I wouldnt say he was a big tough burley hurling player but he was handy enough!!Plays for my club and scored 1-4 after coming back from england 4 years ago in the senior championship,even got a call up to the Cork intermediates but he had to pull out as he signed professional contract with City shortly beforehandQuote:

just curious, but can many people remember how many serious injuries have occured in the last season or two to back up the 'hacking' accusations about the league in general. i would say that it would not be any lesser or greater than the likes of the premiership or spl (but that is my own wild guess).
if rico wants to see the end of dirty tackles etc from the league in order to protect the better players - he should discipline the dirty players in his own team first (o donovan and even o'callaghan himself) - and then lecture to the rest of the league.
So he never hacked nayone on his career? Anyone down there have any sense of logic?Quote:

This thread is so funny... like Georgie will ever amount to anything
Is this more Rico mind games?
Putting it in ref's minds that George is somehow a victim who needs protection?
Like the moaning about teams coming to the Cross for a draw (as if all top teams don't experience this) saying its holding back football etc.
Is he modelling himself on Mourinho?
Cork have had a sluggish start to the EL season. The press will only give any Irish team so much coverage, so Rico is looking to drive the agenda on how that coverage will be filled - i.e. stoping it form being questions about why his team is 4 points off the pace after only 6 games, and deflecting the coverage onto other issues. He's been watching too much Ferguson and Mourinho on telly..Quote:

And i see the usual jealous bunch with a mixture if Derry fans/Pats fans(dodge who else) and the new Drogs fans who have appeared from thin air...oh and even a Limerick fan :D
Georgie is a genius lads...i mean it...:D
Well Rico has come out with such gems in the past
Like when Bray and UCD went to the Cross in successive weeks and held City to draws. He was disappointed both sides didn't roll over and let City win the games....
I'd say half the reason people like Georgie get fouled more often is (shock horror!) they would often have alot more of the ball. Simple really, that alone opens you up to being tackled/fouled more often. It happened to Weso, he just got on with his game.
He does wind up opposition players and fans, and he's hardly a fair player himself by any stretch of the imagination, he's a frustrating cheat, but I'd be loving every second of watching opposition fans getting wound up by him if he played for my team. The only reason this nonsense keeps coming out is people will talk and whinge about him (rather ironcially, whinging about himself or Rico whinging!), which can only boost his soaring ego? They know nothing will change (indeed does anythign need changing?) but it gets them press and publicity - and people talking about them, them them and them.
I'd be loving it if I was a Cork fan just to watch everyone else get so wound up! :eek:
What are you on about? The Drogs fans that appear on here are long timers who can't be arsed to post regularly due to the Cáwkie pollution on here.Quote:

Got it in one. O'Callaghan is a good player, but if he was going to go back to England I suspect he'd be gone by now. And if he did get the chance to go elsewhere he'd be gone like a shot. No promises to leave him alone by all the nasty rough boys in the league would keep him here. As for Rico:rolleyes: he's been at this rubbish since he was Shels manager and his team of free flowing beautiful footballers (must be where Barcelona learned their tricks:D ) lost the title to Pats. Really there should be a law against tackling when you're playing one of Damiens teams. I mean, how are they going to express themselves properly if other teams insist on trying to get the ball off them ?Quote:

Cork have 2% of the population of Cork city cheering them on. At this rate even Craptown will be cheering for us.
And before you argue - 11% of the population of Drogheda will be in Tolka park on Saturday night cheering on their local team. Cork and the biggest support - arse biscuits as Fr Jack used to say

No I do not get a thrill about the whole country cheering us on but what does please me is the fact that the nerves on leeside have been replaced by the arrogance that existed in the first week of December last year.Quote:

You could no longer claim to be the best team in the Eircom league. Setanta cup champions and Eircom league leaders (oh and FAI cup holders). There would be an implosion in Cork.
Would you then give a toss......

I hate the love in between some teams. I prefer when everyone else hates us. Sign of being best team in the country.
Dublin-Drogheda 30minutes drive
Dubln-Cork 4 hour drive.
I'd be disappointed if Drogs couldn't sellout their ticket allocation for game they can drive to & return same day.
:rolleyes:

btw, getting back to Georgie, he was on the Red Rooster on RedFM this morning and when asked what happened his ankle he said, "some fat Bray player fell on it last week!" Legend!!:D
Eh...your not really comparing like with like there now are ya!!Quote:

We brought proportionally more to Belfast on a Tuesday night than you guys can bring to Dublin for the final.
Oh and now we can add the Bray fans to our side. "Fat Bray player" - classy comment from the poor wee lamb. At least its not a crime to be fat.
Cork City have the biggest home crowds and biggest away support in the EL, those facts speak for themselves.Quote:

Whatever about the biggest home support, I doubt that you have the biggest away support. Derry always seem to bring more and that's not even counting the big away crouds dublin clubs naturally get.Quote:

Never seen more than 50 Drogheda fans in Turners Cross. Never seen less than 50 City fans in O2 Park.
As soon as other managers start talking about their players it#ll even out. Until then...Quote:
