It has been mentioned several times that Reynolds was only at City for one season. How can he be a traitor when he has a track record of leaving his clubs and moving on and if he only stayed for a season? I don't get the fuss to be honest. Leave him off.
He's possibly going to be one of the most unpopular players in the league though - playing for Rovers, and having legged it from three other Premier Division clubs in recent times.

ah come on lads,

sure Morley (a Corkie himself who had played for much longer and was more influential) going to Shels was much worse that Rennie doing the dirt on ya and signing for the super Hoops!

Its only coz its us ye are getting into a twist, if he had signed for Waterford ye wouldnt be as bothered!

Dang straight!

No, I think the issue is more that he agreed to re-sign for City and it was widely reported that he had then he went and signed for Shamrock

hate to admit kempes is right, but it wouldn't have been anywhere as bad had he gone back to waterford, having said that if he hadn't been so influential last year we wouldn't care either. still niamh, i think he deserves the abuse he will undoubtedly get when he comes back.

when skippy went to shels, city were nowhere, at least it was ambition, i can't understand why reynolds would go to rovers though (unless he's getting a load of cash).

well whhy less would you change jobs? best of luck to reynolds - never buy into this traitor cwap, since players generally change clubs all the time they will always be "traitors". once they stop wearing the city shirt i don't really care what they get up to.

that said i wouldn't be too excited about big der if he came back - the guy could be awful at times

ah such idealism- much prized but rarely found. just saying footballers are footballers and are no different than your average joe. supporters usually vote their feet- if they don't like the football they just won't turn up- in city's case this is refelcting in widely differing attendances. we are all the same:D

This is what Reynold's has to say about his move to one of the Big 4. "I spoke to a few clubs, but when I spoke to Liam my mind was made up. I've played in Europe before and it's a big attraction. When you look at the likes of Trevor Molloy and Tony Grant, we have a real chance."

He also says that Rovers "can start pushing Bohs and Shels off the top." But that's not relevant to you lot. :)

The man wants to to move onwards and upwards (and earn a few more quid), nothing wrong with that.

Ah ... in fairness, that is fair enough but the point is that he was talking to City about resigning and hadn't let on a thing and then overnight had gone and signed with Rovers. All this after having said he like to get closer to Waterford for family reasons, which is fair enough aswell but Cork - Waterford is 1 +1/2 hrs and Dublin (if it is the southside) is 2 1/2 hrs away. His arguement just falls apart to be honest.

In any other scenario, he could have been seen to be trying to stitch up the club. This is probably over reacting i know but the time scale for him changing his mind is beyond belief.

For the record, i dont call him a judas, just a great loss and a shame that he left. While having left, i'd of liked to see him at Waterford as they are up this year.

Money on the Mind on the Money !!

Reynolds lives in Carlow, not Waterford and not Cork. Loads of people commute from Carlow to Dublin everyday.

WAR .... his child is in Waterford ... *i think* again that is totally his own business and of course it is not our position to interfere. If he wants to see his child ... cool but dont use it as a reason to leave the club, then change your mind and stay and then at the last minute leave for Rovers. Basically he claimed that he was loyal and proved the opposite. :rolleyes:

Carlow .... God bless him :p

God love you, Colm. As the song says "We're in Europe, You're Not" We have finished ahead of you for the last two seasons and will again this year and we have more money. It's quite simple.

We may be homeless but we're not hopeless.

We offered Reynolds more money than you lot did. Again it's quite simple. We pay better than Cork, how we afford it is another matter. :)

We never went cap-in-hand to the GAA, they approached us. At least try and get your facts right.

We are entering an exciting new era under Dolan but you lot are in dire trouble, your support seems to be dwindling by the day and even if you ever do move into your own ground you'll probably only be allowed use it for 30 days a year. Relegation beckons for the hoops.

2-0 down, 3-2 up.........

I have no problem with the abuse thing at all...is part of the game. But he stayed for one season, so he wasn't a "loyal servant" like Ollie and he isn't from Cork like Derek. I don't think at any point he said he wanted to stay at City in public.
Some people are taking it to heart that he changed his mind. Leave him go if he wants to. I don't wish him the best, but I am not taking it personally.
Would you rather have him playing for City wishing he was somewhere else?
