See Finlay, not wonder we always win. You boys just lie down, even before the match is played.
Felix and Pizza will have them fired up I'd say.

Look at the Derry lads pretending the League cup isn't their main priority every year
We don't need to prioritise it, we just win it.Quote:

Thank fook there's a match to go!!! Bored numbless on this bank holiday. I won't even mind getting wet!!
Derry 3 up Molloy, Farren and Paddy McEleney with the goals.
Harps were on top until Molloy's goal but seem to have fallen apart ever since.
Rovers 1 up
Pat's one up. Decent strike from Sean O Connor. He rattled the crossbar minutes before.
Limerick 1 up against Cork
Derry beat Finn Harps 4 - 0 FT
And surprise, surprise, some of the Derry fans beat a supporters bus with stones on the way out...........Quote:

Some wee Derry lads pelted the bus with stones leaving the Brandywell, wouldn't call them Derry fans, more a group of 10 year old scumbags out to cause bother.
Needless to say the bus driver was a legend and revved good and hard and went straight for them, they soon ran off out the gate and up the road.
Limerick 3 cork city 0
COrk are dire delighted for the three youngsters who scored
Cork are very poor at the back and in most other positions too. Shane Duggan probably the only standout player for them when he came. They need to bring in more quality if they are to stay up.
We kept it on the ground and played some good football. Delighted to see Cian Collins and Barry Sheedy from our under19's get a run.
Sorry to hear that lads, were they the three wee lads that were hanging about?
I heard they were 9 foot tall with flaming red hair, laser beams coming from their eyes and lightening bolts coming from their arse. At least 400 of them too.Quote:

Wouldn't worry too much about it, seriously thought the bus driver was going to go straight into the gate after them. Great craic altogether.
Wouldn't be the first time a DL reg has been spotted driving like a nutter in Derry:p Seriously though, that's how many times a supporters bus has been attacked since the season started? something needs done about it by our board!Quote:

Is that not Glenn Fitzpatrick?Quote:

El-P, question out of the blue, but not stirring. Does Tommy have the support of the Cork crowd? I ask as I see him as a good manager, with a good squad who are just not getting the breaks, or able to just kick on a little. I hope ye stick with him as I can see Cork settling mid-table by October.
At the end of the day the buck stops with him, but yeah I think hes got our support for the most part. I think people see this as the players letting him down. He was visibly frustrated with them in Limerick yesterdayQuote:

Dan Murray (slow & unmotivated), Colin Healy (poor), Danny Murphy (inconsistent), McNulty (prone to mistakes), Duggan & Morrissey (out-muscled in midfield).Quote:

Thanks guys for the responses, again, I'll state clearly I'm not stirring, just wondering how the CCFC supporters view it, I know the work he has done in Cork is massive and the work the supporters do for and in the club is likewise. It just seems, to an outsider, that it's one of those situations that will click overnight. When I saw Colin Healy signing I thought it was great, likewise Murray and Murphy are two very solid players. I'm pretty certain the players won't need motivation for Friday night!
Absolutely finished from what I've seen of him.Quote:

He wasn't finished last season, or the season before. Maybe, as LTID says, he's gone back, but at what, 30? For a central defender, maybe he's out of form right now. I'm not a cheerleader for him but 3 or 4 years? Serious?Quote:

Its looked that way since the moment he signed. I have no insight into his thoughts or anything, but he has come from a club that won regularly and paid him well, and now he has taken a massive pay cut to come to the only club that offered him a contract. Its a kick in the stones for him to take a pay cut and to play for a team that won't win as much as Shamrock last year, but he's going to have to get over it fairly quickly or else he will risk losing the respect of the fans that adored him in his first stint here.Quote:

Thats what I expected to see on the pitch this time around but he just doesn't seem bothered.Quote:

For the record, Colin Healy has been worse in my opinion and thats even more surprising, and although he has the excuse that hes coming back from an injury he is running out of rope on that one, hes played about a half dozen games at this point.
Think it's fair to say that none of the three Munster clubs have started the season as they might have wished!
Cobh or Tralee weren't over the moon eitherQuote:
