Big game on friday. really really really really really need a good performance and a result. need to defend properly for once - for those who werent at the bohs cup game ur lucky, schoolboys would score against our defence.
Ant team news? how is clive?
Anyone interested we'l prob be going to the hibo before the match for a few drinks
saw cork twice this season hate to say it but i don't think we have a chance a point would be a great result, some of our players are not interested
The first 3 games of the season were good but since then the spark has gone out of the team. We are defending like we did last season and are short of quality up front. Franco not been fully fit has had it's effect.
Not looking forward to this game. Imho, a clean sheet would be an achievment.
well lads id say we wer worse last season and cork came to de carlsile twice an dey only got a point so its not all bad have to say tho i cant see us winin........
Will be tough, But ill be in the pub with ye
Bout time we got a peno!!
It's so great to get that peno when we had two blatant ones turned down. I really felt we didn't deserve to get beat tonight. Good performance in the second half from the lads. I think the peno being over-turned just spurned them on. Well done.
thought we dominated today shud hav taken our chances wer still missin dat bita extra quality up front.........ref was unbelievable but wer too gud to be goin off blamin de ref for not gettin results work rate from all players was very good bring on galway........
Its as good as a loss for City, losing Bray Waderers is never going to be good. Serious questions need to be asked now, what are we doing if they cant even break down Bray for god sake. We could blame the ref for sorting them out with a peno, but the short of it is, its a brutal result.
When you hit this low, then the only way is up, if thats any consolation :mad:
It was hilarious watching Rico, jumping up and down with rage, big purple head on him- he made straight for the ref after the game but the ref wasn't to blame for the fact that Cork were sh1te. Wanderers were on top for most of the game and fully deserved the point. I still think we have problems up front, Delaney was our main threat on goal last night. Great performance by the team though.
Break us down? jesus you only managed 2 shots on target all night ! Bray didnt allow Cork to settle on the ball, they had a 10/15 minute spell but other than that we were the better side. We made Cork look very average and more than deserved to take something out of the game.Quote:

Even little things like yellow cards went against us, Cawley gets booked for remenstrating with the lino when it went out off a Cork player, Devine gets nothing for going absolutelu ballastic twice at the ref. Cork defender should also have been sent off for handling Delaneys shot that lead to the peno. Bray will never get big calls against so called big clubs like Cork.
Referee called a penalty for handball but linesman set him straight because he was in a better position. A good referee would have blown the whistle for handball & waited a few seconds to get the nod from linesman whether the man was inside the box or not. Incidently this occured when City player was lying injured on the ground & your players refused to kick the ball out. The exact same thing happened a few minutes earlier & City kicked the ball out of play for Injured Bray player.
If a player walks up the to the linesman shouting in his face for 30-60 seconds he deserves to be booked.
I don't know where you saw 3 penalties for Bray as ye never got into our box.
"so called big club?" Relative to Bray we are a big club. Relative to Barcelona we are not.
(See - its easy to debate without insulting people)
:rolleyes:
The laws state it's up to the ref to blow if he thinks the injury is severe enough. I personally detest it when ANY player puts the ball out in these situations. Play to the whistle and the rules, that's what Bray did. I personally would have no problem if Cork played on. I KNOW what the rule is, unlike the majority of football fans & players.Quote:

I admit from your ****e position yez probably didn't see but I counted two blatant penos. The one that was overturned was clearly IN THE BOX. There was another handball when a Cork player clearly put his hand out to block the ball in the box. The peno that was given was given for a handball by Softic, not for a foul on Delaney like a lot of people thought, though in all honesty I didn't see it.Quote:

I personally feel it was an even game and a draw was a fair result. Neither team was better then the other, imo.
admittedly I wasn't at the game, but the commentators on the radio were fairly insistant that the linesman got it spot on and commended him for stopping the ref where often the linesmen in ireland wouldn't make that call. I'd imagine the commentator was in a good position.Quote:

The commentary position is on the other side of the ground. They would've been looking through a sea of players, and seen as there's only one telly camera that is right above them, any replay would be an almost identical view. I'm adamant it was a peno cos where the ref put the free kick was definitely a bit away from where the handball took place.Quote:

Well you've no one else to blame. The rule is if a player goes down, the ref can blow up if he thinks it's serious enough to warrant treatment. Until then you play on. It mightn't be fair play but the Bray players did nothing wrong. They didn't cheat in anyway.Quote:

If the other team are so worried about their player, they can win the ball back and put it out. Why should ANY team give up an advantageous position?Quote:
