Think it is going under the radar how good a season Cobh Ramblers are having and the job Shane Keegan has done with Cobh Ramblers this season. 3rd place in First Division and 10pts clear of 6th in the race for playoff spot. Huge progress made there from 2022.

Can fully understand why Katie McCabe would be frustrated . All this is coming on the eve of Ireland women’s national team playing at a World Cup for the very first time. Really hope players are left to focus on what is going to be the biggest few weeks of their careers
Katie McCabe frustrated as the pre match press conference is dominated by allegations over Vera Pauw, rather than talk of the final game on home soil for the Irish team against France this evening in Tallaght Stadium, which should be a joyous occasion in front of a sold out

As heartbreaking as tonight was, losing 21 league games out of 36 is relegation form. Lack of clarity over permanent manager at Cork City for most of the season don't think helped either. Really is going to be a massive off season for the club now, rebuilding in 1st Division.

If there was someone you could describe as Mr Cork City FC, it was John Kennedy. He lived for the football club.
Was an absolute gentleman. Travelled on a few of the buses he organised for away City games over the years and honestly was one of the kindest men you could meet.
Lifelong Cork City fan, John Kennedy has sadly passed away.
I've never known a more dedicated, die hard Cork City man, he was Cork City FC.
My thoughts go out to the family, friends & all involved at Cork City FC.
We've lost a good one.
