Djurgardens vs Cork City

applehunter

Its a rare event when Cork City do not at least remain competitive in Euro competitions.

From B. Munich to Nantes, Cork City have always held their own.

I think they can get a draw in Sweden tonight. Id take a 0-0, but a score draw would be even better. City are missing George O'Callaghan so we will rely heavily on O'Dononvan and Kearney down the wings if we are going to get a goal.

Prediction Djurgardens 1-1

Neil Fenn to score

gimmick

I almost never go in for predictions as I feel I jinx things, so Ill not start now.

I have a feeling though, that Djurgardens are underestimating City somewhat, as They may feel that City are overconfident after beating Malmo last season.

Should be a close game, and the tie will be alive and kicking come the 2nd leg.

With Citys away form so far this season, who is to say it wont continue tonight!?

1-0 Cork

11-1 on a 1-0 not bloody bad altho Dju are 1-3 to win and Cork 13-2 decent odds but dunno anything about Dju.

Hopefully they can sneak an away goal and maybe sneak the first leg. Shame its not on any tv station. It isnt even on any swedish satellite channels from what I can see. Might be a feed hopefully for it.

gimmick

^ if you see or hear of a feed please let me know.

Cheers

I think Cork City can do enough to get something from tonights game, as the OP said, they are always competitive in European matches.

I'm very surprised that RTE aren't showing this match.

MrJoeSoap

Best of luck Cork. Hopefully they'll put themselves in a decent position for the 2nd leg.

kensutz

Jonno's gonna torment the Cork defense. Hopefully I can get to the leg at Turners Cross. 3-0 Djurgardens

Djurgarden 2-1 Cork is my prediction , although I would still give Cork a very good chance to go through the tie .

gimmick

1-0 City.

Get In!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on City!!

Yessss.

How did I miss this?

Ignore my thread then, sorry about that.

Great start.

Big Ears

Fenn with the goal , great start .

gimmick

Sounds a cracker. Im told both teams should have scored since the opener.

Ill be quite happy with 0 - 1 thank you very much!

KdjaCL

Me and my €3@11-1 will be damn happy with 1-0 to Cork.

Just had a call from Sweden. Apparently by the looks of things there will be goals, possibly for both teams. Both had cahnces. O Flynn and Kearney going close, blocked on the line.

Djurgardens getting jeered by their own fans at this point. COME ON!!!

HT 1 - 0

Game over.

Great result. Pity they had to equalise in such a soft fashion. But this tie is very much alive.

_blank_

Think it's over now.

Fair play to Cork City, away goal will do them good for the second leg, and they can even afford to draw 0-0.

Apparently it was a quite open game, so I can see them scoring in the return.

I know the late equaliser was gutting, but come one, if a 1-1 was offered before the game you'd have bitten off the hand.

Well done.

KdjaCL

Well fcuk that,getting bus to inchicore morrow so

Oh well done Cork i suppose.

1-1 was a good result if a little disappointing in the way it came about. All to play for in the second leg and George O'Callaghan will be back.

KdjaCL

Linfield drew 1-1 away also decent result.

Great result.

Co-efficient now 1.666. Many thanks CCFC

Hopefully they'll get the chance to get a club co-efficient and guarantee seeding next year for themselves! Fingers crossed they get through, with a non-insane draw next round I think we could be seeing the first ever Irish team to qualify for a group stage...

Cheers feen, and delighted that I am so right. Great result tonight and without George O'Callaghan too.

Tonight's match is minor compared to the Shels match on Monday night.

6/7000 people willing on our heroes. With the good feeling after beating Clare on Sunday nothing will be able to stop us.

I cant wait!!!

wheres me jumpa

well done cork. i made a few comments in the "how to improve the eircom league" thread really this is one of the best ways to attract neutral viewers like myself, by getting good results against big teams in big competitions.

so well done to to cork and their fans.

Does anyone know if Mattias Jonson played tonight for Djurgardens

Dan Murray and Benno kept him quiet enough and he was replaced at half time.

He was a bit abit off the pace according to reports. I think the Sweedish league is in full flow at the moment.

kensutz

Thanks just wanted to know if it's worth making a trip down for the leg at Turners Cross to see how he gets on

Id say he will be playing for the 2nd leg. Thats a fortnight away. he'll be much fitter by then.

Now, getting a ticket will be the problem!

Well Done Cork. You are keeping the Irish flag flying.
Now dont go and blow it all by losing 0-1 at home
or drawing 1-1 and going out on peno's.

gimmick

^ Im sure Damien Richardson will take that bit of advice. He may not have thought of it in the first place.

well got back from the game late last night.. just a couple of things that struck me

-the pitch was HUGE!! massive! we looked a bit lost at times on it i had to say..

- some of Djurgardens passing was fantastic, they certainly applied a lot of pressure.. that being said.. they didnt create many chances...

- Neal Fenn is an aboslute star.. his first touch and awareness is amazing.. at one stage a long ball from danny murphy found fenny on the edge of the box, his first touch took himover the massive centre half, he chested and volleyed just over from a stupidly tight angle.. not the fastest player in the world but he makes up for that with everything else..

- Our keeper Mick Devine.. mick devine he clears our lines HEY MICKEY!.. you could see why he got the nod despite tbeing out for four weeks.. taking his time with every kick out... he eventually got booked... slowing down the game at every opportunity.. made some fantastic saves too.. at the very last minute a shot was trickling over.. got back to palm the ball away, i still dont know how he did it.. my heart was in my mouth

-Rico got it spot on, not afraid to go forward and attack, full backs over lapping.. thought greg o'halloran and joe gamble played very, very well, and the back four were solid enough, alan bennett was aboslutely amazing, the most underrated player in the league? magic, absolutely magic

so the returtn leg in a fortnight.. dunno how rico will approach this one.. will he attack, will he sit back? i dont think he can afford to sit back when djurgardens can take someone like Ibrahim Ba off the bench... erra we'll see.. just going to enjoy last nihgts result for a while now anyway

Just looking at the teams in the hat for next round, some cracking teams in there.

You would have to want Boro or Bolton just for the money or Hibs if you want to get tru.

:eek: Some really cracking teams there alright !! Cork wont be seeded to they will more than likely be facing one of the above. Is that right or do they take Djurgardens co-efficent ?

I hope cork can make up the points in their co-efficient so all the EL teams are seeded next season

gimmick

^ Should City progress, they will not take Djurgardens seeding Im afraid.

soma

Great result for cork & the league.

Fingers cross they don't blow it at home.. some extremely tough teams in the next round draw if they make it that far, but it would be amazing to see them in the group stages.

Here's hoping a packed-out turner's cross & a much smaller pitch will make it intimidating for the swedes..

_blank_

Would Cork City making the Group Stage be good or bad for Irish football?

I mean, imagine the money they will make there, with that they could go on and dominate Irish football for years to come, it would be a disaster for one team to dominate while the other twenty one struggle financially in their cloud of smoke they leave trailing as they continue to qualify for European comeptitions with the players they can buy and pay.

gimmick

^ Facetious jerk

If City made the group stages there would be no close season. That couldnt be good for the teams chances next season.

Anyway, its pie in the shy. Lots of football to be played against Djurgardens yet!
