Cork City denied a licence; club to be wound up; FORAS to enter First Division

After Farrelly is out of the way or if he is ever out of the way, Alan Mathews is up in court next. Who'd back against him receiving a significant judgment?.

In fairness, whatever you might think of Ollie Byrne, he really did care about Shels. I don't think Coughlan is anywhere near as attached to Cork.

Makes you wonder what was in it for him in the first place. He's certainly not become a local hero out of it.

I think it's not possible that he will be able to meet all the requirements to obtain a licence, from what I know both of the situation of the club and of licencing rules themselves.

And where does your knowledge of FAI fudging come into things?

**Longfordian** · 12/10/2009, 1:45 PM

Can't see them fudging it for Tom. Anybody else taking over maybe.

I've gathered quite a bit of data.
Some fudges are a fudge to far, even for the FAI.

It would require a wall of fudge high enough to destroy us all.

I don't think it'll get that far though.

I'd suggest that Cork and the league could do without 'investors' like Coughlan

Poisoners or Rapists would be a more apt description.

So.... the question being asked on our forum is whether Rovers' players would pass a picket in order to claim the walkover?

It begs the question if Cork players would put them in that position?

I'd guess that the players won't travel for the game if they strike. What's the point in getting a bus to Tallaght from Cork [if someone was willing to drive it] only to picket a ground a few hundred miles from where the guy causing the problem is?

The PFAI will sanction any strike, it'll be up to them to request how their members react, I'm sure it's been discussed with Ollie Cahill for example, he sits on the PFAI board and is a Rovers player.

Only in the League of Ireland.

Ridiculous question,PFAI are well represented at Rovers .Ollie Cahill a PFAI rep passing a Cork picket? Rovers players have already shown solidarity with the Cork players by entering the pitch at the cross wearing t shirts .Any points gained against Cork are likely to be expunged anyway .

Its horrible to watch this happening to a Club, when will we know if Cork will be travelling?

**Acornvilla** · 14/10/2009, 8:29 PM

**centre mid** · 14/10/2009, 8:32 PM

Too little too late imo. I'd prefer a boycott but at this stage it doesn't matter the holding company is as good as dead. The best we can hope for is foras buy the name of the club off the liquidator after we are put out of our misery

Why pay a penny for the name of the club ?

Just call yourselves 'AFC Cork City'. Or 'Cork City Banana Whatsit', and then change the name back to Cork City FC after a few years.

It's less about keeping A club in Cork City, it's about keeping OUR club in Cork City.
I don't want to support another club, I just want my club to be something to be proud of.

All very well - but it doesn't answer my question.

Were Limerick any less Limerick when they switched their name to Limerick 37 for 5mins in order to ditch an old owner, before switching it back to Limerick again... ?
