I can't wait til Friday and I fully anticipate a City victory (thats the club that was called city first!) The Brandy atmosphere will be one to remember and we'll win 1-0!

It should be a cracker of a match alright.I think Cork will win as it appears that Derry may be in a bit of a bad run with late draws against Bray & Pats.Isn't it refreshing that the league title is being contested outside of Dublin for a change.LTFC for 3rd?

Ah, screw that little provincial side-show. :)
The real action is happening at Tolka Park where we are going to put the last nail into Shels season/whole club/Ollie Byrne's coffin.
You will be able to stir the bitterness and begrudgery with a wooden spoon.
After we win we will be able to buy our very own Shels squad member because they will all be lined up along Richmond Road looking for new jobs.
Hmmmm, I might buy a Nutsy for my garden, he'd look nice sitting beside the pond holding a little fishing rod.
I hope Cork hammer Derry (sorry guys, but it could come down to GD!). Might video the match, as won't see it due to being in Tolka.

I don't think a Big Cork victory is going to have any influence on your battle for 5th place :eek:
A victory for us tomorrow night will have no impact the outcome of 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in the league, we'll be a mere 9 points clear with 33 points still to play for. I do not want people getting carried away with themselves.

Still the fans of the Inferiority Complex Club obsess about Dublin when they are playing in... Derry :confused:

Should be a cracking match. I'll go for an entertaining 2-2 draw.

For the sake of a decent non-Dublin title race, I hope Derry win on Friday. Cork have won 9 out of 10 away games so far (they're the only team not to have beaten Waterford at least once) so it's set up for a cracker. I doubt anyone in RTE thought they'd ever be showing a Derry v Cork top of the table clash on the same night as Shels v Bohs. I'll video the game, but every time I've done that this year the games have been crap (e.g. Pats v Bohs, Rovers v Pats).

Your increasingly despairing attempts are rather sad.
Here's an idea for you, (and I'm giving it to you for free), that might help:
Put your post on your banner for Dom Foley, it will probably make you feel a lot better......

I think there's a common link there!
For the record I hope Derry win for a more exciting title race.

Come on Cork!
(Man I feel dirty even saying it).
2-1 Shels against Bohs, now that even the blind optimists (ie. Nutsy) have given up the title race, hopefully we can start playing some decent football.
If we keep the ball on the floor and play something resembling our best team, then we should be too good for Bohs, that’s a big if going on recent performances though.

I think Derry City will win it by the single goal on Friday. I think Cork will be happy enough with a draw but I hope Derry will be going all out for the win and make it a very entertaining match. :)

Cork City and Derry City are eircom league sides and this is an eircom league forum..this thread was meant to be for all eircom fans interested in the game and not just the two that are playing..if it was Shels and Derry i as a Cork City fan would be interested in it..please dont be so BORING..if you dont have something decent to say dont reply...this is the biggest game this year and could throw up the eventual winner of OUR league...why should others not be interested.. :rolleyes:

Great game....and a good noisey atmosphere.
Although I was very disappointed with some of the chants by the Derry crowd.
At a time when everyone is crying out for extra exposure of the Eircom League we get this type of crap.
If only NET2 had the technology to turn the sound effect mics down.....

Tonight was one of the best League of Ireland games I have ever seen. :ball:
Even "Creep" by Radiohead had Dodgy lyrics. That doesn't make any less of a song. :rolleyes:
Even my mother said that it was better than any "International" game shes seen. And my mother is not a soccer fan.
Bad 4 a Cork fan, but it shows what the Eircom League is all about at the top level!

did it involve Felix Healy by any chance???
What can you expect when you send a match analyst(if thats what you would call him) to a place where he is hated by most fans, do that anywhere and you'll get chants like that
Well done to Derry, they deserved the 3points, went at cork from the start and took their chances.
McCourt was great in the 1st half but disappeared in the 2nd really.
Hard luck to cork, unlucky on a number of occasions. Tuite was a bit inconsistant esp inrelation to the penalty given and the penalty denied...but overall handled discipline etc well,
Well done to both sets of fans, sounded like an amazing atmosphere. You're a credit to the league

I thought Felix Healy did a good job and on numerous occasions he mentioned "the passion of the Brandywell", "Special Nights".
yeah, felt a bit for Felix Healy, thought he did a good job on the tv... I'd listen to him before Collins, Matthews, Dolan and Doolin.
You should give him more credit. I don't know what he did that was so bad but you kinda let yourself down with the abuse.

Great game and great result......... Does anyone else believe Pat Dolan wants to have George O'Calaghan's babies. If he's that good why didn't he start? Pat McCourt faded in the second half but he played for the Northern Ireland U21's midweek in a friendly! Not ideal preparation for Derry's biggest game of the season....

Felix advised Derry people not to go to Derry friendly against Real Madrid, as it would be no better than watching Prestron or the like. Given that we were in severe financial difficulties at the time, this was inexcusable.
There are so many more things that he has done to harm Derry, which I ill not mention, that he will never be forgiven.
It was summed up perfectly with a banner which read "We hate you because we loved you so much"
He can talk his empty words to the watching public, but in the Brandywell he is and forever will be a pariah.

I saw a Derry City flag at the game and something like "QUBSC always on tour" with a Derry crest and some other crest. Whats QUBSC?

fair enough but the public in general will never know that and the public will generally feel apathy towards a man abused live on national T.V.
As good and clear as the derry vocals are, it was painfully clear that he is a hated man but who in god's name knows why outside Derry and now foot.

That's football. Who cares. I'd say anyone watching last night was bowled-over by the Derry support - not nit-picking over one chant that was sang clearly only about twice in 100mins....
