"City reception" for D Connor @ U-21 game

**Counting Crow** · 13/10/2003, 7:35 PM

Anyone get to the U-21 game in Switzerland?

If so did that plonker get the reception he deserved from ye?

Hope he was slagged off something terrible?

Updates please............!

i read today on citynet that he heard the city lads slag him rotten and asked why. when he heard why he apologised and admitted he was wrong

not what some people will want to hear but fair play to him if he did

Myself and another City fan pointed out the error of his ways to him in Neuchatel. When we followed him behind the goal for the second half, he came over to us and after a bit of a 'chat' he apologised and admitted he had got carried away.

He then said he'd sign for us next season provided he wasn't stabbed. Any takers?

ahem what about mooney
o'connor only be 3rd choice at most..

and NO_ONE at city's gona be that stupid to sign that ignorant idiot

I think he'd be a good signing and would push Devine for a first team place. His antics were a disgrace but thats over and done with now.

Is it just me who thinks Devine is only an OK keeper?

Probably, yes. After all, it was only last season that a poll of eL fans of ALL clubs put Devine up in top spot for keepers.

**Ozymandias** · 14/10/2003, 1:02 PM

I think Devine is only average......but better than mooney

**bert** · 14/10/2003, 1:53 PM

Have to say I think he's got more presence than Devine, and I'd be happy to see him come here.

Also as I said to him in O'Reilly's after the game, if he carried on like that in Tolka or Richmond for us he'd be a legend.

Where??? It was generally accepted that Barry Ryan was the best 'keeper last season.

**niamh** · 14/10/2003, 4:05 PM

There was a lot of interest in Mick last season. Barry Ryan doing so well was one of the reasons there wasn't so mnay clubs interested in him.

**Colm** · 14/10/2003, 5:12 PM

Who cares if the c*nt apologised?!
Surely nobody believes he apologised because he's sorry?
Maybe he does realise that he got a little carried away but the only reason that he apologised is because he is scared. He saw all the City fans who waited for him outside the ground and it terrified him, he is only trying to take the heat off himself ahead of our trip to the RSC next month.

my sentiments exactly colm

**sadloserkid** · 15/10/2003, 11:37 AM

Colm and thecorner trying to insitigate a Rovers Militia style branch of Cork City fans now are they??? That's a bit rich given the high moral ground they occupy whenever the shoe is on the other foot.

I'm sure Dan Connor is absolutely terrified of all those big Cork boys who'll call him names at the RSC.

Connor acted the prat, deserves a ban and a fine but less of the tedious allusions to violence been bandied about by a few posters here.

That said I'm going to head over to cheer on your U-21 boys today. (UL B@stards!

)

I actually think he is, SLK. From what I've heard he was in almost reduced to tears last week at the prospect of the City fans waiting outside for him.
On a related note, in the programme for the Shels game, both Brian Lennox and Pat Dolan praised the fans for the restraint they showed. Lennox said something like "although the demonstration was not correct, it showed that peaceful protest is the best way forward".
