No future at Ipswich, his criticisms of the Brighton board mean no loan extension for him and word has it that he wants to come home and be a big fish in a smaller pond again. Bohs and Cork are supposedly in talks with him. I wonder who will sign him next.
What did he say about Brighton?
he thought the wages they were offering him were a joke.Quote:

George will sign for City. Fingers crossed anyway.
Ah Georgie, theres no one I love to hate more
He was only there on loan. The club captain and more experienced players could have said anything that was needing said. Why he felt the need to get involved in the politics of a club when it was clearly none of his business is beyond me.Quote:

Tried once before and were turned down so he could get a big pay rise from Cork and then sat in the stand for months:rolleyes:
Hope he comes back to the league though, we need characters like him. Pity he wasn't playing the night we won the league:D
Very talented player, would still do a top job for any one of the EL big boys

Jesus Mark McGhee must be another anti-irish bigot. ended Glen Crowe's career at wolves and now getting rid of MurphyQuote:

didnt both those players spout the usual nonsense about never playing for another club in Ireland except for city ? Would love to have both of them back in the leauge just for the abuse we could give em , real easy wind ups these 2 .
But they didn't and they had long time to do it. I think what Georgie did was commendable.Quote:

He's a talented player but his attitude is terrible. I actually applauded Damien Richardson, another character I detest, for having the balls to stand up to George and keep him out of the squad.
Examples of O'Callaghan's poor attitude:
-The piece about him at the POTY awards saying he hated all Shels players simply because "they hated him for no reason".
-He injured himself fouling a Bray player in a totally pointless challenge. The ball was down Bray's end of the pitch and he just lunged in wildly and injured himself.
-The talk about how he was going to win the FAI Cup for Cork in 2005 and then he subsequently disappeared in the final. :rolleyes:
At his age, I don't think his attitude will ever be changed and any club that signs him are fools.
If he goes to Bohs he wont last long there. He really doesnt like Jackeens...
And there are too many foreigners at Pats :)Quote:

Brighton are the only club in the FL that run a bit like an eL club - relying on donations from fans at times (Forty Notes Fund, Alive & Kicking Fund, etc) to stay in business. I would have thought he'd be used to clubs having "issues" issuing contracts in time - the Albion live hand to mouth and it can take time to finalise the funding for a bigger contract.Quote:

One of the best eL players in recent times. Come back Georgie.
Don't worry there's still a small bit of countryside in Dubland for Georgie to roll around like a pig in shíte! He'll feel just as he did at home :rolleyes:Quote:

Can you actually challenge what I said?Quote:

How do you know they didn't? Maybe they did in private? The fact this was made public is because of the stupidity of it.Quote:

If someone was on loan at my club and came out criticising the board I can guarantee the whole place would think he'd gone mad. It would be quickly followed by a boot up the hole on the way out the door.
as usual cork fans are ignoring the point . No one is jealous of georgie , he has proven himself to be a total waste of talent and one of the most despised players in Irish football .Hes coming back home with his tail between his legs after FAILING in England . Hes gonna run out of options if hes not very careful :rolleyes:Quote:

George O'Callaghan is a tool.
If you were to make a cartoon of the cocky full-of-himself footballer it would be he.
Personally, I think it's very entertaining.
Also, despite all the crap he stirred up with solicitors etc, I don't think any of the City players would be too bothered or unsettled about him returning.
Although I'm unsure if Colin Healy would hit it off with him.
George up front next season would be a great development.
I was never a fan of George when he was with us. Found his antics rather childish and annoying.
However since he's gone I appreciate what he a valuable player he was. He was ALWAYS looking for the ball (not a lot of midfielders you can say that about) and he definitely drew the attention of the opposition to him leaving the likes of Joe Gamble to get on quietly with his job.
Not sure what our midfield would be with him in the squad but it would interesting to see what happens.
Wish George all the best no matter what he decides.
I was at that game & he was brutal. He practicially just stood in the middle of the field for the entire match & when he did move he was only making half-arsed runs. I know anyone can have a bad game but that wasn't the only time I'd seen Georgie play. He could be devastating on his day but alot of time he just looks like he couldn't be bother even strolling around the pitch.Quote:

He is in your head alright Frank, its not his attitude you are worried about at all. Your hatred is obvious, its eating you.Quote:

Are people saying Cork are trying to sign him but don't have a manager? Also, Cork have one of the best midfields in the country imo, its their strikers and defenders that need to be replaced, especially strikers.
Cork have so much potential but their leadership and common sense seems to let them down.

Yeah, he'll end up suffering from KearneyitisQuote:
