Ya well before I said that there was rumours of Dundalk players taking a pay-cut, and I got swallowed for it

Yeah but his rumour wasn't sh*t stirring, that's the difference.

Your rumour* conveniently came out after our owner said we need to raise more money.

*stuff the voices in your head tell you

**Iorfa2MaccaJim** · 10/06/2009, 5:19 PM

I wonder who Gareth Cronin will bring in at Longford ?

Any rumours Longford fans ?

Quote: (Earlier thread on Dundalk increasing admission prices)

Rumour going around is George O'Callaghan has left to join a team in Greece and the rest of players have to take 30% pay cut so the mst be in serious trouble if the club still needs to increase prices

gufc200, the difference is that when you use unreliable sources (be they inside your own head or from the Galway forum) and then start speculating or drawing your own conclusions, like "the club must be in serious trouble", it is inevitable that you will get roasted.

Particularly as you have developed a bit of a history for this (for example, you recently claimed Dundalks wage bill was €17k !)

Difference between that and my post is that you started a rumour about another club which was started by another clubs fans ahead of anything coming out of Oriel or even our own fans and mine was something that was goign aroudn the crowd at the game last Friday!
I could simply now just start up a rumour that Ian Foster is going to be sacked for poor performances and Jay O'Shea has fallen out with the whole Galway squad because hes ego driven! See its easy!

Look, its a rumour I heard, I said I'd post it to see if it was true and it obviously wasn't. Sorry for all the distress and harm I've caused to ye Dundalk fans

We're not exactly too stressed out about it, point is that why post something as ludacris as that when its completly untrue, our attendances have been at least 200 every game to dat, shop sales are up, bar is raking money in and the fact that it was almost immediately in the press the next day when Sligo, Galway, Drogs, Cork and Pats all had cash flow problems last year and yet there was nothign re us until a post about it was said on another clubs forum that Dundalk are having problems and must cut the budget.

Rogers got sacked for being a clown and Georgie boy couldnt handle the abuse he was getting left right and centre on and off the pitch.

If I had known it was completely untrue, I'd hardly have posted it

cronin was in the running the last time the job was vacant( when alan gough got it). It was probably too soon for him after Waterford but I was talking to one of the interviewers today that met him last night in Mullingar and he said that he means business this time. I get the impression he wont suffer fools gladly. He seems hungry and focused for the job ahead.
