Cork win over Dublin vital to reinforce Euro bid

AFTER a week in which Cork City was forced to issue a statement insisting that its squad was fully united, manager Pat Dolan still needs a victory over Premier Division strugglers Dublin City tonight.

Following George O’Callaghan’s outburst last week when he criticised the passion of the team and insisted he was unhappy at Turners Cross. Dolan was forced into the public realm to insist nothing out of the ordinary had happened during the week, from his point of view. “It was a very ordinary week. People don’t always get on at football clubs, but you just get on with it,” he said.

“People are always going to be unhappy when they are not in the team and I don’t have a problem with that, but they must be professional and everyone must pull in the same direction.
