We've been to a final and a semi final in those 2 years, same as you, and it was BEFORE that that we called it a preseason tournetment. says much, eh?

yeah, it does. wouldn't want to give the obvious media interest the impression that half fit, half committed players is what cork city is about.

i'm sure bohs wouldn't make any excuses, should they qualify some day.

We don't accept excuses, we demand results!

because its a semi-final of "a very important cup", according to yourself?

thanks for ignoring 90% of my post and concentrating on attendance figures

Your ground would be lost in our ground. It is hardly like for like.

It would also be lovely to have a whole big city catchment to ourselves. Think of the crowds we would get then. It's sad to think that a club who has the whole of cork for a catchement cannot attract more than an average of 3000.

But hey, what ever gets yourself off.

(i) cork is significantly smaller than belfast
(ii) there were bigger crowds when there was a city rivarly.
(iii) we have seasonal competition from the GAA and from Munster rugby. for some reason I can't see any of your potential support turning down a day at windsor park because antrim have a game that weekend.

and we're still avoiding the topic of the thread i see

I cant believe the cork fans on here. For f**k sake the absolute state of you's!!

1) You don't dominate a game unless you score goals. You had more posession then Linfield thats about all it boils down to!!

2) Linfield have proven themselves as worthy matches to any Eircom league side. The results prove that. Thats what matters not your poxey more shots off target ect bull****!!!

3) Enjoy the intertoto cup now there's a nothing competition!!

We own the stadium, so it is our stadium that NI use. Also what difference does it make anyway? It is still twice the size of Corks, so it is only natural you will sell out your stadium more often that us. Is that too much for you to understand?

Cork may well be, but your still the only senior team for miles around so your catchement is still massive. Linfield have South Belfast.

City rivalry, is this between the current Cork side or the thousand others that went to the wall? I wonder why that is?

You have GAA, so what? We have rugby, Ice Hockey and 4 or Belfast teams to compete with and you have GAA. Boo fecking hoo.

Small time club thinking they are more than they are. Intertoto, here they come

Self praise is no praise.
Like I said before, our striking problems are well documented, we're under no illusion about that. What's your excuse for being utterly rubbish?

And still winning? None, we where bad, no point in being like yourselves and blame everything and anything on your failings. We are through so we haven't failed.

On another day we could have played you off the park and you could have beat us. Football is like that and you should have a bit more sense or intelligence to realise that football is funny that way. You should also have the sense and hte intelligence to not judge a football team on one display.

Also I wasn't praising myself, I was praising another poster who supports a different team to who I support for his accurate observation of Cork City.

I was talking about linfield fans, as a whole, praising themselves.

C'mere boy, there's only so many times one can laugh at the same joke so I'm going to leave you and your mates to your little fantasy of being something significant.

I'm off to enjoy my long weekend, because you don't register with me and I've got much more important things going on in my life.

Cheerio!

Jaysus lads would ye not give it a rest? This is worse than Bohs V Rovers and Limerick V Galway put together.

**Risteard** · 04/05/2007, 1:55 PM

Only Drogs and Linfield v the 3 City fans gullible enough to keep at it.
What a load of poos.

To be honest mate, I find the whole thing very amusing as does other people on the ILFs who are watching this. I think though it is starting to come to the end of it's life now. But it was fun whilst it lasted
