If you don't win that, you don't deserve to go up. With all due respect to AT fans on here, they are shocking. They made Waterford United look top drawer, so make of that what you will. The following Friday will tell you more about your lads.

Game against Pats? Won't tell us much!

If you meant the Mons game, that's not til the 4th of October now.

Monaghan are making it tough for the two Munster clubs looking to get promoted. It'll be a big game down in Cork next week.

Once again, the game against Monaghan is not until the 4th of October.

I imagine it's the same time as usual, on the usual Friday night.

Next Friday is the 16th so I'd say it's that night.....the same night we may or may not be playing Shels in the League or maybe even the cup.

**legendz** · 10/09/2011, 8:04 PM

Oh yeah, the Cup. Big night for Cork in fairness. Live game on TV and all. After all that's gone on, a high profile game like that will be a good one for them to win but I think it'll be Pat's.

Least important game that's left this season for us really. Obviously winning would be nice, but lowest priority.

6-0 up against Athlone, great for the goal difference!

Athlone Town 0-7 Cork City FT
Derek with 2, Davin, Duggan, Duffer, Danny and Vinny

Cummins came off at half time, hope he ain't injured.

I know what you mean but in fairness a win there and the kudos is important as well after the last few years.

Think Pats will mean business coming down Friday night as they are intent on winning the FAI cup this year.
Our prioritys win or lose lie elsewhere in the form of promotion .

Shels have Limerick at home the weekend, gonna be a tough one. Even though every non-Shels fan thinks we're a cert now it makes me more nervous that it looks so good at the moment. Fear all these game. We lose this one and I'm sure some of us will start to brick. We get past this test with three points and I'll even start to thnik myself it's a cert.

Erm, you're 9 points clear of second, with only 21 points left available; you have to play your top three rivals yet, but you are at home for all of those games; those same rivals also have games against each other; your three away games are all against teams playing terribly - and I mean terribly; and all in the context of only having dropped ten points all season long.

I think you can afford to be a little more bullish.

Not to get promoted would require a collapse the like of which I have never seen*.

* That's not quite true. For those of a certain age and persuausion, you might recall that the England cricket team of the early to mid-'80s might have conjured up such a collapse.

Its definitely swingers on the line time for the teams chasing promotion

I know but we're actually better away from home (I think) this season against the 'better' teams, so the fact we're at home means little. Not sure why but still a bit nervous. I just think what if those games go against us and then we might panic. I'm in the airport every Friday evening flying home to Ireland, always the same watching it on livescore and Shelsweb on the internet in the airport, it's murder not seeing what's going on! I'll start to relax if we get a result Friday
