Standing over free-kicks, fussing over two yards at the halfway line for free kicks and throws. On positive note, I was told today that it was his last game in Tallaght before he retires. That'd be great news.

I hope that's true. The worst of a bad bunch.

Only awful because we made them look that way. We are a serious team.

Are you Declan Devine in disguise?

ooooh Serious, is it ?
ye mean, like cancer.
and tell me, would you say rhythm is a dancer ?

**dong** · 30/09/2012, 10:46 AM

Yes, serious.
As in, not a joke , unlike your own club.
This must be killing you deep inside.
At least you have a seven nil drubbing of a club bottom of the table to rejoice, long after your own league aspirations are over.
"league specialists"?
Not this year.

In fairness Derry were all over the place in defence last night. Derry were always a difficult team to play over the years and we have plenty of experience of coming out the wrong side of a bad scoreline with them in the past but this year they are a poor poor team in comparison. That said we were in good form last night and could have scored 6 or 7. Don't like to say it but it looks to be too much for Declan Devine. Would the Derry supporters take Kenny back and for that matter would the board consider him after he walked out on them saying "its time to go home"!!

Well they've lost a world class manager after all.

Match made in heaven they'd be mad not to take him back.

I don't think Kenny will be back. Don't confuse us wanting Devine to go with wanting King Kenny back just because he's now available. Hopefully both are plying their trade in the IL next season

I'd say the fans are split down the middle with regards to Kenny.

A 5-0 win for the Saints tonight with Vinny Faherty getting a hat trick. Delighted the result considering the starting players we were missing, Chambers, Bolger, Fagan, Soccy, Russell and our captain Conor Kenna. That win should be enough to ensure we qualify for Europe next season through a league position.

more importantly it guarantees Sligo don't get to lift the trophy in Turners Cross this week. Couldn't hack that at all

They hardly would have anyway but if there was the possibility it might have added a few to the gate.

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 02/10/2012, 12:16 PM

Certainly won't be as many travelling now after last nights results

It does mean they can win it against us in the Showgrounds on Saturday week now, unless Cork can do us a favour.

**El-Pietro** · 02/10/2012, 1:45 PM

ideal scenario, we beat Sligo to screw up their chances, then we beat Pats on the last day to take the title from them and hand it back to Sligo.

I've been looking at the table the last few weeks trying to figure out who I wouldn't mind winning the league and I can't choose any of the clubs above us, so the best case scenario is to play spoiler. I guess I just don't like football teams not called Cork City

I guess I want St. Pats to win it the least, so theres that, and then Drogs would be a close second, so as much as a I dislike Sligo they don't register as high on my list as the others

So yo didn't like Cork For a Scoop?

**El-Pietro** · 02/10/2012, 2:53 PM

I said don't, in the present tense... or some other handy excuse

All that matters is that City win as many matches as possible between now and the end of the season.
It would be great to beat Sligo though considering we threw away a 2 goal lead up there the last day but the fact that we haven't played in 2 weeks might hamper us.

Dundalk essentially consigned to finishing last tonight. Losing 2-0 to Derry. If it stays that way they are 9 pts adrift with 3 games left and a far inferior goal difference.
