really looking forward to getting back to the leauge, bray allready had a good result in cork against us but we have improved since than and dont concede goals too easily these days. it is oer 540 minutes of football since we conceded a goal. The last one was by that portadown pr!ck and in the leauge it was away to waterford.
Is there many city fans going to this game?
I can't make this one. :( I've to work Friday afternoon. I'm aiming to make the UCD away game. I'll see how things work out.
well this season our away support has been great even away ro rovers when there was no buses went and we had a big game away to shels on the monday. I'd say 200-450Quote:

I can see this being a 0-0 draw :(
I'm going for another 1-1 as in Turners Cross. We have the worst defensive record in the league so Cork will score at least once. We also have a good scoring record this season scoring in 10 out of 12 games.
Excellent result for us tonight, and the other results couldn't have gone any better for us.
Interesting to hear John Kenny's co-commentator at the Carlisle ground mention his discussions with George during the week.
A warning to Rico as well not to bring Derek on when he plainly is not up to it/not ready...:rolleyes:
I think it's between us, Derry and Bohs, $h€l$ really seem to have problems.......
If Derry lose tomorrow night. IMO its our title to lose. Derry won't have it easy against Longford. Next Friday against Longford is a MASSIVE game for us. We just MUST win that game infront of what should be a packed Turner's Cross. COME ON CITY! :)
I know its easy to forget us, but we are not out of it! I really dont expect us to win it but If we beat Derry tomorrow and get something in Cork next week, ya never know. Watching Shels tonight, we are certainly playing better than them atm.Quote:

Derek came on when the game was as good as over - or so we thought. They got a good goal but that was it really except for the free (which was a really good tackle from Derek, but it was Stokes in charge so you know what happens then :()
O'Flynn could easily have had 2 or 3 goals but their keeper made some vital saves. Credit to Fenn for musceling Charles off the ball a few times and holding his own in the air too.
Well deserved win and tip top of the league :) Lets hope none of the players have vertigo!
shels are only 8 points behind us.a few loses for us and the opposite for them and we're behind them.don't write shels off anyway.hopefully we'll keep themselves and derry at arms length for as long as possible.Quote:

just back from the game, how bray could be in contention for the final few minutes of the game was unreal when they should have been out of sight. Overall good performance, roys goal was exellent, super pass from danny murphy to pick out georgie who found roy 0-1. whole team really played well, think the only reason coughlan was brought on was because bray started to play with 7 up front but he was all at sea for the goal.
Geat to hear that O'Donovan and Fenn scored, and its no bad thing that Derek got a run, even if it was a wobbly one. Its a very long way to the end of the season, but to be eight ahead of Shels at this point is a fine place to be, especially as they slide from bad to worse. Imagine what it must be like inside the head of anybody at Shels, but especially wee Fenlon's. Angry, confused, paranoid and unstable are only outside guesses. Bet he hates the sight of Crowe now. Is there a team in the league they would fancy meeting now? It all calls to mind Jose Mourinho's remark about loving Arsenal when they were losing points every week mid season. God, but its easy to like Shels now.
I just got home ,good city support at it .Brilliant feeling being 7 points ahead.
8 ahead of shels :DQuote:

I agree with you DE TOWN. I think you dismiss Longford at your peril. I don't think they have the horsepower to win the League but will do damage to those who don't take them seriously.Quote:

Whisper it though......$hel$ aren't out of it yet.
Like Rico says - "let's take one game at a time"
"longford a threat" if they are in contention to win the league il eat my hat bloody hell they are 13 behind us and we are playing well are we set to implode or what ????????
After watching the match last night, I have to say yez didn't overwhelm us. Fair enough, it wasn't until yez were 2-0 up that we started having our best chances but I wasn't overawed by the performance of the top team in the country.
Also, if Troy McClure's on, are you going to do another copy of the Genesis Reporter? ;)
I'd agree superfrank. We didnt "overwhelm" ye. But we scored two goals, missed a couple of chances and ended up going home with three points. You may not have been "overawed" by the performance of the top team in the country, but we left with maximum points. I'd take a win and a poor performance every day. Maybe thats why we're top of the league.Quote:

True, Cork deserved the win and 3 points is what counts. Bray started to play for the last 15 mins but by then the game was in Cork's hands and if Coughlan had'nt of come on then we might not have gotten one,we came close with Hugh Davey's free kick but at the end of the day could'nt create enough chances- mainly because our hoof tactics suited Dan Murray down to the ground.Quote:

Rhona Daly was assistant again, luckily enough she did'nt have to make any big decisions :rolleyes: .
Congrats on the win lads :ball:
Papers said today that Bray's 'keeper had a great game making several really good saves.
Seems to be a trend here as Galway's keeper did the same last Monday in the Cup and several others (except Williams..... :D ) have done the same.
Much and all that I like him, I hope Digger has a stinker next Friday ;) . If he does he'll be my hero for ever.
lads there was a serious clash of kits last night, seeing that city could not play in there green or white strips last night they reverted back to the older dark blue one that clashed with the refs black strip and at one stage i am convinced fenn through the ball to the ref.
I wonder was this brought to the attention of any of the officials last night.
ya very likable character is digger, but along way off being one of the best keeper in the leauge.Quote:

Away form is lethal so just need to edge those home games.
What will the dublin media do when the 2 cities 1st & 2nd....?
I said I would be surprised if we are even challenging for the League. WE wont but we could cause some trouble for the teams at the top, thats my point.Quote:

Strange one!!! The look on some of your faces when we lined up the free kick was priceless ;) . Well deserved win though. In control for most of the game, BUT we could've sneaked A DRAW AT THE END! :)Quote:
