I think at this stage we are all searching to see who got their predictions correct... certainly not me anyway.

What a kick in the teeth

Blame your manager hes the most negative manager in the history of league of ireland football, I like Cork but hes going to make a mess of Cork City FC

Anyone think we should have kept Matthews? It would have cost less and we'd be on three points now (1-1 draws in all of them, conceding in the final minute)

We know only too well. Depressing stuff. Probably can't afford to sack him though.

Yes you should have kept him

I think Mathews is more defensive tbh, but what about Bray, three draws in first three matches. At least they had a go tonight.

It's funny now that I think of it, going to the match last week the front cover of City Edition showed Doolin saying "Results earn Respect". We have got anything but results so far, so don't be too angry if people are disrespectful to us

**gufc2000** · 20/03/2009, 9:08 PM

At least we are still top. Looks like Fozzie bottled it a bit with subs, but 'In Fozzy we trust'. He's young and still learinng and here's hoping we can hit double figures against Sligo next week

I fancy ye to beat Sligo next week. I don't expect that Sligo will be as good this year.

Eh... unfortunately it's Bray.

**Aaron** · 20/03/2009, 9:13 PM

Derry match was **** poor up until the 90th min. Aaron Nash, a local came on and scored the winner for us. Unreal!! Poor game but atm results all that matter

**Umberside** · 20/03/2009, 9:18 PM

I enjoyed 20 mins of it, if you know what part then fair play.

**superfrank** · 20/03/2009, 9:23 PM

Crazy last five mins at the Carlisle.

Fair play to Ryan though. McCabe's first peno was in bottom right and the second one went that way but Ryan guessed right and saved it.

Mathews may be defensive in a football sense though I thought he wasn't bad with Cork last year personally from what I saw of ye, but he's not as outwardly miserable and put upon as Doolin always seems to be which can translate to your players. Doolin wouldn't strike me as a man to rally the troops when things aren't going your way.

**sligoman** · 20/03/2009, 9:33 PM

Looking forward to Doolin's excuse on MNS this week. Trying to blame it on last season was funny

Exactly. "It's a habit from last season which we need to sort out"

Poor stuff, trying to absolve himself of any blame.

I had a few quid on this so I'm happy Derry won. Must've been a great moment when the winner went in.

I couldn't stand listening to Mathews doing an interview.
