Cork in the cup

**Red&White Rover** · 15/06/2009, 3:31 PM

I'd like to point out that while in Supermacs in Charleville, the computer I was on was hijacked from me by 2 unidentified assailants hence the ridiculous posts...

Also I heard that Cork are f*cking about with regards payment of the gate receipts Rovers are entitled to. Not sure if it's been paid by this stage but by yesterday it hadn't...

It was mentioned on the Cork forum the morning after the game:

'Did did anybody hear anything about TNB not wanting to pay Sligo their share of the gate last nite and that he'd give it to them on Tuesday in Sligo - I think we could be in trouble on Monday!
I also heard the FAI official had to get involved in the end to sort it out.'

'Lot of hassle by the gate.....Sligo were counting and some tickets sold in the shop were not accounted for....TBH nothing surprises me anymore '

Absolute disgrace if that's what's going on. Also, see this:

Cork City Football Club wishes to confirm that in the High Court today, the case under the Companies Act was adjourned for four weeks.

Cork City FC has made payments to the Revenue totalling �102,000 and is continuing to work to clarify the exact amount outstanding. The club�s auditors are working to arrange a meeting with the Revenue in order to resolve the issue fully, and it is hoped that this meeting will take place before the end of the week.

The club is pleased that it has been able to make progress towards a resolution of this issue, which will allow the club to focus fully on its upcoming matches. With the club sitting just two points off the top of the League of Ireland Premier Division table, the Rebel Army face Sligo Rovers in an FAI Ford Cup replay tomorrow night and then Dundalk in the Premier Division at Turner�s Cross on Friday night.

How could they not know how much is outstanding? What a joke.
I would never have wanted to see them out of business but they are taking the p*ss now with the gate receipts as well.

We can just keep their share of the gate tomorrow night, heard today that Boco will be playing

Great news. Peers is out so I assume Boco and Raf up front and Feeney in defence with Ventre.

**Knappagh Red** · 15/06/2009, 4:48 PM

There is a chance that Peers will play, Holmes is doubtful

**Shedzer** · 15/06/2009, 5:14 PM

There is a good chance peersy will play... And boco is around ya which is very good!

**sligofan4ever** · 15/06/2009, 5:19 PM

Gavin Peers, Romauld Boco(hopefully both) and Conor O Grady could all be back, if holmes plays aswell we'll finally have a fully fit starting 11 for once!

**Red4Eva** · 15/06/2009, 5:34 PM

are people saying peers could recover from the injury he got on friday or the one he got in training today?

It was obvious Cork would try this. They had to come up with 102,000 by tuesday to save themselves. In fairness we would have done the same thing if we were trying to save our club. I don't think its a huge scandal.

But if i had my way i wouldn't hand them the gate reciepts from tomorrow night. Let them keep the ones from Friday and us keep the ones from Tuesday is what i say.

What injury did he pick up today?

Gavin was training this morning and injured his quad and may be out for up to three weeks.

**Shedzer** · 15/06/2009, 8:17 PM

Sh!t.. Thats very unlucky on the lad and very bad news for us...

**sligofan4ever** · 15/06/2009, 8:36 PM

Thats a huge blow, and with Holmes a big doubt for tomorow too

With Bohs game coming up were going to miss him big time. Hes probably been our most important player this season bar Raf and we'll have to hope Feeney can do a job for us. Lets look on the brighter side of things aswell, we have Conor O' Grady back and possibly Boco aswell, we could easily beat them and hope we go as far as possible. Unfortunatly Cookie hasnt had luck in Cup Competitions since joining us, but season it seems thats finally turned around for him

Our share of their gate receipts will be bigger than their share of ours.
We would lose out.

It will probably be seen as heresy to say this but I think we've been better in games this season without O'Grady in the team.

.....

Really?...always like to see Conor in the team..i cant say ive noticed that!..think he is our best central midfielder.

**dong** · 15/06/2009, 11:49 PM

I think he's been underperforming all season, although he's not on his own in that respect. It's just that when he struggles with the best part of his game ie getting tackles in and covering ground in midfield, he doesn't offer much as his passing has always been suspect.
He was non existent against Bray in the Carlisle grounds when we needed somebody of his experience to get a hold of the game.
Having said that, if he gets back to how he was performing last season he's as good as any at what he does. And it's always good to have local lads in the team.

The story about Cork not paying Sligo their share of the gate last Friday is complete Bull...Sligo left the ground with a nice wad of cash for the return trip back up the road...

Heard that Cork most definetely were adamant on not giving the money to Rovers.
