Have Drogs fans been watching back to back episodes of Oprah or something because they're after getting hypersensitive all of a sudden.

In fairness Peadar, I don't think any other Eircom League supporters will disagree that Cork fans are the biggest drama queens around!!

No offence intended, its just a fact :) !!

Peadar why do you keep the abuse up?

shame .... shame on you .............. just think about what you wrote ..... think how that would make you feel if you were on the receiving end of such vile ............ disgusting behaviour absolutely disgusting and no befitting of your clubs proud colours.

Absolutely! I work hard on it. ;)

Cosmo, you should have posted a notice on the bandwagon to alert your Johnny-come-lately's that there was a risk of serious banter when they mix with the big boys of Irish football. :D

Mr. Black calling the kettle black???

well if abusing your fellow man gives you kicks then so be it - its your life and if you want hate to be your driving force then thats up to you but I would ask that you refrain from such hate driven abusive messages in future as quite simply it is uncalled for and hurtful.

Have a good evening

Did nobody else find this funny? Obviously not. Pete, ye make it sound like if Cork decide to beat someone 3 or 4-0 then thats what happens...there are TWO teams on a football pitch, the rest of us aren't here to make up numbers in the "Cork" league.

I have to agree with one of the Drogs lads, if you say anything about Cork that isn't praise you get shouted down in this forum...it's getting rediculous.

This is precisely why Dublin is the capital city. :p

Where's the hate???

You're clearly new to this game because you are blissfully unaware the massive national love-in, which is the eircom League.

Poor Drogheda fans. I'll try to be nice to you in future. :rolleyes:

Why don't you just shut up!
What do you know anyway! :p

Seriously though, I think what Pete was trying to say is that there seems to be a "what we have we hold" mentality in the City team at the moment. We've been keeping a lot of clean sheets though, so I'm not overly concerned.

Having read this, i have to admit i really worry at times.

Lads, this started because Hoopy said "Drogheda were well on top in the Cross until the sendings off" and i disagreed. Am i not allowed to disagree ??

Peader, you probably should have noticed that people were that bit extra sensitive when you replied with "now little man", you should have picked your words more wisely.

ColinR ..... Cop on and act your age ffs ..... and stop trying to 'play by the rules', you're clearly trying to exercise them to your own benefit.

For the record, (i dont know if its been added yet or not but) that is/will be part of the rules now aswell, this 'play by the rules' 'look what hes doing to me' nonsense. This is a perfect example.

Lads ... grow up.

Jayzuz lads what a load of cack.
Give it a break.

Personally loving the SC. Looks like another Drogs-City final to me if ye can beat Linfield.

I actually cant make out if you are taking the píss or not, but if you're not then the answer is get over it, its not a play ground. Given the context and what is in bold in this quote it is laughable.

Lads, silly stuff like this is only making extra work. A small bit of common sense goes along way.

Have to apologise to the mods, I didn't mean to open the proverbial can of worms:eek:

No, I get it now - its Mr Black & Mr Kettle, they are both PARANOID from too much POT!


Back to this:ball:
I'm really enjoying the Setanta Cup & the coverage is the best we see in Ireland IMO
Still think it would be a good idea to have a seperate Setanta Forum too

Thats MY opinion a face, so do as you say.

About the cup. DCFC v Drogs in the final. Cork will buckle if faced with a sterner challenge from a full strength Drogs, Derry, Linfield or Shels (if they hit form). However Shels are blowin' hot and cold so I reckon Derry and Linfield will make the final four along with Cork and Drogs. But its gonna be a really tight affair come the final four.

Just like we did in the league last season??? :D
You boys think that losing Kearney suddenly made us a bad side?
Check out the tapes of his games for Shels. We made Kearney look good.

Losing Kearney doesn't make you a bad side but losing Kearney, Doyle and O'Halloran makes your squad weaker than it was this time last season.

I don't recall mentioning Kearney...but anyway. I don't think anyones been overly impressed by Cork in their 5 competitive games this year so far. I'm not saying they're worse than last year but yis definitely stood still while everyone else strived for improvement - and I believe that Cork might well regret that.

If drogs keep scoring then they will be hard to defeat as they are strong defensively(although still think Connor is a bit dodgy).

Am confident though that City can up it when the time comes against Linfield or Derry(shels arent looking good at the mo).

Hopefully winning the group and playing at the cross will also give us an edge. Would like to see a Cork City vs Linfield final but a derry game is always a good laugh too.

Its actually in Citys interest if people think we're not up to it. I'd hope we are underdogs all year long.

Exactly. We haven't impressed anyone at all, we look dodgy in closing out games , miss Kearney etc etc.
What harm?
We're through to the Setanta and won our first league match.
I think everyone would rather be in that position.
Fine, we look fecked for depth. Softic, Lally and maybe Guthrie need to be blooded soon as they most definitely will be required sooner or later.
McNulty could do with practise too.
We already know that Lordan has something to offer and what Billy can do, like him or not.
Colin T is looking very well, Fenn or Behan is going to have to sit on the bench and we should have Vinny Sullivan for the Portadown match.
So, as long as what's in bold is done, we'll be as good as last year.
Its not as if we need every young fella to come through.

Young Mc Nulty needs to learn to keep his cool. Saw him play in Belfield and he was yellow and red carded in the game.

McCarthy and Connell seem to have something to offer as well.
The League Cup might be handy to give them a run out.

You guys are making such a big deal out of home advantage.
We had far more trips to Dublin last year, and that to us is a lot more difficult than two trips to Derry. This year, we have Shels at home twice along with Bohs and Waterford. That's a clear advantage for us.

Cork fans need to accept once and for all derry and shels are the two main contenders for the title. Its clear to see derry have made an impressive start AGAIN this year and altho shels havnt they wont make the same mistakes as last year. Shels and Derry and good quality and cover throughout the side as well as quality first elevens.:D :p

Setanta announce further coverage


Irish satellite broadcaster Setanta Sports has confirmed two more Setanta Sports Cup matches to be broadcast live on the channel in the coming weeks. Next Tuesday, March 21st, the Setanta cameras will be at Stangmore Park as Dungannon Swifts host Drogheda United (kick-off 8pm).

Dungannon have taken just one point from their four games to date to lie bottom of Group 1, but Drogheda are well-placed to follow Cork City into the last four – a win in south Tyrone will seal their place in the knock-out stages.

Do they have something against Portadown?:confused: No disrespect to Dungannon, but how can they be shown 3 times and Glens and Portadown have yet to be shown?:confused:

Actually here's a reply they sent me to an e-mail I sent them on Monday.

Dear ________,



Thank you for your recent email and feedback regarding our Setanta Sports Cup coverage. Your comments are noted. I am sorry that we have as yet not shown a live game involving Glentoran in the competition and that you feel we are not sharing the coverage around equally. Unfortunately, Glentoran as I say, and Portadown have both been without a live game so far in the competition. As I’m sure you can understand, editorially, we try and pick the best game of the night to show, and apart from the night of the Derry V Shelbourne 0-0 when Glentoran and Linfield drew 3-3, I think we have fared pretty well.



I would say thought that all the games are very important to us which is why we have cameras at the night’s other game each time. And while Cork may be one of the best supported and highest profile teams in the competition, we are not showing them in the live game next Tuesday deciding instead to show Dungannopn V Drogheda.



We have not picked the live game past the 27th of Marc, so on the last Group 2 night on April 3rd, Glentoran’s visit to Windsor Park may well be the live game, depending of course on the state of the group going into those fixtures.



Once again, thank you for taking the trouble to contact us and I hope you will be able to enjoy the rest of our coverage of the competition over the next few weeks.



Kind regards,



Tim Tuomey

Far more? Are ye serious? Cork played 8 games in in Dublin, we played 7 in Dublin. So if ONE game more is your definition of FAR more...well I'd say your grasping at straws.

Oh and last year - your away record was better than your home record ;)

It doesnt matter how many times we played away from home or at home, or who the opposition was,the fact is WE won the league so this argument about us playing ye at home twice giving us an advantage is total crap

dancinpants,i dont know if this is true or not,but some of your recent posts lead me to believe that your bitter about us winning the league or something. If your posts are 100% your view of things fair enough but to me it does sound like they're influenced by bitterness
