While i can accept that tv cameras shows that probably a penalty no one has been able to explain how could be a red card when a defender on the line?

From the highlights on the City side, the defender would have had to slide in through the back of him to get the ball as he was not level with him. There looked to be a few feet (not much, but possibly 3 or 4) between them. Fair call by the ref I say.
Link doesn't appear to be working any more. Hmmm.....Quote:

He is a disgrace with his comments, his own team is filled with a bunch of cheating ****ers but according to him somebody is out to get them - their team.
It is his fault that Cork are losing games and nobody elses, if Cork fans are stupid enough to fall for Richardsons attempts to deflect the blame for Corks losses then they are worse than him.
A quote from the interview "I want to keep my integrity" - Rico after an interview like that you have no integrity - if you had any you would resign after your disgraceful comments
just saw it once on friday night and cant remember exactly where each player was..however, when its a defender that takes the forward out and there is still a keeper there, a red card will result so why shouldnt it be a red when the keeper fouls the forward with only a defender left?Quote:

it doens't have to. it just has to stop a goal scoring chanceQuote:

Face, is it not fair to say that Rico is blaming his and Lennox's failings on refs. We are all subject to the stupdiity of these referees and saying it's a Dublin conspiracy is pathetic because it would also affect two other title challengers - ourselves and Drogs.
Stokes gave a free out during our match vs Linfield even though it was a Linfield player who crashed into his own keeper. He is a fool but I wouldn't say he is biased.
Face, forgetting punishment for a minute, can you clarify:Quote:

No offence Face but something better happen Rico here. Our manager received a 1000euro suspended fine for saying **** all about a ref. He was fined 100 and the 1000 is suspended unless he says something else by the end of the season and if he does then he gets whacked with that, which is a disgrace. What Sean Connor said aint even half as bad as Rico said there:mad:.Quote:

But long story short .... apology should and will definitely will be given.
Normal circumastances? You mean ones that don't effect Cork? I would imagine if this was any other manager in the league, Cork fans would be on here shouting off about how stupid it was to do and that absolutely nothing calls for that kind of childish outburst, that is degrading to the league and worthy of punishment.Quote:

Well the fact remains. That was a game Cork City should have been looking at winning. Rico seems to have gone from being incapable of winning the League to being incapable of winning the Cup. :D
On a serious note City are weaker this season not only in terms of quality but in terms of numbers. He lost four players if you include the English departees mid season last year and replaced them with two Under 21 players. By my reckoning that leaves City 2 short of what they had last season. And the recent injury crisis at Turner's Cross has illustrated that.
Face, methinks you are clouding a very straightforward issue.Quote:

Phew, that's completely out of order. Anyone who thinks that this is in any way acceptable should ask themselves what their opinion would be if another manager came out with the same response? He has really let himself and Cork City down with this interview.
I didn't listen to the interview as couldn't care less. Rico will get wrap on the knuckles & promise not to do it again as just in the heat of the moment. Other managers have come put with worse in the past & nothing happened to them. Roddy Collins was punched by Ollie Byrne & nothing happened...
Overall the fai rules are not strict enough to enforce any fine although i;m sure if its reasonable Rico would accept it & not drag into the courts like others.
I love the fact that you were joking about this, and then we got one.Quote:

From the Irish Times: I'm disappointed they didn't use a headline like 'Reckless Rico to be Ridden Rock Solid over Rambling Rant' :)

Richardson may face action over outburst
Emmet Malone Soccer correspondent
Cork City manager Damien Richardson faces possible disciplinary action by the Eircom League after launching an emotional attack on Merrion Square administrators and Ian Stokes, the referee who oversaw his side's defeat by Longford Town in the FAI Cup on Friday night.
Speaking after the game at Flancare Park, Richardson expressed dismay that Stokes, an official he had already criticised this season, had been given the cup tie at short notice after the withdrawal of Dave McKeon.
The Dublin official infuriated the City boss with his handling of the game, not least for the penalty he awarded Longford late on for an alleged trip by goalkeeper Michael Devine on Dave Mooney.
Longford equalised from the spot kick and went on to win the game while Devine faces a suspension after being sent off as a result of the incident. Television replays subsequently showed that the referee had been mistaken in penalising the goalkeeper as no contact had been made with the striker.
Richardson is likely to receive a substantial fine from the league for his post-match comments which included allegations of incompetence against veteran Merrion Square officials and a clear suggestion that the club was being targeted for unfavourable treatment because of his previous comments
Some people seem to think he should be hanged at dawn and fed to the lions ..... its sad reallyQuote:

Once all the babbling is cut out, this is the core of his message.
It will be interesting to see the leagues reaction to such an accusation.
That was hilarious
He makes a great point about Dan Connor. Murphy deserved his suspensions but Connor gets a one match ban?
Why could you not care less Pete? Your manager is standing up against what he believes is an anti-Cork agenda from Dublin. I imagine all Cork fans would be very interested in how Rico is putting it up to the powers that be. It's pretty big news in fairness.Quote:

I think he's playing the press and trying to keep fans on side by creating an "us versus them" situation, when there could be justified call for unrest amongst supporters. We could certainly have done with at least a replay, not having a home game for 5 weeks isn't good financially.
Was away on hols last week and missed both the Derry and Longford games but the points about a weaker squad and things not being good are certainly valid.But sure we've had bad times before, we'll get through them despite the obstacles Dublin place in our way
It seems to me that the main obstacle Dublin has put in Corks way this year is Damien Richardson.Quote:

When your team is playing badly its hard not to feel like getting no luck.
Roy O'Donovan got 3 match ban in the Setanta Cup for attempted retaliation (2 match ban might have been fairly but not too many gripes from city fans as stupid retaliation). Dan Connor punches Denis Behan & gets red card & 1 match ban so he returns for the final & makes 2 crucial saves. Unlucky or unfair?
You could say no tv cameras in Unted Park but does this mean teams on tv treated differently?
If they have the TV footage of course they should use it. Are you saying they shouldn't?
lets get away from this excuse making bla bla bla, whats fair or not fair, simply fact is that Ricardson has intimated publically that he believes that the powers that be, assigned that ref to the match to somehow effect the result against Cork City.
Now he must prove this allegation and lets face it, its a serious one - if he is right then football needs to undergo the italian style enquiry.

We'll see, we also had problems this time last season and managed to overcome them.Quote:

Do me a favour, SHUT UP! Boo hoo we are the real capital and Dublin hates us so much. If there is a Dublin conspiracy then you better believe it will hit us and Drogs in the same way it will CCFC. To be honest this is the arrogance manifesting itself as paranoia, just accept you aren't as good as last year.Quote:

That is exactly my point .... What happened to Devlin over those comments, complete double standards.Quote:
