2-2
A good result . Pity we left in a late one.
A point's a point i guess, but 88th minuet and another penalty in the one game.
COME ON GOD, SHOW SOME MERCY!
It would have been better had we got the late equaliser though. Pity that we leave so much go late on isnt it, esp against Shels.Originally Posted by Neil
There was a late goal tonight
There was a late equaliser in the midweek fixture last season to make it 1-1, and if Im not mistaken it was Morgan then as well.
And there was Flynns late peno miss (which will never be spoken of again) against them last season as well.
Dolan getting rough treatment from Shelbournes fan. Stuff being thrown at him etc. Idiots. Security doing nada about it.
Apparently we can have no complaints this time. Silly tackle from Benno Im told.
A shocking game from Greg?????

If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
A point is not too shabby,
but why can't we hang on to a lead....
dolan hit by an object from the crowd
will have to wait for the lads to get back from beruit for confirmation
suppose we would have taken a pont at the start of the night
Oily Byrne?
just back from the game and absolutely disgusted
Two excellent finishes cancelled out by two defensive blunders.
We started brightly and deserved the lead, then we backed off and invited them onto us. Benno brought Fitzpatrick down, cast iron penalty, don't know what was going through his head.
We started the second half well, but defended way too deep throughout, Fenn scored a beauty, then we backed off and invited them onto us, two minutes from time, instead of hoofing over the stand, greg kicked the ball straight up in the air and lost possession to Fitzpatrick, who squared to Morgan for two-two.
Both John O'Flynn and Jason Byrne went off injured, looked like a thigh strain for Flynny
Trying to be as objective as I can it was probably a fair result, Devine was the busier keeper, but we should never have lost the lead twice.
As for the off the field antics, from where I was it appeared that Dolan was pushed and then hit by an object as he walked off at half time. At the end of the game he was on his way over to the fans and a kid of about nine (who has been escorted away from our section by a garda in the first half) threw a bottle slap into his face from about two feet away, the ineffective stewards let him run out of the ground without so much as a challenge.
Having said that, an 'official looking bloke' was talking to Danny M after and it looked like he was taking a statement, so hopefully they're fined.
the referee was poor although in the end we have only ourselves to blame, we looked scared of Shels for long periods even though i think we were the better team, the back four defended was too deep, Dan Murray was atrocious and midfield never got tight enough.
Bright points were
Danny Murphy (extend that lad's contract now)
Kevin Doyle coming back
CCFC fans, credit to all that turned out on a Tuesday night, well done
we're now ten unbeaten, but a win friday is now essential
On tonight's evidence, no team should have anything to fear from Shels

Great report Tiktok.
Couple of questions for ya.
- How did Doyler play?
- Desperate to hear Flynny went off injured again. Ho wserious did it look? Was he walking alright? How about Friday vs Derry - do you think he'll be available ( just when he was starting to find form again - $hit )?
- The icident with Dolan and the bottle throw into his face - how bad was that? Saw Danny Murphy get hit by a little SPA runt atthe match in Inchacore earlier in the season. Are these Dublin teams going to continue to get away withthis type of violence ALL SEASON ( Rovers - SPA - and now $hell$ )? If it was us we'd be fined an arm and a leg.
- How did Fenn play overall?
Irish by birth,
Cork by the grace of God.
I suppose we would have taken a point at the start of the night, but we were winning with a few minutes left
On a brighter note, flynny and Fenn scoring. Hope Flynn isn't badly injured.
We're still unbeaten in 10 now. 13 in all competitions.
Shels are beatable and there is a long way to go yet.
- Doyler never really got going, don't think he would have been used if Flynny hadn't needed attention
- about five minutes before the substitution he was brought to the sideline and got strapping on his thigh, obviously it didn't do the job. He was walking 'gingerly' as they say, hard to tell, but first impression is that friday will come too soon to risk adding to the injury, hopefully it was just a bit of a dead leg.
-at the risk of melodrama, worst I've seen at an EL game, the age of the kid is irrelevant, Dolan got hit hard by a full bottle in the face and it obviously hurt him
-answered on the Fenn thread, but while a few negative comments were thrown (a few quite rightly), I thought he played well overall, covered a lot of ground, and scored a cracker

just saw a post on Corkcityfootie that it was a water baloon and not a plastic bottle that Dolan was hit with.
Not sure if this is the case, but even though it might have hurt less, it's still a disgrace that anyone can run across the field and launch an object into the face of an opposing team's manager.

Something like this should not be allowed happen weather it was a water baloon or a bottle is irrelevent, it's a complete disgrace. For Gods sake you can't even get into Turners Cross with the tops of bottles. I hope Shels a re given a hefty fine, I know if it was reversed Cork City would.

Thrown at anyone else - the water balloon would've been a disgrace - but at D***n, it was fúckin hillarious! Anyway, it all started with some scumbag in a Village jersey throwing one at us and leaving the rest of his water balloons in the jacks, hence how the youngfellas got hold of them, so if you think Shels should be fined then I'm sure, in the interest of justice, you lot should be fined aswell.
I love cheatin'; it wasn't over the line!
I think the point of the matter here is that the manager of the team was HIT by a "missile". Regardless of what was thrown at him, the fact anything at all managed to hit him is an absolute disgrace. It's lucky in a way it was "only" a water balloon. The scenario could have been so much worse if it had been some nutcase with something else in his hand.
Dolan was pelted with more than water balloons at half time...bottles oranges etc...the kid at the end of the match was actually caught by a guy in a suit who ran quicker than ben johnson to the corner of the ground and just got him at the gate
the game was good...poor home crowd...good away support for a tuesday night and all sang
Greg was p1ss poor
dan murray was all over the shop
benno had no need to tackle for the eno but other than that had a fine game
Cockney rebel was man of the match
george was george played and battled well
Nwanko ran his legs off looked hgood but tucked into the centre to often leaving gaps on the right of midfield for the two dans to try and cover
we saw the god and bad of fenn...brilliant touches super finish for the goal but pulled out of to many 50:50 challenges...shels second came as a result of fenn giving the ball away outside their 18 yard box when he had two men outside him...tried to nutmeg the defender but got caught..the possession led to the goal but that been said greg should have cleared it
shels hadn't a sniff at goal in the first half and it was sick to see the penalty go in
we were very deep second half and shels were on top
overall I think we deserved to win but they are the breaks
Was talking to Stephen kenny at the game he said nCork looked stronger and a better footballing side than shels but shels are better organised...bang on to
overall it was a good performance from the team and I now believe we can catch shels if we get consistency in our play
Bring back the plank
before the game, i would have said a draw would have been a good result, but i was sick coming out the ground last night, absolutely gutted. some random opinions then.
- danny murphy was phenomenal last night, had a stormer.
- did dan murray sign for shels when i wasn't looking? cos this was his second straight stinker against them, he was brutal.
- both city goals were excellent strikes, especially fenns (in off the post). though he missed 2 one-on-one chances, thought he played well overall and he looked delighted himself with the goal.
- good to see kev back, he got the assist on fenns goal.
- what benno was thinking for the penalty i don't know. thought he did well apart from that, but honestly, what was he doing diving in? it looked like the ball was about to run out for a goal kick to city if he'd left it, and there certainly didn't seem to be any immediate danger.
- nwankwu played well but, for the second straight game, looked absolutely beat after about 60 minutes. he might be due for a rest. i thought kearney could have been brought on a little earlier.
- city were a bit too content to drop deep and invite shels onto them, as has been the way for the last 2 years or so. someone to hold the ball in midfield and control the tempo of the game would be sweet.
- who knew billy could still run! showed flashes of past magic last night.
