Well said, gufct.
Good luck to Mooney. I'm disappointed to see him to, tbh. Damn good player. The league needs more young talents like him to stay until their mid-twenties.
The examiner's statement on the Cork website at least gives me cause for optimism. It seems that he understands the importance of the club to the city.
GTF, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of some fans crying about little they receive for players, that they themselves picked up for peanuts. They got Doyle for nothing, laughed at pats fans who complained, and they got Mooney because Longford went down. What comes around...Quote:

Find me a City fan who doesnt blame our owners and your post might have some merit.Quote:

Dodge you want to watch that chip its getting bigger everyday.;)
They've turned a €225,000 profit on Mooney, boo hoo for Cork.
His bitterness defines him, F.O.C.C. membership beckons. :DQuote:

Personally i think it'll turn out to be decent money for him anyway - needs too many chances for his goals. Hopefully proved wrong and he's a success.Quote:
