ON THE ROAD - CORK CITY

[@matts7611]

Thanks smiv for covering Irish football . Unfortunately most people here support English teams and don’t follow our own league even the main tv broadcaster here only shows a few games a year but these videos help grow the league and encourage people to get off their sofa and support their local clubs . Your welcome back anytime to Ireland and would highly recommend the Dublin derby beetween shamrock rovers and bohemians. 🇮🇪 ☘️

[@BALHAM69]

What is your surname? 😂

[@itistempest]

Can hardly blame people for supporting English leauges when we dont even have a TV deal, which is great for the locals to them because a Shamrock Rovers season ticket is only 20 quid but to watch a game its literally impossible

[@matts7611]

@@itistempest it’s not a one or the other you can support an Irish team and English team like most league of Ireland fans do but with RTE rarely showing a league of Ireland game it’s very hard for the league to grow

[@fernandoflynn]

@@itistempest to add to this, most places don't have a local team to support. Each county has a GAA teams but not a local LOI team

[@charliehunter794]

Same in Northern Ireland which is a shame because there is so much potential in both leagues.

[@thehairykiwi100]

I haven't lived in Ireland for 11 years and haven't been back to Turner's Cross in all that time. This genuinely brought a tear to the eye. Fair play lad for making it over and delighted you picked the best team in the country to go and watch!

[@roboregan887]

my late grandad was one of the founders of this club and to see it get the recognition we deserve especially after a tough period means the world thank you smiv 💚

[@fazeneymar7826]

Really

[@callum2547]

Honestly this was a top quality atmosphere, you love to see it, and most of the crowd looked like young lads too which suggests a brighter future for Irish football. Maybe it was just the older generation that neglected Irish football and supported English teams instead and the current generation are about to revive it?

[@smivadee]

That would be great!

[@lorenzobalestri5596]

I love Ireland and the Irish people so much! Their love for beer is unrivalled, my sister (who doesn't like alcoholic beverages) got a lovely talking-to by two 80 years old gentlemen because she was drinking water while eating in a pub in Killarney... But, for a non-native english speaker, understanding what Ryan said at 2:49 is a pretty tough challenge 😂

[@nathanthegoalkeeper4297]

Thanks Smiv for going to Cork City the best team in the world!

[@crh84]

Always welcome back smiv bud🇮🇪🤝 our attendance was our lowest all year as the match was clashing with the Munster rugby game which definitely took a bit off the usual atmosphere. Thank you for promoting our league ☘️

[@nathanadams6283]

Cork City FC have the best fans in World Football! I saw a game at Turner's Cross back in 2018 while I was studying abroad in Ireland. Even with the traveling expenses factored in, the game was still a bargin! The city of Cork is a hidden gem, and it is 1,000% better than Dublin! If anyone who reads the comment ever gets the chance to go to Cork I would urge you to take it. Absolutely amazing city.

Thanks for highlighting our league Smiv. I can’t understand why more UK based fans don’t pop over in the summer time (summer league & all that). Less of the Oirish accent though, that takes away from your video, imho.

[@NcWcN1]

Wanted to attend a Bohs match in May but for what I originally was going to Ireland went sour due to unforeseen circumstances (and the vacation money got spent elsewhere needed). Certainly will try again next year, and would also like to add a GAA game for good measure.

[@edmccricket9358]

If your other camera takes ages to come back through the lost and found process, make sure to add a 'where's my old camera now' section to the OTR until it turns up. For 1 to give the airline a bollocking for their stupid policy & 2 to add ever increasingly far fetched tongue in cheek 'guesses' as to where it is. Game looked class though and the content for the episode still did it justice.

[@SoDaFiiZzGaming]

We appreciate the commitment you put into these Smiv, honestly ❤️

[@fernandoflynn]

I'd say LOI Premier would be on par with mid table League 1. Especially with the amount of young players being snapped up by clubs at that level & above. First Division, depends on the teams but League 2 to mid table Conference.

Pretty true

I've just started supporting Cork City as I live here. In fairness, there is a great community buzz about Turners Cross. As a United fan I am disappointed with Old Trafford these days. Not just the football, the crowd, the local lads are just not there anymore and Turners Cross has a better atmosphere. A Great City for sure. Thanks for the exposure Smiv. I supported Chester for some time in the 80s, but Cork has more passionate support. Cork City is fan owned.

Lots of people say the Irish prefer GAA / Hurling and want to distance themselves from football as much as possible but this was class from Cork, fair play

[@gallowglass2630]

sam gardiner Its very regional though generally the top half and the west its mainly gaelic football,the southern half is mainly hurling ,Dublin and few other cities and garrison towns is mainly football and then you have limerick city and south county dublin more into rugby.Cork city is mixed all 4 major outdoor codes are popular including football ,but much less so gaelic football though.
