Hiya - greetings from New York. I'm watching the game on the RTE web site.

Pity about the weather in Dublin today. I'm sure a lot of nuetrals decided to stay at home.

All I can say is "C'mon City"

Goals look great, Cork's crest is H>U>G>E

**harpstilidie** · 02/12/2007, 2:41 PM

Darragh called it as 11-12k, looks more like 6-7k max to me and I have a view of the whole ground.

Really is very, very cold and blowy.

As said above, well done FAI, did they learn nothing from last year?

**SunnySweeney** · 02/12/2007, 3:47 PM

City have started the second half nicely.

Longford have one or two crocked players and their goalkeeper looks nervous.

This is surely City's for the taking now.

C'mon lads !!

**SunnySweeney** · 02/12/2007, 3:53 PM

Deserved win for Cork.

**NeilMcD** · 02/12/2007, 4:34 PM

Yeah fair play Cork, good win. Conditions were terrible.

**Dave77** · 02/12/2007, 4:46 PM

Not a great game but conditions were shocking. According to radio the attendance was 10000.

Fair play to city

**OneRedArmy** · 02/12/2007, 4:47 PM

Dan Murray clearly v angry with board in post-match interview.

Interesting that it seems like it will be both managers last game in charge.

**onceahoop** · 02/12/2007, 4:53 PM

Dreadful conditions for the game. Cork deserved winners.

FAI shown up for moving the game back. Always a chance of deteriorating weather the later the year went on.

**dcfcsteve** · 02/12/2007, 5:11 PM

Poor game - I feel asleep during second half.....!

What's the new Cork crest ? Couldn't get a look at it properly at all - looks mad.

What was all the backroom stuff this week at Cork that they kept mentioning?

Well done the Langers anyway - best team won.

Reminded me of THIS

**half_full** · 02/12/2007, 5:34 PM

Well done Cork, hard luck to Longford, ye did very well this year.

Pity faiLURE moved the match as IMO it kept neutrals away.

P.S. Corks crest is part of their franchising with their new owners I think

**Celdrog** · 02/12/2007, 6:07 PM

Difficult for any football to be played but Cork deserved it. Ricos last game ????

**Cosmo** · 02/12/2007, 6:22 PM

Well done to cork!

Apparently Ricos last match - very hard done by imo as hes done well since taking over (and did ok this season under all the circumstances - farrelly/ healy, losing odonovan,etc)

Dan murray giving the 2 fingers to the board too? A club in turmoil?

what was the official attendance?
