Definately, Saturday's game is our biggest league game in a long long time. Personally, I despise Shels far more than Waterford or Rovers or anyone and Saturdays game against Shels is probably bigger than any of our meetings with Waterford but it's a once off game. On an overall consistant basis though the Munster derby is the biggest game in Ireland along with Bohs v Rovers, it's just a pity that Waterford aren't a bigger club and a better team so we could have a more evenly balanced rivalry!!Quote:

Which El match has had the biggest attendence in the last few years?Quote:

No wonder the programme goes out after the watershed. ;)

That's one interpretation of the "biggest game", but I can't say it's one with which most people would agree. Also, I've seen Colm refer to Cork City as the biggest club in Ireland, and I reckon that's what he and Dolan were getting at. If they'd said "best-supported", that would be fair enough, but a team in a weak league with only one championship to its name (eleven years ago), and which didn't even qualify for fully-fledged European competition this season can't, IMO, be considered the biggest club in that league.Quote:

I think it's just the constant, tedious sniping that's p*ssing people off. And no, I can't say I ever hear any criticism of Cork City (or indeed city) from Dubliners except in reaction to provocation from down south. They certainly don't have a chip on their shoulder with regard to Cork. The simple fact is, lads, I and most other citizens of Dublin don't give a toss about being a "Dub" (it's only really GAAheads who do.)Quote:
I have to say though its rather funny to see so many Dubs, those from Dublin AND Longford, getting so uptight about criticisms of Dublin on a Cork forum. Of course, Dubs would NEVER criticise Cork....:rolleyes: , because you lot are always just having a windup and are gas comedians all together.
A piece of serious advice: if you want Cork to be considered a real, cosmopolitan, Weldstadt-type city (which I'm sure it will be someday), you'll need to develop an attitude to match. In other words, drop the provincial mindset.
You're right though, Pat. Mum was from Limerick and paternal grandfather from Waterford. Not sure if that's better or worse from your point of view ;)
Yeah, I noticed that myself! He could have left it at aphrodisiac, but just kept going down the sexual cul-de-sac.Quote:

If our boys don't get motivated for this one - just to shove down their throats.
Personally - I can't wait for Saturday.
They were right about one thing last night..........they'll be a hell of a "partizan crowd" in The Cross at 5pm.

Yes Cork is a small, close knit city, and like virtually every second city in the world seems to have a hang up regarding the state capital.Quote:

sorry but bohs v shels is the biggest. the last match in tolka must have had an attendence of over 5000 as did the game in dalymount. It is the most important clash as bohs and shels are the best two teams in the country and the game is the most entertaining. The truth is cork will never be the biggest team in ireland as i can't see you winning the league anytime soon. You don't play attractive football and pat dolan is overated.Quote:

so Id say that Ive had a better view than most on what is the "Biggest & Toughest"
Biggest between fans emotions is Bohz V Rovers
Biggest in fan numbers is City V Waterford & Shels V Bohs (IF the league depends on it)
Biggest in a football context is Shels V Bohz as in the last 4 years or so the winners have gone on to win the league
The toughest is City V Waterford coz the Blahs just kick lumps out of you and not the ball, atleast City, Bohz, Shels and Rovers try to play footie!
So the take home message of this post is:
King is a muppet! :eek:
No you are not!;)Quote:
