Thats why you won't challenge in the league but are Cup masters. You don't win leagues with draws but not losing is best tactic in cups.

At this rate Matthews will have touchline ban for rest of the season.

:eek:

But Cork dont win leagues or Cups :D so whats your point.

There I am, sweating over a hot keyboard for minutes, trying to produce a poetic and lyrical composition as my contribution to Corks year as The European Cultural Capital, and at the same time bring a smile to the faces of Cork City supporters in their hour of despondence. What is my thanks for this thoughtful gesture? A further outburst of malevolent begrudgery bordering on the belligerent, reducing me to the battered, bewildered and bemused bard which I now am. :p

Lets rephrase... You won't be top of the league with draws.

So why did Fenn come off after just 33 minutes?

Ah, sure we're happy just to be here ;) Make up the numbers indeed !!

Thats exactly what you lot are there for, according to your own manager.
He says he can't win the league, won't even try, so you lot are there to make up the numbers. You are quite happy with your mid table mediocrity as you so proudly announce it above.
And me bitter?
Bitterness is what would happen to me if I was a Longford fan, watching ambitionless, gutless "football" week in, week out.
I'm thrilled for you lot getting your jollies from the league Cup, you can have it, and I hope you win it again.
Never let your bias get in the way of the facts though. Your team plays dour, sterile, 11 man behind the ball crap, awful to watch and it will turn any new prospective punters off coming to games, but you are quite happy with that.

We might not win anything this season, but I have been entertained by my team, they are great to watch, they play superb football and yes, I'd rather watch City anyday over boring everyone in to a stupor and then stealing a cup.
To each their own...:p

Alan Matthews ambition is to bring trophies to Longford.Most of us accept that we are not good enough to win the league so being holders of the other 2 trophies that are available is as good as it gets for us for the time being.It appears that the people of Cork will quite happily settle for winning nothing as long as they try to knock the ball about it and look good.Probably why they gave the bottler the job of managing them.

Alan Matthews ambition is not to get beaten, and to have you all happily accept that you are there to make up the fixture list in the eL.
Fair play to him, he sees to have succeeded in his second ambition at least.....:p

I'm glad you get your jollies from watching your brilliant team play exciting football, and yes, FAIL to score a single goal in over TWO HUNDRED minutes of play (including a missed penalty against our THIRD choice keeper.)

Keep up the good work !

Hoorah again, plucky Longford.
Keep up the brave fight, little Longford!
:D

In the Longford trophy cabinet we have trophies.In the Cork one they have pictures of Flynny and George waving goodbye to Kevin Doyle as he goes off to pastures new.Maybe he wanted to win trophies i mean surely that is every player and managers ambition.

this thread is going nowhere. Locked.
