View Full Version : Presidents Cup Final Cork City v Dundalk 27/2/2016
Dreadful display by Dundalk, but to be fair that was a very good performance by Cork, better all over the park and totally deserved the 2-0 win.
I'd have taken 3 points next Sat night over Bray instead of winning today, but still disappointing to lose, and more so in that manner, definitely one of the worst displays since losing 4-1 away to Drogs on the opening night of 2014.
Nice to see the live stream still, even though I only found out about it after the first goal.
So that's 3 home wins now for the newly revamped Presidents Cup Final, Pats, Dundalk, now Cork.
PS, is this Cauldfield's first trophy with Cork as a manager?

Does that red card carry over into the league by the way?
Apparently it does.

Added to the one's mentioned above, O'Donnell and Bolger should have got 2nd yellow cards for separate incidents towards the end of the game too.

Congrats to Cork - by all accounts totally deserve the win.
It was bound to happen eventually that Cork succeed - I think the first time they have managed that against Dundalk in the Kenny era.
While Cork are likely to get a morale boost from the result, in the long run it may be of more benefit to Dundalk in giving them a shake-up against complacency. Every time Dundalk have had a set-back in the last few seasons they have responded really well.
This Dundalk team are not used to losing - I expect to see a response to this defeat in the performance next week

I heard the opposite, that he'd be suspended for the next friendly, that sound mad though

I don't know for sure because the FAI don't publish rules about anything, but far as I know it's for the next friendly but if there's no friendly it's carried into the first league game.
Bear in mind this is the association that banned half the league from opening day last year.

This is the same association that carries over yellow card suspensions from the previous season.

Surely they will arrange a friendly so and play the under 12s 😂

Very odd that the live stream was kept a secret. I only picked up on it cos I happened to be on Twitter in the first few minutes of the game. Very high quality stream too. Cork looked the better team, Dundalk looked a lot less intense than usual. Ok, it's a glorified friendly, but would expect better from Dundalk. Hopefully that's a kick up the arse for them. As has been said it was fairly feisty, Boyle could have gone for the late challenge that caused the handbags before half time, so I reckon looking at this thread it could've finished 7 a side.

Almost feels like the FAI were testing for BWIN perhaps.

Ref was shocking. All decisions were a lottery. How McNulty, Bolger and O'Donnell with the hand ball didn't get sent off I don't know how.
Didn't really have any major impact on the game though as Cork fully deserved their victory.

Fortunately it was the inept Kelly who was referee.
If it had been Buttimer the game would never have finished.
Some say it was only a friendly but there was nothing held back out there.
Rodgers was superb for Dundalk & was easily their best player.
He made some brilliant saves especially the double save in the 2nd half from Turners free kick & the follow up from Sheppard.

Trackchamp is completely different. Quality is passable, but nowhere as good as yesterday. The President's Cup was filmed with a proper camera with a cameraman operating it.

Just wondering Cork fans....this new lad O'Connell...any truth he's related to Paulie ?

Who is Paulie?
His brother is Andy O'Connell, and his father is Damien. Both played for City, I think Andy is at Galway now? Has possibly played for Cobh in the recent past.

It would be great if we could hold on to Eoghan after June, but based on what I've seen so far, Celtic will be wanting him back.

Two nice goals there.

Two nice goals there.
The second one is brilliant, perfect cross in by O'Connell and great finish by Maguire. Rogers was unlucky with the first one having made a great save. Was great to see us beating dundalk but the real thing starts Friday. Thought we played really well the other day so hopefully for something similar on Friday.
Also, dunleavy hugging the president ha brilliant.

Didn't this used to be the Super Cup? When did it become the Presidents Cup so?

this is the third year of the current presidents cup. it was last played early noughties.. its a completely diff competition as we played in the super cup in 01/02 season!
Super Cup was played 4 years. 1998-2001
Winners were
98 Rovers
99 Pats
00 UCD
01 Shels
Teams were the 4 European qualifiers. 1st year was 2 double headers played over one weekend
Next 2 years was standard one leg knock out
Last year was a round robin
I noticed live score app had the Presidents Cup game down as the 'super cup' last week, suppose that's fair enough as its not going to be specific just to an Irish audience. I think it's a decent warm up game for both sides each year, and having Michael D in attendance defintely adds to the occasion a little.
Someone asked on attendances last week, I think there was 1,500 or 1,800 in Oriel Park v St Pats in Feb 2015. Other recent comparisons for other cup finals crowd wise:
Leinster Sen Cup final in Oct 2015 (Dundalk v Rovers) 1,200
EA Sports Cup final in Sept 2014 (Dundalk v Rovers) 3,500.
All those games were held in Oriel Park.
I think Cork had a crowd of 1,850 last Saturday?

Must be right so. Remembered one double header so assumed they both were.
