Cork City -v- Shelbourne FC: KO 8pm *Live on Setanta Ireland*

SantryRed

Huge game tonight for the reds. We need at least a point or we are doomed to at least the relegation play off.

Expect an awful, awful game. And probably a Cork win.

dan1895

Was supposed to be going to this with two, maybe three others, until it was changed. Would be happy with a draw but a win would be massive.

Amirani

I think we at Bohs are probably safe at this point. As a result, I can start hoping that Shels finish above UCD.

Don't suppose we could borrow your players so?

David Scully is on the way as we speak

Don't think I've ever watched a Shels game on TV before!!! I'm a barstooler at last

CSF

Haha I love Dean Kelly

Hows Doyle done for ye? He was a very useful player for us in 2011.

Ok some weeks, not so good other weeks.

Is it one automatically down and then a playoff between 2nd last and 2nd in Div 1 or is there a play off in div 1 between 2nd and 3rd?

There's a play off in the First Division also.

So 12th in Premier is down, 1st in First is up. 11th in Premier then plays the winner of 2nd versus 3rd in the First.

Amirani

Shels looking poor enough so far.

I actually forgot there was a First Division playoff

dan1895

How many more would be at this if it was Saturday?

Amirani

Had forgotten about this commentator on Setanta. Sensationalises the most trivial things. Would be a perfect fit for the Over 70s football in Father Ted.

dan1895

Get in!!!!

Even more now.

ThunbergsAreGo

Awful goal to give away
Made the exact same mistake myself last night

Nice finish, very cool

Amirani

That's shocking really. Important goal for Shels, could be huge.

Amirani

Pitch seems pretty crap, has it been this bad in Cork all season?

CSF

I would say we're deservedly in front.

CSF

Shocking.

Amirani

That's horrendous defending. Really really bad. You must be pulling your hair out CSF.

Amirani

That's a very good finish from Kilduff. Poor defending again though tbh.

pablomakaveli

Beautiful

Oat23

Really want Shels to stay up..that was another ugly goal to concede.

Is it 2-1 to City, wish I wasnt working

Tis indeed. 5 mins til half time.

Peppa Pig

I still can't figure why Rovers allowed Kilduff to go on loan. Also strange that he went to Cork - is he working near there, or something.
It would have been vastly different if Shels had taken him on loan. He's been as good as ever since his move to Cork.

We offloaded our striker to cut the wagebill, no way we were going to be adding to it by paying another's wages.

Shocking collapse from the lads. Some of them should be really ashamed. Murtagh has been awful.

You did it before with Hawkins, Ryan and Crowe and where did it get you?


First division??....


OK!

born2bwild

Just depressing. What kind of defending was that - from the start Caaark were probing in between the CBs; they knew that we were crap there and so it proved.

Yeah Murtagh is awful - he nearly scored though ;(

Really weird not being there by the way - thanks FAI - great way to get more bums on seats - change the fixture a fortnight in advance.

dan1895

Awful defending by shels, as always. Not out of it yet though and we've been creating chances. Kelly and Hanlon are our key players for the second half.
Decent game in fairness.

Oat23

What's the story with Daryl Horgan. Is his contract expiring at the end of the season or do Cork have that wrapped up?

Would love to see him return west.

dan1895

Ffs

Amirani

Finished that well. Looks over for Shels.

pablomakaveli

It'll be a cricket score if it keeps going like this.

CSF

Seriously, get that donkey off the pitch.

Who? Murtagh?
Or is there actually a donkey on the field?

Yes to both.

He's signing for Bray next year.

I'll get my coat.

Get in. If only we had 11 Dean Kellys and less Graham Gartlands.

Peppa Pig

That was a great goal there

I'd just settle for less graham gartlands at the moment.

Symptomatic of the Matthews reign. Another goal his fault. What a horrible centre back.

Amirani

That'll wrap it up.
