"Some weeks the lady is good looking and some weeks they're not. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi". - Ian Holloway
and the echo jumps the gun again, why dont the report things like this when theres a massive concert with 50000 people attending, some of them dont get permission till 2 weeks before its due to happen, lazy journalism the #1 reason NOT to buy the echo
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
It was in the court section not the sports section and it featured an small interview with our noble chairman who said that he hoped the club can obtain the licence not that they have obtained the licence which is why the issue of the licence has been raised in recent days.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Its like this punisha, as of yesterday and time of print of the echo, there was some issue(planning?) with the concert, so nobody was telling lies - ... and as of today and the timing of my post all has been rectified and concert is going ahead! . . . - again no lies being told.
So now you have he 'ins & outs' of it.
CONCERT IS ON - HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
No need to worry. Anyway, how worried can a person get about €20would be very worried if i had bought a ticket already
In fairness. It was nothing more than a sub-headingbig headline in echo last night
Almost correct.club wont know if it can go ahead until next wednesday
I haven't seen the complete Echo but I did read the article yesterday. I believe it was in the 'Courts' section. Must have been a slow day. I also believe the article was penned by a guy who wasn't even in the Court that day. Loking back on the articles content the guys states:
Ramblers had 4500 at the Cork City game earlier this year. Wrong. That match took place on 29th March 2008 (18 mths ago), which was probably the last time said reporter was in Cobh.
Objections raised by redidents: Wrong. No residents in Count to object to application and no objections officially received by local Gardai from the date the gig details were released right up to the court application hearing.
Won't know until 48hrs beforehand if they get the licence. Technically right but Wrong. Could have been written better. Licence was granted, but planning needed to be looked at if there would be more than 5000 in attendence. That will not be the case and it's just a matter of returning t cout to hear the Man say ok.
People could sit here all day and pull that Echo article to pieces it's that bad.
Like DonRamo says ''All local bodies and authorities are fully supportive and 100% behind the gig which is great to see. Ramblers were also issued with a full Music & Dance licence.lazy journalism the #1 reason NOT to buy the echo
