    The games against Rovers and Dundalk were expected defeats, not so much the manner of the Rovers game. The amount of goals being conceded and the lack of any attacking threat is worrying also. Friday against Harps is a hugely important game to hopefully kick start our season.

    Cork are one of the worst LOI sides I've seen. They just can't defend. Perhaps not a bad as Dundalk in 2012, but close. Dundalk were in first gear all night, much to the irritation of the home fans who wanted them to up the tempo. However, the players appeared to be firmly focused on Tallaght this Friday and just saw the game out.

    Fair play to the a half a dozen Cork fans who travelled. They are in for a tough season.

    It's a boo(t) in the arse some Dundalk fans need! Cleary was still wrong to have a go imo.

    If tonight's performance is true indication it is hard to see anything other than a relegation battle for Cork City.

    Obviously I haven't seen Finn Harps, Waterford or Sligo Rovers, but I can't see any of those finishing behind Cork.

    Lethargic performance from Dundalk, although the victory was never in any doubt - it was like a low tempo training spin.

    A number of fans in the stand showed their displeasure with Daniel Cleary passing back to the keeper from the half way line. Cleary reacted with a wave of the hand.

    The frustrations of the home support were vocalised when Cleary kicked the ball back to Rogers from half way on 55 minutes but things got a bit calmer when Dundalk were awarded a penalty after Kelly, who had been played in by Hoban, was fouled by Hurley.

    More of a dismissive hand than a wave from Cleary but he shouldn't have reacted at all to that crap from the buzzards in the stand.(a very,very small % has to be said) Vinny will have a word in the guys ear i'm sure,set him straight.

    Dundalk were horrendous tonight against a pub team. Rovers will win on Friday.

    3rd game of the season, win 3-0 to take 9 from 9 points. Cruised through the match tonight as there was no need to go full pelt, hardly horrendous!

    Gerry is a bit madcap. Well intentoned but often blinkered. A character is probably how he'd be described. The PA tonight got a laugh with a 'Any time soon' comment for a sub coming on.

    Seriously hard viewing once again tonight, as it has been since Perth took charge.

    I think I can speak on behalf of fans of every other club in the league in saying...

    Keep the head up, these tough times won't last. Sorry to hear you had to sit though 90 minutes of that disgraceful 3-0 win to keep the embarrassing 100% record up in retaining the league title which you’ve only won 5 out of the last 6 of

    **shrugs shoulders**


    He's got 95% of Dundalk supporters barred from his twitter account.
    How would you sum that up?Eccentric or just someone who cant take criticism?(he cant)


    I dunno?


    Gerry is a nice guy and if you asked him(esp as an away supporter) he'd show you around Dundalk town tomorrow and then bring you up to OP for a tour-but he hasn't a clue when it comes to transferring the nice social skills he possess's to social media.

    Enigma.

    Dundalk fans have always been notoriously difficult to please! I saw a lot more tonight than early last season and we are only 3 games in - the final ball that was missing far too often tonight will start to click. Opposition is a factor as Dundalk didnt need to stretch themselves. It was encouraging that a whole lot of chances were created though not converted; as the season goes on I think we will be more clinical.

    Cork havent offered much against the leagues top sides but I think they will avoid relegation and certainly put it up to sides outside the top 3 or 4. Now more than ever Cork need 4k turning up!

    So its over to Talla on Friday 9 pts each, we played well in the same game last year but just lacked that bit of guile that comes from having done it all before. Have Rovers now got that guile. The cup win and another season under their belts with that core group of players will have certainly helped. Nice evening could see a record crowd for this fixture at this venue, should be a classic.

    Showing his class once again by taking the **** out on an injured player.
