you wont even get a point out of this one it goes to peno's!!! How long since youv'e beaten us now????

Can I take this oportunity to remind 'shelsno1fan' that the only time the two clubs have met at this level, coincidently at the same stage last season, there was only one winner; City. Oh yeah, and the score? 4:0.

[Éanna]

and perhaps he should be further reminded that seeing as its a cup game, it would be a little difficult for us to get "a point out of this one" :rolleyes:

A lot of similarity between then and now.......
Aagghh, it's happening all over again.......:eek:

i'm planning to trip along to this anyway, we'll be without games soon enough, have to get in as many fixes of live footie as possible while we still can.

Eanna, he's a shels fan - if shels need to get points from cup matches i'm sure it can be arranged. :rolleyes:

[CollegeTillIDie]

Colm

Is this true? Are the girls not going to show up at the game? :eek:

[niamh]

Yeah, they can just take someone to court and take what is rightfully theirs !! How dare anyone question it. :eek:

They can fight all they like but if I had the choice there's only one of them who stands a chance! :D


I'd like to be going up to the game tonight but after last night (and another 20+ league and Euro away games) there's no way I could make it all the way to Dublin for an U21 game.
Hopefully there'll be some bit of support there though, maybe some of those who stayed over in Drogheda will make it on their way back down.

COlm

In the absence of the delectable city fans, and in the presence of this chilly wind in Dublin will give the semi-final a miss.
Hope ye win so I can see ye all in Belfield for the final :D

[Citygirl]

i meant the harps - ucd game :rolleyes: :p

[kevincronin2000]

who scored anyone know?

[thecorner]

nolan and behan

[CollegeTillIDie]

It may interest City fans to know that the second semi-final is on at Finn Park today at 3 p.m.

[SSS]

City deserved the win but it was a tough enough game for them.
Baker caused Lally alot of problems in the first half and the Shels goal was also a well-worked move down that side.
Thank God for Behan's peno coz I didn't fancy sitting through extra time with a drive to Cork to follow..

SteveO played well on the left - works hard - but where wil he play, Kearney is well established and he won't get a game ahead of Doyle and Flynny..

[CollegeTillIDie]

Result from Under 21 semi-final today

Finn Harps 0 UCD 3

So City are playing UCD in Belfield for the final folks... Hope ye all turn up for this big final , unlike the Cup game :rolleyes:

[niamh]

If the game is on Saturday as has been suggested I would think they could only be a few heads around as most City fans will have travelled to Cork...

The first team are playing @ 7:45 on Saturday , at home. So unless the game takes place as either a curtain raiser or midway through the afternoon it is unlikely to be on Saturday.... Sunday might well be an option. I will make enquiries for all you City fans with the powers that be and post my findings for ye.

good win for the u21's
thought the ref had alot of work to do and bottled a few decisions.
Shels as usual were thugs on the pitch, and prob shud have had 1 if not 2 players sent off. many many shels players booked, and then not booked again by the ref all through the 2nd half when the ref knew they had previously been booked!!!! eg City player kicks the ball away at shels free kick and gets booked, shels player (who had been prev booked) does it in the 2nd half and nothing happens!!!!

Steve O Flynn looked v v good, well up for it, fit ,excellent control and movement, and not only provided an good attacking outlet but also had to do alot of defensive cover for Ray Lally who eas having a tough night with the shels winger who skinned him on a few too many occassions.

City well deserving of victory.

Oh and Colm I checked with Ollie but there was a cig to be had anywhere in Tolka that night..

[pete]

Good win for city, easier than scoreline looks. Shane Long impressive in attack & city strong in defense.

Thought shels very poor with only winner Robbie Shields making any impression.
