How is slab?

Heard the whole family fighting last few months over land and money

How Healy thought that team would prevail in the premier division is a serious lack of judgement.
Myself and I'm sure most city fans expected that we'd buy a decent team for the premier league.
How wrong we were, I'm on a LoI forum with fans from most of the clubs , ordinary football fans , but unlike me know their LOI clubs inside out.
To a man they were shocked surprised and bewildered by our lack of basic football skills

At the end of the day, it's LOI and supporting whatever team is a vocation. Large support and enthusiasm don't guarantee quality. I think expectations need to be tailored a tad for this season at least. Staying up will be a success going off that performance.

Still a great occasion, but definitely harder to watch sober.

Hopefully not, but from reading old Armitage Shanks in the run up to the season, he seems to be expecting a Champions League place. Hopefully the rest of the League is at our standard.

At least we got decent toilets.

Between ourselves & UCD I'd imagine. Maybe if someone "accidentally" left some J1 application forms in their dressing room....

Can't blame the kid, was his first senior appearance for any team, he'd donkeys not footballers in front of him

Thought his mistake for their second goal was complete amateur hour. A lesser guy wouldn't have come back from it but he put it behind him and pulled off a couple of decent saves afterwards. He's young and he'll know he screwed up. Hopefully he can go on to great heights but I won't be judging him just yet.

We put it to Bohs in the latter stages and could very easily have come away with a point, so it's harsh to say we were completely out of our depth. Almost getting a draw with a decent LOI side is not a sign of a team out of its depth.

Agreed we looked absolutely awful in the first half too. Terrible when you hear commentators say that Corks best hope at a goal is set pieces. We need to have more ambition than that.

I'm always a bit dubious when LOI clubs start signing unknown foreign fellas. There are enough decent guys here who'd do a great job for a LOI club. I wouldn't be surprised if these lads are gone half way through the season.

I reckon we'll stay up. We have the backing of Mr. Usher and he really believes in what he's doing, and I think if the crowds keep coming through the gates then momentum will pick up and the team will respond on the pitch. Slightly worrying to see UCD getting a point away to Dawk though, I hope that was a case of Dawk being really shit and not UCD having improved.

Well, the official stream went down about a minute before Derry scored. And it's not just me. Plenty of people pointing it out on Twitter.

I'd love to be able to comment on what happened, but, y'know, not having seen the goal I don't know. Cork were looking a bit better than last week, not great but a bit better. Midfield was still a shambles. No ability to string a few passes together. Useless long balls coming from too high up the pitch to really catch a set defence out. At least they held the ball for the first touch a few times. Still, when you have three players in midfield and it looks like you have one you're never going to do well.
