So an u18 could be paying €321 extra on top of a season ticket price for the right to not vote on who the honorary club chairman would be? Has this been thought through at all?
Didn't get out of their group.
(And it was 5-3 we lost to Cork; remember it being strange how our final win against Salthill was so similar)
Was it? Christ, time flies when your club is going through hell.Quote:

Whole thing seemed to surprise Maccer. But as I said, it's quite possible that's Rusty's remit until it comes to the paperwork.
Edit - misread "has he re-signed" as "he has re-signed" in tiktok's post. Disregard.
Me too. We should set up a support group for UCD fans who can't read good and can't do other stuff good too.
I popped over to the Cork forum for a brief glance and I'm surprised to see that not everyone is anti-TNB/Roddy/CCFC. Is this purely because of the return of Georgie rubbish we're hearing or are their Cork fans who are completely fooled by this crook? Honest question to Cork fans on here.
No-one is anti-CCFC.Quote:

No-one wants TNB at the club, but a few are resigned to being stuck with him and getting on with that. At least that's my understanding.
When I said anti-CCFC I meant against the current regime. Are the people who are willing to give Roddy a chance the usual "GOC is god" fools or what?
:eek:Quote:

I'd love to know what his wife is like by the way. I suspect she's probably pretty dim and in awe of him. Can't see any other reason why she wouldn't see through his bullsh!t or put up with the perennial turmoil he creates.
maybe he beats her?Quote:

How is that any different to the other deferrals then? Is there ever a point where licensing kicks in :confused:Quote:

For the sake of being on topic, i have this sinking feeling that Cork will still get a premier licence
That's his youngest daughter, but she's not that much of a looker. The older one is going out with a lad who played for/is playing for Monaghan, Alan something?Quote:

GF said he'd still not been paid and contacted the licensing committee to tell them as much and didn't take a court case in order to prevent a cross over.
Like you, hairy, I've a sinking feeling that the FAI will bottle it and the fair weather fans will benefit while the club further falls apart.
If Cork do get a licensing, then the FAI should just abandon the licensing system because its only making the game in this country a laughing stock.
I can't see Matthews and Farrelly getting all their money (200,000 in total) by the end of the month.
When does the next Revenue winding-up order arrive so?
If you are to ask me, some of the people who were on the fence about boycotting or whatever have been turned by the GOC rumors, which is sad in many ways to me personally, basically putting one person above the good of the club.Quote:

And then there is an element of people who have said they dont give a **** just care about the guys on the field, which is an extremely dangerous view to have as well.
I am close to being done at this stage. It all relies on us not getting a licence though. The whole clubs future could rely on that.
It sounds like Ireland in general, for 2-3 years nobody wanted Fianna Fail, yet come election time they're back in the Dail.Quote:

The license application is still there from FORAS, but only as a contingency. If TNB gets his license, the FORAS one will be pulled, 110%. Now, should Coughlan not get a license and FORAS do get one, I am not entirely sure what will happen as we wont have the rights to the name (**** the crest, TNB can keep that piece of crap) so technically would have to start a new name unless we can buy that off TNB for an undoubtedly extortionate price. Should we start as anything but CCFC, then I am not sure what the uptake will be from City fans in terms of showing up at games or how happy they would be at following, what is essentially, another club, even if CCFC is just defunct and unavailableQuote:

But will FORAS stick it out if Cork end up in the 1st Division? Just heard Roddy on the radio claiming the Premier licence is in the bag, that the FAI have guaranteed Cork's place in the league, Europe and that they're assisting him with his licence (I thought it was Newstalk but now I think it was 98FM or RTE, I'm trying to find out). I didn't know what licence he was talking about then remembered it wasn't for an english reg merc or club car but for coaching. If he's right, then it's going to be a rollercoaster ride for 2010.Quote:

Newstalk it was, and this week, possibly today, he's on 98FM with Johnny Lyons and Thursday he'll be on Newstalk again. Interestingly Paul Doolin said the Cork training facilities were "attrocious", yet his "successor" said they're great. Is pre-season taking place in Pairc Ui Caoimh this season or Musgrave Park ;)Quote:

cant figure out TNB ,has he or has he not applied for a licence he must have put down the cross as his designated ground and therefore must show he had access to same for the season.also his financials submisions must be a train wreck I would love to see his license application was it written on the back of a envelope with a crayon with a mug stain on the top and marmalade on the bottom. Its not just cork on trial it is also licensing anyway best of luck to the cork supporters nobody deserves this even if they did riddle the big fella
there was a rumour going round before Christmas that he had put St Colemans Park down as Citys home venue for 2010. No one at Ramblers knew anything bout it but that little detail wouldn't put the bold No Bobs off!Quote:
