No offense thecorner, but if I was at the City game today and I went to leave and you tried to stop me, I'd clock you one. If people want to leave that's their business, not yours.

love to see you tryQuote:

If people start to leave early and other people take offence at it & give them verbals it will distract from what we should be doing - supporting City. It would be a shame if anyone left early but let it go I reckon. I'm staying till the end and will be there afterwards to applaud the team and show my appreciation for what they have achieved. Lets not get into even considering any other course of action. Concern yourself with your own behaviour, your own support for Cork City FC. What a day for the club. Irrespective of the result today is a great day and I'm going to enjoy it. I've already enjoyed the build up and the thought that today Nantes are in town to play against us in the quarter finals of a European competition. Magical magical feeling. More of the same please next season Mr Dolan
I'm afraid I'm not going to get into a discussion about who's the hardest thecorner, I was simply making a point. I don't blame you for not having the intelligence to recognise that.Quote:

Every penny counts in the eL.Quote:

great they got that standing ovation
What amazed me the most last night, was that, given the amount of 'new' fans and 'daytrippers' that were there, that very very few people left before the final whistle. The ground was still more or less full to capacity at the final whistle, to give the team the applause they so deserved.
I reckon many of these folks will be back. Hopefully to see us finally end our Waaherfurh hoodoo.
I could not believe the amount of people that went to the match that had rarely been to an el game before thought it was "unbelieveable" or "fantastic" -i think the whole inter toto experience is going to have a large knock on effect - i think the club should use this opportunity to really step up the clubs marketing and keep the attendances well up.
And what a home game to follow up our European adventure!! A munster derby with Waterford. Should be an exciting and tense affair. Hopefully the game will go ahead and the weather stays fine. If the football is good fans could see that there is more to Cork City than intertoto glory.Quote:

Will their keeper be suspended tho??Quote:

Not justifying people leaving early but I can understand why people (very few though) would on Saturday. The game kinda died after Nantes scored and City didn't seem to have the same drive they had previous to the goal. The crowd quitened down as well. I for one am glad I stayed til the end to cheer the team and their achievement. But when the chant "Sunshine Supporters" rang out from the shed, I thought to myself that this isn't a good way to entice people to come back.
exactly my thoughts at the time.Quote:

I couldn't go to Nantes but I gotta say I was surprised at the amount of people that stayed after NEC to applaud the team. Looked like pretty much everybody to me.

I can't stand people leaving early. Anyone who left that game early on saturday should be put in stocks and stoned and then banned from ever attending a match again. Its the height of ignorance, disrespect and bad manners. Well done to all those who stayed. The team deserved the ovation they got
dan connor is the fella your thinking ofQuote:
