Cork City vs Portadown
(Turner's Cross - 7:45 pm - Setanta Cup - Group 2 - Live on Setanta Sports)
Referee: John Feighery

The task ahead for Cork City is fairly clear, a win by two goals must be achieved. However, a one goal victory in a sufficiently high-scoring enough game (at least 4-3) would also see them through to Saturday's final. Anything else and Shelbourne would win the group.

Never been so interested in a Cork game!! I can't watch the first 50 or so minutes cos I am playing soccer myself but I will be there at the end. Its good that one of us will reach the finals, but personally I'd rather Shels :)

Good luck!!

Just a reminder to City fans .... might be an idea to send a text to all the radio stations to raise the awareness of the game !! Red FM, 96 FM etc.

Cork 0-1 Ports

8 Minutes left. Portadown had 10 men since 35th minute, CCFC failed to capitalise so far.

Ufl.

Portadown have been playing filthy though. The red card was a yellow (but a definate yellow). But one of them was going to get sent off at some point, Georgie must be finding it hard to stand up at this stage!

Did I hear Cork fans singing "What a load of rubbish!" at the end?

Yeah. I must say, loved the fact that Rico blamed the referee? He gave Cork a 60 minute extra man advantage!? :rolleyes: Unlucky lads, but on the basis of that performance, ye didn't deserve it, and I know alot of fans were saying that if you couldn't comfortably beat Ports ye wouldnt.
