Harps- 8 league wins in a row at home without conceding a goal.
Cobh- unbeaten in 27 games, i.e. 3 complete rounds of matches.
One of these formidable records must end on Friday night.
The buildup starts here :cool:

so unbeaten and all, we have gained 5 points on ye in just 6 games. Remember, 6 games left and only 2 points of a gap. We have Dundalk and Shels out of the way, ye have both to play.
Now who do ya reckon is under pressure? :cool:
we will take three points in finn park....refuse to lose!!!!!;)
Are ye taking a bus up? Any chance of a lift to the match for two Galway-based Harpsmen?
id take the draw but i think we can win it, in fact i know we can win it as we have beaten them already this season, and in ballybofey. harps arnt a great footballing side, very physical, that will be their game against us this weekend.
people also seem to be forgetting that harps lost 1 nil to athlone town on 1st of this month, so they arnt unbeatable.
if it was about getting the ball down and playing football, ramblers would win this league hands down.
What harps have you seen this season??? :confused:Quote:

Have to agree rams playing good football,but last time harps came to cobh only a few weeks ago they played some great football,on the ground(as it should be)passing and moving,attacking at every option and it must be said that they are a good footballing team ,physical or not,so has all the ingredients of a great game come friday night..
whats the nightlife like in your neck of the woodsQuote:

c'mon the rams
Sorry Mr.A no club bus going up at all, hardly little or no fans going, its a very very long trip, doing my best to go but not sure yet.Quote:

Can't wait.
I know that a handful are going MR.A so hope to see you in o'malleys,any good b&b's that you'd recommend..i heard jacksons mentioned..
To be honest, I've never used any of them so I couldn't really say, don't even know the names of any B+B's there. Jacksons, Villa Rose and Kees* would be the main hotels in the Twin Towns though.
*- in Stranolar, other side of the Finn
is there a bar at the groundQuote:

Bars all over around the ground, The Junction (O'Malleys), The Gallery, Gallens, Bonners Corner Bar, and lots more. O'Malleys as I said are usually the best, with Lads before and after the game. Half time is usually the Gallery.
Away fans always made welcome in the 'fey :cool:
Not knocking ye lot lads but surely ye should have put on a bus for fans. I know its a horrible, horrible trip, but this is probably gonna be the title decider for your clubQuote:

Seriously though- if you ask a few of the Harps fans chances are one will know him. Don't think I'll be about for pints unfortunately.
If im up early enough I'll be in O'Malleys, ill introduce myself to any cobh fans I meet :cool:Quote:

And as A said, we're usually the loud ones, he's usually "Harping on" about the programme.
i think 1 of our main problems this season is suspensions,i think barrett would have run rings around there midfield if he wasn't suspended for that stupid (i'd almost say attack) on the limerick player..and with mucky out for the next match (which is probably the biggest match of the season) for his stupid hand ball even though it did stop the ball from going in we still ended up conceding..if we cut out the stupid things in the matches and keep playin proper football we should walk the league...
Your dead right supose if i wanted tp gp and couldnt id kick up a massive fuss, but im after sorting my own way up now, so dont give a ****.Quote:
