Last Friday Night

Last Friday night

Evergreen

Silent

Sat together
As always
Silent

 Jug of Tuborg
Going down
Silent

Smiling faces
All around
Beaming

10 points adrift, we hosted the league leaders Shelbourne last Friday, they had a 100% away record and we went a goal down after 3 minutes.

Cue an amazing comeback to completely blow away Shelbourne 4-1, only for their keeper and the woodwork it would have been 8 or 9.

Picture the scene of a group of grumpy old men sitting in the pub afterwards, not speaking, cos they have nothing to be grumpy about, just drinking and above all else beaming from ear to ear.

This weeks choon

I heard this song on Paul McClunes show the other night and thought what a lovely tune.
Then he told me it was the new single from one of my favourite bands The Drums.
Top Class.

A Club Foras

A Club Foras

My annual reminder

Lads playing a blinder

There are lots still to do

With off the field too

Trojan work done already

To keep our ship steady

Some constants as we grow

Players come and they go

If you can volunteer, do

Pay your subs if they’re due

This is our club, for us

Make sure you’re on the bus

Don’t be left on the shelf

Club won’t run itself

Have a vote and your say

Join FORAS today

My annual reminder to all Cork City fans that as a fan run club we have to keep volunteering and keep supporting both vocally and financially.

FORAS is the name of our supporters trust, its an Irish word meaning development or growth and is pronounced "for-us"

This poem will appear in the League Cup Semi Final programme versus Limerick next Monday night.



Shels spells.

Shels spells.

The call it came,

When’s our next game?

 A two week break?

For goodness sake

One defeat gleaned

From our nineteen

Still slightly miffed

Ten points adrift

This is our chance

To take a stance

We’ll cast some spells

On evil Shels

Let’s take no crap

And bridge that gap

The big one this Friday, Shelbourne at home.
It's not even so much about bridging the gap but we have to keep winning.
