Fans of every single team give stick to opposition players. It always amuses me how touchy some fans get when those players give it back. It's football lads, get over it.

Just out of interest, how much whinging did Cork fans do when Bradley said a few negative things about your club??

I couldn't give too craps myself what McNulty does or says and I doubt any of the Dundalk players will either. Although he displays a lack of class or professionalism this only reflects on Cork.
I'm more shocked at Cork fans embracing this rather than being embarrassed about it but then again I've seen the flying of the Confederate flag, racist abuse of Ogbene and Rogers getting hit with a bottle being defended by their fans across social media so maybe I should just put it down to the usual claim of #bants

Didn't McNulty ring some of the Dundalk players after the cup final when he was locked last year too? He really does lack class.

Right, just going to nip this piece of bullsh*t in the bud. No, McNulty didn't ring any Dundalk player after the final last season. One City fan rang one Dundalk player. The Dundalk player presumably told him to **** off, hung up and carried on preparing for their Europa League match.

After the night, that turned into McNulty ringing one Dundalk player and now I see it's turned into Dundalk players, plural. What next, McNulty personally called to the houses of multiple Dalk players to abuse and threaten them?

Presumably you've filtered out the majority of opinions that were negative to these isolated incidents, because it doesn't suit your argument. Ya know the way like a few Dundalk fans lobbing golf balls at opposition fans or intentionally breaking seats in away ends doesn't mean that all are scum?

Don't mind McNulty mentioning Dundalk again just adds to the rivalry.

I've seen Dundalk fans do worse than that over the years but you certainly wouldn't see me or most other Dundalk fans defending their actions. I'm just surprised that the Cork fans that post here and usually display common sense on most matters are so quick to defend the ramblings of the village idiot. If this was a Dundalk player I'd be embarrassed not only that he did it but also that he was unable articulate something more impressive than 'f**k the rebels'

Not too fussed about what players do as long as there's no real damage done. Keeps us entertained when there's no game on.

The entire county or just the 120,000 in the city?

justshane

I would be surprised if any Dundalk player in a title celebration speech made any negative reference to any other team. No big deal though, Mark seems a bit of an idiot so wouldn't hold it against him or obviously not Cork fans.

Is that the same Foras that Dundalk fans were begging for help off in 2012? The same Foras who travelled up to Dundalk to give advice and support to in the wake of the serious trouble at your club? Or are you one of the lads who started supporting in 2014 so you dont know about all the help Dundalk received, not even just from Cork, from all over the LOI? Pipe down you are coming across as bitter.

I dont really give a crap what McNulty sang, he obviously does not like Dundalk and to be honest its refreshing to see a player just come out and say it, least it makes it interesting instead of the "we'll concentrate on ourselves" bull****. Poor pettles up the North East must be something in the air, see ye on Sunday lads.

Tobi to Cork. Failing upwards is what you call that I believe.

I'm coming across as bitter??? Where did I criticise forus. They did a great job in keeping LOI football alive in Cork and got their reward this season. Fair play to them.

You call people in the northeast poor pettels when some have criticised what McNulty said? Have a look at your own post when one Dundalk fan critised Cork fans, poor pettel.....

Doesn't the McNulty thing just fit in with the whole cork city mindset? Their fans normally always seem happier when things go wrong for another club than they did at winning anything themselves.

That Cork City mentioned on the forum alarm must have went off you've popped up again. Sure, we are delighted at misery for another club than actually winning the title ourselves. Nice one :P.

McNulty shot JFK. It was in the files released during the week.

johnnyryan89

Could you blame McNulty for being upset with Preston, they got Maguire for a steal and the league would have been wrapped up months ago if he didn't leave

Potentially a good footballer, likely never to get there though. **** attitude.

Missed more games this season having been dropped for discipline reasons than any player I ever remember.

If the thing with the bus is true it's obvious now why if he is indeed gone to Cork. He was thinking "ah sure I have a contract lined up already. Why listen to what Lyttle says?".

Horrible attitude for a footballer. Not that Fridays incident changed my previous opinion in any way. I didn't want him re-signed since the video incident.

If he was focused on football he could have got a good move back to the UK this winter and be playing international football.

They took particular issue with him saying if you stop Maguire you stop Cork, which turned out to be completely wrong when he left as Cork thrived in his absence...

The way Bradley talks about other teams sometimes you'd swear he was managing a team on top of the league rather than finishing 22 points behind the actual winners.

Whats the story with him? Cant say I know anything about him before being linked with us.

He had a very good first season for us, was linked with Crystal Palace last winter. This year he came back and just never looked like he gave a ****. Discipline under Robertson was non-existent and himself and his buddy Mathew Stephens took full advantage of that. He was regularly seen in bars the night before games and performances were awful. Then the sex tape incident which was well publicised. After that he was dropped for a few games and came back slightly improved.

Last Friday, allegedly, he asked for permission to travel seperately the game, as he wanted to take a ferry immediately after, this was denied. So he deliberately missed the bus and drove up anyway. That's why he wasn't in the squad on Friday.

I doubt there's a single person sorry to see the back of him to be honest.

Sounds like a great fella, be interesting to see how Caulfield handles him if he does come down.

That's him dropped for the final!

Where would Dundalk fans see Shep fitting in? I presume on the wing, he has really struggled up front and not for lack of chances either. He's a real asset on the wing though, would Connolly be under pressure for his place already?

Paz-CCFC

Some crowd out to see the Champions this afternoon. Nearly 1,700 for a training session is unreal. The queue for Cup Final tickets looked to stay the same for about an hour before letting up, hopefully a sign that we'll have a bigger crowd up than we did last year. Season tickets (and general merchandise) on sale too, so hopefully we've managed to pick up a few new ST holders for next year.

Hard to say. I suppose it depends who we lose this season. If we keep everyone it'll be places up for grabs.
Our bench was much weaker this season and I'd imagine Kenny will bring in a few to rectify this. We were unable to bring anyone on to change a game like we did in previous seasons. Having that little bit of class on the bench can make a massive difference especially when the team isn't playing well.

Were the fans who turned up made aware that Cork City were playing a Women's National League game at Bishopstown afterwards? I had hoped there would be a big crowd for that game.

With the results today, the WNL is set up for the title-deciding game between Wexford Youths Women and Peamount United, 4/11/17 at Ferrycarrig Park at 7.30pm

Out of interest, how come the WNL team still use Youths in the name?

Strictly speaking it's an entirely separate club, so there was no requirement to re-name. At some point, the two will hopefully come under the same club. Where the resistance to it happening is coming from, I don't really know.

Speaking of which, Maguire didn't get a sniff in Terryland in May and we were the first team to take points off them as a result probably.

Likely comes down to money. Would draw from Wexford FC budget.

It could be something to do with protecting the womens team In the case of the mens team going to the wall. To protect any assets the women's team has potentially?

Vemmelund leaving Dundalk after the cup final because its basically a boring kip.

Stephen Kenny was on the 98FM League of Ireland podcast yesterday and said he did. He wasn't impressed at all by McNulty's behaviour. As for Vemmelund he's been good for us and he'll be missed but I don't think he's a huge loss. He's had quite a few patchy games for us this season. Started off pretty slowly and then came into his own around July. Was brilliant against Rosenberg over there but a couple of niggling injuries over the last couple of months has seen him tail off a bit.

If McNulty behaved in that way then it's low-life stuff and not the actions or behaviour of a professional. Let the game and his club down big time.

MD1990

Don't think Vemmelund will start on sunday now.

Very foolish to come out with those comments before a Cup final.

He is a good player excellent against Rosenberg but not as good as he thinks he is. There is a lack of good CB's in the LOI in general though.

I'm not saying Wexford FC can't afford it, just that I think it would be very likely to have an effect on their finances.

Not good as a full back but decent further up. looks like he just wants play closer to home . Wouldn't bet against Rosenberg.

McLoughlin is the referee on Sunday, mixed feelings on this, TBH.

As Darkglasses has said, it is a contentious issue. My personal opinion (and it is just that) is that the ladies team have no desire to join the main body of the club. Until every team has the same name, jersey and crest (another club problem), I can't bring myself to have any empathy with the ladies team.
