New Derry City Crest

**dcfcsteve** · 13/02/2010, 12:11 AM

You have to laugh at all those affronted by the fact that City have 1928 on their new crest.

They're the type of dull arses who would write into their local paper in irate personal angst if a journalist made the error of referring to black as a colour.

To those clowns with their g-strings in a twist over this issue, I have one simple thing to clarify. You do realise that our club fell off the face of the footballing earth for 13 years before returning to play in a new league and state, since when it has been referring to 1928 in its crest without you suffering such affrontery ? It's only 25yrs later when the club ends one season with one limited company and starts another with a different limited company - all the while maintaining continuity of kit, stadium, manager, players (obviously not all) and fans that you find it such an affrontery. So cheer up ya boring arses, and go cry about something else somewhere else.

Talk about feeble faux affrontery......

You can be sure a poor thread is about to plumb new depths when you put in an appearance Mr Parker. You're the online equivalent of a pit canary.

And true to form....

If it's the same club, there should be a points deduction based on the new rules brought in after the Cork and Drogheda fiascos last year.

If its the same club, they should pay their 'ducking' bills!

In fairness they've been relegated which is more than has happened to any other club.

Apologies as I believe I started the issue relating to the date on the crest and I accept the explanations Kev has put forward so sorry for forcing Steve (DCFC) into a post taking the moral high ground on the matter as to why the club should continue with this founding date. I've more time and respect for Cork City fans at this stage than I do for Derry City and its cowardly cheating and submission into administration. Its not overly surprising Derry City have done so while of course making as loud as noise as possible on just how wonderful they actually are.

Somebody said 1928 relates to the number of contracts Derry City held before running into administration. I don't think this is true. More like the number of dual/illegal contracts Derry City held. I'd rather be graceful in defeat and sucess starvation than cheat my way in pursuit of 'success' (or a league cup victory and a 3rd place league finish

) .

Let it go lads...just let it go. Its gettin' a wee bit cringeworthy at this point.

As your fellow club supporter says Stephen let it go. Its cringeworthy at this stage. My contributon was the merest apology for having questioned the integrity of the club using a founding date of 1928 as opposed to 2010. I hope you'll accept the following joke as of course its just intended as a joke. Club Honours. 2010. Taking cheating to a new level even by a Derryman's standard. Actually its not that funny. Forget I mentioned it.
