    I'm sure it's not going to be as big an issue as the Sunderland game, but were there any ticket details in the Echo?

    Colin had one injury that he took a bit of time to come back from but other than that he always played 110% for the club and he is the perfect role model for any player in his attitude towards the game, his club and the sport in general. The work he does outside of the club with the FAI often gets over looked but what he is doing for the game in the wider community, you couldn't put a value on it.

    Colin O'Brien ..... simply put ..... is City to the core !!

    If he's packing in CCFC at the end of this season, I'd like to see him land a part-time managers job (not sure if they exist in the eL, maybe take Citys youths) to dovetail with his FAI job.
    Definitely a future City manager I'd say.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    The match has been cancelled due to the Longford game being arranged for the 26th.

    This has been cancelled until a further date.

    Any ideas on what could be done for it? Some sort of display or something?
