Well ladies and gentlemen we have another contender for finest ever League of Ireland interview as Joe Gamble gave one of the strangest post match utterances I've ever heard. Was this a slip of the tongue or some bizarre Corkism?
It's got to be up there with Ridden Rock Solid and the Stuey Byrne title winning tirade.
I LOVE THIS LEAGUE :)

I haven't a clue what he's trying to say. Is he saying they were so good that they "raped" football as others would say?

I thought he said that but didn't want to comment in case he said something else and it raised a whole lot of other issues of why I imagined him saying it. :eek:
Glad to have confirmation now. :D
Didn't he also say that anyone who knows anything about football will know that Linfield didn't win the game? Can we expect Cork to take this up with FIFA and be allowed into the final on the basis that they would have won on points if football was judged like boxing:confused:

Just sounds a bit bitter to me. Understandably so but there's still a limit you know. He could at least be a bit more gracious in defeat.
I haven't seen the interview so not sure exactly what was said but if this is true he needs to grow up and be a proper professional.

Would you prefer usual spiel with usual cliches?
Showed some honesty and just told us what we already knew.

What? That even though Linfield won the match they shouldn't be in the final?!
He seemed to blame Denis Behan more for missing chances than for the fu** up he made for the goal!
Typical Cork whinging, I saw one of the foot.ie regulars on the TV a few times, no doubt he's coming up with an excuse... One that could be used is "The players were confused by the different speed limits/traffic light systems on the way up to the match"

Gamble should realise these things happen.
Liverpool played Man Utd off the park the whole match then O'Shea came up with the winner.
It was exactly what happened last night. And that is the difference between a good team and a championship winning team.
If you have any ambitions of winning the league, you have to be able to win ugly and Linfield did just that.

Yeah but he should have some balls and get on with it. Instead of whinging on national telly.
It's like the whole moral victory bull that goes on. There's no such thing, imo. Players should realise that and cop on.

It's a bit of a shambles alright giving the man of the match award to someone who just gave away the winning goal. I'd say Gamble felt like hopping the stupid trophy off Milo's permed barnet.

Can't disagree with the comments but that was O'Donovan.
Not seen the interview but I think live tv interviews straight after matches is new to eL players especially after such big games. Gamble is probably not the greatest communicator & a bit too honest. He ran the game for 90 minutes & made one crucial feck up.

We're being shagged by Dublin. We're being ridden rock solid...
http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=36139&highlight=%22ridden+rock+solid%22 :D
Legendary Red FM (?) interview last season. Can't seem to find the audio link - it was at http://homepage.eircom.net/~drogvideos/richardson127.mp3 (http://corktrophycentre.com/audios/richardson127.mp3) - anyone still have it?
Ironically enough, it happened when a referee from Waterford sent off a player from Cork in Longford. Afterwards the Dubliner who manages Cork claimed that everybody was out to stop Cork and once again they'd be "ridden rock solid" fueling the minds of those from the people's republic that us jackeens would do anything to stop them.
Last year Cork finished up qualifying for the intertoto behind the jackeens of Drogheda Utd and Derry City
I thought that some people believed the phrase to have originated in Cork B.C., where it was used to describe the treatment dished out by corkonias arch rivals and long time financial suppressors, the Dubliniov saxonists, who enjoy morris dancing and gaa?

So, FIFA are also in on this anti-Cork conspiracy!
:eek:
It was some rant alright, definitely shows a lack of discipline and maturity though. A recurring theme in Rico's teams?
Gamble obviously felt he had carte blanche to drive a tourist bus through all sense of media decorum. :)

clubs are required to have both manager and one player available for interview after matches ...now given the average intelligence of your footballers this is not a great move so clubs should sign at least one player with a smattering of English (ie no from cork) and an bit of ability in PR (again not from cork) to deal with the media someone who does not feel the world is riding his club rock solid.
p.s. i think his main point was that cork deserved something out of the game and is not far wrong

I think quotes like this should be embraced, they are highly entertaining, honest and actually give us an insight into the players opinions. Is that not why there is a micro phone infront of them, or do we all want to hear the same cliched bullsh!t from every player??
Where has anybody done anything but embrace his comments?

If I remember correctly he applauded Drogheda and wished them luck last season in the final against Cork when they beat us. I don't think our manager came up with some excuses or tried to take anything away from Drogs victory.
At least when we lose we are big enough to accept it without crying about it too much. The Bluemen are also big enough to accept that we where well well below par and where lucky to come away with a win.
It is one of them things in football and I think Cork City should stop acting the micky mouse and start showing a bit of professionalism.

Eh thats cos Drogs played you off the pitch when they won...not the other way around.
Its a lot easier to be gracious when you didnt dominate the game.
Saying that the comments serve no purpose so he should have kept them to himself. But it was in the heat of the moment and understandable IMO....nothing compared to what i would have said had I been interviewed at that minute :D

Joe Gamble had just come off the pitch, adrenaline still pumping and he was asked for his opinioin on the game. His response was not a considered one, as he did not have time to consider it. Ask him the same question now and you'll get the usual bland s***e. What happened was a mediaman's wet dream realised, and it should be taken in the context of the situation in which the interview was given. Stop molesting Joe today!:)
I though he meant that we molested Linfield! As in played them off the park!
Strange choice of words alright though!

I agree, the fella just came of the pitch absolutely gutted and was told as he had to do an interview. Fair play to Joe as he didn't say the usual patronising crap you hear after games. I remember Setanta interviewed Paddy Mccourt on the pitch moments after the penalty shoot out against Shels in the league cup final, and Paddy swore a couple of times as he really hadn't time to compose himself as he was so pumped up.
I am only going on the quotes but I don't think Joe Gamble has insulted anyone as he spoke the truth & its hard to disagree with him. I would be interested to hear the last time that Linfield were outplayed so much on their home ground. If it was a boxing match it would be one where Linfield get the s*it kicked out of them before the opponent tripped over his own laces & knocked himself out.
David Jeffreys:
"The supporters were our 12th man. When the players were out on their feet they urged them on and on." :eek: :rolleyes:
The home supporters cheered a few corners like they goals & barely a wimper out of them all night. Just compare the noise when they scored with the previous 85 minutes.
A bit of rivalry is what the Setanta is badly lacking anyway so maybe this will help it.
I am getting bored of the "those eL sides are all fulltime" excuses from the IL sides.

Lol yeah right? Drogs came and counter attacked we actually had all the possesion and play,just like cork the other night. saying that cork didnt even look like scoring only a few times when our defence made mistakes and let them in,their finishing is poor.. we also had a few chances of our own few free headers which could of easy been converted?
I thought Derry city was bad but these cork clowns think they're Barcelona ffs.

Balls, you don't even know what gracious is.
Your manager has no decorum, moans more than ANY EL manager I've ever had the misfortune to hear or read after a match and I imagine he thinks that it's all 'spin' for the media the one wee bit of limelight your club gets in the Setanta each year.
After every game this season Linfield fans can't see any failings in either team or management and deride any supporter or employee of the opppsosition team for begging to differ - that is not gracious in fact it's the direct opposite.
If Linfield win the Setanta, fair play, I'll just be glad it's over so I can get on with enjoying my season, because wether the form Derry City have had so far continues or not at least I won't have to read/listen to DJ or the same deluded nonsense from fans that know nothing but pig arrogance. I reckon it comes from winning a non competitive league a zillion times and a couple of Antrim Shields.
Now, back to the decent football fans...

Me and you both. It's like some sort of mantra. If it's so unfair, don't enter next year.
Maybe that is the graciousness they are talking about, giving EL clubs plaudits for professionalism - nope, they just moan, whinge and bitch about it.
