Your obviously a small time bunch of people in Cork.
This poor side has won this trophy beating the best team in the ROI in there own back yard.Quote:

Yes we are a poor side and you are a great side who has won feck all squared.
I know which sort of team I would like to be watching, my side that goes out to win games, not show a toothless display like Cork did.
The final your not a part of, why? Becauise you wheren't good enough to get their.Quote:

Shots off target, ffs that has me sweating....Not. If we had our best players fit do you honestly think we would have played as poorly? All ifs and buts, but one thing that is fact is, we beat you 1-0 fair and square in 90 minutes. Also are defence was very much a makeshift defence, far from our strongest back four.
Yes, listen to dodge :rolleyes: neither team had a myriad of chances as we did monday, because they're both good defences. we had 4 or 5 chances, one of them being o'donovan in the clear for a goal when hacked down.Quote:
As far as I could read, you never had a shot on target apart from your penalty, how is that deserving? Also your 8 points behind with only a hand full of matches played, your some team.
Well yeah, in our team for monday we had brian o'callaghan who couldn't get near the squad last season, admir softic from the u21s, colin o'brien and billy woods who saw their best action in the 90s, a crocked john o'flynn and denis behan, more of a battering ram than a striker. and we still outclassed you in (almost) every area of the pitch! as we've said, when we can pick all our players, we'll be stronger, and theres more on he way from the Stellar Group. so - we're beating the top teams, and we're going to get stronger. and that means we have no hope? :D yeah, its exciting being in a league where several teams will challenge! you should try it some time.Quote:
Drogheda, St Pats and Derry City will all finish in front of you, even though Derry are going through a hard time they will come good. Your not a great team.
2 years in a row we've treated it as pre-season, even admitted by richardson before last years competition. i assume you didnt play as pathetically in those other 15 games you didnt lose. Nobody's saying you're that poor all the time but for pity's sake, admit when you were outplayed and got lucky, rather than trotting out inappropriate cliches about winning ugly.Quote:
If we win the Setanta cup that will be twice that our league has beat your league in an all-ireland competition. 18 games, 2 defeats is our record in the Setanta what's yours?
we turn out in our thousands ever week - obviously a concept unknown to yourselves. good money? relatively good, yeah. important? not a hope. get some teams from wales/scotland involved, then it might be an interesting concept, because frankly, at the moment its like the rest of ireland playing munster's top sides - one decent team, and the rest a collection of the ****-poor to the amatuer.Quote:

It has failed to live up to our expectations.Quote:

Talk about false advertising!
I think its fairly clear that Linfield are the best side in the IL as the others have done nothing in the Setanta Cup.
We have beaten Swedish League Champions two years running in Europe but if I was honest I do not believe we would beat them week in week if we played in the Swedish League. Similarily Linfield would not be beating sides at the top end of the eL every week.
Cork City obviously failed to live up to expectations. Funny ye only made the final 1 out of 3 times - and lost that one :oQuote:
