Tony Mc will still be out for this if you believe what the LOI website said. Cork aren't as strong as previous years and have had bad start to the season so a win is very much possible. I reckon we could nick this one.

Yeah, before the Drogheda game he was reported as being out for two weeks.
What's the chances Cork could get Healy and Farrelly in for this one? Although I'm not sure if they'd be more of a help or a hinderance.
Daz Ryan is said by some to be their best player this season, make of that what you will.
They will more than likely be available for selection.Quote:

3/1. Pitch markings were of a non standard width.

5/1. Dublin air of inferiour quality to Cork air.
5/1. UCDD using incorrect style of play, Cork being more suited to 3-5-2 formations used by european clubs in the inter-toto cup.
10/1. The discovery that Darragh Ryan is not the messiah.
100/1* Some failing on Cork's part.
*Novelty bet
Are you prepared to offer odds on the slippery nature pitch brought about, completely impossibly, by the long grass?
God I hate when we play UCD.
Usually means crap game, a draw and serious injuries to our players...must be the crap pitch :P

Awful feeling today that the whole Farrelly/Healy thing is going to come tumbling down and Citys slow start looks like it could go on for quite a bit.
Haven't had much glory in Belfield.
I see so beating us 5-1 on our own patch a couple of years ago doesn't count does it? :confused:Quote:

46A. Get off at the Radisson Hotel, it's directly across from Foster's Avenue.Quote:

Ya, I've actually changed my mind.Quote:

+ Poor Student,
I'd be very surprised if anyone even on that site said that, although Ryan is beginning to settle in now.
Where's that thesis?
Well, there's at least a very positive thread about him on the Cork forum (well, it starts off very anti-him, and then hilariously swings very much pro-him on the basis of one game. Fickle fickle! :)).
Here's one person anyway saying he's been Cork's best player this season.
And I love this comment! :D
could you quote them? some of us arent fortunate enough to be eligible members of such a fine establishment.Quote:

its just an effort to get the number of registered users up. unfortunately the admin hasnt changed the warning system accordingly and being banned from posting also means not being able to read the forum.Quote:

The last 2 games he seems fitter, hungrier, more aggressive and well able to pass. I dunno maybe its because he's a full time pro now that he's come on.
The Jury is still out though.
I think he looks decent. I reckon he'll improve under Davey Hill aswell in time.
Back on topic.4-0 City
There's one member of Darren's fanclub anyway: http://www.ccfcforum.com/forum/index...dpost&p=314872Quote:

All of the new signings (including Kearney) have performed well in comparison to a lot of the existing first teamers. Though that's not saying a hell of a lot. We have been lucky with the fixtures as the team has had no preseason and it shows; had we been up against some of the bigger boys our goal difference could be looking miserable.
Hopefully the win against Ports will kickstart the season and Healy and Farrelly will become available soon. Colin and Gamble need to know they have to fight to get on the team as our midfield has been shocking.
If the boys don't get clearance and ye can stifle Kearney then our main creative threat is from Ryan or Kelly (Central Defender) :eek:
Roy and JO'F will always cause problems tho'.
Honestly don't know how this one will go, :confused: too many variables !
Thought Darragh Ryan wasnt too bad when I saw him play. Dont think you have much to worry about Pete there was a big improvement over the Galway performance on Tues in Setanta Cup.
Is it right that if you show an Ireland-Wales ticket when buying for UCD-City it's only €10? That's a good idea if so, though it should work the other way to i.e. regulars at EL games should get discounts on Ireland tickets. Does the 18 bus go anywhere near the ground?
Yeah, it's a one off idea from the club. Might work nicely - any langers heading along to Croker on Saturday might consider coming up a day early a little harder.Quote:

Can anyone clarify?
Is Radisson best place for a pre-match pint these days?
Was never in there, although never thought about it as a replacement for the Montrose, to be honest. Good spot, possibly!
The Montrose or Lonnegan's (a pub connected to the Montrose) are the usual places.
I've heard Kielys in Mount Merrion is good craic.
Quite expensive I believe.Quote:

Darren Murphy is definately out.
Out of those 3, Kearney would be the only starter and I think he's likely to shake it off.
