sure why not leave a player at home and pay for her
they can't pay for everyone in fairness.
if people want junketts they should run for local government
We met a woman in CharLeroy airport on Monday morning who was in tears.Take that "nearly" out of that sentence, it's ruining a good story!
"SHANE?"
Have Boot Disk, will travel
AFAIK Noelle is an employee of Cork City football club? Based on that assumption if she has a role in the way games she should not of course have to pay her own way otherwise its just a junket.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
I know Dolan brought 26 players to Sweden, that in my mind is complete overkill. A total waste of club funds.
Not sure how many were brought last weekend but for someone who has done what Noelle has done for the club i would definitely have sacrificed a player who was never going to feature for Noelle to travel.
Def. As someone else on this board pointed out - she helped at least one City fan get home.
Maybe bringing all the players along is simply to give them a feel for European games. Or do we not consider player development to be important?
This may seem harsh, but maybe Lennox felt the club can't take too many members of staff for financial reasons. I don't want to take away from what any individual person has done behind the scenes for CCFC, but if their presence is not deemed essential at an away game, then they shouldn't have their travel expnse covered. It's a business after all.
As for helping City fans get home, thats great. But it shouldn't entitle you to a free junket.
what a stupid arguement. it could be said that having a good playing surface at the X is important to the club. Then why wasnt the groundsman taken?
or the tea lady.
or everyone else who makes the club run on a day to day basis. ridiculous debate IMO
Anyone think of, like, asking the club? Or would that be too much of a break from the usual idle speculation? Where would we all be without the bitching and whining like?
Phone number's in the book. (Yes, I was shocked too.)

should this not be in the rubbish forum? its not about football
Speculation about transfers and suchlike, certainly, but this?
It is about City though. :shrug:should this not be in the rubbish forum? its not about football

i dunno..............its a bit personal regarding the woman in question.
in bad taste IMO
I helped 4 City fans get home from Shannon on Sunday. I drove them to their front doors. Actually Ive been driving people to away (and home) games for years.
I look forward to my junket in Nantes on the back of that.
....... and I told a few people what the final score was, maybe a free season ticket for me.
The club isnt a bloody charity. I dont see/hear hard working people for the club like Finbarr O Shea moaning about it, or people wondering why Finbarr hasnt got a freebie.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
"loose lips sink ships"
or something to that effect
22 would have done for proper training matches, why 26 ?
A waste and nothing else.
As far as I know they were brought.
Noelle dug deep for this club when we were in it up to our necks.
A lot of people here don't remember those days.
Well those days could come round again and I'm sure she'd do the same again despite the shoddy treatment by the club.
Its a disgrace.
John O'Flynn travelled and pulled out injured, so you'd have been one short for a training game, as Dolan said, it was for cover for injuries, and it's good for the club to expose younger players to European football.
Lennox brought two of them (afaik) as an overdue reward for winning programme of the year last year, deserved IMO.
I've a load of time for Noelle, she's CCFC to the core and has done great work for the club, and it'd be great to see the club treat her with the respect she's (well, should have) earned at this stage.
However the point as to what her function would have been in Nijmegen is well made.
Anyway, where did this start, who met her, when did she say she was upset, or is this all hearsay?
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
Sorry to put an end to this thread / chinese whispers etc but a friend of mine traveled with her in the car to Nijmegen ......... there was no tears / problem.
Silly really.

Before some smart alec comes on and says she "flew over".........I meant the car from the airport to Nijmegen!!!!!
