Quotehavent beaten them for 3 seasons(opening day 2002). what a night. flynny and georgie scoring on their debuts..
need to beat them soon or else it could go on for a long long time
What do people think about 2 extra games against Shels in the Setanta Cup?
Not winning the league last year boiled down to not beating Shels in the league.
Really hope we beat them once cos if we don't people will be saying "They're your bogey team" and there will be even more pressure on for the league games against them.
I think the players would be delighted to beat them just to get that monkey off their back.
I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?

Last time City beat them was in fact November 2002 at the Cross 2-1. If memory serves Greg got the opener and ran to the dug out to celebrate the goal with Gunther, after a few fans held a Murphy Out banner up at the previous game in Belfield. Flynny got the winner with a penalty (well he won the penalty, cant remember who scored it).Originally Posted by thecorner
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
Our games against Shels will, in all likelihood, define our season.
Which, given our recent history against them could be a scary thought
shameful behaviour altogether
life is random
Yes, one of THE best nights at the Cross............ball never left the deck and Shels were lucky to get the nil.
And the manager was.............Gunther!
As it stands, providing we don't meet Shels in any of the domestic cups, we're only playing them once more than last season.
Each of the teams will meet 3 times in the league this season.
I'd prefer to be playing Shels than teams like Waterford, St. Pat's or Rovers.
Shels are the club we must aim to beat.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Couldn't agree more. If only knerw who they were.shameful behaviour altogether
I hate watching shel$ as they bore teams into submission.
happy days when the chant was "its just like watching brazil"
I think demoralisation will be the key factor - shels will more than likely edge out cork - wins or draws, whatever - actually the more I think of it with their new signings and your financial problems they may trash you. It will be devastating - I cant see City competing with that unless wallace has more than 700 euros in his piggybank
havent seen one ounce of proof that we have financial problems so until i do...its business as usual
go on a buying spree and i might believe it - unfortunately ure shedding key staff and aside from doyle - who looks the part you dont have enough elite players who win leagues
As sure as night follows day, we get a post from wws as he continues to indulge his enduring obssession with all things Cork City....
I suppose it enlivens the endless tedium and demoralisation of being a fan of a joke club like SPA.....Anything to say on your upcoming relegation battle?...
well done Patsh - the issue here is how can second place cork overcome shels
facts
1)shels have added to their squad with proven quality - cork have not
2)shels have a league winning back room team- cork have lost all theirs
3)cork have posed no problems to shels in recent head to heads - a draw the best they could muster - even pats managed that ffs!
4)you have publicised money issues - and cant pick up a tab at UL
argue on the facts and I might take you seriously
This is allegedly the season earmarked as the league winning one by the cork boss after two fruitless years in charge
I'd like to know what basis there is for optimism?
You just go on believing that all you like but it won't make it come true and it won't make up for the pathetic state your own club is in.
Champions!
Dubya Dubya Esssss, I'll do a deal with you. You worry about Pats and I'll worry about City, it does seem to be taking up a lot of your time. Im sure you could use the free time to organise better do's for your Club. I mean a 75th party in the snug of McDowells. Or maybe you could spend all the free time working out how Cork City got 12 points off Pats this season.
Christ you could even spend all your Cork City/Dolan obsession time figuring out why Eamon Collins didnt turn Pats into a World Super Power.
Thanks for calling in
Oh no not them again
"argue on the facts and I might take you seriously"...
Some of us might take you seriously if you weren't so eager to jump in with your ridiculous comments every time some unsubstantiated rumour happens to suit your anti-Cork City/Dolan agenda.
You and your other obssessed cronies on the SPA "fans" mb spend more time talking about Cork City with snide and childish comments than you do about your own "club".
Pat Dolan has left SPA. GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON.
As regards your "analysis" of City v $hels, they are ahead of us on and off the field. It is up to us to catch them, and we are trying to do that.
Of course, everything is relative. SPA aim for the season is hoping to avoid relegation. City's aim is to win the league. Which club has real problems?
SOC
well he did the trick at shels
a trick pat dolan hasnt managed with cork
I counter a lot of the mindless optimism about Corks prospects with a few cold facts - as per above - If you wanna tear those points to shreds with a decent case of your own than feel free - I've yet to read an intelligent reading of corks prospects on the field based on anything other than "we're a great club, big attendances" type drivel
but spare me the "obssession" line - the equivilant of "i give up, he's got us there"

1. You don't "counter" anything.
2. You don't know how to recognise "an intelligent reading" of anything. You have never made one, so "intelligent reading" is a novel and uncharted area for you.
3. I actually do "give up, you've got me there". What can one say to mindless drivel from someone who cannot spell "debate", never mind one hold one?
have Cork strengthened their squad in line with shels?
simple question
