In Spanish, Concha (sp???) means shell. My friend who went to college in Madrid had a friend called Concha (a hotty spaniard girl..aren't they all hot?). She was quite upset when she holidayed in Mexico!!!

That's Kearney.

In fairness to Garry Doyle, City had a lot of possession in the middle third, but rarely used it to push forward. Having had so much possession, it might be hard to acknowledge City didn't carry much of an attacking threat, but it is the case.

ya but it does seem a bit like he didn't go to the go and just reported what the usual performance in Europe is for an Irish club .

Usual performance for an Irish club. Based on the standards of 10 years ago maybe, but certainly not based on the standards of the past 5 years. I'd say he was at the game though. Even if he wasn't though, he could have watched it on TV.

Yeah, the only thing cork didnt do was put the ball into the back of the net. They lacked that something in the final third but at the end of the day they couldnt commit too many people forward because Djurgardens was set up to hit Cork on the break and if Djurgardens scored then Cork had to score two.

If it is Everton I hope everyone goes out and supports Cork.

If they get Everton will the game be played at the Cross? Are there alternatives if not?

Unfortunatley, I think that it would be in Dublin, as the Cross isnt up to scratch. Financially though, City would make the proverbial killing.

I wonder if Roy Keane was watching and if he was what he thought of it all

If they do happen to get Everton they'd certainly get a decent attendance at Landsdowne, dare I say even more than Shels got vs Deportivo. The whole league would be out to support them.

Except Jonny68 by the sounds of it.

Töpher

Damn straight. And if they got Everton I could forsee many eircom League supporters making the short trip accross the water, just as many did to go to Deportivo.

jubbly

Yeah Everton would have to be the cheapest team to play, just take the ferry from dublin. It might be a good draw considering everything.

applehunter

Cork City playing a home match in Dublin.

No way. :mad:

Töpher

Unfortunately it may be the only solution. Cork were clearly breaching UEFA regulations last night, and they may ban Turners Cross from use. In this case where else would you suggest?

The draw is on Eurosport at 12 o'clock.

We can get 1 of 5

Everton
Hamburg
Slavia Pargue
Auxere or
PAOK FC (Greece)

Id like Prague. That would be a good trip.

Everton would probably be the cheapest. But they and Hamburg look to be the tough teams.

soma

Interest in, and attendence at, a home game v Everton would be huge. If that came to pass, If it was switched to landsdowne road the only irritating thing would be the thought of irish liverpool supporters turning up just to taunt & sing loverpool songs.

From a qualifying perspective, Im guessing prague or PAOK would be cork supporters' preference..?

A great result for Cork last night. This will help to put the LOI on the map. I only saw glimpses of the last 20 mins of this match. Dju seemed to have most of he ball in that time but didnt create anything open, although there was always a risk they would nick a goal. From what I read, Cork could have equally nicked a goal thorughout the match.

Well done Cork!

Big Ears

If Cork do have to aplay in Landsdowne Road (which seems inevitable) the the majority of tickets better go on sale in Cork , it would be downright unfair if anyone who is a regualr supporter and/or was at the match last night didn't get to go .

gimmick

^ There would be no fear of that anyways. Id assume 10000 tickets would be sent to Cork straight away.

The last 10 minutes were torture, but in a strange way, I knew we were completely comfortable.

Töpher

Slavia Prague are their next opponents.

MrJoeSoap

Prague have a pretty intimidating UEFA Cup record of Played 70, won 31, drawn 16.

They have had a number of players capped at international level for the Czech Republic.

In 1996 Slavia qualified to the UEFA Cup semi-final, and in 1997 to the UEFA Cup Winner´s Cup quarter-finals and in 1999 to UEFA Cup quarter-finals.

They beat Celta Vigo at home by 2-0, but had already lost the first leg 3-0.

Big Ears

Bad draw for Cork IMO , its neither a glamour tie or an easy tie .

jubbly

I think there will be a right bit of cash going Corks way. I also think that cork can beat this team, they have away advantage first which is always good to have.

Roar

they also beat us in the competition back in 94/95, ironically enough when rico was in chrage.

Kingp35

That’s a tough draw for Cork but it is certainly a team that they have a chance of progressing past. The away leg first is a huge advantage for Cork and if they can come back from that no more than a goal down they will have a huge crowd cheering them on in Ireland and I feel they can do it. They were simply excellent last night and played some fantastic football.

Im quietly optimistic about this tie.

jubbly

Cork should continue with their style of play. I dont think they should be going to Prague looking to lose the match by one goal or scraping a draw. They should treat it like any other game and try to win it. I just hope the cork players will continue playing the way they normally do and not try and defend for 90 minutes.

Well done City on getting through...

Sooner or Later

Congrats to Cork...great performance.

Phsycology took its toll in the last few minutes. Corks main objective was not to concede, Djurgarden had to score. That meant Cork were creaping deaper and deaper into their own half and Dju were attacking. Other than the end of the match Cork were by far the better team.

bohsman

congrats to Cork an all that but I just want to know how they have made history, fair enough knocking out a Swedish team is good but Shels reached the 1st round proper last year and Bohs did I think 3 years ago beating Kaiserslautern away in the 1st round proper

jubbly

Yeah, thats right Bohsman. I think RTE got it all Pete Tong. I think Bohs got that 1.666 co efficent 5 years ago (or something like that) and this season we had to get some great results so we wouldnt drop a sh1t load of places in the co-efficent league.

Big Ears

We lost the Bohs coefficiants for this season and dropped two places because of it . We should rise again though after some good results this year .

If only Longford hadn't..................... :mad: .

Don't know about making history but Cork are the only Irish team to get past the 2 qualifying rounds and into the UEFA cup proper. Maybe that's what RTE are talking about?

how did bohs do it then ?

It was only 1 qualifying round then.

I can remember them playing back then but I cant remember the rounds , the teams etc.

Not a mention about Shelbourne. Its like we have evaporated. Those games against Lille and Deportivo seem like a decade ago.

Well at least Irish sides have broken the mould and reached the 3rd round of the Champions league and 1st round proper of the UEFA Cup. So its defintely a raising of standards.

Agreed, but this simply HAS to continue over a number of seasons so we can show it isn't just a fluke.
