Larnaca will be red hot favourites against City, they knocked Spartak Moscow out last year. It would be a huge scalp to beat them, providing we take care of Levadia first. |
They were 2-0 down to cliftonville at one stage though and by all accounts fluked it against Moscow. Hard to see that Cork will ever have a better chance of at least getting to the 3rd round, even with Caulfield's conservatism.

It is very rare you can fluke it against a team over two legs though, although I admit to having no knowledge of that tie. I just think people are getting a little carried away, they finished second in a league ranked a lot higher than ours a for a start. They also have a sprinkling of players with international experience, like the Macedonian Ivan Trickovski who scored against Ireland in Dublin in 2011. They seem to have an awful lot of Spanish players too, how good they all are is another thing! There is certainly a chance, there is no doubting that, but should a potential clash happen they would be favourites.

I think team point is that Cork have finally been let play and it turns out are quite good. It will be interesting to see how you approach tidy European opposition.

Ya it's tough when we have a manager holding us back all the time. I can see how a Rovers fan wouldn't understand
What a baffling few replies. We won two rounds last year which is a much as any LOI team has ever won. Our best perfomance was probably away to the eventual quarter-finalists. We are currently making everyone in the league look so pathetically amateur that people are complaining about the standard below us all season. Looking forward to when they are "allowed to play"

Jesus wept. All I said was the draw gives you a chance to match Rovers and Dundalk and get into a group if you approach it like you are approaching league games this season. No one urinated in your cornflakes

No it doesn't, if by some miracle City qualified for the group stages it would fair surpass previous achievements as it would mean winning 4 European rounds. Not going to happen without a couple of big scalps. Big difference between 4 out of 4 and 2 out of 3.

Exactly, people seem to struggle with this and I can't understand why! It is pretty straightforward stuff.

maybe you should wait to start comparing achievements made by Rovers and Dundalk with Cork's achievements until after Cork achieve something.

it's a bizarre reaction to the idea that Cork could do well this year. Imagine the reaction if people said they might flop?

You would want to be exceptionally dense to take that as an actual comparison, the big clue should be the use of the words 'if by some miracle'. To be fair though, Shams achievement was beating a Partizan in disarray and a flower shop but it got you the groups, so fair play.

Yes, fair play, I still don't see it as comparable to Dundalk's efforts last year, but that is neither here nor there.
I have no idea what you are on about after, what compliment and who isn't chilled out? Today is the most 'chilled' I have been n about 4 years too.

I see the improving European results as a progression. Clubs started winning a round every year. Then two. Cork and B*hs took some serious scalps. Shels knocked on the door, then Drogs harder. Rovers made the group stage. Then Dundalk who put points on the board. I can see this Cork side going the distance and potentially further as I believe they are stronger on their day than Dundalk were 1/2 years ago. If you chose to be offended by that, good luck to you.
