0-0 coming up to half time.
Cork have a good record there and St Pats have nothing to play for.
However, Cork may have celebrated winning the Setanta Cup and have a poor manager and tactics etc.
Hope Cork win, would prefer to see Cork in Europe over Sligo even with Mattews record in Europe which is dire :D because he is a dire manager in general :D
Cork playing much better according to match updates, still, a draw or victory for Pat's will do me;)
1-0 to us! Danny Murphy.
For the sake of the league, I'm glad.Quote:

Seriously? He had a decent bunch of players at UCD and they couldn't win a game to save their lives. Wasn't he a disaster at Bohs too, signing half the New Zealand team and the like?Quote:

If Sligo go into Europe I think they'll do fine, then again they've had money issues too.
Still not spending crazy money like Cork. We've paid our players every week, no pay cuts.Quote:

****e...Just means we'll have to beat Cork now.
No baaaawder.
Good win for Cork.Match down in their place is extremely important now,pretty much have to gain 3 points.If it comes to cork taking 4th spot and the FAI having a choice between us and them i think we all know which way that is going to go.well done cork all the same,should be a great game down in turners cross

Setanta Cup win and European qualification. That's the job, I'll take that any day of the week!
Successful season. Cheers lads. :)
That was Joe McGrath.Quote:

Ah my mistake. I think he tries to get his teams playing decent football but don't think he'd hack it at the top sides.Quote:

Has anyone got the exact UEFA text relating to this?Quote:

Wouldn't be easier to just allow city compete .... to make life easy like ;)Quote:

Sorry for asking this question but does that mean they will get a liscence from UEFA?Quote:

UEFA seem to be very strict on the issue as CSKA Sofia were banned from Europe, and would be very surprised if the FAI challenged UEFA's rules.

Matthews seemed to suggest that is was ultimately fai that grantedQuote:

Licence is issued by FAI licencing committee not Uefa as countries have different rules.Quote:

What a great end to a disastrous season for us.
I have never been so proud of the team as I have the past few weeks and months.
Stuck together, gave their all week in week out, won the Setanta Cup last Saturday night and are now on the brink of European qualification.
A fantastic feat when you consider they have been only getting 30% of their wages, the uncertainty that was surrounding the club, and of the course the departures of Mooney, O'Flynn and that other langer.
Well done lads, we won't forget it, let's hope we can push on now next season!
Dunno why people think it will be better for the league if Cork get into Europe. They were an embarrassment in Europe this year
