Longford v City - Sat 3rd July

City should have all of the recent signings available. How do you think it will go?

[Acornvilla]

draw i'd say, would be happy enough as long as we don't loose

[Martinho II]

I think this has the makings of a no score draw.. Question is can ye beat Aaron Shanahan in goals?

[De Town]

We'll win this, I'm confident.

[Acornvilla]

We'll win this, I'm confident.
no say we will loose please!!

[outspoken]

I can see the same but who knows we might snatch a late winner or something but one things for sure..... we wont lose and that will be 5 games undefeated

[De Town]

[outspoken]

ye thats my opinion we wont lose whats wrong with that?

[Acornvilla]

its more the wording of how you said it than anything, saying we wont loose for sure is wrong, how can anybody know that, just say you don't see us loosing in future :)

[outspoken]

Foras Co-op to win 4-0

[Tallanted]

We have a good home record against 'the team formerly known as cork city fc' so who knows on the day, we have stopped conceding loads of goals recently so hopefully another positive result this weekend

Foras Co-op to win 4-0
Na, if they play 4-5-1 Football Club should get something out of it.

I cant go myself, family visiting on Friday afternoon so busy all weekend. There should be a good few City fans there alright, there was a bus being organised, don't know how that is going though.

is there any city fans stayin over this saturday A Face do you know?

[Martinho II]

according to the loi website John lester is due to serve a one match suspension for reaching the threshold of yellow cards. I assume that he wont play for saturday night which will be a blow.

Was talking to a Cork fan a few days back hes coming down and says Foras should have around 30 on there bus while the bus hes organising has around 16 on it so far so there should be a decent showing from the away fans.

[Longfordian]

Great second half performance from the lads they pushed hard and deserved the draw in the end. We were completely outplayed first half and were lucky not to be more than one down. Hynes made a difference when he came on and special mention too to Victor and Michael Lee who were both excellent in the second half too. Overall we're improving nicely and there's plenty to be optimistic about for the rest of the season.

[outspoken]

one things for sure..... we wont lose

:cool:

but in all seriousness we were compltely out played 1st half and should have been 3 or 4 down but second half and the passing game of Cork seemed to leave them and we just kept plugging away and got the reward for it.

Performers of the night : Lee , Victor , Jason oladalea qho made a fantastic impact as did hynes. JP Mcdonagh was a welcome return and tried hard as did Mark Salmon as always...

5 in a row undeafeated now and one things for sure we defo won't lose against mervue :)

[Town Legend]

Good man Kieran. A Mervue team who we struggled to beat earlier, ran Derry close Fri night and are tough to beat at home.

Mervue 3-1 Longford

[Longfordian]

I think we're well capable of getting a win down there but as you say it'll be fairly tough. I think we're an improving team though and the defence is looking more secure thankfully.

[Acornvilla]

i demand 5 wins in a row next or cousins should be sacked :D

Mervue 3-1 Longford

Yes they will be a tough nut to crack and they are likely to get physical to try and stop us playing but im sure Lester will be back next week and he will make the world of differnce so perhaps 2 maybe 3-1 Longford

[Town Legend]

I'm only predicting a 3-1 loss cos every time i predicted a win we lost and when i predict a loss we get a good draw or win!!

[outspoken]

yes but the first part of your statement is true

[Martinho II]

I am not sure what to make of don cowans debut for us.. his only asset is pace imo.. Great to see Jason Oladele back with us again and delighted that JP McDonagh sorted out his work situation .

Hynes did make a difference when he came on and beat McNulty to the ball and slotted it past him..Cork had it in the bag and didnt win!

I though Cowan worked quite hard for us and hopefully he has more in his locker than just pace which I think he has. He was perhaps lucky not to have been sent off for two yellow card offences but the challenge he received a card for showed he has great determination and really wants to do well for us and I can see him scoring many goals.

As for Jayo I wasnt sure what to make of his re-signing as he wasnt great with us the last time and I know my mate that use to go to games couldnt stand him but Rovers A has done great things for him as his pace lasts longer now instead of short burst like he use to have. His control and skill was brilliant last night and he made a huge impact and looks like a huge asset for us.

JP Mcdonagh worked hard and its great to see him back in the red and black.

Hynes defo. made a big diffrence also and will give Cousins a dilemma on who to start up top next week?

Roche had a quiet game before been taken off so hes probably out of the running to start up top ......... who would ye pick?

[Acornvilla]

play hynes and cowan and see how they go together, then 2nd half give the other two a go

[poster]

Off topic, but where did Brian McCarthy end up after going back to Bohs last year, is he still at Bohs? Thought I read somewhere too that he went to Spain for a trial with someone..

He went for a trial with Athletico Madrid after they liked what they saw in the friendly against him but they released he was 28 or what ever age he is not 18 as they thought so they let him go back and hes now playing for Athlone (scumbag)

[Longfordian]

McCarthy is about 22, not 28 . But apparently they did feel he would be too old to make the step up.

Thats why I said or what ever age he is... I wasnt sure but yea thats why they didnt want him

[Longfordian]

There's quite a difference in fairness. Maybe not to a whippersnapper like you I suppose...

[Martinho II]

don cowan and jason oladele were confirmed to me last night at the clubs tea party in Arvagh as permanent!

[Longfordian]

Interesting. I wonder if they're available for the cup game?.

[Martinho II]

Interesting. I wonder if they're available for the cup game?.

fingers crossed.

[Acornvilla]

if they are loan signings then they are not

[De Town]

hes no playing for Athlone (scumbag)
Sweet Jesus.

Interesting. I wonder if they're available for the cup game?.
I'd imagine they should be allowed to play now alright if they're permanent moves.

[Longfordian]

I know that Acorn but it appears they're permanent or rather not on loan, given the player turnover in this league nothing is permanent!. I'm just wondering if something was written into their release preventing them from playing. It probably wasn't as I'm sure they fancy their chances in any event.

[Acornvilla]

well if they can play i'm delighted :P
rovers might rest players against us giving the fixture congestion they may have

[outspoken]

I doubt it I think they really want to win something this year so.....

[Acornvilla]

europe looms large

[outspoken]

I can confirm that don cowan is only here on loan not sure on jayo yet but I still think he's permanent

[Martinho II]

I can confirm that don cowan is only here on loan not sure on jayo yet but I still think he's permanent

it seemed too good to be true if he signed permanent anyway as why would rovers let him go anyway if they rate him highly?

[Rocky77]

Won't make any odds Marty. He's here til the end of the season now, if he was permanent he'd still only have signed til the end of the season anyway.

[Acornvilla]

only thing anyone was nterested in is weather he can play v rovers or not
