    Show me where I say that Cork City deserve more punishment? Cork did break rules, that's why they were deducted points surely? If more offences are uncovered, by any club there should be further punishments handed out. Why bother with rules otherwise?

    Personally I'm just a bit taken aback at the classless, snide trite thrown at a frustrated UCD fan (and I am very aware that you are not guilty of this) and that was where my original post came from.

    And my first LOI match was Limerick against St.Francis.

    What?

    Its fairly simple. Pats are relying on a sugar daddy, his name is Mr G. Kelleher

    Cork City were relying on a sugar daddy his name was Mr. G. Walsh

    ours got fed up, can't tell you what changed his mind, but he changed his mind an left us with debts that his employess (through Arkaga) has racked up.

    kelleher may well stick with in the long run. He may not, I hope for Pats sake he does, but if I was their fans Id be getting worried and I'd be looking to get some sort of contingency plan set up.

    If you think my posts are crap, why not explain how exactly to me, rather than posting idiotic smilies and not actually saying anythign other than I'm wrong.

    I was obviously wrong about one thing. I thought football fora were for football discussion

    UCD have never reneged on paying players/staff wages. We are living within our means and we havent had to be bailed out by last minute investors and pleading to supporters (Sligo). We have not gone into receivership.

    If we had done a Cork and spent mad money that we didnt have to buy better players, go into receivership, renege on wages, make drastic cuts of staff/players etc..and scrape a recovery plan before the end of the season we may have stayed up.

    How fair is it that we do things correctly and Cork and others 'cheat' buy buying players they can't afford, they stay up and get bailed out and we go down?

    So many clubs this year have had drastic finanical problems. If you can't run a business properly, like so many clubs have proved this year then you shouldnt be allowed in the league. It should be the FIRST priority.

    Rant over.
    I dont get your point in regards to us,
    we are a community based club who have asked the community to raise funds to keep the club afloat. Our players are paid on time, everytime and our debts have been greatly reduced and are very small in comparison to others. I dont think we have gained advantage over clubs because our people have come together as a unit and sorted our own problems out and kept an 80 year old club still going strong

    .
    Nether have Sligo Rovers all players have always been played on time and that’s something we are proud off

    SRFC are a community club who have never been in receivership. Ok now and again the club will rely on the community for help to keep our club alive we don’t depend on a collage, a money man or a council to keep our club going. We might never be a big club but will never die and we will keep the red flag flying

    Enjoy the graveyard

    Could be worth it depending on the artist.

    Really though, don't drink and post.

    Agree with SLK though. The snidey remarks aimed at UCD are pathetic. Why do some of you despise them so much? Coz yer team can't beat them? This "add nothing to the league" argument is bu ll**** in fairness....thats not how football works.

    Personally I believe it stems from certain eL followers' insecurities about their own club and the league and their need to justify their support thereof to either barstoolers or others. UCD are a microcosm of the league and exemplify some of its major problems and shortcomings, namely a lack of support and resources. Bizarrely, fans of other clubs, who profess that one should support their local club, continually castigate and put down UCD citing odd notions like "they bring nothing to the league". As if leagues around the globe don't have clubs of varying sizes including some with attendances a minute fraction of the largest clubs in their respective countries, as if it isn't a fact of footballing life that there aren't clubs with varying resources and have to temper their ambitions accordingly. I'm all for a bit of banter but the scorn poured on us is strange considering the context all our clubs operate in.

    End of the day if your can't finish above Finn Harps you deserve the first division,there must be serious deficencies in the coaching system if the cream of Irelands talent on scholarships are struggling that badly.

    Firstly there is no evidence Cork City will fail to match the 65% wage rule yet as it is judged over a full season. If we break that I expect we will be punished. The same rule applies if we fail to pay our players at the end of the season.

    We are currently in Examinership which we have already been punished for which probably sees us out of Europe next season through the league.

    It is ironic that UCD complain about hand outs. How can they run a semi pro team on roughly 500 fans a game? You must be receiving indirect support from the University. You pays for the admin salaries? Who pays for the sports scholarships? What is your budget for the season & how do you run a club when first division sides can't pay players on similar budget?

    Would you actually read one of my earlier posts in the thread? This has been outlined ad nauseum by UCD fans before both here and on the CCFC forum.
