Errr - no it doesn't.....

If Derry lose their next 2 games and Shels win theirs, Shels get 2nd spot and we go 3rd. How is that "nothing to play for".....??

Only if your 3 points are all againt Derry. A danegrous way of thinking, GZ, but would certainly make for a great last game....

A win against Shels and a draw with Derry will do it for Cork!
won't it?
I can see Shels putting up a strong resistance but Cork winning 1-0, Georgie knocking in the only goal..
That will be all the Dublin teams (in Premier division) beaten by Cork this season..
Last game of the season in Cork should be great..

I think the League is Corks this year

certainly. no matter who wins the title i'll be proud of our team and your team too. fair dues to derry,any other season we'd have the title wrapped up already. you've always been my 2nd team, and hopefully the league will reflect that

A few things....

The League is far from won Gav.
Shels have a huge amount to play for, it's called the UEFA Cup.
We were the better team by a considerable distance last night, the 1st was not against the run of play.
Ref was a joke, red cards were ridiculous.
The second especially should be rescinded, it was an accident ffs.
If we beat Shels, which we could, there will be pressure on Derry Saturday, since were they to lose, they'd lose the league there.
It wasn't a great win, it was a professional performance against a poor team.
Fair play to the Rovers fans at the end, it's easy to sing when things are going well, it must have been hard last night.

...I THINK that whichever team wins the League this season will do it with a record number of points, which is a great compliment to both Cork and Derry.

i know, but i had to counter-balance "Will Cork Blow it" with something confident!

i suppose i have to give them that.

can the cork fans comment on the ref? whatever about the first red which was just controversial, beach's sending off was hilarious.
im not one of those rovers fans to talk about conspiracies, but thats 2 in 1 week....

1. "against the run of play" ???
You were havng a good spell, but City were ALWAYS on top.
2. Both goals came from exquisite skill from Fenn.
3. The second red was a disgrace, it was hardly a yellow even.
4. I hope you manage to stay up, your fans and players are a credit to the club, it's a pity about your manager.

Probably did, we could certainly have scored more goals if we kept going for it, but we just played out the last 20 minutes or so with keep ball.
Players taking it easy for the games ahead?

He's upset cause someone stole his lucky hat and won't give it back

Code:

Shelbourne 0:1 Cork
Derry 1:0 Pats
Cork 0:1 Derry

Shelbourne 1:1 Cork
Derry 1:0 Pats
Cork 1:1 Derry

Assuming a run of results similar to those, our league champions will not be from Munster.

Its too close to call, and I sincerely hope Derry do it. 1) Because it benefits Shels 2) I'd love to see certain people whinging about being the best yadayadayada, depsite the fact we've been listening to it for too long with no reason as to why

If Cork draw with Shels and Derry, and Derry beat Pats, Derry win. Tbh, I wonder what the odds on that are, it seems like a good bet!
