Posted about this in the CL updates thread. Very confusing at the moment. Werent actually shown red cards and only found out about it today. Still not sure why as no reason given in referees report apparently.Quote:

Apollon players and fans were scumbags the whole game.
Disappointing that Danny and Joe reacted to something if thats what happened.
Huge loses against Red Star
Looks like Geroge and Damien are going to have to make up now eh
I really hope so. And flyyny being available is vital too. With our strongest team out i honesly dont think we'd beat Red Star(but was looking forward to giving them a good game)...never mind saying now :(Quote:

There were ugly scenes after the final whistle as a row erupted on the pitch. It now seems that two of Cork's players will be ruled out for at least the first leg against Red Star Belgrade while the seriousness of a red card after the final whistle is very likely to result in at least a two game ban for each player.
The red card for Murphy marks third of the season and the second he has managed to collect after full-time.
The news will further expose Cork's small squad and inexperienced players will now have to be introduced as replacements.

NOT good news what so ever !
Woeful statistic - obviously hasn't learned at all from the previous incident - can't understand how players can let themselves get involved in stuff like this - the game was over, Cork had won - why go get yourself sent off after fulltime?Quote:

To be fair he didnt start anything. Im not certain what exactly he did but he was not involved by choice. Im not saying he was right to react if thats what happened but its not like he went looking for trouble.....he was bloody assaulted by their officialsQuote:

Whatever about Gamble, who i have a lot of respect for, Danny Murphy is a hot headed little fück. He was lucky to be still on the pitch for the final whistle in the first place.
I wonder will Rico be handing out two weeks wages fines for the boys for their stupidity.
I don't blame the cork players,they were attacked and were defending themselves,hopefully the ref gives the right report!
According To Club's Site They Miss The First Leg; But The Club Are Investigating Any Possible Appeal Procedures.
I agree with you but i dont think he reacted straight away. We didnt see it happen on the pitch but people are saying the red cards were given for something happening in the tunnel. I dont see how this happened though as the city players came to the fans before leaving, unless Apollon players and officials were waiting for them in the tunnel.Quote:

The fact that Joe was involved as well is what makes me wonder what actually happened. Danny may have a temper but Joe certainly isnt known for his. It mustve been fairly serious
you could see something happening from far off on TV, but the camera's wouldn't zoom in on it. It was mentioned by Ger Canning, so what happened, happened on the pitch.
Watch RTÉ news tonight, they might have got the footage!?
Also did anyone see Dan Murry's 'dive' as a joke after an Apolleon player went down? One of the funniest things I've seen in football, and he got a yellow card for his troubles :)
Joe seemed to be unahappy with the Apollon players diving during the game. Maybe because he was already wound up by them was why he ended up taking out his frustrations?(I don't know for sure what happened but as micls it must have had something to do with the altercation)
Was hilarious.......but it showed up the ref given that was the only dive he booked the whole game :rolleyes:Quote:

Ask Réiteoir, he's the referring expert around here.Quote:

Cork players wouldn't have gone to the tunnel for a good while after. The scuffle was on the pitch, then the players went down the other end to the fans.Quote:

The players and rico knew nothing about until todayQuote:

Well they need murphy and gamble badly,so i don't think they have any other choice,unless they can convince that o callaghan clown to come backQuote:

Andy Needham being hit by a bottle with surely mean tough action by Uefa?
What happened with the appeal?
Yesterday wasn't it?
Think its today
I'd give them close to no chance tomorrow night if they don't have Gamble and O'Callaghan. Colin O'Brien is no more than workmanlike and Softic (should they bring him in) is obviously grossly inexperienced for a game of this nature. At least O'Flynn is playing, which gives them the option of playing Fenn/Behan somewhere else, though that would hardly be ideal. If ever they needed Georgie it is now.
Both suspended for both legs and a 5000 euro fine for CCFC. UEFA cúnts!
They must have done something then!Quote:

€5,000 is a fairly substantial fine. Will Rico keeo to Georgie form and make the lads pay themselves :)
Seems like karma for all the GAA appeals that have gone Cork's way. If City had Frank Murphy pleading their case they'd probably be given a walkover against Red Star!Quote:
