    When I calculated how the remaining fixtures were going to go recently, I arrived at the conclusion that the best we can "realistically" achieve is to finish two points behind Dundalk. That's giving both ourselves, and Limerick, a win against them.

    The league is over. I say we rest a few lads so they're fresher for the Quarter Final.

    The Derry match is Friday, the semi-final is Sunday week. That 9 days is plenty of time for players to recover. If we rest them for this one, then they'll have gone nearly three weeks without playing since our last game was over a week ago. If anyone has any knocks or anything, then fair enough. But if they're otherwise fit, then there's absolutely no need for them to be taking a break. They're not made of glass. If you're too afraid to play a player due to potential injuries, then they shouldn't be signed in the first place.

    Cork City is Ireland biggest club every game is a game that we want to win. Derry Friday is no different I want a big performance from all the lads and a good win which we are capable of resting players for the cup game would be a mistake.
    Derry will be a tough nut though especially after them beating Rovers they will be coming down with confidence

    I know our initial allocation was 700, I was thinking we would be doing very well to get 600 up there but there must be a big demand for tickets if ye sent down more.

    No effort or anything. An awful game.

    They better give us a cup final as a reward for sitting through that rubbish.

    Some feeling getting into another final. 2007 feels like a long time ago. Really should've put Bray away earlier, but sure, 1-0 is more than good enough. Great crowd travelled up, must have been 800+. It's these kinds of away trips that you live for as a football fan.

    There were about 25,000 at the 2005 Cup Final in the old Lansdowne. Tickets were €25 for that, as far as I remember. They're a tenner now. You'd think we'd bring a similar crowd to what we brought that time (although, maybe less since we were chasing a double then), Dundalk would bring much more than what Drogheda did and the two best teams for the last two years would be a bigger draw for the neutrals.

    What I remember from the final in 2005 is that on a pitch like Lansdowne pace is crucial.

    Need Morrissey, Sheppard and Dennehy fit.

    Fair play Morrissey. two seasons ago he did really well when given a run in the team. I hope that he now starts all the remaining games for the season he is a really good player and the pressure that was on him vs bray was huge as he hadn't hardly kicked a ball all year and to come up with the winner shows great bottle. Hoping for a good win vs Drogs now Friday want to keep up the good recent form

    It'd be great if City signed Richie Towell. What are the chances?

    I heard that Towell and Horgan could both be on there way to Bolton Wanderers. I don't no how true the rumour is, but it's about time someone across the water took a gamble on him/them.

    Now or never for Towell to go over will turn 25 next July. Horgan turned 23 in August

    We should stop worrying about Towell and Horgan and start worrying about sorting out our own team and style of play.

    Tickets for the cup final went on sale today, €10 a pop is excellent value. I'd urge everyone to buy tickets for section 114 or 115 as these have been designated as singing/standing sections, get in there and create an athmosphere cause we are going to need it.

    No point guys going to these sections unless they are willing to sing for the 90+ minutes

    Who's "worrying" about Towell and Horgan? I think you may have missed my point, which is odd considering it's there in black and white.

    You posted a full comment on Towell and Horgans situation, that would say to me that you are more worried about where they end up rather than the team City put togheter. Seeing as this is a Cork City FC thread I would say its in black and white that I am correct. You can take your smary reply and you know where to put it.
