Jason Abbot hasn't signed for rams unfortunately. He is with Cork City u19s and could be trainin with the first team also if I'm not mistaken. Great young player.

Longtail your not Andrew ex limerick by any chance, , two posts metioned the same player.. and only a member with two posts..
What about dub who scored and played very well and also ian long under 19s played an excellent game

[The_Postman]

Could ye post the squad and any kind of report from blarney game lads cheers. Two great friendlies lined up for next week with city and limerick. Cant wait! C'mon the Rams.

So is it friday at home to city and following tuesday for limerick

[Comic Book Guy]

Limerick at home tonight at 7.45 and City at home this coming Friday(15th) at 7.45

Great team performance Cobh 3 v 2 limerick .. dav 2 and fitzpatrick 1 .. nice crowd..

[peterpan]

Cobh were very impressive last night, limerick missing a few, davin will score for fun in the 1st div this season.

[Comic Book Guy]

I'd caution against getting carried away, yes it was a good performance with some very good displays Gary Collins, Brian Fitzgerald and Ian Long at RB did well, Davin will score a lot of goals but this is a young team who will be excellent one week and not so good the next.
Friday night will be a different matter against a City team who by all accounts were very impressive against Cliftonville.
Regardless of what has gone on in the past in the club this team deserve the support of the town, they are playing for the jersey so get the message out there.

[peterpan]

I agree I think the starting 11 will do well but injurys to any of them and there is a lack if strenght and depth in the squad. Not a bad crowd last night a couple of wins and the crowd will pick up even more.

[chimpster]

Seeing as theres no website yet, could someone please post the full team up for the benefit of us 'exiles'?

[peterpan]

Burnskill, long, Fitzgerald, Collins, Meade, o Flynn, bandacker, o Shea, Deady, Meade and o Neil, Spillane came off the bench with frahill and bobbi donough.

[Longtall]

Cobh have a blend of good players good win v limerick

[chimpster]

Nice one. Paddy Power has us at 25/1 for the league, anyone brave enough to throw few euros on an each way??:ball:

[marty]

Realistically we could be at 50-1 but with the league so small and unpredictable there not taking chances wit anyone,the crowd should be around 400+ for Friday wit a few down from Forus....Im pleased we have so many locals playing as that is what we should be aiming for long term to keep interest-the town will always be our catchment area,Id hope for a win Friday but would gladly settle for a draw against what is a good City team

[peterpan]

1all draw tonight in front of a decent crowd, 600 plus I reckon.

[patrickccfc]

What kind of attendance would ye think is achievable for ye this year?

[peterpan]

To be honest it depends on how they start, if they start well theres no reason why it won't be between 250 and 350 every week

[nigel-harps1954]

To be honest it depends on how they start, if they start well theres no reason why it won't be between 250 and 350 every week

If they start well, and continue to do well, with a lack of football there in recent years, there's no reason as to why they shouldn't be getting over 400 a game.

If they stutter, then I'd imagine Cobh to be reaching 200 a week.

What kind of attendances were they getting in the A League and U-19s?

[Tuckers Bike]

Very impressed tonight. For a team that are only just coming together I thought they were superb.

Would have been full value for the win. Mikey O'Shea ran the show, Deady destroyed Dan Murray, Two centre backs were very good, Dub was very good too, would be fair to say that the whole team were impressive.

Great goal by Mikey. Don't understand how Graeme Kelly came around to the fact that it was a penalty when you consider the linesman never even flagged for a foul....But sure it wouldn't be football in Cork without the Kelly family making a mess of games.

Things look good!

[peterpan]

I must say that I had a very good view of it and it a stonewall pen, a good foot inside the box.

Have no doubt it was inside the box I just didn't think it was a foul. From where I saw it the ball was won.

[peterpan]

Na he defo pulled him to the ground by the arm, a pen every day of the week

[Comic Book Guy]

Couldn't see the penalty as I was down the other end the fog was so bad. Team were impressive and without dav and get the word out around town that this team DESERVE their support. Couldn't fault the team at all. But again its only pre- season. I would have put the crowd at about 750.

[patrickccfc]

The echo estimated it at 1600.. wasnt at the game but by the sounds of what ye are saying, that reporter would want to learn how to count

[peterpan]

There's not a hope there was that many there, probably trying to make it more appealing to the people they are on the fence about attending Loi games.

[Tuckers Bike]

Is the EA Sports Cup game vs Waterford this week? I assume this is a mid week game? I work not too far from Waterford City so might make the spin to the game.

[Comic Book Guy]

The EA Sports Cup game is on Monday 11th of March in Waterford at 7.45.

[Longtall]

What did u make of the game v cork I think cobh r starting to gel good team with a good manager

[peterpan]

Have to say I was impressed, young long at right back played well in the two games, Brian Fitz was quality and davin and Conor will sniff out plenty of goals during the season, I still don't think they will be as strong as harps, Waterford, Longford and athlone but will pick up plenty of points especially at home.

My man of the match display..micky o shea ..he dominated mid field on his own .great goal. .it was a one man show in there.. long did very well .Fitzgerald is one tough cookie .. meady and deady worked well together left mid . Up front dubs had his dancing boots on .. spillane was strong and won the alot of the high balls and good work for the lead up to the goal.. .. a good blent to the team ..oh yeah mad keeper ..what more do we want

[peterpan]

Cobh are playing a friendly against kanturk in march, what's the idea behind that?

[rambler14]

Doubt this will go ahead as Kanturk haven't received approval from the AUL to play the game.

[Igot2words4ya]

This game is off!cant understand why the AUL stopped it.does anyone know why?

[El-Pietro]

Jason Abbot hasn't signed for rams unfortunately. He is with Cork City u19s and could be trainin with the first team also if I'm not mistaken. Great young player.
started in the Munster Senior Cup tie last Saturday up in Douglas Hall. very good little player.

[the sub]

This is a cobh rambler thread not a cork city one.. cobh have plenty of very very good players and they too are playing with the seinor team .. the difference is that they will get an opportunity to play for cobh .. most if not all the city under 19s wont get a look in .. look at what dunne do he brings in players and maybe one or two youth under 19s will break in.. kavanagh and forde should get in ..lets stck to the cobh players we have a good squad ..

[Tuckers Bike]

The lack of friendlies is a tad worrying to say the least....

[peterpan]

I wouldn't be to bothered, most of the team were in mid season in the Msl or the u19 league so match fitness shouldn't ba a problem.
