Dundalk are still big favourites, IMO. This has probably worked out quite well for them. Kenny would have been reduced to a gibbering wreck by the pressure and uncertainty of sending a team out to draw. Now they can simply play without inhibitions.

I agree Dundalk are probably still favourites to win it but we have just put ourselves in a great position where we can afford a draw. Also refreshing to hear Billy dennehy say that the plastic pitch doesn't make any difference so hoping that argument won't be a part in the build up to this game. This time around Colin Healy has to play instead of being left out over the worry of an injury on the astro turf, too big of a game to leave a big player like him outQuote:

Could the FAI not insist on a temporary stand for this match? And then stop people from sitting in it.
The problem is that we are unlikely to be able to fit in all the home fans who are looking for tickets. If we were to put up an additional temporary stand for Cork fans, we would have to turn away home fans. You could imagine the reaction to that in Dundalk.Quote:

Ah suppose never thought of that alright.. shame as we would of brought double if not triple of what will be there I'd say but yeah also a lot of your fans will miss out too which is unfortunate
I felt the same as you as I stood there in the rain, with flu, having travelled up from Cork straight after work to watch. I should have brought my extended family if I was a real fan apparently. Not sure he really needed to be on the pitch to deliver his address either. :)Quote:

Does that mean that sligo are **** so.
Now Now Patrick whats this about REAL FANS. So the club I support and have done since 1984 has 300 or so REAL FANS. Foras members and Season ticket holders are real fans now eh. What about the other 3,500 of us that turn up week in week out and attend away game's as well. The forgotten majority.Quote:

Our results (or lack of) in Turners Cross have probably played a part in Corks point total this season. The first game there we were the better team and lost and in the second game we missed a last minute penalty to grab a deserved draw. Story of our season really.Quote:

Some people in Sligo are saying Heary is all but signed up to manage them next season.
Tickets are being distributed as fairly as possible. Members first, then season ticket holders. I would assume most of the away travelling lads or 1 or both (the ones I know are anyway).Quote:

With so few tickets being made available there are bound to be people let down. You have to give Members first refusal and then season ticket holders or else theres no benefit to paying all that money. I've been paying two memberships for 5 years now and that equates to over 5000 euro. I've only claimed one ticket for that but even if I had taken two I'd deserve it.
There may be some lads who travel to every away game and if they aren't season ticket holders at the very least you'd have to ask why not? If we were selling out every game every week then maybe you could look at an away travel scheme but this has so rarely been an issue in LOI history.
I have friends who are season ticket holders and travel to 10-15 away games a season but who aren't guaranteed a ticket for this game and I'll be gutted if they don't get one but we all knew for months this game was coming and if it mattered this was likely to be the situation.
That's the rumours alright. Only rumours mind.Quote:

Personally the only definition of good football I think is worth anything is outscoring your opposition. Agree though that comparisons to previous years are meaningless. People always, always think the league is getting progressively worse with the possible exeption of the years when several clubs were in the process of spending themselves to near or actual death.
