And apparently not afraid to remove a door when it gets in his way! :rolleyes:
It's good to know that the fans are still behind the team though:

Still, at least they can concentrate on the league now, they didn't really want to win the cup anyway.
Stokes is biased against us. I challenge anyone to explain why Devine was red carded. I had better angle than the tv cameras & saw it as a dive too - Mooneys smile when he got us said it all.
Spare us the excuses for your collapse. Stokes is an inept fool but not biased.
boo hoo, look at the run of decisions against us last season..Quote:

Stokes is useless.
He's taken over from Jim O'Neill in my eyes to being the worst ref for City matches.
Hes overall useless.
Against Pats vs Cork a few weeks ago he allowed time-wasting to go on the whole of the 2nd half and did not give a penno for a blatent and hand ball by a pats player.
But, he was equally as bad for Pats.
This guy was Chairman of the St. Pats supporters club when he was a young fella.
I watched the match - Cork deserved to lose
I don't remember Rico threatening to resign when Kevin Doyle tripped over thin air and got a Harps player sent off early in his last game for Cork........
Look even if Cork lost due to a dubious refereeing decision it does not hide the fact that it was a match Cork should have won regardless. Rico should stop making excuses for not winning like, "the other team defended."
Great news, I would be happy not to have Devine play against us and Rico all upset, should help us take the points.
Look a peno to me.....what's the general consensus from neutrals?
Don't think so, although apparently he was a regular at Pats matches in the Harolds Cross era. Although we've always felt he deliberately gives decisions against us to make sure he's not accused of being biased in our favour.Quote:

Maybe he (and Lennox) should just face up to what a lot of Cork fans are saying on the official club forum - his squad is weaker than it was last season (no Doyle, O'Halloran or Kearney, no replacements for them) whereas the other top teams have strengthened.
I've a lot of time for Rico but he's not doing himself any favours with these outbursts.
Looked ike a peno on telly. The studio pundits thought it was one as well.
Rico's claim that the penalty cost them a place in the FAI Cup is ridiculous. Cork's poor performance is what cost them a place in the cup - end of story. Blaming the oppositoin to deflect attention from this doesn't alter that fact. Cork were very, very unconvincing for the 2nd week in a row. Rico needs to stop gurning and start getting his team to play again.
Did Rico organise a campaign to get our players' red cards rescinded when they were disgracefully sent off for no reason against Cork at Dalymount last November? :mad: They were suspended for the next match against Waterford; we lost, and were eventually relegated.Quote:

Everyone is aware that refs in this country make bad decisions on a regular basis. It was Cork's turn to suffer this time. He should take it on the chin, and grow up!
heard his interview on some Cork station.Quote:

"these fat arse boll....cats in dublin"
"they want to take their expenses and their ****in money"
:D
Roughly what Farrelly had been saying last season (although not blaming Dublin). Mainly GF was going on about unpunished tackles and unfair yellows and reds, but said he would shut up this year because of new disciplinary rules.
Rico has seemed a different person this season. For him he has seemed quiet on the line and doesn't seem as passionate about the game as he usually is. My opinion is that he knows he can't take this Cork side any further than he has without serious funding, but will this funding be made available? Any Cork fans know the answer?
a truly fantastic quote :) :)Quote:

Dry yer eyes Richardson, it was a penalty. Learn the rules of teh game for God's sake.
eL weekly tomorrow will prove that it was a peno.
Village people are so fickle. It just shows how weak City really are. It took the entire league to slow us down when we were firing on all cylinders....it only takes a FAI Cup game to stop City.
He absolutely was involved with Pats, Doc. Phil, Ger and himself saved this club. He was far more than just a regular. For info he spent the first 18 or so years of his life in Inchicore too...Quote:

Even the Longford attacker apologised to Devine - he admitted that Devine didnt touch him.Quote:

Rico says "if one of my players performed like that he would be out of the team and would take him a weeks to get back into it".
Therefore Dan Murray shouldnt be playing for at least 1 month.
Grow up Rico FFS.
"i wouldnt bother my arse"
and people are always raving about his vocabulary!!
The interview is a treat not to be missed by any eL follower, a truly golden moment in eL history.:D
the funniest thing about the interview wasnt Ricos comments but the guy interviewing him....have a listen again,sounds like he is taking the p!ss with the accent and questions.
BTW,this is not meant to mock all cork people.
he is egging him on as well...brilliant
Damo was raving himself on this occasion!Quote:

this is very educational

why is he complaining then
Definitely a penalty. No room for argument.
In any case, Alan Kelly ensures that Cork will always have its place in the league of worst ever refs.
The player that was "fouled" admitted that he dived.Quote:

While anyone can understand the 'heat of the moment', the comments are completely over the top and certainly are thoroughly unprofessional. Rico has to be taken to task for this otherwise it opens the door for anarchy among EL managers.Quote:

If, on reflection, he stands by his comments, particularly his conspiracy theory, and he cannot substantiate this allegation then he cannot be allowed to continue as an EL manager and it would not be inappropriate for the EL to impose a life ban.
(edited to include reference to being able to substantiate, after all he may have evidence in which case he will proved to be totally right!!!!!)
Seems to me he's gone totally native. How easily that Cork paranoia trips off his tongue. Is it something in the air?
Some serious allegations in there: he'd want to have some substance to back them up.
Hillarious stuff! :D Can only imagine the uproar if it was Nutsy, probably be Cark fans screaming for Shels to be docked points or something. Serious punishment is in order here ;) Christ, dragging old games into it and all, lunatic!
SSShhhh, hush you aren't allowed to point out that Cork have become what they hate. You must just be jealous.Quote:
