no way should benno have been sent off and as for that dirty b@stard "fabio" he should get a nice ban for that

what about the tackle bout georgie for the 3rd goal..great never say die attitude(also it was his last game in the cross for the season)..

watch out shels...game on ;)

[morleyisgod]

good win tonight, but what was bennet up to , that is stupid what he did, could have really fcuked us up,and must i say i hope derry come second place next season, nearly as good fans as cork city :)

[morleyisgod]

cork city were very lucky tonight , pat dolan has as much tactical awareness as george bush has brains, sorry did not mean to insult george bush.And will the dutch gold clan who call george o call a legend please take note: john caulfield, pat morley. phil long , dave barry, alec ludic(sorry if i did not get the spelling right} those people were legends not what we have to watch week in, week i out :mad:

[A face]

last minute heart failures

Do you always get that worked up over a free out ??
We should have wrapped it up alot earlier ..... but was that a different team than the one Friday ..... Brilliant. Ten men and it was brilliant. Where would you get that action on a Monday night.

[A face]

cork city were very lucky tonight , pat dolan has as much tactical awareness as george bush has brains

Down to ten men four minutes in ......



How would YOU have changed it around ....... ???????



Please do tell !!

Cork keep the chase alive
Cork City 3 Drogheda United 2

08/11/2004: Cork City have kept alive hopes of usurping the eircom Premier League title from Shelbourne with a rollercoaster 3-2 win over Drogheda United at Turner’s Cross this evening. Two dismissals and five goals thrilled the Cork crowd as the game ebbed and flowed in and out their favour until Liam Kearney’s strike gave Cork a lifeline to hang on to.

Cork began the hard way and found themselves a man down and goal down after just three minutes.

Alan Bennett took the early bath after he took down Declan O’Brien 22 yards from goal and Andy Myler dispatched the resulting free kick.

The title chasers managed to get back on track seven minutes later however - thanks to Dan Murray’s back post header from a George O’Callaghan free - but were trailing again after 21 minutes when O’Brien ran onto a long ball and chipped Mick Devine in the Cork net to restore the lead.

Having handed the advantage back, O’Brien was then given his marching orders for an off the ball incident involving the impressive O’Callaghan.

The reinvigorated Leesiders were level again when Greg O’Halloran’s 34th minute pass found John O’Flynn, who sneaked it past Tony O’Dowd in the Drogheda goal, to send the teams in level at the break.

Cork took the lead for the first time four minutes into the second half thanks to Liam Kearney’s fourth goal of the season, again set up by the tireless O’Callaghan, whose cross evaded O’Flynn and the Drogheda defence before being calmly slotted home by the 21 year-old.

Drogheda frantically went in search of the equaliser and almost found it minutes from the end when Barry Molloy’s shot struck the crossbar, but their endeavours were eventually halted after four minutes of injury time.

Cork now lie three points behind Shelbourne with the same amount of games played and only two remaining.

**************************************************
Fantastic game, we should have won by more.
That pr*ck O'Brien is a cheat, and if Spillage goes on about him anymore....:rolleyes:

I thought Greg was motm, brilliant performance from him at centre half. I'm a bit worried about Doyler though, he looks shattered....

georgie or flynny for me

flynny up front on his own for most of the game looked jaded late on but still chased everything

thought dolan would take him off earlier but who am i to argue with the great ones decisions ;)

[connaithe]

George was man of the match. His work effort was unreal and was typified by his tackle for 3rd goal. It was the best game i have seen him play. His touch always gave him room.

Their effort off the bar would not have counted as it was a free out. The last one where yer man flicked it on from the corner could have gone anywhere so we were lucky there but we deserved that bit of luck!

Benno deserved the red card as did drogheda dude. Great game overall though. Well done City!

[ccfcman]

.....or flynny for me


:eek: :eek: Surely not, lads the rose tinted glasses are stunting your viewing capacity, O'Flynn was ok, I still think he's but a shadow of his former self, he ran many lost causes, Gamble man of the match. Colin O'Brien will not get back into that team [apart from Geogrie's suspension].

[Gary]

What a performance. I feel sorry for Benno, but having seen the incident on the telly, it was a fairly straight forward decision.

Dan Murray marshalled his defence very well. Greg did great. Onwe of his best ever City performances.

George was head and shoulders above everyone for MOTM. Even though he didnt score it, the 3rd goal was all about him. He had no right to win that ball. He proved that its not a lost cause until its out of play.

They were all heroes last night. Lets just hope ccfc can end Drogs interest in Europe on Friday, tie up second, and frighten the life out of Shels and steal their title on the last day of the season :) .

[kingcolers]

how big was the crowd?

[razor]

Superb gutsy display, thought we were goosed after 5 minutes but the lads battled immensely and deserved the victory.
While I'm still not a fan of George, he was brilliant last night, he ran and ran and his never say die attitude got us the third goal.
O'Flynn ran his socks off, closed down players, their 2 centre halves were terrified of him.

What about that lines-lady on the DF side?
And there was me thinking Foley was rubbish on Friday night, O'Brien looked offside for me for their 2nd goal and a mate in the DF confirmed as such, couldn't really tell from the TV last night. Fair Play to George for letting her know how bad she was, think they may have explained the offside rule using a few jaffa cakes at half time. Where do they get them from?

I think O'Brien will be a bigger loss to them on Friday than Benno will be for us, All i'd be worried about is that the lads looked tired before last night and then having to play 88mins with 10 men didn't help.
2 games to go, Come on City.

[ccfcman]

how big was the crowd?

5500 - 6000, St. Annes was 65% full, the usual spots were packed. Imagine the crowd for the Bohs match if its still possible, lift the League trophy at the X!

[ccfcman]

Fair Play to George for letting her know how bad she was, think they may have explained the offside rule using a few jaffa cakes at half time. Where do they get them from?

2 Things;

1) He was looking for her number

&

2) She changed her hair style at half time ;)
