Expectaions 2008

[Con-Con]

Cork had some good runs in Europe before I think they'll get to the first round proper and lose to a good side.

It all depends on the draw really. We could get very lucky or very unlucky.

When we reached the same stage 3 years ago we got Slavia Prague. While they weren't the top seeds there were also plenty of teams lower than them.

By the same token you can get unlucky in the earlier stages e.g. Pat's getting Odense last season

You seriously expect Cork to reach the group stage of the UEFA cup this season?

You tell me.
You quoted it.
. . . . . . . . . although I do concede the thread title says expectations.

All I'm saying is, on our day (if this is accurate), we could possibly beat a qualifier, 4th or 5th in Romania, or cup winners from the likes of Scotland and Russia.
As micls said basically.
We could get to the first round proper and have Poli Timişoara stand in the way of the groups but we could also get knocked out in our first game by a Premiership fair-play qualifier.

Like Derry 2 seasons ago when we got the hardest possible draw in the 1st round, IFK Goteborg THEN THE SCOTISH CUP RUNNERS UP WHO GOT BEAT 5-1 AT HOME OR THE 2 TIMES UEFA CUP CHAMPIONS who are one of the G 14.

Hey guys dont write off any of our teams, on our day we can beat anyone.
