Cork

**Rory H** · 28/07/2007, 12:34 PM

When we keep winning it just makes me think of the next game and its massive in a lot of way. Importance,as a challange, the journey and the session

Should have about 20 fans so we will get some sort of atmosphere going. A draw would be excellent but with cork having games in hand and 2 points ahead maybe we need to win.

**Rovers1** · 28/07/2007, 12:46 PM

should be good. think we can get a draw down there. Cork are hot and cold, raf will be back, so hopefully a full strenght squad. almost 12 hours travel altogether on a train over the w/end, but itll be worth it!

**sligoman** · 28/07/2007, 1:27 PM

I see nothing but a 2 or 3 nil defeat

. Cork have Healy now and at TC they are a completely different team. Hope I'm proven wrong though.

I'm always sceptical about calling games such as the recent Drogs and Pats games must-wins but this game should show whether we're competing with the like of yourselves and Bohs or Drogs and Pats.

We are indeed hot and cold but we haven't lost a league game at the Cross in about two years.

I predict a stumbling CCFC victory.

**Risteard** · 29/07/2007, 10:32 AM

Well Roy will be back and its when Roy or Johnno haven't been banging them in that we've been absolutely toothless and overplaying everything.
Nonetheless, we'll probably have Cillian Lordan at centre-back who could find Kudozovic very tough. Darren Murphy and Sean Kelly out but only one of them would play. Gamble should be recovered but with Healy and Farrelly, we don't look ****ed when Joey is injured or suspended.
Even Kearney seems to spend time in the centre nowadays so if ye attack down the wings there'll be nobody there.

imo if we get at murray we could have some joy. thats just my opinion. he's like barry ferguson, slow and not great on the ground.

think the team are travelling the night before, something we never done before, done it against waterford and it worked, the long journey on matchday takes a bit out of you. thats only a small factor though really.

Raff will be back aswell and i think maybe leave boyd on the bench for a game or two until he's fully fully fit. he did well on friday though. subs that came on friday will be looking to start, i think cashy is more effective from the bench when teams a tiring in the last half hour. id start manson. no one will agree obviously. seamie should be given more licence to get forward, if its manson on the right with seamie, ogrady will have to be looking at the right side and cover it any time seamie goes forward because manson is an attack minded player and will be forward aswell. ogrady will do that anyway. he's been brilliant.

it'll be tough id love a point but we'll go and play our normal game im sure and look to win it.
its too unpredicatable in this league to say the score

In fairness, it's obvious that Manson is more effective from the bench as the only time he's done really well is when he's come off the bench. Definitely shouldn't start Friday, just cos he done well in last 30mins against Shams.

healy - good, but needs time to settle in with the team. had buckets of confidence the first day taking people on, recently has started to pass backwards trying to keep possession. all well and good, but when you're one-nil down its frustrating.

farrelly - does what he does, well. what he doesnt do will get him lots of stick. capable of 15/20 minute periods where he'll dominate possession, before reverting back to performing nice little passes around the centre circle and not much else.

Agree completely, Manson has had 1 decent appearance as a sub, but i dont think he is anywhere near cash's quality.

Would hope for a point but we could get lucky and get all 3.Will Meredith be playing or be on the bench.

I know but he will be singed by then.

**roversforever** · 29/07/2007, 5:42 PM

manson ahead of cash....are you for real???you're obviously a personal friend of mansons coz if you were going on football alone you would not be constantly defending him the way you are.cash is quality.manson may have football in him but he's lazy, never beats a man,always looks to go backwards,won't make a challenge,terrible positional sense,can't cross,won't score and frankly i aven't yet seen him have a good game for this club.and some people are saying he did ok on friday...all he did was ok, he didn't exactly run rings around the opposition for the 20mins he got.so to suggest he starts is crazy in my opinion.to be honest if he left the club tomorrow i wouldn't be sorry to see the back of him.

Sligo have drawn Cork in the GAA quarter final next Saturday in Croker. Anyone got a lift for Sligoman from Turners Cross to Dublin? He's mad up for the double.

Haha

**red arrow** · 29/07/2007, 7:05 PM

rovers can do it. cash had a proble with his groin thats why he was taken off. for those who are not manson fan's i say give him a chance . i believe he has good ability otherwise cookie would have let him go. he is ony young, look how long it took faz to stamp his mark (and there are several people on this board who called for his head) and now are singing his praises. it takes time for these young players to settle in to the fast and furious pace of l.O.I. football. dot be critical of the players at all times they give of there best. support the team as a unit then we can achieve greatness. i am quietly confident about game on friday as i am about SLIGEACH. the ball is round wheather you are rewarded with a score when it goes over the bar or between the posts. its all sport and brings great joy and unity to everbody. up the rovers ! up sligeach (so says faz)

Anyone know where the "I feel like getting sick" smilie is?

[COLOR=black]Most people wouldn't have given Judge a sniff last year was easy to see Cash isn�t 100% should be ok for Friday night though, no comparison with him & Manson but give the lad a chance.[/COLOR]
