I Apologise I was wrong about Drogs so who does that leave Dundalk,Pats,Derry or Rovers?Quote:

Yes, the fact that you're friends with Alan Mathews and therefore biased in his favour has been duly noted. I used to have great time for the man too, which is probably why I'm so hugely disappointed in his antics over recent months, some of them incredibly petty.Quote:

At the end of the day Mathews will be alright one way or another so don't think that I want to see ye hammered or anything. My interest is mainly a personal curiosity in how it pans out in a legal sense. That's the area I'm in. I'm going to back away from this thread slowly and with my hands in the air.Quote:

Agree with this completely.Quote:

He did agree to reduce his wages, to his credit, why he didn't then sign the agreed contract is what's at issue.Quote:

Yes.Quote:

But all this talk of what he's owed and how he was treated pre-empting any ruling is a joke IMO.
I knwo who else is involved with TC as of last weekend, no-one else. If he feels that he can't afford the club and in the future wants to bring someone on board as an investor, well it's his club.Quote:

Fair enough i know that you would know lot more than the rest of us about whats happening at the minute.Quote:

That's where the comparison starts and ends, beyond that it's unfair.Quote:

Rico's settlement suggests his case was at least partially unfair, Mathews settlement may reveal the same, only time will tell.
Bald Student recently loaned Student Mullet €20 in the bar. When asked for it back, Student Mullet claimed that it was Bald Student who owed him €20. Obviously, there are two sides to this story and somewhere in between is the truth.Quote:

According to a Cork work colleague here in Dublin, cheques to CURRENT STAFF have started bouncing around Turners Cross. It will be interesting to hear reports from the forum.
This is what he emailed me earlier today. "Cheques have been bouncing since the New Year apparently to current staff. PFAI now getting involved. FAI have warned Coughlan that unless this is rectified in the next week then they will rescind the Premier License."
That's bull anyway because they have not been in Turners Cross yet :pQuote:

It's gotten to be a joke tbh. Alot of the issue is that, for some reason, Tom Coughlan and the Club are refusing to fight back, clarify the rumours or put information in the public domain that would clear much of it up. Their silence is bringing it on themselves.
Also, the club is more than just Tom Coughlan, there are a lot of great people working incredibly hard to get our club back to some level who are being undeservedly tarnished by some of the rumours being circulated. Those starting them are doing them a huge disservice, and they should know far better and show far more respect. I think I'll do a Longfordian now and back away with my hands up, i've said my piece.
Yes they have been in Bishopstown.Quote:

Is it not a similar scenario to players not having being paid what they are owed? I don't see why there should be a difference between the two.Quote:

As they say back home though, what do you expect from a pig but a grunt.
I was talking to a former cork player this evening who is still owed money
thats incorrectQuote:

People don't usually make up wages they're owed, but there's often room for dispute, particularly over dismissal procedures in a sacking.
Of course, it's easy to imagine a club claiming that wages aren't really owed to get around that aspect of licensing, but it'd force things to court and probably hurt them in the long run. Not that LoI clubs think long term.
I wonder ?Quote:

While I do not condone the comment, thankfully I don't believe he had cancer.Quote:
