen anyway.

[CF1989]

could it be the end of a beautiful relationship with the dooley express?

NEVER!

on and upwards on saturday to belfast! he rang a local bus company to bring us from limerick to cork, he paid for it. and he paid another man to come from sligo to cork at 6pm and back again. he done all he could to get us there and back. fare play to him.

no badddder

[DonalE]

The Express that wasn't

[Well Red]

Great that we get to nearly 24 hours after a Rovers game and not an official mentioned, is it only at the Showgrounds that we have cause to complain about referees and linesmen or woman as the case may be:confused:

Do you not remember the penalties in Bray and Drogheda?

[CF1989]

the game was terrible. i found myself staring at onespot for ages on a number of occasions with sheer boredom. it was weird. im sure the ref was a disgrace though

The lineswoman in Dalyer in the EA Cup deserves a mention.
