Tony Mc will still be out for this if you believe what the LOI website said. Cork aren't as strong as previous years and have had bad start to the season so a win is very much possible. I reckon we could nick this one.

What's the chances Cork could get Healy and Farrelly in for this one? Although I'm not sure if they'd be more of a help or a hinderance.
Daz Ryan is said by some to be their best player this season, make of that what you will.

They will more than likely be available for selection.

what will the excuse be?
Evens. Some type of Dublin based conspiracy.
3/1. Pitch markings were of a non standard width.
3/1. Goal posts were the wrong colour.
5/1. Dublin air of inferiour quality to Cork air.
5/1. UCDD using incorrect style of play, Cork being more suited to 3-5-2 formations used by european clubs in the inter-toto cup.
10/1. The discovery that Darragh Ryan is not the messiah.
100/1* Some failing on Cork's part.
*Novelty bet

Are you prepared to offer odds on the slippery nature pitch brought about, completely impossibly, by the long grass?
God I hate when we play UCD.
Usually means crap game, a draw and serious injuries to our players...must be the crap pitch :P

Who?
Haven't heard anyone say that.
UCD 1-0.
Awful feeling today that the whole Farrelly/Healy thing is going to come tumbling down and Citys slow start looks like it could go on for quite a bit.
Haven't had much glory in Belfield.

I see so beating us 5-1 on our own patch a couple of years ago doesn't count does it? :confused:

no, its to be expected against the weaker teams. if we don't get that kind of result its a failure.

Provided you have a spare couple of hours to wait for them.
46A's probably the best. Get off at the Radison, cross the road, head up Foster's Avenue (the t-junction there) and the ground's in on your right.

4-0 to City.
I'm expecting a Healy, Farrelly, Gamble triangle in midfield.

I'd be very surprised if anyone even on that site said that, although Ryan is beginning to settle in now.
Where's that thesis?

Well, there's at least a very positive thread (http://www.ccfcforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16832&st=0) about him on the Cork forum (well, it starts off very anti-him, and then hilariously swings very much pro-him on the basis of one game. Fickle fickle! :)).
Here's (http://www.ccfcforum.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=16832&view=findpost&p=314872) one person anyway saying he's been Cork's best player this season.

Ah, the traditional Corkonian paranoia which has their forums private.
IMO ryan has been city's best player so far this season.[b]
and he doesn't get caught out of position, unlike his predecessor
The thread PS mentioned is 3 pages long, but it's much as he said... From
So basically we have a fat, rubbish new left back, and all this from 2 games, none of which have been at Turners Cross. As the other thread is called, thats a fair bit of over reacting and over analysis even for this forum. As soccerlady said, Devine and Gamble did no better. I hope its not gonna be a case of all the bitter Danny Murphy fans giving Darragh stick.
to
I think Ryan is going to be a pretty good signing for us from what I've seen. He is comfortable on the ball and isn't afraid to bring it forward. So much so that the other three lads are more than happy to switch the play to the left more often than not as something generally happens when he is allowed to bring the ball up the field.
As an attacking full back option I think his ability in this regard is going to benefit the club more so than his defending, which seems to be solid enough.

Ah, the traditional Corkonian paranoia which has their forums private.its just an effort to get the number of registered users up. unfortunately the admin hasnt changed the warning system accordingly and being banned from posting also means not being able to read the forum.
Ryan had a poor first 2 games. He looked very unfit, and had zero touch.
The last 2 games he seems fitter, hungrier, more aggressive and well able to pass. I dunno maybe its because he's a full time pro now that he's come on.
The Jury is still out though.

I think he looks decent. I reckon he'll improve under Davey Hill aswell in time.

There's one member of Darren's fanclub anyway: http://www.ccfcforum.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=16832&view=findpost&p=314872
I e-mailed it to you ages ago. I sent you another e-mail to confirm I've got the right e-mail address. If not, PM it to me again.
All of the new signings (including Kearney) have performed well in comparison to a lot of the existing first teamers. Though that's not saying a hell of a lot. We have been lucky with the fixtures as the team has had no preseason and it shows; had we been up against some of the bigger boys our goal difference could be looking miserable.
Hopefully the win against Ports will kickstart the season and Healy and Farrelly will become available soon. Colin and Gamble need to know they have to fight to get on the team as our midfield has been shocking.
If the boys don't get clearance and ye can stifle Kearney then our main creative threat is from Ryan or Kelly (Central Defender) :eek:
Roy and JO'F will always cause problems tho'.
Honestly don't know how this one will go, :confused: too many variables !

Is it right that if you show an Ireland-Wales ticket when buying for UCD-City it's only €10? That's a good idea if so, though it should work the other way to i.e. regulars at EL games should get discounts on Ireland tickets. Does the 18 bus go anywhere near the ground?

Yeah, it's a one off idea from the club. Might work nicely - any langers heading along to Croker on Saturday might consider coming up a day early a little harder.
Does the 18 bus go anywhere near the ground?
Allegedly. I've never seen one, and while its timetable says it makes an appearance at Belfield, I can't seem to find where it stops. It seems to stop at Vincents too, so I'll hazard a guess that it would let you off at the N11 flyover, about a 5-7 minute walk to Belfield Park. (map (http://stigonline.com/images/directions.jpg))
Can anyone clarify?
Is Radisson best place for a pre-match pint these days?
pineapple stu
22/03/2007, 7:13 PM
Was never in there, although never thought about it as a replacement for the Montrose, to be honest. Good spot, possibly!
The Montrose or Lonnegan's (a pub connected to the Montrose) are the usual places.

Cork seem to have several doubtful players for the game: Liam Kearney (http://www.eleven-a-side.com/premier/irish_soccer_detail.asp?newsid=27010), Darren Murphy & Brian O’Callaghan (http://breakingnews.iol.ie/sport/story.asp?j=214078968&p=zy4x79674&t=soccer). Don't know if they're really injured though.
Risteard
23/03/2007, 4:59 PM
Darren Murphy is definately out.
Out of those 3, Kearney would be the only starter and I think he's likely to shake it off.
