Cork reporter says this is Cork's youth team

[martonrover]

Why? Because their starting eleven is so much better than ours?

You are overlooking the fact that they, unlike certain clubs ;-), are not run like a pub team

Their 1st team has a league game tomorrow acc to Cryer.

[Ossydave]

Unbelievable you could get 10/1 on this match for them to win, I didn't take it up though.

Is this classed as one of his 3 games? Wishful thinking.

[Roverdale]

1-1

Richards

Then why care about our team sheet at all? All teams that take us on should just not prepare at all and assume they will win because we are run like a pub team.

[Tom]

Who is Richards I can't think

[RibbleValleyRover]

Who is Richards I can't think

Kazim Richards

[Tom]

Of course d'oh

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Cryer - Great goal. Back heel from Mauro to Orr, his cross volleyed home by Kazim-Richards.

Rovers.co.uk - 17 MINS: GOAL! Great goal, great move, ball into Kazim-Richards from Scott Dann, he plays it to Formica who back heels it wide to Orr, his centre is met acrobatically by Kazim who volleys into the net. Cork City 1 Rovers 1

_{Looks like we are struggling against Corks youth team! Oh dear}

[braddock]

Looking forward to seeing some more Orr crosses this season.

[The Rover of Finland]

No clean sheet?? There won´t be a lot of those coming either, will there? The clown just can´t organize.

[Roverdale]

2-1

Richards again from Nunes cross

[Hasta]

3-1

[Ossydave]

Celebration sounds amusing for MGP's goal haha

[Roverdale]

Hahaha after all this talk about Pedersens dead ball delivery and the quality of his free kicks he goes and scores one. Not to mention the whole 'pensioner' debate. Bet he has a bit of a chuckle to himself after that

[Ossydave]

Perhaps it will be the kick up the backside he needed!

Rochina injured, Petrovic and Simon visa blueprint to sort

Rochina has a hamstring injury, doubtful for next week.

The other part sounds interesting, is this visa problems in UK or Ireland?

[Hekla]

I actually think that starting line up looked strong, even with Rochina, Vukcevic and Petrovic to come back.

I thought it looked fairly ordinary even for a championship side TBH. I imagine the centre half pairing could be strong at this level and Etuhu should shine but the rest don't strike me as a side that would finish top 2 even taking Coco out of the equation.

[Steve Kean's Hypnotoad]

This is a professional football club we're talking about

Debatable.

[alexanders]

Finished?

[neophox]

With Murphy, olsson and Vukcevic we will be better. Dont forget a striker i soon.

[Hasta]

Murphy and Vukcevic I accept will improve the side and if it had Best & Rhodes up front then it would start looking very strong.

The problem is if I look at the side that got us promoted last time from the Championship I would say it was better than this and that side only did it by finishing second with 1 game to spare. The 2001 side had players on an upward curve whose careers looked like they would go on to greater things. I'd say that doesn't apply to any of the side that started today.
