Cork City denied a licence; club to be wound up; FORAS to enter First Division

[Dyl10]

It's because of FORAS that the country is in the state it's in

Agreed

Yes, and you can't have any of it, the BOM 'holiday' (emigration) to barbados is going to be sweet...

[Réiteoir]

We should have got Colonel Gaddaffi to cover all of this in his speech to the United Nations the other day

[marinobohs]

Somebody ought to write a letter.

Team bus has the players for tonight's match, but the driver ain't moving until they get paid. Rumour linky.

Edit - Dan Murray went on 96FM to talk about the situation, and the station managed to get the E900 needed for the trip through donations. Coughlan was in a meeting and couldn't pay; suggested they all drive. Unbelievable.

Edit edit - but the bus driver now says he wants E2,000 for the last two trips, which are also unpaid, so the team's still stuck in Cork. 2/1 for a Pat's win tonight, apparently. I'm on that now!

Edit edit edit - TNB = Tommy No Bus.

One of the most amazing threads I've ever read.

Best league in the world, bar none.

[SeanDrog]

when will this Cork drama cease.

cant blame the bus driver (if true) he has a living to make and cant be driving people around for free.

All we need now is the bus driver to take the players hostage as collateral....albeit fairly worthless collateral.

Seriously, someone should snap up the film rights quickly.

Brilliant stuff. Can't help now but to laugh at them. I had some sympathy for them but its long gone.
Will somebody please put them out of their misery!

Not until Coughlan is gone anyway, and it is true.

[Ash]

Bus paid and enroute to Dublin apparently

Has the man any self respect or dignity?

My heart goes out to our players.
