None of those players was, and do you think its acceptable?
Lets just continue on this disgraceful situation because others were ignored as well?
Its about time time gave some recognition to some of our most loyal and best players and it has to start sometime.
Simply introducing a few players at a game and making a presentation is not enough.

I doubt if the U-21s are earning much from CCFC. There are a few prospects there, so we should hang on to them for a bit and see if they make it through to the senior side. To get rid of youngsters coz they're not yet able to challenge senior players is a bit short sighted.

As for those calling for Nwankwo to be moved on - he's usually the first person to be brought on when we need to sub a midfielder. He's very close to getting a starting place. Why get rid of him? It'll just weaken our bench. The following don't get a game and it's probably best to move them on:

Mulconroy
K Murray
Byrne
Greg

i know, in my post i said that we need better players than those players, not that we need to get rid of them
