Jeez, it just gets worse, doesn't it! Ah well, there will be lots of chances to sing, "Alan Kelly, you're a w****r!" He's woeful!Quote:

He has never done us any favours either but at least he isn't a cheat lihe Mckeon....****** :mad:
Best set of officials Galway could get.
Kelly will give EVERYTHING to Galway, just to show he doesn't favour City.

Kelly is actually a very good ref and there are high expectations that he could go to a very high level in UEFA.
That said Galway need have no fears he won't give us an inch.
I'm not hugely worried about him - at least it's not some of the Dublin refs or his "lordship" Jim O'Neill!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:
Jesus Christ, you cant please some people in here. Cork fans moan and complain that they always have dublin oficials and never cork officials. Now that ye get a cork official(not that it makes any difference by the way), and arguably the top official in the country, ye still moan and whinge.
Just goes to show what many supporters in cork are....vindictive,begrudging whingers. I begin to wonder sometimes if winning the Championship would please cork supporters...I seriously doubt it! Wininnig the Champions League may not be enough for some of ye :mad:
Who,d be a referee.Just goes to show that no matter what they do,they still cant win :confused:
Well its more like why do we get Dublin refs when we play Dublin teams? I dont think that people would mind Buttimer (he's from Cork isnt he?) or Foley (the army guy), but Kelly is $hit IMO
I don't think anyone was ever demanding that we get Cork refs. All that people have said is that we should not have a Dublin ref when we're playing a Dublin team- would you disagree with that? I think on the same principle, its wrong for a Cork team to have a Cork ref when playing a non-Cork team. That said, I think Kelly is the best ref in the country, although what people are saying does have an element of truth- he seems to try a bit too hard not to be biased towards us.Quote:

Buttimer is probably the worst ref in the country. :mad: In fact, IMO Cork refs in general are very, very poor.Quote:

I'm delighted we don't have Cork refs reffing our games regularly. Cork officials in my opinion spend too much time trying to be impartial and end up raping the Cork team in the process. Always the same.
O'Regan was awful on Friday night, more interested in topping up his tan than reffing the game.With certain refs its too much about them and not enough about the game itself.
1 City moaned about Kelly. :rolleyes:
:mad: The last time i checked,referees were impartial across the board.It has nothing to do with where they come from...thats just being idiotic!!! As for doing anyone favours or trying to hard to be impartial...i rest my case.No matter how hard people try to educate fans about referees, the more ridiculous the posts become.
Lets get Uriah Rennie back over more regularly,and let him EDUCATE ye :rolleyes: :eek: Some people really dont have a clue.
Refereeing is about,professionalism,and calling a game as it presents itself..not about doing anyone any favours.
As for professional refs....first of all you need a professional Football Association! :rolleyes:
Ah no sure you're grand, anything but Rennie, the first ever Rennie to actually give indigestion. (I'll get me coat)Quote:

I will agree its a thankless task especially amongst football fans but sure do your best (for us) Alan thats all we ask.
Get a grip on yourself there boy, and calm down.:rolleyes:Quote:

Good luck to Cork but any true soccer fan knows that what happened on Friday and last night was nothing short of disgraceful and leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth. :mad:

City fans know all about bitter tastes in the mouth, we have had our fair share of them already this season.
However, blaming Kelly is a bit much, he left some of your players away with murder last night, some of the tackles flying in were appalling, it would not have been unfair if your team had got 7 or 8 cards.....
your having a laugh. There was great last ditch defensive tackles and to say that we kicked your lads around the place is a great diservice to our players who are all Part Timers .
There wasnt much of a gulf in class considering our team costs a quarter of what ye spend on your full timers.
What has being part-time or the cost of players got to do with the really bad tackles that quite a few of your players put in last night?...:rolleyes:Quote:

We also missed 2 clear cut chances at the end of either half.
I wish Cork all the best but over the 2 games there was no way the better team one. :mad:
Of course Galway should have won because they scored so many goals! :rolleyes:Quote:

You put up a brave fight against a top side and can be proud of that.
You didn't do enough to win either game though, nothing is going to change that fact.
If you play in the league like you did against us on Friday night then perhaps you can rescue your season and get promoted.
We'd love another trip back to see Eyre Square when it's finished. ;)

It looked like a penalty from where I was sitting but I was a good bit away and couldn't clearly see if there had been a foul on a City player prior to that.
Can anyone verify this? Stick to the facts, please.
Was JC at the game?
With regard to Alan Kelly, he's at least UEFA Category/Grade 2 referee.
UEFA respect him, we should respect him and be glad to have such quality officials in our game. This also goes for Buttimer and Stokes.
No he was at the Cross, Sure isn't he Avondale manager now.Quote:

and he felt the same as every other GUFC supporter robbed and cheated and apparently Michael Devine not alone admitted that it was a penalty but that he should have been sent off and a galwegian living in Cork heard George O'Callaghan on Red FM saying it was a definite penalty.Quote:

Well i think the Galway man was dead right when he said their players were not professional cause if there were anything that resembled professional they wouldn't be second from the bottom of the first.
He aslo said there was no gulf in class well it hink he summed up his football knowledge with that statement as always a follower of an underdog will say after his team had nealry got a result there wasn't much between the teams never understanding that you can get almost and players of limited ability do run around chase and hary other players while making no attempt to come out and attack.
League tables never lie and cup football is a one off.

I think City fans should be big enough to say that Kelly was very kind to us on this occassion. Looking at tv3 last night there was no way that it was a penalty,I also felt that many decisions went against Galway.I was actually surprised that Galway players didn't create any fuss at the final whistle.We've been fcuked over many times by Dublin officials but it shouldn't mean that we get Arsene Wenger glasses when we get the "rub of the green".Maybe if all fans could be a little impartial and sideline their biases when assessing ref's performances it might hasten much improved standards overall.
at the end of the day over the two games we had two big calls go our way, if i was galway fan i'd nearly be in tears as we know what its like (away to shels in the setanta cup). You just have to try and beat the 12th man aswell on certain days and get on with it.
aaahhhhhh, how cute...... :DQuote:
