Will this be called off again if Cork are missing Gamble through injury?
Is it any different from the last time we were supposed to play them in Cork when he was missing????????

Lads look at the rule books, this was not a decision made by the FAI or Cork, it's a UEFA call that a club whos player is called up to international duty game should be postponed. In a situation like this one club does not ask another club if it's ok to postpone, they tell the other club as they have the right to do so.
No Cork had the opportunity to let the match go aheadbut at the end of the day he is by far their best player so i dont see the problem. If for example one of our best players got called up you can be fcking sure that Gormley would be calling the game off.
Ok I didn't know that.Quote:

Why no moaning about Drogs postponing Bray game earlier this season & not been re-arranged yet?
When you have International player then you get a right to moan.
People did moan about that.Quote:

It's slightly different than having 1 player missing than playing 2 games in 2 days in all fariness, especially seeing as Cork have a much bigger and more experienced squad than Bray and would be excpeted to beat Bray in Turners probably even if they had 3/4 players missing.
P.S - i think you'll find it was us who cancelled our game against Derry and not Drogheda due to a waterlogged pitch, that was only a few weeks, ago. The game which Cork cancelled at short notice was near the start of the season and was only fixed last week.
You're joking right? We dont expect to beat anyone these days with our full squad, including Healy and Farrelly, let alone with 3/4 missing :rolleyes:Quote:

A Uefa ruling gave us the choice to postpone it rather than play without our only good midfielder, every other team would have done the same
One minute you lot are the best in the world, the next you're playing yourselves down. What's up with that?
The reason the Joe Gamble call up annoyed is because it was for a pointless friendly against Honduras or someone. He was only called up because Staunton was down to the bare bones (don't kid yourselves into thinking otherwise). He let all the English players get a rest after their long hard season but he comes over here and disrupts our season by calling up Gamble. Imo, Gamble or Cork should've refused and I think Cork cancelling a game for the sake of one player, no matter how important, is stupid.
When was that? We havnt been quality since 2005Quote:

Your club would have done exactly the same thing. our best player was missing and we had a choice to call of the game. Of course we took it
He's being used as a gap filler. He must've known that's what he was there for. Yes it's nice to have an el player in the squad but in this case it was pretty disrespectful by the FAI. Disrupting our season to pick a player for two pointless friendlies and then forget about him afterwards. That's what's happened. He won't be near an Ireland squad for a long time. Clearly Cork and Gamble were fooled.Quote:

Bang on. Wes missed a fair few through international call ups if I remember correctlyQuote:
