View Full Version : Skippy
Am I correct in thinking that Skippy is now the clubs joint top scorer ever?
The sooner the man gets a worthy testomional the better, no other City player deserves it as much
179 goals I think and that equals Jonny Cs record.
Yes, he certainly deserves a big testimonial. Who would it be against. Id presume Celtic.

i'd love to see a 3way testimonial for 3 of our greatest ever and most loyal players
Skippy
Deccie
Johnny C
I think its actually something like 180 total league goals with him joint highest city scorer ever at 129 or there abouts with Johhny C.

I'd be interested to see the number of goals scored per minute played for City. This would allow a true comparison of their (and anybody else's) scoring rate. Any stattos out there have this info to hand?
nobody wanted to give him a test. when he went to $hel$

Yes, but now we can be fickle in a good way! ;)
Morley is one of the most professional and skilfull players ever to grace domestic football onthis island. The sooner he gets the recognition he deserves, the better.
Whatever about the charlatan Johnny C, Pat Morley definitely deserves a testimonial.
Neil
I am slow so you'll have to explain how morley deserves a testimonial but caulfield doesn't??
After the role Caulfield played in ousting Mountfield, I would never trust the ****er again.
Good player, served us well, but spoiled it at the end by his back-stabbing.

What exactly did that "Group of 5" do by the way?
Does anyone have any actual proof (other than 'A mate of mine, who is fairly relieable') of what they did (or didnt) do?
Can we have a named quote if there is one please?
('Goalside' style question)
How did Jonny C specifically stab DM in the back? Was it with a knife or a sword?

Brilliant question troy. i think neil will say with a dagger just to be smart but we are entitled to an answer after accusing such a great city player.
i have been asking this question for ages on this board and as usual i get no answers so don't expect anything different.
personally i think this stabbing DM in the back thing is a load of B/s :o
anyone remember that old saying about smoke and fire? :D

another brilliant reply. :D it seems people make accusations and then dont support them. is he a directer of city or what :confused:
Lets have a testimonial for the gang of 5. If they got rid of Mountfield they deserve it. I keep hearing this crap about the gang of 5 and Johnny C in particular. (If this gangs exists and if they got rid of Mountfield fair play to them. We'd be playing Cobh twice more every season if Mountfield were still in charge). Johnny Caulfield is a player who has given over 16 years loyal service to one club not like Skippy who cleared off when thing weren't going to good back in 1996 but arrived back just in time for our league cup triumph in Dec 1998.
Ok to be fair Skippy has always given good service to City but to propose a testimonial for him and ignore Johnny C, and Deccie for that matter, is nothing more than a joke. Hows about a joint testimonial against a Derek Mountfield selection to celebrate the switching on of the floodlights?

We could arrange a testimonial against that Irish team from Scotland, you know the one with the green shirts!
Our old friend McCabe is second in command up there, you know the one :D

It has been explained many times on this message board and on citynet. If you are too lazy to read it that is your own fault. You might think it is "B/S" but then you then again you are one of the 'Gang of Rose Tinted Specs' and there is no real point in trying to talk to you!

alright maybe i have missed something on the two message boards but i have never seen anything to sustantiate any of this gang of 5 sh**te. (besides why does a gang always have to be 5? :D ) sounds like a cheap soundbite to me!!!
maybe some of the guys "that do know" are talking in encrypted code on the message board and that is why I can't get the "obvious truth".
asfar as I know Dm left because a) the results were pretty dire b) his family were estranged in England c) he lost command of his players. Dm just because he was foolish enough to pay attention to the ccfcsc and attend a few of their meetings is supposed to be some kind of hero?
JC is a absolute gentleman and anyone who met him would tell you the same.
as for rose tinted glasses sure where would I be without them :cool:

interesting use of the word 'foolish'. i'll say no more than this: it should be a duty of any football manager to be willing to attend an official supporters club meeting when invited
as for rose tinted glasses sure where would I be without them :cool:
any idea where i can get a pair? I've a feeling I'll need them come July :D

no doubt about it JC is proper a gentleman in "real life" ..well just as longs as youre not the person marking him in a Junior 3 legue match, cause even though he was probably 10 years older then me and alot bigger then me he still attemped to beat 7 shades of crap out of me....but again maybe that was him being a gentleman...that guy gives more off the ball belts then anyone i've ever seen,heard or played against...
Anyway no hard feelings here, cause I beleive I scored 1-2 off him , playing from wing back that day..cheers JC :D
well it is a man's game james. :D

its gone way off the topic. anyway morley deserves a testimonail and we should play shels his old club. now dont anyone mess around
Troy.McClure
06/03/2002, 8:43 PM
Shouldnt we play Rangers or IFK, two of the more famous clubs that he scored against? Either them or a Shels or Rambelers + "special guests".
It would be nice if we could get Man U over here, Id love to see Keane & Irwin play IN Cork.
James and neil are two of the nicest guys I have ever met in cyberspace :D Now my position is clear I shall proceed.
Pat and the rest deserve a testimonial but it would proabably cost the club more money to get a cross- channel over here than what they would make.
Anyway we can then always give deccie stick when he gets a roasting off beckham and Morley a earful when he can't run any faster. Just to show there is no hard feelings :D
Testimonial should be against either $hel$ or an eL XI selection. I don't think it would be hard to get Cronin, Woods, Hill, Herrick, Kelvin & some other players from around the league play against City? Could alos use Mooney for other keeper
So testimonail team could be
Mooney
XXXX, Hill, XXXX, Cronin
XXXX, Kelvin, Herrick, Woods,
XXXX, XXXX
If Olllie leaves he can take a midfield slot.

LOL, I'm sure it would be great to drag the "ever popular" Dobbsy out of non-league footie.
Johnny 'he of the mud goal' Glynn might b a bit old for a comeback although considering he a fitness instructor of some type maybe he'd be fit enough.
I didn't add Tynan as he never really played for the club much...

Dave Barry and Miya Dennehy, surely they should get a place ....... actually lads i dont have a clue who to pick. Ideally you would want a huge crowd and you would get a better crowd if you had some of the national team/capped players/retired and well known. As for Roy and Denis playing, they would have forgotten where Cork is by now. Not to mind coming home for a game of footie.

1. As I already said Dalo, people don't make baseless accusations- no smoke without fire, as joe said. People have to be careful what they say, because it could cause trouble, but suffice it to say that I would never make an allegation such as that without having heard it from sources I trust & which have been right in the past.
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:
