Dan Murray was woeful last night, dont think Miller deserves the criticism as much, it did look like he was holding up the ball a lot but nobody was finding space or even looking for the ball, at least he didnt give it away like the most of the rest of them.

Miller wasn't the worst (I thought he was better than Healy, anyway, who probably won MOTM by being drawn out of a hat), but there was so much hope about him. He's been inconsistent, playing fantastically in some games, but fading in others. He really needs to step up, especially when Europe comes around. He'll be one of the experienced guys the team will be relying on, so he can't go hiding during the games.

I thought Murray was okay, given he played 300 minutes of football in the last six days. He was of course frustrating, though, killing two attacks in the space of about ten seconds, by thumping two balls straight out for a throw. Definitely a level below Benno, who's been as solid as a rock in all but the Dundalk match.

Probably the worst I've seen City play in a number of years. Considering how bad we were I'm happy to have got 1 point !! So many poor performances I'm not even going to list them.

Good result vs wexford. just need to get another kind draw in the next round if possible. Galway away next I think City will do the business europa league too. just hope we keep up the form and dont bow out of everything like pats

gimmick

Who are FORAS trustees?

Paz-CCFC

Great to see ticket info for the Europa League. Buzzing for it now, can't wait for the draw on the 22nd.

The owners. The club is owned by a trust called Friends of the Rebel Army Society (FORAS). We took over the running of the club in 2010 when things were going badly. The members/trustees elect the Board of Management to run it on a week-to-week basis and we vote, see the accounts etc. at the general meetings. As a perk for the membership, we get first refusal for in-demand games (eg, Dundalk last October, Europe etc.). We also get a discount on season tickets (5% or 10%, I can't remember).

You can become a member for a tenner a month or a fiver if you're a student/unemployed/under 18. You can pay on a monthly basis or a lump sum annually. See here for more info.

gimmick

I really wish the whole FORAS thing would go away and have it absorbed into Cork City FC.

I genuinely think it would get better membership if people thought they are buying into CCFC rather than "FORAS".

I know its essentially the exact same thing, but i think FOAS is viewed by many as a supporters club rather than the actual club.

So there's no advanced sale for season ticket holders? well that's a kick in the stones

gimmick

The Euro game wont sell out regardless.

It's strange that they didn't include ST holders. For the Dundalk game last October, it went members, ST holders, general sale (never got to this stage). And for the Man Utd friendly in 2012, there was a special discount made to both members and ST holders.

You could always give them a ring. The statement may have been an error or else they might decide that there should be a day or two where they go on sale to ST holders before the general public.

Depends who we get. West Ham would certainly be a sell out and Hadjuk Split probably would be, too. And god help if we get Go Ahead Eagles, we'll have thousands of die hard fans on Boards looking for tickets.

gimmick

Ya, forgot West Ham are involved. That would defo sell out. Not sure why Hadjuk Split would be a draw?

We win 3-1 away, Dundalk lose 2-1 at home....nice start to the weekend !!

Good result and performance in Galway. We had plenty of chances, hit the woodwork twice and tested the keeper a few times, so good to see that we managed to score three times. Billy Dennehy's two assists brings him up to 10 for the season. With 17 assists and goals, he's been involved in 60% of the team's league goals. Dan's goal was a nice header with his back to goal looped over the keeper. Sullivan tipped a low cross/shot from Billy into the bottom corner and Buckley got a cross from a corner into the box and blasted it into the top corner.

Galway's goal was an absolute rocket, straight into the top corner from 25 yards out, no chance for McNulty. Midfield and defence did give him a bit of space, but I suppose, if you encourage long shots, most of them aren't going to be top corner rockets. Galway had a few long shots that drifted well wide or well over. They also had another in the second that McNulty tipped over, but overall, our defence were solid enough.

Deserved three points and great to gain ground on Dundalk.

Buzzing for Bray next Friday, now. Need to keep the results going, it'd give us a huge lift going into the break.

Not a draw in the sense of an English team, who'd probably fill the Cross twice over. But they're still a big Croatian team. They were knocked out in this season's play-off by the eventual runners up, Dnipro. I wouldn't put them too far behind the likes of Red Star and we sold out of the match in the space of a few years. Albeit, Champions League and the tickets were on sale a few days before the match was kicking off. But, Europe was a more regular thing then, whereas after being out of it for nearly a decade, it's a huge novelty again. They'd probably bring 200-300 over themselves, whereas most other teams would bring about 50, maybe 100. Maybe "possibly" would've been better wording than "probably", but if we get good results in the next two/three matches, then I think we'd break 6,000 at least for Hajduk. I couldn't see us getting under 5,000 for most other teams.


TiltedBrain - the statement on the ticket info has been amended to add that season ticket holders can also buy their EL tickets in advance from today onwards.

Seeded teams on the left and unseeded teams on the right, the numbers are the clubs coefficient

You need too put it in a table form

Paz-CCFC

There's a post on CCFCForum showing the seeded teams that will likely make up the Northern section. The groups could be gerrymandered to fit teams in and even up the sections, though.

In terms of a winnable tie and easy to get to, I'd be hoping for Linfield above all others ('tis unfortunate that Cliftonville didn't qualify, they'd have been seeded, too). Next would be Luxembourg, the Faroes (hard to get to, but winnable), Go Ahead Eagles (easy to get to from Cork, were relegated so might be winnable and would give us a seeded place in the 2nd round if we won) then the Scots (easy to get to, difficult but probably easier than the Scandinavian sides). Then West Ham, just for a big draw and easy to get to.

I want to avoid the Scandinavian sides. Don't think we'd fare well against them, a bit trickier to get to and expensive. Irish teams did well against the around 2004-2008, but I think they've gotten wise to us by now.

Paz-CCFC

UEFA have announced the groups for the first round draw. We're in Group 8:

Seeded
AIK Solna (SWE)
Go Ahead Eagles (NED)*
İnter Bakı PİK (AZE)
KR Reykjavík (ISL)
HB Tórshavn (FRO)

Unseeded
Ferencvárosi TC (HUN)
FK Trakai (LTU)
VPS Vaasa (FIN)
Cork City FC (IRL)
KF Laçi (ALB)




Faroe Islands team would probably be top of the list. Iceland wouldn't be too bad either, nor would the Netherlands. We wouldn't stand much of a chance against AIK and Azerbaijan would be an absolute disaster in terms of travel.

Fabio

KR are beatable I'd say, although they'll be joke, they did well against Shelbourne a few years back.

hman231

Not a bad draw, will easy for fans to get there, lots of flights from Belfast and Dublin. Really should be looking to progress in this tie if we have any ambition, won't be easy they are in europe every year and know whats its about, the likes of Healy, mcnulty and dennehy will have to use all the experience and step up big time if we are to progress but I have faith in them to do so. Derry away Friday is another crunch game in the title challenge and a must win with all the other teams around us picking up point, big win vs Derry Friday and then a weeks rest for the big European return to the cross, this is when we start to see what this squad is made of nothing comes easy

hman231

Derry 0-2 Cork City. Dennehy has been best signing we've had in year keep on coming up with the goods. big game now Thursday but I really think a packed cross and good atmosphere will get us a home win

Is there something wrong with the normal CCFC Forum. Always enjoy a read of it there but now I am getting some strange 'Install Community Suite' message where a licence key is involved.

Anyone else have this.
