Supporters Trust acting as guardians of senior football in Cork City. forastrust.ie

This image features a vertical display of Cork sports and culture memorabilia against a light-colored, wood-paneled wall. At the top, a framed red and black vertically striped soccer jersey is prominently displayed. It features the logo of the iconic Cork indie-punk band The Sultans of Ping F.C. across the chest, with the O'Neills brand mark and a crest above it. This specific jersey was a limited-edition charity release by the band and the FORAS supporters' trust to benefit Down Syndrome Cork. Directly above this frame is a classic circular red fire alarm bell. Below the jersey hangs a smaller framed commemorative poster with the bold headline "CORK DOUBLE CHAMPIONS 1990." The poster honors the historic year the Cork GAA teams won both the All-Ireland Senior Hurling and Senior Football titles—a feat achieved by only a few counties. It includes team photos and detailed text celebrating the "Double." The setting is Coughlan's Bar which hosted the jersey's official launch.
This image shows the exterior of Coughlan's Bar, a traditional three-story red-brick building. Ground Floor: Features a dark storefront with the name "COUGHLAN" in gold lettering. There is a large central window with black metal railings, flanked by two doorways. The entrance on the left is open, revealing posters inside. A stone base at the bottom is inscribed with "WINE AND SPIRIT STORE." Upper Floors: The second and third stories are made of weathered red brick with decorative cream-colored stone accents around the windows. There are three sash windows on each level. Green ivy grows up the left side and hangs across the top of the pub's signage. Surroundings: To the left is a white wall with various signs, including one for a "Heated Beer Garden." To the right is a plain grey building. The scene is set under an overcast sky on a paved sidewalk.
