Former Hammer, Sean Maguire has made a perfect start for Cork City by scoring twice at the weekend.
The striker was the difference between the two teams as he helped Cork get off to a winning start at home on the first day of the Irish league.
“Before the game, I would have taken three points and no goals, but scoring two goals in the ‘Shed End’ on my debut is just a bonus, so I’m delighted,” Maguire told reporters.
“Coming here, there was a bit of pressure, but I think scoring in the past couple of games has given me confidence and hopefully I can just kick on from here.”
The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international added: “I worked really hard in pre-season and John [Caulfield] has shown faith in me, playing me up front on my own with Gav [Holohan] and we’ve formed a good partnership, we know each other really well.”
Cork manager John Caulfield was impressed by his new acquisition.
“It might be a rejuvenated Seanie Maguire and that’s what we want,” Caulfield told reporters after the game. It was two ‘fox in the box’ finishes in a game that was tight and I suppose they were goals out of nothing, which is a credit to Sean. Since he’s come in, his work rate and attitude have been phenomenal. If he keeps working like that, he’ll score goals and that’s what we want.”
Heard totscum are trying to nick our tea lady.
Never mind we have the Viking Messi still with us,
Well it looks like our league position is worrying the so called elite news pundits , it appears we are going to make an approach for 2 , yes 2 arsenal sick notes to come here and make us a great team , pus I might add that Antonio is on manure,s list and ogbonna for city ?
They really don’t like the idea of us coming into their domain !!
It appears we have arrived and that disruption is the name of the day ( cheating / gamesmanship ) fergie / wengeress type of psychology , sad sad ugly Muppet people !
Its like a pantomime for children of conservative values preaching spin to achieve their sinister objectives , some would call it common purpose but others would call it plain cheating , gamesmanship ?? I wonder who’s next in line for a move , payet / lanzini / sahkho / we shall see in the closing stages of this season of which I’m sure ?

I seem to recall you choosing it as a headline as well! Just because someone else used it, it doesn’t make it less stupid that you chose to propagate it.
We report the news, we don’t make the news 😉
I resisted the headline former Irish Messi bags brace for Cork 😉
“playing me up front on my own with Gav [Holohan] and we’ve formed a good partnership..”
Up front on your own with someone, that must be an Irish strategy!
As for the Messi bit, that was just a bit of Whetstone stupidity!
If I remember when he came to us we were told he was the Irish Messi ?
Wish the lad all the best but obviously when with us not good enough,but that’s the problem
now is Messi good enough ?
He would have learnt a lot with us so go forth and spread the Westham Way and entertain the Irish
