...is a CHEAT. I've seen him cheating against Shels countless times and tonight proved that it wasn't the Shels-tinted glasses. He should have been sent off before the goal and tried to get a Derry player sent off. I personally think O'callaghan is the best midfielder in this country bar Weso and Hunt but I've no time for cheats

Boo Hoo Hoo, the little $hels baby is having a tantrum....Awww....:D
In all fairness, O Callaghan is a wonderlfully tallented player, but could do without that side of the game, thought he took a tumble in the box in the first half aswell
But fair play got the winner and all the accolades
I saw his dive in the box in the first half. Surprised he didn't get booked.
The incident with the Derry Goalkeeper was a bit silly, but imagine if he had won the ball and scored from it, we would have been praising his never say die attitude etc etc. It's a fine line.
And the coolness to score that high pressure penalty!!!
Georgie = Legend :)
I tend to disagree - a good player alright thoughQuote:

We love you Georgie
Cos you wear white boots

He got hit on the leg with the ball in front of us last night and went down clutching his face.Quote:

As mentioned by others, he is a fantastic player and a matchwinner but no-one likes a cheat
Ah come off it, that was nothing! "clutching" is a bit ott, and it was more out of frustration more than anything else IMOQuote:

BTW i don't condone Georges actions by any means, in fact my opinions on Geroge are well known.
I suppose it's all part of the skills that makes him such a feared player to go up against.
The defenders are afraid to tackle for the ball because they don't know if he will drop his shoulder and jink past them or throw himself onto the ground and start screaming like a bitch.
About a 50/50 chance of either happening I reckon.
The other arguement is that skillful players get hacked down in our league and the referees are very tolerant of this, so they have to dive in order to protect themselves. So if you want to watch talent like Georges then you have to put up with the diving.
Fair trade becuase he's probably the most entertaining player in the league after Stephen O'Brien.
He got hit on the leg with the ball, yet went down with both hands over his face.Quote:

However if I was a Cork fan, I wouldn't give a s***e what he does as long as he scores last minute winners:D
Anyone hear him on RTE today? They asked him post match if he was heading out on the rip and he said he was away to have a cup of tea with his mother and father:o
But did he have enough change to get the bus home :confused:Quote:

By the way i do hope Drogs win tomorrow..just so we can hammer you boys in the final and give that Connor more abuse..:D
Bit too much if ya ask me.Quote:

Ah no in fairness to Georgie I thought it was very courageous to not be ashamed to bring onto the pitch the child he and his sister had. Fair play
Yeah ... thats great ... very clever ... you're a real comic alright !! Sit back down now will ya ?? :confused: :o :rolleyes:Quote:

Quality player, though I get fed up of his diving etc, but I do of any player. But at the end of the day, its double standards depending on your perspective.
To put it in context; of those here that support the Irish team - not many will complain when a certain Mr. Duff goes down from the smell of his challengers breath.
Unfortunately it is now seemingly accepted as part of the game the world over, hell look at the English and Spanish leagues. Until something is done about it many players will always do what they can to gain an advantage. Its part of their competitiveness, fair or unfair, whether we agree with it or not.
Didnt know ye worshipped drink drivers down there :confused: :pQuote:

As for connor, wahat was that the cork fans were saying about karma.........
If O'Callagahan was a Shels player he'd be despised by most fans of the EL. I can't stand him tbh. He's a great player but so is Pires, van Nistelrooy and Alexander Frei. And its not just his diving, plenty of players in the EL dive.
Some of ye must really hate Diego Maradonna, he used to handle the ball you know! :o
Georgie is a legend, simple as that. He loves the club and the fans and he's one of the most talented players in the country, not to mention his workrate which is outstanding. I'm no fan of diving, but players of his class get no protection from referees in this league, and its no wonder they go down- you would too if you were sick of getting kicked around the place.
But its not their fault they are sh!t players and dont have a hope against Georgie without kickin' lumps out of him. Georgie is just too damned good so he has it coming to him !! :eek: :(Quote:

No, of course it doesn't. And as I've said, I don't like diving, but the way Georgie gets kicked around the place, its not hard to understand why he does it- even if it isn't right.Quote:

However what he did on Friday was not the result of a heavy challenge which went unpunished.
Georgie appeared to have been watching his WC2002 highlights DVD and decided to recreate Rivaldo's dive against Turkey
Maribor, I didn't see what he did. I've seen him dive before, and he has made himself look ridiculous on a couple of occasions the way he carries on. Like I said, I don;t agree with diving, but I understand why players like George do take a fall.
Equally, if someone's going to dive, you may as well kick them!Quote:
