    To raise the spirits of Cork folk comes the news that Robbie Benson is ruled out of this weeks league match against Bohs and thus remains unlikely to be in the cup final line up.

    Yes I think I heard 50k is the new figure, almost sure this was announced by the FAI when finals moved to the Aviva. Previously, it was the clubs who took on the costs for the day and it would depend on the attendance if they made any money or in sometimes a loss ! Now the FAI guarantee 50k regardless of the attendance as they cover costs.

    I suppose this could work out at close to 300k if a club won it from outside the top 3, as they’d get a euro spot also for it, but when was the last club to do that in the Aviva, possibly Derry ? (edit, I just googled it, they won the cup in 2012), don’t think they finished top 3 that year though.

    Prob means McEleney will start CM instead of Number 10.

    Cork fans will be delighted as McEleney is not good enough they said numerous times

    100%. Always happy to see McEleney line up against us, especially in place of someone like Benson.

    McEleney has proven he's a cracking player overall, but he has never turned up against us. Its an advantage when he plays. We seem to be his bogey team for whatever reason. That may change at some point, but I certainly don't fear his name on the team sheet.

    I'd say they'll go through the roof in Cork now they know McEleney is playing.

    Seems very very quiet about it online anyway. I'm sure the buzz will build in the next week, but definitely not the chat about it that you'd want.

    I would agree McEleney hasn’t always turned up v Cork, but he’s a different player since the summer, his fitness and all round play has improved significantly. He also had a decent 60-70 mins in TC in the 1-0 win in late Sept. I`d fully expect him to line up alongside Shields in the middle for the final, with Murray / McGrath contesting the no 10 slot.

    I wouldn't read too much into that game in September. Dundalk played well but City didn't turn up at all. I thin confidence was shot to pieces at that point and over the last few seasons our performances have tended to drop off significantly once the title has been decided. I think after the Sligo game our performances against Bohs and Dundalk in particular can be explained at least in part by the belief that the league was over and the intensity dropped out of our performances.

    I expect we will perform with a much higher level of intensity in the cup final and there will be less space for the likes of McEleney to operate in. On the other hand, hes due a good performance against us so maybe this is the year he produces one.

    I think Dundalk are a better team than us at this point and will probably win the Final, but I think it will be competitive and we will keep it close enough that we have a punchers chance. We can usually limit Dundalk to very few goal chances and we then only need to take one or two of our chances to win. As good as Dundalk were in that game in September, and as bad as we were, we still only lost one nil.

    Agreed on the 1-0 scoreline and Cork restricting Dundalk to few chances, but at the same time it was as comfortable a win as Dundalk had in years against Cork, and not sure Rogers actually made a save?

    Cup Finals are all about who turns up on the day, Dundalk will be odds on to win, but I think we also were favs last year too and against the league champions, so odds will count for nothing.

    We had a run of 3/4 games where we had little or no chances. A terrible run of form which seems to be lifting a little. I think we'll be within 3.

    First game in Oriel you absolutely battered us (Bradley style) even though it was only a 1 nil. And when there's only even 1 goal in it, there's always a chance.

    But yeah, it needs to be a completely different level of performance.

    Am I better to wait to buy tickets on the day? I had a look at ticket master the other day and only tickets in the corner available. I presume there will be 20000 to 25000 there so maybe some areas of stadium won't be open.

    Just be careful buying on the day. I went up to the Ticketmaster van a few year ago and was told they only had premium tickets left even tho the stadium was empty!

    John Caulfield has a go at getting some petty verbals started......

    Cork City boss John Caulfield blasts Dundalk for signing players they ‘don’t really need’

    After he signed a rake of right backs maybe this is an area of expertise for him
