Good man.

Our game has been promoted very well around the city so should get around 4000 tomorrow hopefully

Looking forward to the massive crowd we are set to host, the atmosphere should be electric but on the pitch im expecting a heavy beating.

I expect to lose but I don't know if it'll be a heavy beating. Nutsy's teams away from home generally settle for winning first and foremost, 0-2 is my prediction. Also forecasting every Garda unit in Longford and Roscommon to be in attendance, plus dogs. The club have been guilty of over reacting in the past but they'll have little or no say on Saturday. The FAI will have their stewards down too probably.

Nice little earner for the nGardai alright.

Great advertising around Cork ahead of tonight's game, billboards, bus stop posters, and a massive jersey hanging outside SoHo on Grand Parade.

We have one of the best club houses in the league shouldn't be a problem.

That Colin Healy goal is the gift that just keeps on giving for cork city's PR people

Are away fans allowed in?

You guys would not believe the buzz online in Russia for the LOI. Last week more than 50 people (and 2 wimmin, though apparently they're people too) sat in 3 pubs in Voronezh to watch the live game! I was well chuffed. Had a hard time explaining to people that we don't broadcast live games (or delayed broadcast) each week. Lots of comments about how well the League is presenting itself. Very proud of our product and supporters!

We learned a lot from our trip to Oriel.....so no, away fans are not allowed in from now on.

Limerick down one within four minutes...

St. Pats 2-0 up on Bray

Bohs & Sligo both 1 up now too

Not ye anyway :)

2-0 Cork, a penalty. A tanking could be in the offing.

Drogheda and Sligo are level, Daryl Kavanagh.

Wexford and Athlone both ahead in the First Division.

Annnnnd Shane Duggan sent off after half an hour.
