This is my first post on foot.ie. As the dust settles on Cork's European dream/adventure (call it what you like) I've taken the time to think back on the most memorable moments of the past month. As I'm sure you can imagine there are many, but the one memory that I'll cherish is from the NEC Nijmegen game at Turner's Cross. Not the full house, not the performance, not the win... but the St. Pat's fan standing behind me in the Shed. He was fantastic and a credit to the Saints and the League. I don't know who he was but he seemed to be known by a few of the City lads in the Shed. Even for him to travel down from Dublin and show his support was outstanding, but this guy did a lot more than that. He never stopped shouting and singing, lending his voice to City's European cause... proof that in Europe we are all one! I also spotted a couple of Derry shirts among the crowd outside, I heard a few Waterford accents, and I'm told that Bohs brought a contingent down too. I've been supporting Cork City for 15 years and have never experienced such unity.
My personal thanks to that unknown Supersaint and I wish St. Pat's a speedy return to Europe.
A Proud Supporter of the Eircom League.

Always nice to see clubs getting behind each other. Fair ****s to the fella- didn't think we allowed jackeens in the Shed though.
I saw a few Longford Shirts at the game Saturday too

I got talking to a St. Pats fan at the Bray Vs. Harps match in the Cralisle a few weeks back and he was saying the he was going down to all the Cork european matches to support them and the league. One of the nicest blokes i've meet in a long long time ! fcuking bang on ! Wonder was it the same bloke ?
Fair play to all fans who nmade the trip down.
No, didn't have a beard, Roo. Can't remember what he looked like to be honest. Strong Dublin accent though, that's about all I remember!
Cheers for the support DeTown. Good luck tomorrow night.Originally Posted by DE TOWN

We're not arrogant, we're just better.
There's a Pats fan from Cork, living in Cork who only goes to about 4 games in Dublin a year plus the games in Munster...
Top bloke, his dad was from Inchicore (or surrounds) and he's followed Pats all his life
