True, but i would be very happy with second considering we lost o'donovan, bennett, murphy and fenn and then all the hassle with farrelly and healy, nevermind all the upheaval behind the scenes.
Second place and a Cup win would be superb all things considered

2-1 not sure who scored.

McSweeney had a goal disallowed just before it.
Against the run of play according to our lads. Hopefully we'l hang on

**michaelguineys** · 08/10/2007, 8:38 PM

2-1 FT
Thanks be to Jesus

Thought that was a Brian King own goal myself.

We were robbed by the result, deserved the draw.

Apparently Leon McSweeney had a perfectly good goal disallowed??

Don't know, it was down the away end. Was given as offside.

Delighted with the 3 points anyway.
Pity we didn't hit form a few weeks earlier as we really could have been in with a shout then.
I know its still possible but let's face it, it's unlikely. But if the Behanator keeps on banging them in, then who knows!
Can't help feeling that the points we dropped v Galway and Bray have cost us our chance

We had a perfectly good penalty turned down too.

Cork were poor; happy to hoof clear, put ten men behind the ball and timewaste once they went 2-0 up. Think a draw would have been fair - we made all the pressing in the second half bar one or two Cork counters as noted - but that's football. We rested a couple of players, so a decent enough performance really.

Agreed you should have had a penalty but we had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside. We dominated the first half, you dominated the second but....I thought we still had the better chances in the second half. Kearney (who was crap), in particular, had 2. McWalters header was superb and the best of the three goals.

I don't think UCD got near the City goal in the 1st half. As usual we over did the possession football in the second half by not going for goal when we had opportunities.

Farrelly was my MOTM with superb cross for Colin O'Briens goal & the disallowed McSweeney goal which I thought was harsh.

Behan cannot miss now & has scored in last 6 games which I am told matches a club record.

Started with the strongest team available.

Dropped our captain and top league scorer.

On reflection, we didn't rest as many players as the pre-match previews were saying. Pete was saying we had a few midweek games coming up (Cork on Monday, Bohs in two weeks), we want to focus on the Cup semi and we want to give a few of the fringe players a run (we've a lot of depth in the squad).

**DmanDmythDledge** · 09/10/2007, 11:13 PM

No chance of Byrne starting after playing over an hour on Friday after being out for almost three months. Tony Mc is no longer a regular in the starting line up.
