Well, to Limerick fans, it probably is like their Champions League.
Was it that Liam Kearney scored and they didn't know whether to credit him with 2 or 1?Quote:

Cork are playing Sunday in the league.Quote:

Given our average attendance is circa 3000, it'd have to be 90% United fans :eek: I think people just weren't arsed. With season ticket sales up this year I know some people, including myself, will have been thinking "€15, for what?".Quote:

As I've said repeatedly before, attendances to the League cup and to the Setanta Cup will continue to fall until something is done about both of them, preferably an All-Ireland League Cup.
booo hisssss! Cork for us was never a big darby or even thought about as a big game. Now back in the day Waterford, Sligo, Rovers etc there big games and always will be for us. Less of the slagging too can you remind me of when we last met? :ball:Quote:

We couldn't drop the price as its an FAI competition with divided gate receipts and the FAI set the prices.Quote:

As I said, merging the Setanta and League Cups in the north and south would give some meaning to it. Setanta wouldn't have to broadcast the early rounds but it would throw up some interesting draws.Quote:

Did Limerick use up their 5% allocation BTW??
Who cares, we're a first division side playing away on a weekday in the league cup, not sure it matters if we did or we didn't. But for a club with aspirations like Cork City have pulling in a Monaghanesque attendence it just isn't good enough.Quote:

Bad planning and management and the usual apathy towards the league cup. Not a surprise to anyone.
I had a laugh anyway...
Competitive? I wouldn't have called it that :pQuote:

Mick Devine is a good guy.Quote:
Mick Devine's first concession to joining in with some dancing
We were in the St.Annes and during the first half at one stage one of the girls walked down to the wall to take a picture of the ground.
One of the lads shouted at Mick Devine: "Have some f***in manners Devine, the girl is taking a picture and you've your back to her."
Mick responded by turning around and posing for the picture.* :D
*This should also give people a fair indictation of the way the game was going. :o
Damn lousy form from the Corkies, playing all those good players. :p
