Early days yet, but good to see the Cork superiority complex kicking in again.....
Kenny has faced Dublin City 4 times in the Premier division and lost all 4, surely it ain't that big a shock lads :o

Yeah coz its not like Cork fans ever gloat and run there mouths off. :rolleyes:Quote:

I personally haven't posted on Corks forum, but just what you have descibed happened in the derrycitychat site with Cork fans claiming they'd win the double...cart before horse kinda thing. So I think we can say it happens on both sides no?Quote:

No we still had two strikers, Robbie Collins and David Freeman, the played a little deep is all. Pressure was on for the closing stages but you would expect that playing against Derry.
Bolli.x. We all know what Keely is like. Players booked for time wasting too. Keely and Matthews working together to destroy Irish football. Can't wait to get the scumbag at the Brandy, he will pay!
There was a fair bastion of Hoops there...probably as many Athlone fans at it too...good crowd considering the day it was, the difficulty for travelling Hoops to get there..Quote:

Have to be sporting and say well done to the Hoops but, of course, it hurts we lost. Just sorry didn't get a chance to say hello to you and the rest of the lads.Quote:

I don't know about judging the crowd, but I know standing under the corrugated shed, I was at the edge of the Rovers support so we reached up to the halfway line where I was and a good lot of Athlone support from there to the end of the shed and on the hill behind the goal and not sparsely populated either.
800-1000 would be my random guess
What a miserable St Patricks Day! :mad: Went along to the Dublin City game with a few of my mates from Belfast, who have never been to an eircom league match. I was embarrassed after what was an awful performance. I was singing Derry's praises the whole way down in the car, saying we were a good team to watch! I have never seen as many long punts up a pitch in my life. It was like watching bogball. Fair play to CHF for stopping Derry from playing. Outmuscled in midfield, highlighted by Ciaran Martyn, who at over 6ft was pushed off everyball he went in for and was totally anonymous. The one player who tried to play was Higgins and he scored the og! Hopefully, it was just an off night, and CHF will probably take points off teams. After watching CHF I reckon most of their matches will be 0-0. Lets hope that L'ami wins the Gold Cup to cheer me up!!
Oh well:pQuote:

Rogers had one decent save to make in 90 minutes, and Killian Brennans injury time effort was off target.Quote:

Why are you so negative?:confused: :rolleyes:Quote:

yeah we set the stand on fire and overturned a few cars on the way out.Quote:

as good a yardstick as any
looking forward to taking 3 points in united park!
Look, we gave you a point fair enough ..... but *cough* ahem .... aren't you getting ahead of yourself there lad .... "what this team has to offer" "were excellent tonight" .... c'mon now .... give us the real story !! ;)Quote:

Cork had maybe 3-5 shots on target. As usual O'Callaghan was trying everyting to get Drogheda Players sent off.
Declan O'Brien nearly had his shorts thorn off yet we got nothing.
If this is the standard of refereeing that is going to happen in the League this season there are going to be alot of players sent off
