Yes I read this but also have heard of some lads having train tickets already so was wondering if they'd gone on sale already

Train tickets are on sale but no departure or return time confirmed as of yet.

Im missing the final this year due to very bad planning. Got the train last year which brought us to the gate of the Aviva. Was absolutely perfect. Apart from the poor fúckers who were left behind in Mallow. If I were going this year this is how Id be travelling again no question.

He's got something like 6 or 7 buses running so far. He'll probably end up with double that amount in the end. He does some work in fairness like!

gimmick

No doubting that. But there is no way I would get on a dry bus on cup final day.

Train for me this year, without a doubt. Went up on the drinking bus last year but I'm too old for that carry on now (I turned 50 this year )

Question to anyone who caught the train last year: Is there enough time after the match to grab a few cans from an off licence before the train heads back to Cork? I'm assuming the return departure will have taken into account the fact there will possibly be ET and pens (hopefully though we'll have lifted the cup after 90 mins).

Even with the extra time last year, we had 2 pints near the ground and got to Connolly and got cans before the train. In hindsight we were ina bit of a rush though so maybe the 2 pints were a bad idea.

So if the times are the same and there is no ET you have loads of time.

Thanks Gimmick. That's good news

Hi Mac.

Don't know – I'm just following latest score.

There's still the cup, lads!
Depressingly quite here.

Worztron

Let's try for better goal difference anyway -- maybe even get most goals for.

Worztron

Just 3 more goals to beat our record PL win (7-1 vs Limerick F.C. in 1993). ⚽️ ⚽️ ⚽️

SteelyDanJalapeno

Great to see Kav back

Worztron

Just 2 more for the record. ⚽️ ⚽️

Great win on our last home league game of the season. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Ragnar Lothbrok

Ogbene was brilliant last night. A pity that he missed the penalty, but there was far too much pressure on him after Turner's antics and the long delay caused by the ref. The fact that Turner's Cross went absolutely silent can't have helped his nerves either!

He looked so comfortable on the ball, has great strength and speed and also seems to read the game really well. A great prospect and hopefully we get a season or two out of him before he gets the inevitable move to England.

Wexford were shockingly poor. 5-0 flattered them!

"Turners antics" ??

I thought it was lousy on Turner that he was forced to give up the spotter. I assume he was the assigned peno taker. He'd have scored it too.

Ogbene was a breath of fresh air last night. If he has another good game in Bray I'd put him in for Shepherd for the Cup final.

The_Kew_Tour

Disappointed with the crowd for last game. I know nothing to play for, but felt they deserved bit more.

namloc1980

Monday nights are just no good for a decent crowd. Especially coming 3 days after another home game. Asking people to cough up €30 for two nothing games is never going to get many people excited. Last night should've been €5 in or something like that.

What happened with Turner?

OK, "antics" is a bit harsh (I like Turner, I'm not one of those who immediately jumps on him every time he touches the ball).

It's just that at 5-0 up and with Ogbene on a hat-trick, there's no way Turner should have been looking to take the penna. And when asked to hand it over to Ogbene he should have done so without a second thought, instead of arguing about it.

Anyone else feeling a buzz for the Cup Final next Sunday?

I went out to see the Open Training Day yesterday and that was very well attended and well organised as well. I think it's something the club could maybe do every year. Doug Minihane took a pile of pics: https://www.facebook.com/Doug-Minihane-Photos-995110287183323/

On Friday night Neal Horgan is launching his second book about his time at the club - that's over in the Heineken Brewery and later that same night there's a cup final preview night in Soho where a good few of the older players will be interviewed.

The buzz seems to be slowly spreading to those who never go to Turner's Cross too. Plenty of people at work asking me if I'm going (!) and do I have a ticket etc. Some of them never go to a game at the Cross, but they're going up to the Aviva. Not sure why this annoys me, but it does :mad:

It kinda annoys me too but at the same time it might give them the bug or to even turn up a few times next year.

I'll start to get excited about the game on Saturday. The anticipation will grow. The train/ match tickets are purchased, the deck of cards are already in the 'city' coat and the hope is Dundalk miss their connecting flight after their match Thursday ........every little helps!!

Thanks for reminding me.

Just to see if this will further propel the buzz. The Shed documentary in full on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTSIZDcNSww

Those were very special days. More to come, hopefully this Sunday will be one of them.

ShamoBuc

Great to see over 3,000 down the tonight. The lads did very well. With a bit of luck they could have gotten a result. Missed pen was a killer.

The_Kew_Tour

The only difference really was that Roma had that bit more fitness same against Finnish crowd.

Thought City played very well and were unlucky to get beat.

hufpc8w3adnk65

Who missed the pen?

The goalscorer, Drinan.

Fabio

The scoreline flattered Roma, City played some lovely football and really put it to the Italians I felt. Look at the way Roma celebrated at the end - that was the mark of a side who had been pushed, and pushed hard.

The City lads should hold their heads high, they did the club, the city, the whole county, proud last night with that performance. There's no reason they shouldn't get something out of the second leg.

applehunter

Never thought we were going to win last year. Billy Dennehey, Liam Miller, Mark O'Sullivan, Garry Buckley T15 would get nowhere near the side this season.

Big pitch will suit us. Dundalk on their way back from Russia. We've seen today with Man City & Athletic Madrid how hard it is to come back to domestic game and go again.

The big pitch suits this side and their athleticism.

Prediction : 2-1

Well done to all involved with CCFC!!!

Some folk may have played down the importance of the cup during the year, but I always felt it's importance. When Seanie tucked away the winner the sheer delight and pandemonium was surreal.

A great way to beat them aswell.

Absolutely delighted.

We got what our club truly deserved today!!

Onwards and upwards !!!

gimmick

I certainly derided the cup earlier on and stand by it. At the time all I was concerned about was the league.

However today is a huge huge HUGE day in our clubs history. Had we lost to them again it would have killed morale of everyone. Fans, players, everyone. The fact it was "them" we beat made it more special. Defying them more history and all that.

And I missed it. I'm away. Gutted to have missed out but am absolutely delighted to say Cork City FC Cup Champs 2016.

The_Kew_Tour

Great day and it means more to us as we needed to show somthing for last 3 seasons.

We still lack 2 or 3 players and if we get right plsyers in we be hard stop next season. Dont forget Dundalk could possible lose few key plsyers when league Starts next season

Raoul

Congrats Cork from a Dundalk fan. If it wasn't against Dundalk I would have been happy to see Cork win. I was also happy to see Cork do well in Europe.

I do think it is funny though how bitter all the players are towards Dundalk.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154181964461848&id=571916847
Bit of respect lost, be gracious in defeat. Stephen Kenny was nothing but positive after the game about Cork. Karl Sheppard also criticising pundits: "Credit to Dundalk we wanted them at there best and they certainly were tonight they had some season👌 but couldn't be happier for this group".
Just have to point out there was no way Dundalk were at the their best. They were absolutely exhausted. O'Donnell was playing on one leg, McEleney was barely fit to run, Horgan was in bits near the end.

I enjoyed the game. Happy for genuine Cork fans who aren't bitter, a good few here who were happy for Dundalk fans in Europe. Well done! Try and enjoy winning the cup and not focusing on Dundalk.

Not going take away from victory but that was cringe stuff from Mcnulty.

He was drunk(i hope) but still.

Well ...

I think most people would have thought Dundalk were favourites including yourselves. But to say nobody gave Cork a chance is definitely wrong. Dundalk are still the best team in the country.

Lots of people were applauding how good Cork were in Europe but that was ages ago, Dundalk are in the group stages now and of course people are going to talk about them.

Also, being pissed and going on a rant like that is a bit unprofessional .

So basically, I disagree with everything he says.

I just wanted to point out one thing I would be disappointed with if I was a Cork fan was the half time warmups. Dundalk were out doing various drills while Cork were just passing it, kicking it about and taking a couple of shots. Obviously didn't matter in the end but just thought it was interesting.

joeysoap

Taken down now, maybe as well for everybody. I wouldn't think he meant half of it, more like a few drinks and got a bit carried away. I didn't care what he said tbh, but you would never hear a GAA, Rugby or other sports person using so many fcuks in such a short space of time, and maybe one of his friends should have taken the mike off him. Nobody died and there was no harm done,(except to maybe the lad himself). He did have a good match, so celebrating is understandable.

ShamoBuc

Looks like Seanie might be off to Preston. Would have liked to hold onto him for another year.
Great crowds on Grand Parade tonight, great to see.
