I was at that. Summed up Bent was crap from it:D There was a load of London lads at it and they had to be the drunkest people I have ever seen. Would be surprised if any of them could remember being in Inchicore. Will defo travel to Cork, might offer Bentley a lift!!

Hopefully it's a weekend. Fancy the idea of going for a few beers in Cork be good craic. Maybe we could get something going when it is announced?

i'd say it'll be midweek somehow. Suit me better too, keep us informed man. Are cork city still in financial strife? I'm sure they'd get a few quid out of it. We should organise the lads on this board to meet for a drink before it if many travel down too it.

Apparantly Dan Murray had to ring up 96 FM for a bus coz the club hadn't payed their bus company 2 grand... So yup I think they're still in trouble!:eek:

I watched a programme recently with Cork fans saying he has money just trying to be a cute hoor and playing the poor mouth. Fans werent happy with the running of the club at all. I think Ill still go if midweek. Have a mate that lives in Cork so will bunk in there even though he is a Chelsea fan! Oh the shame.

If it goes ahead it will be on the weekend of 14/15th November with a Saturday afternoon ko the most likely seeing as Ireland will fingers crossed by playing in the WC play off that evening. A weekend game would obviously bring more Spurs supporters to the game. I know a few lads in London who come over every summer and theyre only waiting for confirmation to book up! Shur I'd even go myself and break my no friendlies rule

As for Coughlan, the City chairman, he is undoubtly a cute hoor but he's potless. Long before he ever became involved in football he was widely known in Cork as TNB = Tommy No Bobs

BTW Dan Murray the City captain is a Spurs supporter!

Is it true that the bus driver stopped the bus in Urlingford on the way back from a game and wouldn't go any further until he got paid for the previous two trips ?that's what i heard anyway.

That bull****. The coach company was paid all outstanding money before the bus left Cork, Not by Coughlan I hasten to add :mad:

By the way we've now rechristened him "Tommy No Bus"

Game not going ahead. City are playing a Liverpool legends XI instead.

At least it means I can resume my boycot of friendly games

Thats a pity it would have been good laugh to have a meet up.
