One ticket per season ticket holder or Official supporters club member. The MFA are in control of the tickets and only gave 1500 to CCFC fans.Quote:

Apologies if this has been explained before
No point in asking Cork City if they want to play a match since City then just have to ask the MFA for the use of TC. From Roy's previous experience (he organised a fundraiser for Cobh, Man Utd u14s + Roy Keane v Cobh Ramblers, which bloody sold out) he probably knew this and Sunderland went straight to the MFA. Since the proceeds are going on new turnstyles and a proper outside wall for the stadium we play in, CCFC agreed to participate, in some manner.Quote:

Anything more concrete than your guess (and thats not a pop at you Gavin, just looking for clarification, thanks for the answer)
Well Niall Quinn organised the whole tour but I dont see why he wouldnt have asked Roy who to call in Cork.Quote:

Honestly wasn't fishing like that. Never realised the MFA were so territorial like that. I'd always presumed they had an excellent relationship with CCFC
I honestly didn't mean to stir
They've had a rocky relationship with city in the past but this last year they've behaved a little nicer. however, any semblance of comradery goes out the window at the mention of €200,000 + match program receipts. city are stuck making badges and scarfs, but at least the profits have been agreed to go on something beneficial to everybodyQuote:

I'd say it'll be a 'City XI' regardless actually.
Crap Match. No one stood except Colin Healy and Dwight Yorke.
True. Yorke had some lovely touches alright.
A joy to watch though the match was poor.
My thoughts as well.
Yorke and Healy stood out but my Man of the Match and to me the best performance of the night was Dan Murray
Pure Class. If only we another one to go with him at centre half.
Sunderland dominated and some City players looked way off the standard required. Sorry to say Softic is not good enough.
Its been pretty obvious for a year or two which players aren't up to standard but I guess Rico thinks that we need the back up of these ex-u21s who are probably adding little to the wage bill anyway.
You don't need 17 top class players to win the league.
Now that it looks like we can afford to sign promising or quality players, I expect a lot of these to leave this close-season.
Expect a lot of familiar faces in St. Colmans Park next year I'd say.
I totally agree.Quote:

One problem I had though was with the PA System, it was shocking, it was like a funeral microphone, had absolutely no range on it. I was in St. Annes and I couldn't hear half the players being brought on.
How bad is Kieron Richardson?????????????
Thought Miller was good, think for years and have more evidence now, that Stokes is Monaghan standard!!! Whats the story with Kearney not runnin at players at al.
How I wish I could say that it was because it was just a meaningless friendly ...:(Quote:

agree. Pity really, does the pub next to TC still have the money with his face on it.Quote:

Motivating players in the Championship might be enough but if they cannot pass the ball will be shown up in the Premiership.
My personal highlight was the exaggerated Rico, Rico chants at HT & FT on his way towards the tunnell, which he totally milked while Keane was just a few feet behind him, receiving little adulation.
Very funny.
Cheer the Dub, while boo the man who has the freedom of cork, and did so much (good & bad) to put cork on the map, a national hero to some. just stating the facts.Quote:

murray: ex-city
nolan: ex-city
mccarthy: ex-city
daly: ex-city
caulfield: ex-city
the rest are a mishmash of cobh wanderers and rockmount players.
oh yes the times they are a changing
God yo are really pushin the boat out when you call Henderso ex-city (he will probably be youre next manager when ye cop to Rico)
no passengers in the rest of the lads you named..Nolan gone..Hendo copped on to him,the rest are mostly young lads who just want a to prove they can do it at LOI level..
How are the Cobh lads doin up at City?
murphy is fighting with colin o'brien, admier softic and kilian lordan for 4th choice center mid, though his injuries arent helping his case. devine has another year in him, he has to maintain his consistency. went through a bad patch but being dropped sorted him out.Quote:

carey, class,
gutsy on loan but class,
Mucky fantastic think hed do way better job than horgan RB, and Lordan
Murray we bought not as if ye dumped him, yell prob look for him back when other murray stops.
Nolan we released
McCarthy still with us yet to score league goal, fair enough.
Daly only 21s player hasnt played for Seniors yet
Caufield has left and didnt play with the senior team.
we have Mike O'Shea, John Meade, Barrett, Cambridge,Deasy,Deady, Hennessy all played with 17s and youths. Mike, John,Barret,Davin all played schoolboys in Cobh.
Correct me if im wrong dont think we have one ex rockmount do we?1 Wanderers.All EL standard. Ye even want Davin our only player who we signed from Wanderers he was only there because his job. Dunno what your problem is so what like, we will always look for players off ye that will improve our squad.
The same thing ye do every week.:DQuote:

The MFA must have made out like bandits on this.
Reading today that tv rights between TG4 & Setanta would have been 45k. I heard it was 5 euro for the programme & were tickets 25 euro?
Even allowing for the costs must have easily pulled in 150k+
Not seen the new turnstiles but they would want to be very nice for 150k.
:eek:
