SETANTA SPORTS CUP FINAL *
Cork City 0-0 Drogheda Utd 7.45

* Live on RTÉ Radio 1 MW & LW

Harps 1-1 Cobh is a result now too.

Mark Leech has just scored for Drogheda in the 11th minute of the First Period of extra time. It was 0-0 at Full time of normal time.

Drogs won.....

Not the best game to the honest.

Interesting to see how long the little thug Murphy is banned for after his bit of cowardly behaviour at the final whistle. Glad to see he got a slap back in return.

Well done Drogs.

What happened?

Cork were a total disgrace at the end

most ungracious losers since shels at their worst

wat was the score??

Cork City fans despise (like the rest of us) the thuggish actions of Shelbourne staff from their chairman right down but their players are just as bad. Murphy is a dirty player, Georgie a cheat and Rico a total mouth. Cork have become as arrogant as $hels are and their fans show typical Munster arrogance. I wait for the usual response - "you are all jealous"

Somebody else then hit Murphy a dig that he totally deserved.

If that's the case - then it's a total disgrace and a long suspension should come of it.

But knowing the FAI it won't

And this will be swept under the rug on here with accusations of jealousy from the Squaking Cawkies

What about the shots of Cork fans hanging over the railings to spit at McKeon as he went down the tunnel?

We've all disagreed with a referee's decision in our day, but spitting at anyone is well out of order........

A suspension would probally be added to next seasons competition, nothing that will affect the league.

Shocking stuff, if this is what happened!!

So much for us trying to be a serious professional league if our champions act like that!!

Anyone other that derry fans see this??

Went to make myself a nice crisp sandwich the second the whistle blew so can't really pass verdict on that but fair play to the Drogs.
They know how to win matches.
Though Georgie and Fenn blew chances, the players that were there played very well and Drogs managed to soak it all up.
Onwards and upwards.
Now, where's that City-Derry video gone?

Have to say that's bang out of order as well

Ground seemed well filled but not capacity.
My guess is about 6,000 - 7,000 at it.
Anyone know the crowd??
Great atmosphere too.
Congrats to Drogheda United and hard luck Cork City.:)

Hi Eire06 - just saw on Setanta a clip of a a Cork player clattering a Drogheda player and getting a slap in return - they were serarated quite quickly though.

We aren't "claiming" anything.......

It was clearly shown on the TV, to the extent that they showed a replay of Murphy's punch, and Fabio's attempted retaliation. The Gamble bowled in and lots of finger pointing ensued.

The linesman did an absolutely storming job in defusing the situation.

The camera cut away then, and then cut back to Murray and Devine surrounding the referee.

Roll your eyes all you like, there are quite a few posts referring to what happened above.

The Cork players also hounded & verbally abused the ref after the final whistle.

Just wanted an unbiased view and Sir H usually is.
Drogs were ment to be well winding up the Cork lads too so don't think it was all city, still no need for that kind of retaliation..

You got an unbiased view. I personally couldn't care whether Moneybags Utd or the People`s Republic FC won, as I`ve no great love for either BUT Cork`s behaviour was out of order.

By the same token Fitzpatrick was lucky not to get a 2nd yellow, but no amount of provocation justified what happened.

Next Athlone v Galway match - get back to me on that unbiased thingy.:D

heh heh.

Codding aside, thank you for the nice compliment, young lady.:)

Disgracefull behaviour from Murphy - nothing but a bad loser, Fabio threw a punch at him in retalliation but failed to connect

:D POTM

Just back from the game , and I have to say - appalling behaviour by the Langers , spitting at the Referee in the tunnell , its all there on video. Murphy the thug hitting out after the final whistle - really bad losers. Just hope that the powers that be take serious action against Cork over this. Personally I think they should now be banned from the competition - theres sufficient evidence on video , I've seen it.

At the game it was announced at 6000 but looked like more! someone pulling a stroke i would guess ;)

But you still determined that it was verbal abuse?

6000 was the crowd attendance that was announced. Strange it was exactly 6000. Ollie pulling a fast one again?

Main stand - full
Ballbough - 3/4
New stand - 1/2
Riverside - 2/3 minimum

For 10k capacity ground can't see how got 6000.

I saw some come action at FT but couldn't see what happened - recorded match but didn't record long enough for of extra time. If an city fans seen spitting then thats disgraceful & no way can be condoned.

You may call this bitter but heres my take on the game:

I really though Drogs would threaten us but they were shockingly poor except for Connor, Gavin & Gartland. I know all eL refs are poor but McKeon was useless. Gavin was on a yellow card, he took 2 attempts with his elbow in 10 seconds & the ref just talks to him. FFS should have been straight red. Drogs deserved to win the FAI Cup final as eventhough we didn't play well they still scored 2 goals. I can't see how anyone would think they were best side last night - sure they won but almost as bad football as Longford. Aside from the goal Bradley & Keegan who are supposed to be great players were complately outplayed. BTW Fitzpatrick had 2 deliberate handballs while on a yellow card but no red card. We were commenting during the game that McKeon was leaving tackles go so much that was inviting a big challenge.

I heard the game came across crap on TV but what did neutrals think?

It wasn`t great Pete but I`ve seen a lot worse.

Cork should`ve had a few goals in the first half & they paid the price.

A neutral's opinion:
Well done Drogs. Despite having the grumpiest manager in football anywhere, you are having a great run of success and deserve credit for that.
Not a great game by any stretch, except for the fact that the result hung in the balance for so long.
Cork played the best of the football (Gamble and O'Donovan were brilliant), but missed chances that were easier to put away. Tough.
Leech took his goal brilliantly.
Pretty filthy on both sides, with plenty of off-the-ball stuff that went unpunished by the ref and unremarked by the pundits (although I didn't watch the studio afters). I can't see how Cork fans can feel aggrieved: O'Callaghan was shocking yet again, and Murphy deserves a very lengthy ban and/or intensive anger management counselling.
Spitting Corkies should be easily identifiable from the video. It will speak volumes if they are not banned by the club.
(I trust this post won't go the way of previous ones that haven't been sufficiently genuflecting towards the deep south.)

Wait until we play well against ye - if we can beat ye playing like that, we have absolutely nothing to worry about playing against ye in the 2 league matches, even at the cross :)

O'Callaghan was injured. He came back for the 2nd half early to try to warm up his ankle but was obvious in the ground he not going to last.

I suppose teams reflect their manager if you think about it..

We didn't put away our chances. Oh for a fully fit John O'Flynn! Drogheda took their chance well. So well done to Drogs and a big well done to some of the comments in the press during the week that seem to have really wound up the Drogs Manager and players. Pat Doolin on TV was still spitting about some of the comments from City players about not turning up for the Cup final etc.
I couldn't understand during the week why city would wind up the opposition with comments like that, you'd never hear the Cork Hurlers going on like that about the opposition. You do not in any circumstances provide your opposition with motivation, respect yes but motivation definitely not!
