Dave mckeown in galway. Can we survive
By the standards of the Cork games Ger Canning would have commentated over the summer, 13 points is a relatively narrow deficit I'm afraid.Quote:

1-3 Limerick
Awful stuff from Pats tonight. Looks like most of them weren't arsed.
Limerick are not going down. No way.Quote:

i love the way the rte cameras didn't show the 100 rovers brained ad idiots who ran onto the pitch and encroached half way across the pitch to antagonise the dundalk fans. half of which where we'll over 30 years of age. They also didn't show the "f rte" banner which was ripped down by their idiot security team. anyways we are champions and those 100 brain dead idiots have a serious amount of egg on their faces!!!!!haha
It was cringe-worthy. They should show more self respect.Quote:

Says the club who will be celebrating a draw for the next two weeks!Quote:

It is a reflection on how low the expectations and standards have fallen at Rovers that an opening goal would merit such a reaction from fans - I'm sure many Rovers fans were thoroughly embarrassed by it
They were delighted to have handed City a little bit of hope.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:Quote:

Hope that sates the taste for Dundalk blood! ;)
The vast, vast majority of Cork fans have been very gracious. They know what it takes to win a league, and back to back titles are a different beast altogether.Quote:

The goal. There's a small minority of our fans who seem to think we have a rivalry with Dundalk, or else want to create one.Quote:

3 Drogheda
On the game itself. I thought we were poor. Very nervous and not doing the simple stuff and trying the pass that wasn't on. The penalty awarded to us was very soft but how stupid must Cregg be to put your hands on the back of a player in the penalty box.
Back to back champions for the first time in our history. some achievement and a huge thanks to the players and staff at dfc who made it possible.
My one gripe though is that we booked Hooperman for a party in oriel and he never showed. The ad said any party or occasion and location wasn't a issue.
Harps goal against Athlone last night. Typical end of season game in Lissywollen. Nothing in the way of atmopshere really, Athlone were pretty lethargic and understandably just getting through the last few games now. Harps had two players making their full debut, and two players came on in the second half for their debuts also.
Harps were much the better side and played some half decent football at times, but overall it was a fairly poor game really with neither side really forcing much in the way of saves from either goalkeeper.
Jesus
Huge equaliser for Sligo at Longford tonight.
Skinner literally threw away two points there ffs. Would have all but kept us up but we're still bang in trouble.
Drogheda, Sligo, Galway and Longford all within touching distance .
I know we are running out of games but when you consider most in July would have thought they were safe it's some turn around by us. Continue to play like we are and we will be safe. Take the foot off the gas at all and we are in trouble.
based on what I saw tonight ye will beat Sligo last day of season. Sligo have gone backwards over the last few weeks. We are still in trouble though. Yet again we cant hold a lead or win a bloody match when the opposition are down to ten men!Quote:

Good to hear something was done. It was more than 1 guy though!Quote:

Everyone from Bray down is in trouble. The Drogheda / Longford, Bray / Galway and Rovers / Limerick games the real huge games of the next 3 weeks but realistically every game is massive. Hoping for 3 home wins next Friday night.Quote:

Very poor turnout from from the home supporters last night.
Thought we were the better side in the second half but apart from that I wouldn't disagree with you.
Over half division engaged in a relegation dogfight!
The stuff of ecstasy according to Declan Conroy. Grounds in Longford, Drogheda, Sligo, Derry, and Bray must be filled to the rafters.
Nothing like a relegation battle to get out floating fans and the wider community.
Great logic, eh.
With the relegation battle being the way it is and hypothetically speaking if the same happens next season would it not be better to increase the pd to 14 teams as obviously the standard of the league is improving . The division Afterall is only as strong as it's weekest team
I thought the ott goal celebration had something to do with hard times over the past seasons.Quote:

They must be having personal problems then because like most of our scrotes they only show up once or twice a year (if that).Quote:
