1. As I already said Dalo, people don't make baseless accusations- no smoke without fire, as joe said.

2. a=no, Gunther's not doing much better. Mountfield didn't leave, he was sacked. He wanted to fight on- the guy was not a quitter. b=Nothing to do with it, sure it wasn't easy, but he was in the process of sorting that out I believe. C= He treated amateurs and backstabbers with too much respect and as thoug they were pros, and got fcuked over for it.

3. Foolish? You call yourself a City fan? The Supporters club is there for City fans. We're the ones who devote our time to the club for nothing- the number of CCSC members who are involved in CityLotto and on matchday would probably surprise many people. The fact that Murphy hasnt got the b@lls to go to a meeting says a lot about him. BTW. do you include Brian Lennox, Jim Murphy, Greg Cantillon etc., in that category of "stupid" because they went to meetings too?! :rolleyes:

4. In my 6 years supporting City, I have never met anyone more courteous, pleasant and genuinely nice than Derek Mountfield. I'm sure Johnny Cis a lovely chap too, as long as you're not trying to convince him that he should retire because he's too old :rolleyes:

one thing eanna under Dm we would have got relegated. when gunther took over we had just been hammered by pat's 4-0. surely you didn't take that lying down.

as for the ccfcsc i never said the people invloved were stupid. i instead said any manager who would speand all his time listening to the vagaries of supporters (me and you included) would be foolish. the ccfc sc do great work fair play.

i too met dm and as a everton fan i can concur with you there. nice guys don't always win though.

as for gunther he probably is a spacer alright but I am reserving judgement until the end of the season.

of course I didn't but neither did I take the thrashing at home by bohs this season lying down-it should have been more than 3-0! Or the home loss to dundalk, or any of the other home defeats this season! I don't believe DMwould have got us relegated. If I rmember right, we were 6 points off the playoff place and 7 off 2nd. People were saying the glass was half empty. The team was too good to go down, and the players who were not putting in the work would have kept us up, because it would have damaged their careers too much to go down.

Whether we would have been religated or not is speculation as we will never know what would have happened.

Losing those games against Bohs, Dundalk et all was bad, fair enough, but it happens. I dont like it, infact it f€cks up my train ride back to Dublin each night, but as I said it can happen. If the supposidly better team won in football matches each week then I would not follow soccer. Part of the 'fun' of soccer for me is wondering who will win, what the score will be, who will play well etc. No teams in the eL are that consistant (except Bohs & Shels last year), so quite often games can go either way. To give a CCFC example, we trash Rovers in Dublin one week, then loose in Cork the next. Shels beet Cork in Cork one week & the next they loose at home to Derry. Id hate to see a SPL league here where we can predict the table for the next 5 years (or at least the top 2!)
