Kerry should have beaten Bray last week. Good win away to Cobh last night, especially considering Kerry's poor away form. It is disappointing not to be in the playoff picture. Kerry have left points behind them that would have them higher up the table.
Nonense, its so long since we were in the 1st division that tradition will dictate that we stay up! Yoyo United will be back doing what the do best.Quote:

Traditional Junior Cup powerhouses Pike Rovers defeat Midleton 3-1 to advance.
A grim way to spend a Saturday afternoon watching that game,Cork through with little fuss ...
Harps very very poor today. Long journey and down a lot of bodies didn't help.
That was awful from Harps. Wasn't great either from Cork City, but it didn't need to be, they were the better team and deserved to go through.
I feel like if I wrote honestly about Harps it would just invite the Finn Harps Online Defence Squadron, and if I wrote honestly about City it would just be going down the same old road about the standard of X season's first division, so let's spare everyone the tedium of either and just say that was a brutal game of football and we can all move on with our lives.
Dundalk deserved abs nothing last night, and another GK mistake into the mix for a goal to concede, not sure how I feel, would loved cup run, but its all about staying in PD.
Win a play off, scrape to 8th, whatever it takes, that said cup is of course special, but we were in no condition to be getting anywhere near the latter rounds this season, all the focus now on the league.
I've seen Dundalk win 8 cup finals, well 2020 was via TV due to Covid and the only one I've seen score 4 times, so had a good innings to date, can't complain too much.
Last Friday was near identical. I hope I never have to see this version ot City vs Harps again.
Hoping for one of the non league Cork teams in the next round. Expecting Derry away
Waterford, Cork, Treaty and Kerry all through to the Last 16. Non league clubs are always a potential banana skin. If Kerry draw a Premier Division club on Tuesday, Cork away next Friday is the best preparation they'll get.
Ballyfermot defeat Leeds 3-1 - I presume the 6,000 on FAI Connect is a typo for 600!
330 attendance corrected nowQuote:

150-200 at it I'd say
Ballyfermot, UCD, Wexford and Shelbourne are all through to the next to round. Sligo v Cobh Wanderers and Derry v Pat's coming up at 6pm. The Cobh Wanderers players might prefer a bit of a later kickoff if they are watching the hurling!
Derry miss a penalty in Brandywell,a silly stutter one from Patching ......
We started well for the opening 15 or so and have been absolutely useless since. Just fizzing balls up to Melia expecting him to somehow deal with them.
And Derry take the lead not long after..
Big performance from Derry here, pretty much dominated the whole game, did not expect them to have the legs after Bruno's!
2 nil Derry and that should be that,Pats have been awful….
Sligo still leading Cobh Wanderers by a goal to nil.
Derry now leading Pat's 3 goals to nil!!!
Derry responding to a tame European exit.
Disgraceful stuff from Pats. Absolute muck. Disgusted with that.Quote:

So if Higgins deserved to be turfed out if Derry lost tonight, does Kenny face the same calls now? His first game in charge of Pats was against Derry, since then he has presided over just 2 wins in 10 domestic games (3 in 11 is LSC is counted) while at the same time, Higgins has presided over just 2 defeats in 11 games. Yeah Derry bowed out of Europe but assuming Pats do the same, how can he not be in trouble? They were cup winners and finished just 3 points off Derry in third last year, what’s good for the goose and all that . . .
Anyone want to take flights to Zurich off my hands?
He’s 10 games into a 5 year contract,it would be mental if he was to leave now,you’d probably have to wait to this time next year to judge him properly ,I’ve no idea if he’ll be a success at Pats but I’d say he has enough credit in the LOI bank that he would be given time….Quote:

Pat's haven't a hope of finishing in the top 4 this season in my opinion.
if kelliher is any sort of businessman he'll be wanting a return for his very, very large investment next year I'd say..
interesting times ahead in richmond pk
I'd ask the Virgin Media lads when they next do an LOI game...Quote:

Bohemians, Shelbourne, Sligo and Derry are the standout potential home draws for Kerry, having not played them before. Treaty otherwise for a local derby and an even enough battle for making the quarter-finals.
Last 16 breakdown:
Premier Division - 7
First Division - 6
Non League - 3
Just asking - I know he has a long term contract, so was this season already a write-off when he came in? With just 15 games played from 36?
Would have imagined more would have been expected than just wins over us and Shams, he wasn’t exactly starting from a low base, so I was just wondering was there any suggestion of pressure or was this season just a free shot for him to get ready for next year, or the year after that, or the year after that or the year after that
It's almost as if you aren't "just asking" but I cannot work it out, you little messer.Quote:

Agree with the comments about Pats. They were so poor tonight, but probably fair to say we didn't allow them to play much.
In saying that, Pats probably had the best chance in the first half, was it Melia who had the chance for a header on goal but decided to pass it instead?
First half was controlled by ourselves, without creating anything too clear cut. Had a bit of an ominous feeling after Patching missed with his rubbish penalty, but Duffy really turned it on after and it was over fairly quickly after that.
It's the cup, and a win is all that matters, but it was nice to do it so comfortably and with a clean sheet.
Bit mad to be thinking Kenny is in bother. This year is free pass for him, basically. It's certainly fair to question Pat's approach to the game though. Also, what advantage did coming up to Derry on the Saturday night give them? We looked the fresher team, even after 120 minutes the other night.
Mammy always called me her favourite little scamp, but I was being genuine - are Pats fans happy to have this season as a write-off considering the finish to last season, or was that a ‘false’ finish.Quote:

I don't get the 'free pass' thing for SK this year, why? This was their only route to europe now closed off, and they won't finish 4th, even if they did, would need a top 3 to win cup.
He seems to be exempt from criticism from a lot of quarters, that was a really poor performance and I watched most of it, (in the background), and btw far from sour grapes, I thought he did a fantastic job at Ireland u21, he invigorated that whole set up, he was outstanding really, Ireland was a diff story.
He might do well at Pats, but some contract to be on with 5.5 years, he is well covered his end.
