Up front against Flancare boys

**S�C** · 08/10/2001, 7:24 PM

With Skippy suspended and looks like Jimmy Mullers is gonna be out for a while we could see Steven O'Flynn and C. P. O'Brien up front, the future of Cork strike force, let us all hope that Hartigoal doesn't get to start, no offence but Flynn is better.

As for Morley, have City done anything about taking him on as a coach when he finishes playing? Pat was and is still one of the best strikers in the league, imagne what he could teach the Young Uns....

O'Flynn is still well out of favour. I doubt if he'll even be in the squad for Sunday.

Bless us all, but we could be in for a glimpse of the magical Hartigan and Caulfield on Sunday.

Personally, I'd throw in CPoB and TT for the day.

If I was to put money on the front two I'd say Hartican and Colin P, but nothing would surprise me!

IMO the pecking order 2 the moment is probably like this:

Mulligan
Morely
C P O'Brien
Hartigan
O'Flynn

Welsh & Tynan haven't played this season so they probably next in line?

how long is jimmy out for

**pete** · 09/10/2001, 4:02 PM

Looked like a sore challenge. Jamsie tracked back from the centre of the pitch & as he went in derry midfielder slide thru with both feet. IMO whilst it wasn'y a nasty challenge probably should have been a yellow card offense due to him using both feet

God help us is that idiot plays. I've heard some very interesting stories concerning steven o flynn, well one kinda interesting piece of info, which suggests he won't be involved for quite a while yet.

I hear Paul Bowdren is fit though. Even at his age, he is probably a better bet than our Noel.

Maybe there will be a return of his 451 formation! theres a thought.

**James** · 09/10/2001, 7:16 PM

4-5-1, why not its an attacking formation after all!

Neil what did you hear about Flynn

**A face** · 10/10/2001, 12:36 PM

nearly broke a guys leg last firday with a very hard tackle, the guys foot was barely hanging on as he was carried off the pitch, he didn't come out for the second half. He looked alright though but that was against Cob H U-21's.

Does Neil know something we don't know, c'mon ... spill the beans !!

from the Examiner...

...CP O�Brien has scored three goals for Cork in the last six matches when he has been used chiefly as substitute. He is likely to start the game on Sunday against Longford Town (2 pm) in the absence of regular strikers James Mulligan, who is injured, and Pat Morley, suspended.

John Caulfield and Stephen O�Flynn are also under consideration for a striking position alongside Noel Hartigan who is certain to start . Hartigan impressed when he came in as substitute against Derry City last Sunday.

Longford Town will not be able to play the player they signed from Cork, Greg O�Halloran, even though they will be weakened by injuries.
