I'd expect you to condemn it. It makes the league look poor. Have you ever seen a big club do anything like this? This has come out of your website on a good few occasions now and none of you seem to care about it. You're a small enough club to be able to articulate your views on this to the club and try to stop it. It's embarrassing and petulant.Quote:

Some dubious decisions made in Dalymount on Friday night alright but Dublin City offered nothing in attack and were never in the game. There is no question about the red cards. Only casual finishing from Roy and Fenn prevented us from winning 0-6
Keely has a lot more to worry about than the officials in the league.
CHF has to be the only official website where the chairman can go on a rant as he has done in the past. Best laugh is any CHF fan slagging off any other club or fan:D
KOH
I was late so didn't see the first 2 goals however most people said that they couldn't see 1st one crossing the line.
Both red cards looked stupid but justified.
Georges showboating lasted all of 5 seconds. I thought it was a bit childish but he was trying to entertain the away support.
BTW thanks to the security fella who let me in free at halftime - DC not gonna make much cash leaving people in free.
Keely should be a lot more concerned at less than 200 home support & inability of his team to string together 3 passes all game.
Just a quick word on a couple of things. Firstly ANYONE (and I mean ANYone) who thinks that Ronan Seery sits down and writes match reports for the DCFC website is just a fool. I mean seriously...
And secondly as far as feeling a need to round on the nature of the article, hold our hands up and beg for forgiveness on behalf of a website we have nothing to do with.:rolleyes: I may agree or disagree with what is contained in any given article posted on the website of the football club I support, but I certainly will not feel obliged to apologise/condemn or make any other such remarks about a piece of writing that has nothing to do with me.
If I am commisoned and paid to do a job of writing match reports for Dublin City FC then and only then, will I feel responsible to make some public mutterings on the issue.
Over and out.
:D :D brilliant well done seery. You wish.Quote:

Keely was talking about the standard of refereeing. And btw, achieving promotion would be considered making strides.Quote:

I think the burden of proof is on you here.
the points i raised:Quote:

prove me wrong on any of the above and ill sponsor a match ball at your next home game.
The official club website of any EL club concerns all EL fans. If it is run unprofessionally it gives the idea that the EL as a whole is unprofessional to neutrals. All EL clubs rely on each other to surviveQuote:

free speech is for fans forums or fanzines, not the official website or match programme. they were the rules you would have signed up to of you joined the league properly. and compare this fuss to the shítstorm rico caused with his comments or the irish times dedicating a page to selective quotes from our forum.
as i said before, i agree with the article by and large, its just in an inappropriate place. the website shouldnt just be rockys personal blog
the league didnt have the power to deduct points.
Its been pointed out many times how amateurish the Drogheda United website is & the eL hasn't done anything so nothing will happen to Home Farm.Quote:

So pardon me while I stifle a yawn when hearing about 'transparency' and the bright new future of the game in Ireland from people who contributed heavily to the shambles of the past.
Keely on O'Callaghans skills;
"I think George O’Callaghan ought to learn a bit more respect. Against us on Friday, at one point he was over on the touchline bringing the ball under his feet and basically taking the p*** out of us. A big naughty, George. You should respect those you are playing against, regardless of their ability – or yours." - Dublin City manager Dermot Keely on Cork star George O’Callaghan.
But sure he doesn't mention George was taken out of it when going forward a minute earlier. Its ok to show respect in that way we just have to get rid of the skilful stuff :rolleyes: Would suit Dublin City's style alright i suppose.Quote:

Who do Dublin City officials curse when talking in the media?! It just looks really unprofessional. A bit of cop on is in order I think.
As for DCFC itself. They are in the Premier by merit and merit alone. Fair play to them. However, I do think that there is one Dublin club too many and if any had to be given the chop it would be them without a doubt. Shels develop good players and have loads of potential. Bohs have a great new stadium on the way and are a big club. Rovers are too big a club to throw out, whilst UCD (Dublin?) are great at developing players and have a move to the Belfield Bowl in the pipeline. Dublin City just feed off the other Dublin team's scraps and that is why they will always get promoted but never stay up. Also, is the club feasible financially?
Drogheda's site is just a bit mad, but it is consistantly mad. Dublin City's site just has the occasional childish rant. Anyway, I doubt many people read it, so why get so bothered! As I said earlier, at least it was funny.Quote:

Id be more worried about a site thats consistently unprofessional to be honest but sure it only reflects badly on themselves for the most part. Imagine potential sponsors seeing these type of thingsQuote:

i used to stand up for the drogs site, when the reports started. they were different and occasionally funny (and true in a lot of respects - its description of belfield ;) ). but it is very unprofessional - especially considering the image the club has tried to portry of late.Quote:

It has happened in the past. Also, the thing originally said "Rhona's two big howlers" with the picture of her upper body. It seems to have changed now. I don't know if it was a bizarre coincidence or a borderline sexist headline.Quote:

Dublin's website is more like the homeless guy on the street that has too much to drink every now and then and lashes out and complains to everybody that will listen to him. I know which I prefer.
