well folks,

I was looking at an old Longford Town Cork City match programme from 2004 and I saw a certain Brian McCarthy in the Cork City panel. Is that the same Brian McCarthy that plays for us and ex Cobh Ramblers and Athlone Town?

Not too sure,according to extratime.ie , he graduated from Athlone's academy in 2006 no mention of him playing for City even though i do recall a Brian Mc Carthy playing for us .

It was a different Brian McCarthy, he played as a striker.

I know the Brian McCarthy thats playing for us this season was born in Cork but I never heard of him at Cork City before.. Wheres Ash when you need him? Hes Brian McCarthys biggest fan!!

The family moved up to Athlone when he was 14 or 15 or something if I remember rightly from the Athlone folk on here. He played with them for a few years underage and with the first team. I think he's only 21 or so now.

i think you will find that there is a brian McCarthy playing with msl side rockmount who was on cork citys books a few years back

Brian never played with Cork City. He played underage with us before going to Bohemians

**rambler14** · 25/09/2009, 4:21 PM

They both played for Ramblers and they are both sh!te.

The Brian McCarthy now at Longford being the worst of the two.....absolute crap and in the time he was at Ramblers got them relegated by himself.

How bad are the rest of your squad???

He was by far the WORST player I have ever seen in a Cobh shirt

McCarthy is one of our best players from a squad thats not as good as a few years ago .. theres a few bad apples in the squad that wont be there next season..

he wasnt very good for us at the start of the season seemed very nervous and lacked composure bt he has grown in confidence immensly as the season has progressed i think he is a much improved player

**marty** · 01/10/2009, 7:07 PM

Yeah both played for Cobh,one of them I think hails from midleton (small village outside Cobh) the other was in someway linked to Bohs and Athlone--have to agree one if not both of them were utterly dire

I thought he was excellent in both of the cup games against us last month.
