Dundalk Town Vs. Cork City Predictions

Xpro wrote: I take your point "Twoinarow" and the RTE switchboard would be jammers with complaints about obscene language. But the sound engineer or director could fade down any singing or shouting containing foul language and fade up any singing of a club`s anthem. In other words, Hamilton and Croly take a pause in commentary and the singing from both sets of fans takes centre stage.

the confederation members would have had Joe Duffy blocked up for months

Surely they could place mics nearer the home and away support and fade up the singing at appropriate times? All we got was an ambient sound which was barely audible under the commentary.   They moved the mics away from the Shed after the last game when we sang f**k Delaney and the FAI.

Still heard it the last night

Doesn't know the league well enough,always calling the players the wrong name etc. Croly would be better off in the studio with Kerr as commentator (as someone said earlier). The set up Eir Sport have has really shown up how sh*t the coverage is on RTE. Croly would be better off working for Dulux talking about the quality of their finishes. Last night was just awful from RTE, tokenism at it's finest.

The Boy Z wrote: Really enjoyed the game and atmosphere. I would be one of those neutrals who wanted Dundalk to win. After timing I know but I fancied them to win last night, I think the Sligo result would have focused their minds and taken them out of their comfort zone. Always answer the questions asked of them and did again last night. Thought they definitely deserved to win. Was surprised by how good Keane was and Gartland/Boyle never gave Maguire a kick. Bolger was shocking for Cork and should have been sent off. The referee was terribly inconsistent all night but I don't think he favoured anyone. Thought Horgan had a very average game apart from his goal which was brilliant. People saying Dundalk have a more difficult run in? Really don't see it. The fixtures themselves are straight forward enough. They have easily beaten Rovers, Longford and Pats away already this season, Leaving Galway and Bohs at home. The only issue they have is so many games in a short space of time. Cork are so much better than they were last year, it's scary. Beattie was great for them. Be interesting to see how Caulfield approaches the cup final after O'Sullivan made a big difference last night. Still reckon it will be the same team apart from Morrissey coming back into midfield for Holohan.

Should have near a 1000. Funny, outside of your stupidity I would have no problem with Dundalk. Your players spent the second half diving and moaning, every time there was a challenge there was about 5 players around the ref. Excellent dive by Shields at the end too, even better than Ogbene's. Running down the clock. When your champions and better than anyone you will understand 2nd place 3 years in a row is not a bad feat. Enjoy that Presidents Cup, cause it's only one you are going to win Endorsing cheating, spoken like the classless clown you are.

All the great teams, Barca, Madrid, Munich do it so why be any different? It's upto the refs to spot it! In saying that only for the Ref last night you would have no Bolger Fri night. How he wasn't sent off for 2 yellows is ridiculous.

Caufield looked like a lost man on the sideline, didn't know what to do after 5 mins when it was clear we are better than you!

Enjoy coming 2nd! With all these 2nd placed finishes you think your crowds might dip and financial disaster will mean we have a new Cork City FC Foras FC group in a few years?
