City 0 Longford 0

[niamh]

JOF has just been put on for Colin T.
0-0 yet though.

[thecorner]

2 PONTS DROPPED MORE THAN A POINT GAINED

could have put a bit of daylight between ourselves and pats who only drew with derry

at least flynny got a bit of time under his belt and hopfully a starter against rovers friday night

[Pablo]

we need to beat rovers now i think. we don't want to have to go to shels needing a win .

bad game bad weather bad crowd. enough said

[yiddo]

P*ss poor performance tonight. Looking forward to see what Dolan aka Comical Ali will have to say in tomorrow's Echo

[patsh]

Utter sh*te...
Can anyone explain this to me:
Colin T off
Conor off
5 mins to go K. Murray off..........
How does Dolan justify those changes?

I know it was good for Flynnie to get a run, but surely Murray should have been the first to go, followed by Kearney and Doyler.
We can't buy a goal but we were lucky that the other results went our way.
I can't really face yet another home draw on Friday......

BTW, have City players decided that set pieces from dead balls (free kicks, corners etc) are a waste of their time and it's better to just give the ball back to the opposition?

The only joy I got from tonight was finally shutting up that moaning b0ll0x who comes to the X purely to annoy me and shout obscenities at G O'C..

If he was suffering from Sars, had one leg and was wearing a blindfold, he was playing better than K. Murray !

Thats not true... if you win on Friday you'll be 8 points ahead of us but we have 7 games left...

[ccfc till i die]

"spillage" is noel spllane who writes in the echo heer in Cork. He is full of **** and is constantly making stuff up and giving retardded opinions.

Everything he says can be disregarded.

[dalo]

wasn't george brill though. what a player - he mightn't score, he mighn't be able to take free kicks, he might dive at every oppurtunity, actually in about 70 % of the games he might do very little that actual CENTRE FORWARD is supposed to do but hey let's moronically applaud when he passed the ball corectly. guys what is it that makes a lot ye of he see something that isn't there a lot of the time. seven goals? come on....... admit the inconsistency is awfully infuriating

jesus last night was awful stuff - let's see we have dropped points at home to waterford, derry, longford, shels (bad luck has nothing to do with it btw) and ucd and all pat can do is talk awful c**p on the programme and the media about the ref, the fai, the dublin conspiracy. couldn't he just drop kevin murray and ban behan form coming any where near turners cross?

now comes the rovers game. if we don't finsih third it will be a team and mangerial **** up of bayerleverkausen-esque proportions

I wasn't having a go at you, I was having a go at Spillane (I don't know him well enough to call him spillage)

[wws]

seems like something rotten in the camp?
hopefully you can pull through this bad patch and get back to playing the great football we all
know you can play
best of luck

[SÓC]

Naw all our players who are subed dont shout abuse at our Manager on the day of our biggest game of the year. Our team wouldnt ever just roll over and play dead for a cup final.

Our Manager doesnt have to take potshots at our former manager to keep the fans on side.

Our Manager doesnt blame everytime we lose on last years manager.

The only rotten thing I can smell is wafting from South Dublin City.

ooooh, catty!

relax, we actually played quite well last night away in derry and on the way back radio 1 were saying yee had a bad one and that the support wasnt best pleased - just making a legitimate point.


as for the managers excuses thing well come on dolan DOES have the monopoly on crap excuses for crap performances

[Gary]

What really irks me is even after we have played truly awful football in a truly awful game where we created nothing is that the players & co have the gall to come down to the shed for praise.

Last night wasnt the end of the world. yes, we were shít, but last season we would have los that game.

What also really pees me off is Coughlan. The guy is a walking disaster, and i hate when ppl turn around and say "oh sure he is a great header of the ball". Fúck off, so are all centre halves. Benno wasnt afraid to get his head in the way. But the added bonus with Bennet was that he was actually good. Good passing, good tackling, good tactical awareness etc.

K Murray. Sorry. Not the part at all.

If we dont win friday, its all over for another season.

[thecorner]

i actually missed last nite coz of work

sounds pretty bad reading some of the comments

finiding if hard to belive it wasd as abd as city vs u.c.d. 2 weeks

was it really that bad

[Ozymandias]

I actually think it was worse than UCD...we were completely inept with no vision or ideas

Set pieces are something of a hindrance to this team...we don't seem to think we need to practice them.....bit like the all blacks in 7's rugby refusing all kicks...just thru that comparison in because of the world cup....
