True. But as a fan the number 1 motivation should be to win trophies regardless of the prize money. The FAI Cup has been an important part of Irish football competition for a hell of a lot longer than that other cup.

Anyway, if the awful smell of TurnersX attracts roughly 6,000 fans every game, and by your admittance Tolka only attracts 1,000, then where is all that money going. We can all see where Shels are putting theirs.

IFK Gothenburg (UEFA Cup winners 1981 & 1987)
Malmo FF x2 (European Cup Finalist 1979)
NEC Nijmegen
CSKA Kiev

If you put it that way I feel obliged to remind you of our away 0-0 draw with Deportivo, finalists in the past few years.

From UEFA.com

Shelbourne total European record

........AP.P..W.D..L..GF.GA
Total 16 40 3 11 26 31 75

Cork City total European record
........AP.P..W.D.L..GF.GA
Total 10 28 6 6 16 17 40

We can all put 11 men behind a ball, its winning games that counts!

Beating them in that FAI cup replay in Tolka in 2003 was ****ing unbelievable

Beating teams is all that counts?

You should have a quick look at the structure of UEFA's competitions and the rules involved. Apparently you can go through on this new idea of away goals.

Winning 1-0 at home and getting stuffed 3-0 away will not help you ....
Winning games is not all that counts.

Also your European run doesnt come close to that of Shels last season no matter how many games you won.

A. It was in UEFA's 3rd competition

B. It was against inferior opposition

C. It done nothing to improve the countries coefficient (VERY IMPORTANT IF WE ARE TO PROGRESS AS A LEAGUE)

Semi finalists actually

Dunno about Shells but Cuttlefish - yeah baby - you know you like it

**Stevo Da Gull** · 29/03/2005, 5:38 PM

Both Cork and Shels can can very proud of they're European exploits last year, now lets follow them up with something even better eh

.

Just for the record IMO

League
Setanta
FAI
LC

The Setanta Cup for me decides the champions of all 32 counties- the all-ireland winners or whatever else you want to call it. The reason I have the league ahead of it is because you need it to qualify for Europe and the Setanta. The bonus of qualifying for the Setanta through the FAIcup makes it (FAIcup) even more lucrative. The League Cup is streets behind but the prize money is handy not to mention a trophy for your clubs cabinet and medal for the players.

gobsheen at best of times he is,i won't doubt that but he's got the best interest of club at heart,which is suprising rare(old cork city board step forward)and he gives and does all he possible can to help the club.

**Slash/ED** · 29/03/2005, 10:55 PM

This thread alone is about the biggest single compliment you could possibley pay to a club. I love it.

**daveh** · 29/03/2005, 11:04 PM

Inferior opposition!!!Malmo won the swedish league this year and we beat them 4-1,an away win aswell.Nijmegan were poor enough alright, but at least they're playing against the likes of Ajax,PSV and Feyenord,and how you can call Nantes inferior is beyond me!!
