Fixtures 11th September

Still trying to understand why Liam Buckley wouldn't give him a game.

meh while I do think he should never have been sold while we had no other striker available in general I do think that he is overrated as a footballer.

Kilduff was as bad for Pats as he was for Rovers. There's a grain of truth to Rovers not creating enough chances for him, but other strikers were given fewer opportunities and did more with them. He's started well at Dundalk, as he tends to, but I'd wait a bit longer before casting judgement.

Fits in perfect at Dundalk so, we only sign under and overrated players.

There's a lot more to come from Ciaran Kilduff, says Dundalk boss Stephen Kenny

Kilduff's done well enough for Dundalk so far, but he still has a lot to prove. Kenny has a good record (at Dundalk anyway) of getting the best out of players that other clubs dind't want.... Boyle Massey Meenan Towell Gartland Gannon O'Donnell McMillan (Arguably Hoban, Finn and Shields fit into this category too)

There might be some debate about Kenny getting the best out of Ronan Finn to date, but Chris Shields is probably the player who has made most improvement under his guidance. Hoban is right up there as well

Haven't been on-line much this week,have read through this thread and may have missed it - but what reason was given for the Cork fans who traveled to Derry being refused admission to the Brandy?

Refused admission? Sure they were locked out sure!

**Dunny** · 18/09/2015, 6:51 AM

Was some of our fans refused addmission to Cork (for being too ****ed/high on weed) earlier in the season. Some of them were on our bus.

Don't know how they picked the 4 or 5 lads that didnt get in, as there was lads in the ground that day asleep during the game and others not fit to stand.

Our stewards were sent up A4 sheets with photos of Cork ones who weren't to be allowed into the ground, apparently most of whom were 'corner boys', whoever they are. Came from the gardaí in Cork, based on advice from Cork City FC, I heard. Cork then denied they had anything to do with it. All very strange.
Either the gardaí are acting off their own bat and denying people entry into the Brandywell (and presumably other grounds in the coming weeks), Cork City FC wanted them denied in then lied about it, or someone involved with Cork City FC asked the gardaí to contact Derry City FC to have them denied entry.
I doubt the gardaí would start this themselves, it's not as if anyone in the Brandy is their problem. Think it's more likely Cork City, or someone involved with Cork City, took a dislike to these 'corner boys' and asked the gardaí to pass on the photos to ourselves.

There's a whole thread about in on the Cork City forum, but no-one seems to have a definitive culprit or reason for excluding these people.

Regardless, it's pretty poor form to allow fellas to travel the length of the country knowing they'll be turned at the gate.

Amazing stuff.

If this happened at Dundalk, there would be ructions. How it can happen at a "fan owned" club is hard to believe.

**Mr A** · 18/09/2015, 2:56 PM

It happens at most clubs at one stage or another. Sure I nearly got banned from Finn Park one time when accused of smashing a pub window in. Considering I was in the pub at the time smashing it inwards would have been an interesting feat! It was some local dispute with nothing to do with us but Chinese whispers and a few grudges conspired to morph it into something else.
