the funniest part of the commentary fell to Ger Canning - after acity attack early in the game he wet himself with "They know what they're doing! City know what they're doing!"
I think he was working under the assumption that the Cork players took up this football lark at the start of the season
But do you think the club will throw away the extra cash they could gain form holding it in a bigger ground?
You wont get any argument from me about that.
Can't wait for the redevelopment!
Have Boot Disk, will travel
I think its was very interesting the way City players didn't go nuts celebrating. They obviously celebrated for a few minutes but then went off to their changing room & back out for warm down.
Shows how irish football getting more professional & credit to Rico for not focusing too much on Europe to the detrement of the league.
Well done Cork City. It was great to be there (cheers Éanna). You more than deserved it. Kearney, Gamble and especially Murphy were the real heros in my book but credit's due all round!
The ball is round and has many surprises.
I don't know who was the official Man of the Match I saw Neal Fenn got it but imo Liam Kearney should have got it.
What a player.What a player.
Fabulous result but more important was the performance. To get through by attacking Djurgardens and causing them prblems makes it so much better than sitting back and holding on to the 0-0 (Fenlon take note!). To see Kearney, O'Callaghan and Fenn beating players and outplaying the opposition was fantastic, really shows the quality in the league very well.
Well done Cork and best of luck in the next round.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
I was at the game and it is the best European display I've ever seen from an Irish Club side ( and in fact a lot better than the football the Ireland team have played in a number of matches ).
The atmosphere is electric and was possibly one of the best atmospheres I've ever been in.
The team ( every single one of them ) were magnificent and each player was able to hold onto the ball and find another City player with it, yes, even Dan Murray
Technically Cork were excellent, the defending was superb ( they must have won 65-75% of the challenges and at least 90% of the headers ) but it was there overall play and use of the ball that was just mind blowing.
I said to the friend who was with me who supports City that if City play like this then they deserve to win the league. Pat Fenlon has been shown what can be done by an Irish team in Europe and should bow his head in shame.
I listened to 96FM this morning and a woman came on the air to say that she doesn't follow sport but she flicked over to the match on TV last night and was glued to it, basically thought that it was amazing and has found a new pastime for herself now ( supporting Cork City ). I said to my friends after the 1st leg against Steau that whatever about the result, Shels would never attract new fans by playing 4-5-1 longball.
Fair play to Cork, you've really brought it to the next level.

I heard that too thought it was class. I work in a shop with alot of old women who would'nt have an interest in sport at all and alot of them came up to me today and said they watched the match. The tea breaks at work were filled with did you see the CITY match last night and didnt Rico look well and he is so well spoken not the usual gossip. I was in my element had some smile on my face all day. Didnt get much work done but what could you do!!!!
Agree with everything. Would like to say how well John O' Flynn played. All heart, skill , speed. The Flynny of old is the Flynny of new. Keep it up John. Watch out Finn Harps. Goals to follow. And Roy O Donovan did really well when he came on because it was a big pressure situation especially after being left out.
Brilliant performance ,crowd result etc etc.Danny Murphy was my man of the match.(I missed the shed).Its brilliant to hear other LOi fans supporting Cork City as well and getting all there good wishes .Thanks .
Forget to say about Richardsons decision to bring on O' Donovan for Alan Bennett. My god that took guts and i admit i was taken aback. In retrospect good man Damien. Big Derek has seen so little football this season this was probably not the time or game to throw him in. Maybe against Finn Harps on Monday might be the time for Coughlans return? I'm sure if it happens he will get a big welcome home. And by extension fair play once again to the mighty Greg O' Halloran for stepping in to defence in such a situation. Christ you couldn't fault any of them really could you?
Good tactics IMO. Shhoting may have delievered something but on the other hand it would have given the ball back immediately and they were so quick on the break.
The way the lads played was outstanding I thought. They held it up but went at them when the space appeared - no panicking - very controlled.
A night I'll never forget.
Irish by birth,
Cork by the grace of God.
Congrats Cork, fantastic result.
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
I thought that Roy's yellow was the harshest I have ever seen. Totally unnecessary by the ref.
Injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere - Martin Luther King Jnr.
hahaha..... JOKEGARDENS!!!!
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Only back now after a weekend in Berlin but saw the game in London thanks to some great hospitality and organising skills
It was indeed a night to be proud of City. It was unbelieveable and reading through some of the Irish press yesterday was just amazing.
I thought the team's performance - particularly Kearney and Murphy - were superb and the steel and calmness that they have learned this season showed through once again.
More nights like that please!!
