Not a chance in hell that was a goal .... that ref gave us nothing (barr two f�ck ups on his behalf for a corner and line ball)

Rogers ..... studs shown is a yellow ...... when the leg is left there to try and take a guys head off is a straight red.

At least we know Shels aren't able to win without something like that going in their favour. Filth !!

Ref was appauling for entire match, but it was the linesman who signalled it had gone over.

**A face** · 02/05/2005, 10:29 PM

Rogers left his studs show so he could do malicious damage to one of our players. He wasn�t the only one either. Shels are taking the complete p�ss with this sort of play, it is gone beyond having a decision go in your favour. It is dangerous and sinister. I could be wrong, I�d need to see the footage again was Georgie tackled tonight with the intention of injuring him for a few games. I certainly seemed that way with some of the tackles the Heary made on Kearney.

Ref was appauling

so were Shels.

I'm going to need to take some tranquilers for the next forever, because I am not fully over the last batch of "We were cheated cos we lost" for the Corkies. I have the tape of the game and I'll have a look. If it was over the line,cool, if not, its a bit of a sickner for ye alright. But I doubt I could feel bad for Cork cos your going to complain enough to wish we didnt score probably. Waiting for the backlash....

By the way your timewasting in the first half was a disgrace

**A face** · 02/05/2005, 10:48 PM

Shels are filth.

**EnDai** · 02/05/2005, 10:55 PM

Nice to see the level of your maturity, are you 12 by any chance? I post agreeing with the opinions of the referee being crap, and you turn around with petty crap. Well done to you sir, round of applause. How, out of interest, were Shels appauling? They played the better football, and we'll never know if that was a goal or not, but the officials gave it. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, you should know yourself from the GOC incident the ref can make a bad decision, hell, look at the ManU-Spurs game from this year. Cork played for a draw, and it backfired. TOUGH F�CKING COOKIE!

According to a guy I spoke to afterwards, someone who was better positionned than me (I was in the main Shels stand, so other end of the pitch) the ball did cross the line. I do not dare to judge, impossible from behind the goal on the other side, the linesman seemed quite sure though.

And now let's hope Shels reaches the finals, I'm afraid though Portadown won't be too motivated anymore... N.Ireland league is over, and they cannot reach the final anyway. Still... Come on Ports !!

Shame about lack of decent camera coverage!

Gareth..you can look at the tape 1,000 times and you still will not know whether it crossed the line or not..without a camera in the goal or close behind we will never know..being honest i thought it looked very suspect..i dont blame Shels for this..the battle with Heary and Kearney was fair in my view..Heary put in some strong challenges but what defender doesnt when you know you are playing against a good player..there was a good atmosphere and it was by no means a dirty game..the rivalry between our clubs is growing and is enjoyable..there are some people on here need to open there eyes and look at the whole picture..sometimes i feel people on here expect Shels to not even to tackle us..lads chill out and hopefully we can stuff an average Portadown in the final match...

The anti-Cork conspiracy continues - where will it end?

**Gareth** · 02/05/2005, 11:11 PM

RedX I thought it was a lively game, expect for the 20 minutes of the first half. a good even contest that I thought at times Shels had a chance or two more. Kearney was very good and had Owen for a bit but Owen came back with some good tackles. I did think Devine time watsed a good deal in teh first half. Apart from that, I didnt think it dirty???? I just hate having to deal with th eimagnary influcence some corkies think shels have over the universe!!

**Gerrit** · 02/05/2005, 11:16 PM

Decent TV coverage would be expected in a tournament organised by a TV station specialised in sports

I think to avoid discussions such as this, we don't have to look very far. In icehockey there have been infrared softwares attached to the goal posts for years, they offer you 100% certainty on weither the ball (or in icehockey case: puck) crossed the line or not. This would avoid many fuzz, after all we've had similar cases on European or World Championships or in Champions League, and then there's so much money involved...
Why does FIFA refuse to embrace technical evolution ?? Just put a camera on the posts, use camera images available for the referee in case of doubtful situations (offside or not, red card or not, ...) and you will avoid much troubles and frustration. I don't get why FIFA is still opposed against camera use.

**ccfcgirl** · 02/05/2005, 11:19 PM

I dont think it was a goal at all,im gutted.I hope we beat Portadown by 2 goals .

**Gerrit** · 02/05/2005, 11:23 PM

I hope you enjoyed your trip to the Real Capital

Does city life look nice to you ?

*just joking*

Did it ever occur to you that on the night Cork weren't good enough! No use blaming the ref or anyone else bar yourselves.

**Anto McC** · 02/05/2005, 11:40 PM

Didn't think it was over the line myself even after looking at the footage but you can hardly blame Shels on that they didn't go looking for it,it was given to them.No worries though lads the ball is still in your court,all you have to do is beat a portadown side with nothing to play for by 2 goals at home,if you can't do that you don't deserve to be in the final.The only Shels player time wasting was Williams and we gave him a load of abuse for it cause we wanted to try and score a second goal.

Well said that man.

Shels will regret settling for a one goal win, Cork will put two past Portadown, they're a far far superior side than Portadown.

The ref was dire but he was dire for both sides, or do Shels have the IFA in their back pocket too?

Typical Cork whinging, forgive me if I'm not overly sympathetic after the woeful antics of Georgie in the first match. He was dire for both sides, but as ever you only notice the decisions that don't go your way and cry conspiracy.
