1.0 there is no such thing as the winner of the inter-toto cup,. the whole farse is at best a pre-qualifying tournament. There is no Inter-toto cup.
2.0 Not all european countries enter clubs and some clubs that do qualify don't even enter. In fact up to 2 years ago a player didn't even have to be registered to play in it. Players from other clubs could be invited to play for clubs.
3.0 winning every game played six-nil does absolutely nothing for Irelands european ranking. Bohs 0-0 away from home in the UEFA cup was of more benefit to the Eircom League than Cork's run in the inter-toto.
Besides, the competition is being done away with basically because everybody, except Pat Dolan, sees it for what it is, a waste of time.
You know, its okay to allow Pat Dolan and Cork fans live in their own wee world let them persist with their fantasy of European greatness, but to do so would be to take away from other clubs that did do the Country proud (Cork City included) in the past.
