Roddy

Roddy also said that league here wasn't progressing because of the number of failed English lower division players been brought in here rather than developing our own youth players.

He was the biggest culprit in that regard.

Roddy didnt just decide to go on a little rant, he was asked were the cork tactics right and basically he said you shouldnt try and play such an open game in europe if you do not have the players to do it. i think he was right in that cos slavia were carving cork open especially from about the 15th minute to the second goal. he got a bit carried away tho as we all no he can but he didnt just say it for the crack. Remember slavia hit the post twice on seperate occasions as well as a magnificent same from devine they also had plenty of other good chances. cork played well in spots but slavia were at least two goals better in my opinion

It was an away match in Europe.

I would always favour the home team in thoses circumstances, just the same as City will have more in their favour in a fortnight.

Roddy went to town on a performance of a team away against a good Prague team.

He made some points but he did not make them well.

which would mean Cork would need to score 4.

Based on last night's game, Cork certainly have enough to pull back the 2-goal deficit at home, it's keeping them out at the back that's the big problem, and going by the first leg evidence, I can see Prague scoring at least once, and Cork won't pull 3 goals back in the return leg.

Cork may well score 2 goals, providing they get an early goal. The biggest problem is trying to keep Slavia from scoring. If cork just had 1 away goal they would have had a chance.

Roddy should be banned from appearing on eL tv shows .... the FAI are so concerned lately over damaging comments and banners etc. ..... we'll see how fast they react to this one ...... if they react to it then i'll see their side to it all.

City V Slavia .... City are more than capable of getting a result, and if we do turn it over then there will be no question that we deserve to progress !!

It is up to the team to show their worth !!

a question face.
you think roddy should go on the box and lie?
he thinks cork played poorly and irish clubs are struggling to get to the next level after recent improvements.
heretic! burn him at the stake!
or just grow up. saying something negative about cork isnt a criminal offence despite what some of the posters here think!
