Cork City - FAI Cup ???

[Rebel Yell]

Great chance this year I reckon....beat Waterford away on Friday night and we are in the semis - Leon McSweeney has the look of a cup winner about him - he has taken up the challenge of being our main goalscorer since Roy's departure...

[ebenezer]

Is it true that AC Milan are monitoring Leon McSweeney's progress ?

Yup City are bang in form and and have a great chance

[The Godfather]

fingers crossed...have to make something out of the season

FFS like



















It was actually Real Madrid that were scouting him

[afeencalleddan]

Yup City are bang in formHmmmm... dunno about that but I do hope they can advance in the cup. They seem to find it difficult to go into games with the right attitude after winning the previous game. It happened a few times this season and it almost happened again last friday but they managed to get it right in the end.

[Echoboy]

We should beat Waterford on Friday alright, so you'd hope that we could go a bit further after that.

Lads, we are only three points behind second and third, with 8 games to go (24 points) and Pats and Rover have only 7 games to go (21 points). We are 8 points off Drogs and they have 7 games and one of those is against us. I'm not saying we can win it but there is no way i'd be ruling it out either. We are finally getting something that looks like a bit of form and if we do handy in the 8 games we could be doing alright.

[steve sanders]

is the game on friday or saturday? the official site says friday on the sidebar but i'm fairly sure it's saturday. it's on tg4 aswell.

win on friday and we're looking at an interesting end to the season. i think it could go either way and would be happy with a draw.

[The Godfather]

ya saturday night isn't it. wont make it due to fucking work :( will catch most of it on tg4 though.....c'mon city

actually a draw would be nice in ways to bring em back to the cross for the replay, but i'd prefer to finish it down there.

A very long shot though...Drogs look that bit much better than anyone this year....same old story for us...a few injuries here and there for us and the rest and we are looking at dropped points. We really cannot afford to drop many at all...we would need 20 out of the 24 points and even that might not be enough...there is always hope though...McSweeney is looking good and in fairness he has taken on the mantle of goalscorer in chief really well...

However, I fancy us in the cup alright...a day out in Dublin for Cork people again...it's never ending really :)

it''s about our fair county's only remaining chance of some sporting glory in 2007 so let's hope the city boys do us proud

Don't forget the girls in the football final on sunday against Mayo...should be a cracking game...Cora Staunton has more balls than the entire Mayo men's side put together...a fine player...

[afeencalleddan]

I'm fairly sure it's RTE2 that's showing the FAI cup games, not TG4.

[Jim Comic]

waterford 1up, gammy free kick

game live on tg4

1-1, 5mins left, not sure who scored for city

Brush up on the gaeilge for TG a Ceathair.Sacar Beo:p

Behan. Cool finish in a one-on-one.

[Echoboy]

Behan. Cool finish in a one-on-one.

Great stuff, he just waiting about two seconds and pulled the trigger. How can a linesman call offside when 22 men are in the other side of the pitch? How can a ref call offside when someone beats three players to nearly go through on goal? How can a ref not call for someone being offside, who then passes it and then call someone offside when being played on by three players? Jebus wept it was unreal?

Free kick against us for the goal and one minute later a Waterford player nearly breaks his wrist while climbing four feet over a City player on his back and nothing is given. Kearney is nearly cut in two and nothing happens and a City player gets a card when Waterford fans think they are getting one.

It might have been a draw but the ref was the real 'winner' tonight.

Fcuk it, we have 'em back in the cross now to finish the job.

Didn't think the fans could get cards.

[STEVIEG]

Good second half performance City should win the replay

[Rebel Yell]

Yeah...hope so...had the feeling once they got them back to the cross at all we have a great chance of going all the way this year...UCD, Longford and Pats OR Bohs...we can beat any of those on a half decent day so here's hoping...

[The Godfather]

bohs beat pats last night...which i think is a good thing cause pats r probably a better team.....jofy back for city tonight...hopefully a good win, i'd love a good smi final at the cross...get the place packed out...fingers crossed for bohs in the semi

[Rebelred]

Can't make the replay tonight unfortunately. City seem to be discovering a bit of form again, the league may be out of reach at this stage but a cup win would be nice.

Good odds on a City cup win now that Pats are out as well...better not feck it up against Waaaherfud tonight...

[Rebelred]

nice wan! Home semi please :)

[st finnbar]

would like to get bohs at home, big crowd, and if we beat them, its either ucd or longford, should walk if we get bohs and win

[steve sanders]

when is the draw for the semi?

[Rebel Yell]

Fuckin great result....Behan 'The Beast' to win the cup for us...

In all fairness to him and Leon McSweeney...they have been knocking in the goals big time since Roy left...it's almost as if we realised that we relied on Roy too much to bag the goals and now that he's gone, we've scored more by spreading the play a bit more...City are certainly great to watch at the minute...

[Poc Fada]

Is it true that AC Milan are monitoring Leon McSweeney's progress ?


AC Milan?? Fuck that, he's well better than anything Italy can offer.

[Loftydog]

According to the news the draw isnt on for 2 weeks. Is that right?

Wonder who cork would prefer to get. I mean for all teams in reality the ford cup is their only chance of silverware

Hard to call...if we get UCD at home, we could nearly start booking Dublin on final weekend now...

On a pure excitement level, Bohs at home would be some buzz in the semi...a packed house that night at the Cross without doubt...

Longford are the one i want to avoid in the semi...their cup record defies logic really. However, it would be the best away trip...

Awaiting the draw anxiously...

[Rebel Yell]

Finally...the semi-final draw is on the Six one news tonight....a long wait for this but looking forward to it...games are scheduled for Friday and Sunday of the Oct Bank Holiday weekend...

Longford away on the Sunday or Bohs at home either day would be potentially cracking encounters...Longfor d trip would be a good weekend away as well...

However, get UCD and we should be looking forward to the Final...

[Echoboy]

Bohs away

[Loftydog]

Dose...

:(

being a friday i'm assuming/hoping it's on telly as there's no way i'll get to dublin that day alas

[Jim Comic]

god, travelling to dublin on the friday of the jazz weekend - nightmare traffic problems potentially though not as bad as in days of yore before the various by-passes were built, took us 6.5 hours one year to get down from dublin on the friday, absolute nghtmare

[Rebel Yell]

Worst possible draw...hope we can maintain current form until then. Would fancy UCD at home to Longford so that would be a banker of a final for the City-Bohs winner...

Can't make the game on the 26th now though...

[Rebelred]

pity about the away draw

[Rebel Yell]

Too busy with work to make it up to dublin but looking forward to this game a lot...our season hangs on this one...Evergreen should be full tonight...

What odds on Behan to end his goal 'drought' of two games tonight :)

[wayne gayle]

H-T 1-0 to City. Tap-in by Kearney after a great cross by McSweeney. We are playing well, hopefully we'll keep the Dublin bastards out for the last 45 mins. now.

[ho chi feen]

Behan off to Atletico Madrid for €9m in January, according to Marca...

Holding out for a better offer

[wayne gayle]

Finished 2-0. Kearney got an absolute peach of a goal in the second half. Bohs didn't really trouble us after that. The Travelling Shed are in full voice!

[Koko-mo]

Holding out for a better offer

I hear Chelsea are looking to him as a replacement for Drogba.
It was reported in the Sun
