Football and style mean nothing here ourrr! It's all about how many Cork will bring and the on thread poll ;)we're pretty handy but dont let that get in the way.We're "rattled"

It's unlikely to come down to style, it certainly hasn't in the past couple of games. All the goals Dundalk scored mean nothing now.

I know Cork are mentally strong and physically strong enough and are in form..it's whether Dundalk and what Dundalk turn up..

How is it laughable when most bookies have Cork down as favourites?

I think a mentally strong Dundalk team will be on show and on form this Friday.This is our home ground don't forget.& A pitch we love :P also.

Well you said the pitch was worth extra points to us, Its clearly not since we have a better away record since it was installed

Well if you go back to Stephen Kennys first press conference, he said we would win the league within 3 years, so judging by you saying Cork who are 1 point clear with 1 game to go are under no pressure, then technically either are we as this is only year 2

Absolute scutter! Look at the poll. Boards.ie's soccer posters expects Cork to win it. Pressure is huge. In the eyes of this soccer forum the title is yours. Boards expects. It's up to your lot not to soil their nappies. If Cork lose you will weep like a little baby girl. 'Anything else is a bonus' my hoop!

Jesus I didnt think the rattle job was that bad up in north County Louth.

Enjoy the build up lads, this is what its all about.

JC has worked wonders with the team but hes only starting his project so I'm sure he woulda have taken second at the start of the season. This isn't Celtic V Rangers either lads everyone with a ticket will be left in accent or no accent!!

Ah so you are basing who is the better team solely on games against Rovers then. Ignoring the other 50 odd games we've played this season. EA Sports Cup champions. Setanta Cup Finalists. A decent run in Europe. And with a chance of winning the league this Friday. Also we have played Rovers eight times this year and lost just once (winning four). Face it we are the better team.

In fairness you should be glad he's ignoring all the other league matches. Your second.

I wouldn't say we are favourites at all, you say that as if it's a certainty. Ridiculous. I would say it's pretty even. How can a home team who haven't lost at home and won almost all the rest not be considered favourites or at the least, even odds. Not to mention won 4-0 in the same fixture.

Who's on the injury list for Cork on Friday? Serious question.

1. What???

2. Ross Gaynor was in a protective boot last Friday, he will be a huge loss although some lads saw him walking around fine yesterday at Bishopstown when queuing for tickets so it might have just been precautionary. Gearoid Morrissey was a 50/50 before the Bohs game but they kept him out, so hopefully he'll be ok. Colin Healy usually doesnt play on yer pitch cause its no good for his knees, but I'd fully expect him to be starting.

How are ye looking?

That we are Corholio. That we are. Luckily for us the season consists of 33 games so we have a wee game on Friday night to put that right.

Dundalk fans are so rattled they're colluding with the Guards to keep Cork fans out of town. Rattled.

Pighead

Cork City

Just the six Dundalk players in the PFAI team of the year.
Gannon, Boyle, Gartland, Towell, Horgan and Hoban.

CHealy

How many of that 6 will still be at the club next year? Honest question. There has to be high interest from England for most of them.

Gartland, Gannon, Hoban and Horgan I'm fairly sure will still be with us. Two months ago I would have said it was likely that Towell and Boyle would go but now I'm not so sure.

The boo boys in the shed probably would've spooked Gaynor anyway so no gain(nor) for us if he is out injured.

Dundalk reporting no injuries so far apart from long term absentees David McMillan and Simon Kelly. thats it i hope.

I think with SOD back it will free up that pair could become more influential again.(Towell & Gannon).Horgan is flying and Garts is a monster at the back but just hasn't been finding range for goals from set-pieces lately. Well not as much as his his earlier season form anyhow.Hoban could go anywhere,i'm surprised nobody in England has picked him up tbh.

Its still a advantage.

no other team plays on that surface.

winning more matches away does not change that.

Great cross by Meenan for Hoban's goal v Bray. Has he (Meenan) been playing consistently well for Dundalk this season?
I've seen him play a few times and he looked decent each time.

Meenan is an immense player for us.He was discarded by a few clubs because of his temperament,but once SK & the lads down here in Dundalk fired him up and got rid of that bad fire he has become some player.Great engine,strong in tackles.Some winger,pace to burn,haircut not so good!

I voted for Cork in the Poll, but only because I had to choose one, But TBH I'm not really bothered either way, just hope it's a cracker of a game and there's no moaning about dodgy pitches or decisions afterwards.

You mean before the game? If so they generally tend to go into Kennedy's Bar. It's directly across from the train station and less than a 5 minute walk to Oriel Park.
