Mahon responds to Rico criticism

[Stevo Da Gull]

Fair play to UCD, they have the right to play anyway they want and the one that gets the result is obviously the best option.

Rico has a bit of egg on his face after saying a few times on EL Weekly last year there there woud be too many easy games in a 12 team league and stuff like that.

The owness was on Cork to break down UCD's resolve and they did'nt manage to, it's Rico's team who faultered, not Mahons- how can he criticise Pete Mahon for that

The owness was on Cork

That's a new one!

Onus is the word you're looking for!

Think it's interesting to see that many of the (more rational) Cork fans are admitting that we weren't as defensive as is being made out. That coupled with the state of the pitch means this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Personally, I thought the 10-team league produced more tight, cagey games than the 12-team, though Rico argues otherwise.

Doolin had a go at us last night

Presume after last season's antics you know enough to ignore everything that lad has to say?

[pineapple stu]

Interesting (or not, given the source!) that The Star's ratings for the match gave us 6 for entertainment and Cork 5...

[CollegeTillIDie]

Thats why the C(A)WKIES hate us too. When we were promoted they expected us to roll over and die but hey we forgot to read the script.

If youre not careful soon there will be a gang of angst, acne ridden 14 year olds waiting for all of ye outside the X.

Assuming those fickle brats bother to turn up that night of course

Partizan if you are in Belfield Park on Friday night, make yourself known to me. I'll be in the souvenir shop between the main stand and the sweet shop.
As one Yugophile to another I am sure we will have plenty to chat about

Exactly where is the "rant"?

In answer:

Cork City manager Damien Richardson’s claim clubs like UCD are ruining the Premier Division.

...

Richardson claimed that UCD are not of high enough standard

c u Friday night.

In answer:

Thats not an answer, thats just a claim.
Go and find the interview/piece where Rico said that "UCD were not of a high enough standard" for the premier division.

You won't find it, because he didn't say that.

[Bald Student]

OK Patsh,
All I know is what was on BreakingNews.ie. I don't know wheather or not Rico was mis-represented.

[Aberdonian Stu]

Breakingnews.ie isn't the kind of site that misrepresents people too often if at all. If they published it the odds are he said it.

Doolin had a go at us last night as well in his interview saying he thought his side were much better. It's so laughable ! Other than there 2 gifted goals, our keeper did not have a single save to make. Also the fact that Bray spent most of both halfs camped in the Drogs half shows that he was just bitter that a club who has just been promoted and spent no money what so ever in the close season took points off his team - A team that he has spent serious money on and who are full-time.

wudnt say drogheda were any better but nor were they any worse a draw was a fair result, have to ask tho are the bray fans always that quiet?
