Skippy's Suspension

**joe** · 28/09/2001, 10:14 AM

Skip's after getting a one match ban from October 10th, meaning he'll miss the home match against Longford Town.

... does it take so long to sort out suspensions?
A red card means at least one match ban so surely the next competitive match should be an automatic. Even with 50 red cards in one week surely the FAI could have the suspensions sorted so the punishment runs consecutively from the match after the card?
Perhaps I'm missing the point and the delay is so some clubs can re-arrange Leinster/Munster games to use up suspensions.

It's a pity he didn't get 3 matches.

Roy Dooney said he elimiated that loophole in the rule book this year.

They should have given him a suspension for the rest of the season! We don't need him anymore, sure haven't we got plenty strikers!
Don't make me sick! Morley is one of the most talented players in the country and though he may be slowing a little he is still a far more intelligent striker than any other in our squad. He creates an awful lot for the likes of Mulligan, O'Flynn and CP O'Brien who only put away the odd chance. IMO if Morley is fit we have to start with him. Maybe if his critics went to more games they'd be in a more qualified position to judge Skippy. We're a nation of begrudgers and knockers, of that there is no doubt and with respect to this, Cork is the "Real Capital".

well said peadar it seems there arvery few people out there and they are mostly the older supporters that see the benefit of pat morely to the team

still has so much to offer city

Agreed. All this Morley bashing is
a) Getting boring.
b) Stupid
c) Well I'm sure there are more reasons I cant think of now.

Morley is still causing an awful lot of trouble to other defences. He may not be scoring, but he is certainly creating. And no doubt the goals will come.
