meant to ask was Josh O Hanlon even included on the subs bench for Cork? RTE didnt show a list of subs before the cup final...

Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
No he wasn't, he was at the game though..

Was great to see the 2 managers at FT react warmly to each other. Fair play to Caulfield as he was straight over to Kenny which Im sure wasnt easy. It would be a harder final to lose than previous ones as Cork played so well. It was Sheppard who was particularly gutted, the way he snatched the r-up medal from the Daily Mail rep was a tad rude if understandable. It hasnt really been mentioned by Massey could have beeen given a red card imo for the way he kicked the ball/Sheppard at the end, I dont think he was booked at all for it. I think he might have been in trouble if Gartland hadnt taken some of the attention away by getting involved. Shields was treading a fine line on a couple of occasions but ironically the tackle on Sheppard he did get booked for was a 50 50 and they both colided with studs up.
There seems to be a general cooling in such a heated rivalry. It was a genuine pleasure to chat with Cork fans throughout the day. Losing on penalties wasnt easy last season or a scuffed shot in extra time ye just have to accept those things but yesterday I'd have been completely gutted if we had lost so in that regard the Cork fans around us, and we were well outnumbered in that section, were incredibly gracious in defeat with hand shakes and offering congratulations.
On the way Cork played in general it was far less conservative than previous games over the season and previous finals, I feel that if Cork had played on the front foot like that during other games this season the title race would have been very nip and tuck right to the end. McNamee's body language when coming on looked poor - Caulfield had his arm around him as he was giving instructions and he was pulling away.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
He got a good hand on the ball just not strong enough or there was a lot of power in the header. Either way Im not complaining and McEleney himself was saying that heading the ball isnt his strong point if he had missed it by placing it to close to the keeper. I think Rogers should have done better for the penalty.
Agree with Geysir,it was unstoppable - McEleney caught it right on the meat of his magnificent bonce![]()
Great day out at Lansdowne yesterday,specially if you were Dundalk supporter- but really was a trmendous atmosphere,excellent match & attendance and both sets of supporters made the day.Getting the business in 90mins an extra bonus.
Hard luck Cork.

Ah yes, after calling up each sham player and each official to collect their medal he “realized” he had lost the Bohs team sheet ? The one supplied to him before kick off ?
And that’s what you expect people to believe ?
Scumbag classless club, I blame the lack of history 😎 you can’t buy class (or history)
If you honestly think anyone at Rovers could give a continental about calling out 18 year old kids names you need to get a new tinfoil hat. The truth is never as attractive as the conspiracy theory but 99 times out of 100 is right.
I think with all the carry on at bohs this year at underage not to mention your recent jersey saga you'd be better off not calling other clubs classless.
You get a certain type of keyboard warrior at the bozos.
They had their greatest season in years by finishing 6th/7th/whatever and got to a cup semi. Wow...
That seemingly gives them the bravado to inhabit this forum with gusto.
If it's a pat on the head you want I'll gladly supply it.
But don't for a second believe anyone even remotely near the top 3/4 teams even remotely take your club seriously.
Your team will sell its wares and players to the highest bidder every single season, because that is what your club amounts to. Like a manky tramp brasser on Dorset st.
Good man PC. Is that the voice of regretted experience re the delights of Dorset Street?
Congratulations to Dundalk on a great double season.
Hard to take being second in both competitions but that's football.
Roll on next season.
The hope for the project is to fill the first team with players whose lifes ambition is to play for Rovers (the exceptional ones will always go away but hopefully a bit later and with an education) and to provide facilities that gives them the best chance of doing that.
As for the taking seriously part on he pitch anyone who doesn't take any team seriously is deluded, its been a shocking year for us against Bohs but **** happens, it could easily be the other way around next season.
Why are we discussing Rovers in the FAI Cup thread? Theres already plenty of threads for Bohs and Rovers bickering. This is the thread for Dundalk and Cork City bickering.
