City at times showed their class, Ive said it before and ill say it again, Joe Gamble is the best player in the league, hes a joy to watch, City showed their class at times but they never really scared us bar georgies two shots. Devine for all his nerves showed he is a top top class keeper that save was unbelievable, hes also class. Great crowd too.

Bilko made two absolutely class saves from georgie coming to the end

Anyway, fair result IMO. City looked more competent on the ball, but Ramblers the more likely to score. I really don't think any side did enough to win the game.

He is IMO was pure class again last night overran us

One moment stands out for me in the game:
When the Cork City fans had their flares taken off them by security and the security guard who took the flares threw the flares on the ground only for them to bounce onto the big Cork City flags and set them on fire.

Joe gamble can control any game from start to finish. fair enough he didnt do a whole lot last nite but he'd walk into any team in ireland. good result considering there wasnt many chances and both teams played fairly poor. Great to get the real local derby back!!

The 1630 train to Cobh is now a bus
"For people wishing to board the 1630 train to Cobh, your train is now a bus" came the call at 1629 at Kent Station.

Not long after some of us were on our way to Cobh (is queenstown even a term of abuse anymore?), while others had to wait til 5.

A stroll up from the train station to the square and the most enjoyable part of a abysmal evening was to be had in the Lusitania. "Cork Celtic here today, Cheaper than yesterday." was a tuneless chant sung by a local. Anybody know what he was on about?. Another local decided to stand up for her territory as Ronaldo put United one up on the box with a beautiful goal. "Lalalala, you're like ****ing tellytubbies. Get some words in your songs at least."

Next stop - Food. Then greeted by a mong who tells be Georgie should be sent to the Koreans. Anybody get it? No?

(A hell of a walk to the ground isn't it? That is some hill.)

The game itself was dire. I've mentioned it before and I'll echo my sentiments again. George O'Callaghan is a top player, he's not a winger and is only effective in the middle hence why he had our two best chances in the last few minutes when he moved in to the middle. The problem lies with dropping Healy who has played well n the last 3 games. Healy is quite similar to Gamble and I'd rather pay Gamble than Healy. Pat Sullivan can play right midfield (he told me once upon a time it was his favourite position last week) so why not drop Healy and provide more balance in midfield?

Mooney was a embarrassment for the club last night after his diving exploits. He showed no effort at all. O 'Flynn is not up to it. Behan is just Behan. Maybe move Georgie up front with Mooney?

I berated Lordan last week but he was much improved last night. The back four are just the back four! It's the rest that needs sorting. The quality is there but the balance is not. Matthews will be under pressure unless we win the next few games and it's a necessity that he sorts out the team.

It's a pity that at the closer away games all the mongs go. Much prefer going to games that are miles away, where the abuse is non existent and the creche don't travel. Some of our fans are an embarrassment. One knob in particular deserves a description. He must of been 16 at most. This is the knob who held a flare and then lit another one straight after. Why bother in a fire hazard tin shed when the games is a dire 0-0? He decided to chant part time *******s before hand. I guess the new breed weren't supporting us when we were part time, he probably didn't even realise part time outfits outnumber full timers in the league.

Another "top green" next to me decided to shout abuse at Georgie for coming home from Ipswich. Then Devine for his poor kicking. Gamble received a barrage of abuse in the second half for dribbling past half a dozen Cobh players. The worst was reserved for Farrelly, the ultimate creative player. He might not be the fittest but he can control the play superbly. "would you like some fries with that Gareth". The moron then proceeded to shout abuse at Matthews "Do you want us to win at all with the fat ******* on the pitch"
You fan are an embarrassment

My opinion from last night. http://www.ordinaryloaf.blogspot.com

The idiots who don't know how to use them are taking them off of those that can. Yes they're illegal, but giving the idiots authority multiplies the danger.

It's actually on youtube. One clown got two taken off him and the camera moves down to his pocket and he takes out another.

**ramsfan** · 30/03/2008, 5:25 PM

he was over my shoulder for the first half and him and mojo were knocking out all the football analogies they could lay there hands on , it was like standing next to lawro and hansen

where did you go for the second half?

**ramsfan** · 30/03/2008, 5:29 PM

it was along walk from top to toilets with a full tank , so i ended up on the northbank for the second half

**depor** · 30/03/2008, 5:33 PM

excuses, excuses, blaming the pitch. if the pitch was so bad why would ya play it across your box. the fact is that the ref said after the pitch inspection that the pitch was in good condition.

alan mathews has gone up in my opinion as he blatently refused to blame the pitch. murray was like a rock in defence, everyone in the team played very well.

city didnt have any clear cut chances.
