Minimum: Top 3 in league/getting into UEFA, Win one round in Europe, good Setanta/FAI cup runs.
Hoping: Retain the title, win a cup and get to third Qual round of CL.
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
Minimum:
- Finishing better than last season
- moving into new stadium as planned in June
- keeping a manager for an entire season
Hoping:
- Promotion (by any means. Winning a playoff agianst Longford would be nice)
- big sponsorship/investment
- a cup run would be nice
(I dont ask for much)

To be fair Tiktok, Cork should be looking to finish first and no less IMO. Finishing 3rd would be hugely disappointing for your club I think.Originally Posted by tiktok
you should expect to match last year's achievements, and hope to improve upon them IMO.
Minimum: Mid Table
Hoping: Top 4 and to beat Dungdalk everytime we play them.
Bohemians should be hoping for Europe or Setanta, but for the first time since supporting Bohs I am not confident going into a new season. We'll see.
If finishing 1st is a minimum how do you improve on that?
Well smartarss, winning by more points, doing better in Europe, doing better in the Setanta Cup, the League Cup and the FAI Cup would all count as a better season.If finishing 1st is a minimum how do you improve on that?
I agree we should be looking to finish first.
I hope we do, in fact I expect we will, but the minimum I will accept is getting back into Europe next season. That was the question
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
Only the first actually would be counted as an improvement on finishing first, and then only if they finished first again, obviously. Seeing as they won the league with a record points haul last season, an increase certainly shouldn't be the "minimum" expected. You have to have realistic minimums or else you're going to end up really disappointed at the end of every season.Well smartarss, winning by more points, doing better in Europe, doing better in the Setanta Cup, the League Cup and the FAI Cup would all count as a better season.
Fair enough, you don't want to get Newcastle United syndrome by having your fans settle for second best when you have what it takes to be the best though.I agree we should be looking to finish first.

IMO it is Rico's job to improve Cork City, anything less than last year's achievements would be a failure, not saying that he should be sacked if they finish second though.
Only a Bohs fan would set a minimum goal as winning the league by more points. FFS who gives a crap how many points you win a league by. Might explain why so many Bohs managers hounded out by their supporters.
How many Bohs managers were hounded out by Bohs fans in recent years? One. Peter "Do a trick Trevor" Mahon.Only a Bohs fan would set a minimum goal as winning the league by more points.

McGrath was sacked before any backlash. Luckily for us.
Roddy was sacked because of a clash with the board and contract issues. Nothing to do with fans.
Mahon, OK yes. He was a disaster though and he should have been pushed before he jumped. Were the fans wrong to be unhappy with the best and most expensive team in Ireland fighting relegation?
Kenny as Bohs manager got stick for one game, and only for about 20 minutes of that game. He even says that himself. Hounded out? Obviously not.
Farrelly is manager and isn't getting any stick.
How many Cork managers have been hounded out by the fans in recent years? More than Bohs I would guess.
EDIT: You are also twisting my words. I said in the original post "you should expect to match last year's achievements, and hope to improve upon them IMO." No mention of points. When you amazingly asked how Cork could have a better season I gave several examples of how you could, one of which was winning the league more comfortably. Though rolling your eyes gives your post an amazing credibility.

What about...
(That it wasn't in your initial post is irrelevant - you did mention points)
He asked how you could improve on first in the league. Sensible answer - you can't. Your answer - progress further in Europe, Setanta, etc, none of which has anything to do with the league.
I acknowledged that in my last post. And the thread is titled 2006 season, not 2006 league.
Minimum is not the same as expectation. It is the minimum you will accept before season is a disaster.
City fans will expect the team to win the league but minimum for all the top clubs is European qualification & not sure if InterTwoBob counts as that anymore.
Reading your posts on our hopes/expectations for next season is irritating. The best thing for you to do, I humbly suggest, is to stick to the hopes/expectations for Bohs forthcoming season and leave us out of your banal musings.
Join FORAS. You know you want to.
Tough to say at this early stages with any new signings or players leaving, but...........
Minimum - To finish outside the bottom 2 places and have a decent cup run, like last season
Hoping - With the right signings we can finish in the top half of the league table, maybe even a european place or a cup win this time around. Investment into the club to drive us forward to take on the likes of Shels, Derry Cork and Drogs. A new Carlisle Grounds please ;-)

Get your head out of your arss you twot. Any Cork fan who says that they won't be calling Richardson a "langer" if he doesn't bring home the bacon this year is a liar.
Still waiting for the Big Clubs expectations...
They're in my first post that you have read so thoroughly you little genius.
I'm still waiting for you to tell me how many managers us big bad Bohs fans "hounded" out, and how many Cork fans did.
