QuoteNice one.
So it's safe to assume that it's backs to the wall and hoof it up to O'flynn for the next hour yeah?
UCD 0 - 1 City
J O'F on 32 minutes.
Scored from a corner won by George.
He and we are off the mark !
Nice one.

Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
No, City playing very well. Have had a few more chances. Playing very positively.Originally posted by Ruairi

That boy Flynn again!
UCD 0 - 3 City
[color=red]Another hatrick
for John O'[/color]
$hels 1 - 0 Derry at half time.
I just thought....
If Derry can score 2 and beat $hels, we'd be top of the league.

an away win.
praise the lord and praise pat dolan
We now have the top scorer in the League - with 3 goals.
100% away from home!!!!!!!!!!!
No one has managed to score against us!!!!!!!!!
What a season - hey don't shoot me for being optimistic.
COME ON CITY and Bohs on Tuesday night.
Irish by birth,
Cork by the grace of God.
Anyone know how
Anyone know how the first 11 ended up ??
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Cork were the better team
Fair play to yis anyway. Cork murdered us tonight.
The passing and movement was excellent and we always looked second best.
O'Callaghan showed some great skill but tell me, is he always such a pr!ck? He spent to whole game moaning and shouting at people.
O'Flynn was real quality and took his second and third goals brilliantly. In his second O'Callaghan played a lovely crossfield pass that split our defence and O'Flynn finished it brilliantly. He went way up in my estimation tonight.
nice result,pitty cobh were robbed against ye!

To the tune of Donna E Mobile...
Goergie O'Callaghan
He wears the number 10
He came from Port Vale
he is not for sale
Neil boy, go to bed. The barbie's over!

Great result , but let's not get carried away.
UCD have lost the two players most likely to frustrate City - Barry Ryan and Clive Delaney - one or other was always turning in MOTM performances against City. They also lost Mahon during the week.
I reckon UCD must be significantly weaker than last season and may be the ones to go down this time.
Interesting to see Doyle on the right - was he better there than he was up front? Surely he will be a better attacking threat than Carey?
citynet
Good to see Woods being substituted. I can't remember that happening before! How did the lineup end up (with Carey and Colin T coming on for two left siders)?Result: UCD 0 - 3 Cork City
O'Flynn hat-trick wins it for City
Cork City, without an away goal since November, beat UCD 3-0 tonight at Belfield, thanks to a wonderful John O'Flynn hat-trick. The three goals, a left-foot shot, a right-foot shot and a header came in just 27 minutes of playing time. The hat-trick was his third in just over a season at Cork City.
Brian Kerr, who has included Bohs striker Glen Crowe in his Ireland squad, was at the game and will no doubt have been impressed by the young striker's performance.
Cork City: Michael Devine; Neal Horgan, Alan Bennett, Dan Murray, Gareth Cronin (Alan Carey); George O'Callaghan, Greg O'Halloran (capt), Conor O'Grady, Billy Woods (Colin T O'Brien); John O'Flynn (Colin P O'Brien), Kevin Doyle.
Goals: John O'Flynn 32, 52, 59.

Yes, that is because Gunther loved playing High Long balls up to smaller players like Flynn and Mulligan, players who will never beat a player like Delaney in the air.Originally posted by SSS

Great result. It proves we can play ball, that Flynn was never going to be the one season wonder some people accused him of being and, last but not least, we beat the Students away.
Hopefully now they will go back to where they belong, playing Collingwood cup and stop irritating the rest of the league.

I'll get carried away, happily, when we get through the next three difficult games against good opposition.
I am as delighted as everyone else that a few jinxes were laid to rest last night.
I reckon if we can not be beaten in the next 2 games and thus have 6 or more points after the Longford game, we will be doing quite OK.
Lets be a little patient and take things a step at a time.
J O'F comes in for a lot of praise from different media outlets today. Most people have commented on the "perfect" hat-trick, a header, left foot shot and right foot shot.
"John O'Flynn scored a sublime hat-trick "....
"the virtuoso O'Flynn, who scored with a header, a left-foot volley and a right-foot drive - the perfect hat-trick"..........
"O'Flynn ended the match as a contest within seven minutes early in the second half with a couple of superb strikes to complete a wonderful hat-trick".......
"City passed the ball well and attacked at will on the immaculate Belfield surface....... City got in behind the UCD defence time after time.......But for Patrick Jennings in the home goal Pat Dolan's side would have been further than 1-0 up at the interval.."
This is a really good sign, and really shows that the Pats game was to tense and nervy an affair. I know UCD are the not the best, but this is a major "psychological" boost for us. An really impressive away victory, beating a "bogey" team and doing it by passing the ball and no hoof.
Onwards and upwards, biys !!

Just so ive got the right person, but are you not the same bloke who was getting carried away after we beat Shels 2-1 last time?
Are you not the same bloke who complained an awful lot about people being negative towards Gunther the whole time?
Its a good win, yes. However, itll count for little more than nada if we losethe next two games, Which we wont. I thjknk we will end our Flansiro jinx as well next week.
Don't remember much about the 2-1 win against Shels. I'm sure I would have been happy about it though. Much better result than a win against a weakened UCD. I may have been getting carried away after we beat Shels 3-0 last season - different story. Shels were expected to beat City senseless, we had a new team. No one had seen O'Flynn and he scored a goal that Ronaldo would have been proud of. Warren and George played well and it was heaven that day, after the disaster the previous year. We now have pretty much the same team ( less Reynolds) so I don't think the win last night was anywhere near as momentous as the Shels one.Originally posted by GWA

Not sure what the Gunther comment has to do with anything, but I'm sure you'll explain that in your reply.
Of course it's a good win, didn't say it wasn't. All I said was there was no point getting carried away. I didn't even direct it at anyone, it was more a comment on my own gut feel on things.
I don't think anyone who was not at the game can fully comprehend how supurbly well City played. We played really attractive, passing, attacking football throughout, I don't think I have seen City play so well for quite some time.
George was absolutly outstanding, Doyle had a good game on the right and as for O'Flynn well hopefully Brian Kerr was impressed with what he saw.
It was our first win in Belfield for over four years and winning 3-0 away from home is something we have not done in a long time.
Nice to see Dolan gather up all the players and bring them over to applaude the fans after, although in fairness most of them had already come over of their own accord.
All in all, it was a very positive night imo.
Bring on the Bohs!!!
Champions!
