Feels like I'm at the vet waiting to hear if my dog needs to be put down or will live to see another year.

Eh, Try watching the Town for over 30 years!!

Actually that means I'm supporting them for longer than Cork City are in existance.

Yeah but we had some good times in the 80's and 90's. Whereas the noughties were just downright depressing!! Anyways any word on whether Delaney has to use his own money or the FAI's to buy Cork?

**tippex** · 19/02/2010, 12:39 PM

any official word coming out of cork yet?

**Frank76** · 19/02/2010, 12:44 PM

If and thats a BIG if Cork are relegated and Bray promoted what will Bray do with the players they have signed? Surely the players they've signed aren't good enough to keep them in the Premier Division? Will they get the chance to sign the players from Cork if they want?

**tippex** · 19/02/2010, 12:47 PM

there should be enough players who still arent fixed up with teams yet.
although you cannot take whats up on the pfai site as gospel as it looks like it hasnt been updated in a month or so.

But they can sign out-of-contract players. And there are still loads of them floating about - decent quality ones at that.

So much for the noon deadline!!!

**Scrufil** · 19/02/2010, 1:32 PM

The noon deadline does not mean they have to make a statement straight away. They could defer the statement until Monday and this might be the best option as it will give Coughlan no wriggle room.

**Mad Moose** · 19/02/2010, 1:33 PM

Any idea what time the press conference is scheduled for? Not one bit surprising this is dragging.

**Town Legend** · 19/02/2010, 1:40 PM

Why delay til Monday? That makes no sense. Why not get it out in the open and let Bray concentrate on preparing for Premier Division football if the FAI do whats right?!!! But nothing surprises me with the FAI

**Dunny** · 19/02/2010, 1:41 PM

They are back in court on Monday.

But this time you want the dog put down, in the interest of fairness.

Didn't Cobh get kicked down to the A Championship last year for not having a tex cert in time for licences? How come people are just brushing by that Cork didn't have theirs in time this year and yet aren't being treated the same way?

**Longfordian** · 19/02/2010, 2:03 PM

You must have missed the twenty or thirty times it's been said already. This is going to drag on to Monday evening. Why announce a noon deadline and then ignore it?. They should make their minds up one way or another and let people know.
