Cork v Shels

Cork 1:0 up at half-time - decent goal from Horgan (nice set-up by Gamble).

A good first half overall - fairly frantic, with a lot of close play, but definitely entertaining. Never seen that Kearney guy for Cork before, but he looks very handy (though someone needs to have a word with his hair-dresser.... :D ). Him and Hoolihan worth the entrance money alone.

I'd expect that most of the barstoolers who've sat through the first half of that will tune in again for the second...

Shels need to up their game a lot, so should be cracking second half. Can't help but suspect the next 45mins may get dirty though...

What is Fenlon at taking off Jason Byrne? I thought he was having a good game...

Yeah Full time Cork City 1-0 Shelbourne. Well done Cork, good match tonight. I still hope Derry win the league though :p :)

I have to say, Cork are looking good. Very solid defensively.

A win tonight has taken a lot of pressure off them ahead of Friday as well.

Feck - it feels like the end of the season already, and we're not even in the Final series of games !!

Cork did what they had to, no more, no less. If pushed I'd say they had another gear or two in reserve.

But Shels were absolutely awful.....they wouldn't have scored if they played until tomorrow.

Some bizarre decisions, Byrne off so early and ignoring Skeletor for some unknown reason.

Bring on Friday night, hopefully we'll give the Champions elect a better game.

I hate to say it, but I agree :( May as well have been Harps for most of that game.

No need to insult poor harps like that :D .

Cork were very good tonight, gamble was unreal. Fair play Cork, well deserved. Shels have a fight on now for 3rd spot? (btw the intertoto has been scrapped hasnt it?, so 3rd ant a euro spot anymore??)

Btw another moaning **** at shels that seems to go unnoticed is crawley, moaning the whole time like a child :rolleyes:

Nope, it isn't, so yep, it is.

Didn't think it was a great game myself - fairly few chances, only one decent save that I can remember. Far too much hoofball overall - Crawley has to be the most predictable player in the league! I think the commentator noted that Cork were attacking down his side quite a lot! Honestly thought the game was sterotypical eL - plenty of trying, but very little end result in front of goal. Having said that, quality finish for the goal. Shels could well finish fourth this year - be very interesting to see what'd happen to them next year if that were the case...

If Bohs were to beat them at the weekend, and Longford were to win they could find themselves in 5th come 9.30 this Saturday night.

entertaining game, if not top-quality.
shels show themselves to be a bunch of petulant bad losers again, with a real stupid sending off, and general non-stop whinging at the ref.
decent crowd, a little over 6000,id say 6100 (1850 sell out in main stand, 1000 opposite main stand, 1250 shed, 2500 in st annes end)

Got a text to say he'd been sacked... Shels' fans hear anything?!?

No. Doubt it tbh, he's one of the best managers we've ever had. And we're still in contention for runners up, to sack him now would be stupid!
