FAI Cup 2013

CORK 3-1 KUFC

Cork deservedly won on Monday in front of a sparse crowd of 541(approx 80 away).Cork scored after 52 seconds and I thought we were going to be hammered but we dug in and kept it at 0-1 ht.Danny Morrissey score the 2nd and his 2nd on 55 mins and that deflated KUFC but they never gave up.Garry Buckley scored the 3rd shortly after and I feared the worst but we got a goal back thru James English and went in search of another.We had only 1 real chance and didnt take it and Cork just saw the game out effortlessly from then on.It was a great experience for us but as I said earlier it came a bit early in our season after last seasons epic late run ins.
Very disapointed with only a 1 page programme costing a euro but was told the WBA game was more important and there was financial problems so it wasnt viable.
Best of luck to Cork in the next round away to Sligo!

Bluebell have given up home advantage for the Derry game.

Game is fixed for the Brandywell.

Ended an embarrassing 0-0 there. Very poor result for Derry, especially after having been awarded home advantage, and continues a pretty dire run of form.

What happens for the replay now, venue?

**MeathDrog** · 23/08/2013, 9:19 PM

Some sickener for Finn Harps to concede in the last minute v Cobh. Long trek for the replay.

**Longfordian** · 23/08/2013, 9:31 PM

Had the hoors in my (fairly small) double with Shels.

We're a joke of a football club.

Is this pre-season for Bluebell? Has their league started?

Wedding ruined. Call it off Brendy.

Couldn't have had any complaints if we were beaten. It was surreal watching that - like a parallel universe Derry team took the field, a Derry team who play junior football, as opposed to one fourth in the league.

With the exception of Trabzonspor, we haven't turned up for a game since early June.

great game in oriel tonight although our defending was terrible at times. duno why but about 15 idiots from limerick tried to cause trouble in the second half. tried to walk their way into the home section and then had about 5 stewards and 6 cops around them trying to escort them back over to the away section. duno what the hell they were at. same group also arrived about 15 mins late.

They were probably looking for a toilet or somewhere to get a cup of tea....

In all fairness to them they were only going behind the goals to watch the game, there was no arm waving or mock rushing or pavement dancing. Why they were allowed behind the goals is an issue for Dundalk stewards and gardai (of which there appeared to be one for every Limerick fan!)

Their bus got lost hardly that big of a deal is it.

well they did something why else why else would aload of guards be called over. plus when the little runts started to come over they were waving their arms and shouting muck towards the Dundalk fans so yes they were looking to start something.

I wasn't there but it seems a good lot of fans complaining that their was no toilet facilities for the away fans in oriel so they ended up having to go behind them against the walls. Was that cabin with the toilets not there like the last time?

**nigel-harps1954** · 24/08/2013, 9:11 AM

Felt physically sick coming away from Finn park last night. Should have been about 5-0 at half time. Story of our season summed up in one game

Two Portabable loos still there in the away section. Away stand fans have access to 2 proper toliets in the bars, but agree as ever the away terrace section is rubbish, just as well its only a tenner in. Maybe it was the fans who ended up in the wrong area and couldnt find the ground toilets.

Still in there Nigel. Still in the hat. It's been a while since we progressed. When is the next round drawn then? Replay before the draw or not?

When they finished their marauding rampage there was only a fence, twenty five yards of open ground and another fence seperating them from the Dundalk fans.

Personally if I was looking to start trouble I'd pick on the stand right next to me rather than walking until I reached behind the goals and then staying there.

Some of them are little idiots who enjoy being a nuisance to stewards. Disingenuous in the extreme to suggest they were trying to cause trouble with the dundalk fans.

Any idea why your stewards allowed them to move into an area they apparently shouldnt be in??

There were no toilets in the away section last night.

The "ah shur its only a tenner" argument is a microcosm of whats wrong with irish football.

It's a tenner onto the terrace in Thomond Park too and its not a disgusting ****hole.
