One of our clubs has played 2 games in Europe already this season - progressing through a round - and not a thread about either of the games on here...! :eek:
What happened to Cork tonight to lose at home ? I thought Valur had been poor in the away leg ?

Played yesterday. Hence why we could've done with an Inter-Toto thread....
At least we've got one now......! :D

Think there was a thread about the first leg. People realised from that how poor Valur are and just presumed the Corkies were a sure bet, close enough in the end though:eek:. Good to see them progress anyway though.

We were appalling, they were even worse but managed to sneak a goal.

If they were so bad, how come the wonderful Roy Donovan didn't score?

roy was having a stroll in the park. sat down at one point. got himself booked for messing with the ball after the whistle was blown. it was a harsh booking but the ref had been harsh all game so he should've been a bit smarter.

Cork have another InterToto game next week against Sweden's Halmstad BK. The FIFA two are available for them now. Incidentally that whole episode was a disgrace and illustrates that there are two different rules in football for the haves and the have nots. Cork City's treatment at the CAS was nothing short of appalling. Fran Gavin claims FIFA are going to change their rules on the three club issue following this episode, I hope they compensate Cork City by refunding them the lads salaries since the 1st of January.
Cork City have a League Cup Quarter-final on Tuesday away to Bohs. Rico was interviewed on Newstalk yesterday.... there have been no offers for Roy O'Donovan since January. The boy would be better off keeping his gob shut at this stage. Two back matches already for City in games against Bray and UCD to be played and or re-fixed.

Can't see Farrelly playing against Halmstad given the Ned Kelly he has on him (See caption competition thread in Off Topic).
Any chance of this game being Televised, I'd be very interested in seeing how Cork fare against one of our old European opponants.

Cork are playing Hammarby, not Halmstad.

Good to see both LOI and IL team go through.
Don't know much about Corks or Cliftonvilles opponent.
I just hope that the rest of both leagues can follow by example and reach the next phase.(which is most likely for LOI teams than IL to be fair)

I'm sure you did. The Irish sporting press isn't renowned for its accuracy.
Hammarby and Halmstad are of a similar standard though. Both are mid table teams.

What are tou on about Kdjac???:confused::confused::confused:
There was a thread in the City section but it did not move to the eL section as did not seem to be wider interest than City fans in the games.
I must admit even though I traveled down for the game its hard to get excited about the Inter Two Bob Cup. It was different a few years ago but its a bit of a drop down when have been in Uefa & CL Cup in recent seasons. There weren't even any away fans to sing/chant at.
The 2nd leg was very similar to Ekranas last year with team unsure whether to go & kill off the game with a goal or sit back & defend the 2 goal lead. Vadur were ok but even a poor City performances gave up several goal scoring chances.
Hopefully Hammerby will come out with some arrogant comments this week to get the crowd going for next Saturday. ;)

I dont think the FIFA two can play in the intertoto cup as they werent registered for it since they couldnt play in the League at the time of registration AFAIK. They should be making their debut this tuesday against bohs but are still inelligable for intertoto.
I agree with you aboyt Roy O Donavan though. His ego is bigger than the new shed in turners cross. George O C was never as bad.

I dunno about Roy v George.
That number 10 shirt should be retired or else reserved for either Dominic Foley, Colin P. O'Brien or Mariah Carey.

Thought it would have been a good idea to give the 2 their debuts in this competition. By pushing the game to the sunday night coupled with their debuts it would have meant a bigger crowd.
It may be the Inter Toto Cup but its still Europe. Who do you play if you progress next round?

Cork are playing Hammarby and if they win that then Utrecht. If they beat Utrecht they qualify for the UEFA Cup 2nd qualifying round along with the 10 other 3rd round winners.
It's a bit of a joke really and means the likes of Blackburn, Lens, Hamburg and Atletico Madrid would only have to win 2 ties to get into the UEFA Cup proper.
If Cliftonville get past Gent then they'd play Honka of Finland or Aalborg of Denmark for a place in the UEFA 2nd qualifying round.
His ego is bigger than the new shed in turners cross. George O C was never as bad.Roy has a way to go but he's getting there fast.
We have Hammarby at home next Saturday night KO 7.30pm

They finished 9th in the league last year. I'd imagine they would beat Cork, but Cork would give them a good game imo.

Great news on Healy and Farrelly, thanks for that richstard.
Speaking of Dominic Foley, will he be playing against Clintonville for AA Gent in the next round?
Also do you think RTE might actually show this game?
Personally I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Intertoto cup.
St Pats UEFA opposition this year, OB Odense beat Shels last year and went onto the group stages of the UEFA cup and apparently Shels could have won the round.
Does anyone know if Sweden play a summer league?

We obviously don't run buses to games across town:rolleyes:
I'd be surprised if you've brought more fans than us to any away game this season. You had very few against us in Tolka and I'm sure quite a few who were there live in Dublin.
I've regularly gone to watch other clubs play in european games over the years so a chance to go to a game and have a few beers with lads who looked after us is hardly sinister. I'm sure any reasonable City fan would welcome the extre revenue.

The busses dont run to often when rovers fans finish work. Most only hang up their crowbar and gloves at 4am :D :D :D

In fairness Rovers would usually have the biggest away support at the cross especially when you consider league position.

These days its gotten so bad that Rovers are the only team that bring any decent support to Cork
Few years ago we beat Nijmagen in the intertoto, Utrecht would be quite similar but we need to play 100% to get pasted Hammerby first

I think all the three Inter Toto rounds are succesive weekends so we would be playing Utrecht on the weekends of 22nd & 29th July

Last qualifying round of the UEFa Cup I think

That is correct. Not sure if we would be home or away first though...
I think we'd be at home first and the away leg would be the 29th.
I don't see any problem with a few Rovers lads coming down on Saturday.
I'm sure they'll all be on their best behaviour
Do these Hammarby contingent consist of any female members?
