God it was an exhilerating performance - Kearney and Doyler were scintilating!! :D
Yippeee - it was a great performance from them all and great support behind the team......... never stopped singing! I have no bloody voice left this morning though!
And the waaaaahurrrfffffuuuur fans? What about them? They're crap!
"Longford Sunday week - I'm Longford Sunday week.....!!"
"Inbreds, Inbreds - what's the score?!"
As for Reynolds?? SCUM!
Even the Irish Times has mentioned the possibilty. Malone in his report of the $hels/Bohs game said:
"The draw means that Cork City now look the most serious threat to their ($hels) ambitions although Pat Dolan's side would need to win their two games in hand and their clash with Shelbourne in Dublin to slash their rivals' current lead to just one point."
At the very least, 2nd place is ours to lose.
Hate to be pessimistic, but it would be typical of City to f*ck up last nights result by dropping points to Longford and/or SPA.....:(
I know I should be more confident, but.........
i got the best text messege ever last night
i think i left a yelp out of me, and quite possibly danced a little bit too.Quote:

Kearney is a wizard. The Rat had Carey on to double mark him but even that didnt work and when Carey was taken off Kearney had even more fun with the poor Waterford right back. The fella must be very dizzy this morning when he woke up.
Gamble and Georgie work very very well as a centre midfield partnership, agree that Georgie has become more of a team player at one stage he was back clearing a ball off the line after Devine was beaten.
Happy Days
Era we dont want anyone to take notice, better that way.
Suddenly they look over their shoulders and there is a big City shaped shadow looming over them
No no no.....Benno's cool..... I think ye'd hit it off....Quote:

Waterford-Normal service has been resumed

Good match report, Patsh.Quote:

Highlights for me were:
1. Decision to play Greg, even though it meant leaving Danny on the bench. The guy not only played well, his work rate was outstanding. 110% commitment like that must give the players around him a real lift. And when you can keep the best LB in the EL on the bench, that must count for something for the guy after an iffy relationship with Dolan this season.
2. Devine's save 10 minutes from time when we were lifting that kid from the front to the back of the stand. Waterford have a horrible belief in themselves even when they look well beaten. If that shot was not stopped, I think my heart would have.
3. The sight of Greg pushing the ref, and Georgie pulling him at the same time, (in a friendly sort of way like) trying to tell on Reynolds after he hit Behan.
4. The ref looking for his officials to escort him off the pitch at half time just after he ignored a foul on Doyler on the edge of the box. The Blues centre back deserved a card, we deserved a free kick, and the latch waved Play On. Actually scratch that, that was not a highlight, it just made the city players and supporters mad, so this incident is a highlight in retrospect. It seemed to drive the City team to do their talking on the pitch at a time when the ref gave a run of strange decisions against us.
5. O'Flynn. He was everywhere. He was awesome. HE IS BACK.
6. The ref allowing us poor enough advantage when it should have been a penalty. I bet he got the shock of his career when we actually went on to score. (4th goal, I think).
7. Gamble looking like City's next captain.
Leesiders enjoy provincial dominance

Waterford United 1-4 Cork City
Cork may have failed to win any of their first six Premier Division Munster derbies after Waterford’s promotion to the top flight two years ago, but this landslide victory at the RSC confirms their new-found superior in the direct battles of the south coast.
Waterford had taken three wins and three draws in those six derbies, but Cork reversed the trend with a 2-0 win at Turners Cross in July and this result, in the final derby of the season, will inflict plenty of pain upon the Suirsiders.
Nevertheless, while Cork have a Uefa Cup place to aim for, Waterford have the more pressing matter of an FA Ireland Carlsberg Cup decider against Longford Town to come next week, so both clubs can still achieve their ambitions for the season.
Waterford had two former Cork players within their ranks, and neither will remember this game especially fondly.
Alan Carey, the former City player, saw his backpass roll into his own net to give the visitors the lead after 18 minutes, and Waterford player/manager Alan Reynolds, who left Cork under a cloud 18 months ago, was dismissed by referee Dave McKeon in injury time to cap a miserable night for the home side.
Willie Bruton, who had come within a whisker of joining Cork from Cobh Ramblers two seasons back, cancelled out Carey’s o.g. to haul Waterford level three minutes before the break, but that was as good as it got for the homers.
Kevin Doyle, the Irish under-21 forward, put Cork back in front from close range early in the second half and the game was effectively over as a contest when defender Alan Bennett popped up for City’s third on the hour, finishing off George O’Callaghan’s precise cross.
John O’Flynn made it 4-1 with 12 minutes remaining, reacting quickest to the loose ball after Blues keeper Dan Connor had saved from Doyle, and the Blues’ misery was completed when Reynolds saw red at the death.
Waterford United: Connor, Coleman, Frost (Waters, 80), Breen, Whelahan, Reynolds, Mulcahy, Carey (Sullivan, 68), Clifford (Quitongo, 68), Murphy, Bruton.
Cork City: Devine, Horgan, O’Halloran, Bennett, D. Murray, O’Callaghan, Gamble, Woods, Kearney, O’Flynn (Behan, 88), Doyle.
Referee: D. McKeon (Dublin).
