    Red face FAI Statement on UCD-gate

    Nasty war of words?

    FAI statement on Cork City FC

    The Football Association of Ireland today rejected suggestions in a statement from Cork City FC that the Club had been “unfairly dealt with” in relation to their fixtures schedule.

    The Football Association of Ireland has been fully supportive of Cork City, and our other three representatives in European Competition, and has facilitated them in every way possible.

    The Football Association of Ireland is clear that it had been agreed to play the Carlsberg/FAI Cup fixture, UCD v Cork City, on Wednesday 28 July, 2004 and that this was confirmed at the Domestic Committee meeting on 10 July, 2004.

    The Association has been in regular discussions with both UCD and Cork City to reach a satisfactory resolution to the fixture schedule. Included in these discussions were proposals to move the Cup fixture to either Thursday or Friday of this week. However, the Association was unable to obtain the cooperation of Cork City in this regard.

    Cork City made the decision to play their eircom League Premier Division fixture against Waterford United as scheduled on Friday 30 July, 2004, instead of availing of the option open to them, under rule, to have this fixture postponed.

    The Football Association of Ireland has requested Cork City to provide evidence to support their contention that “private correspondence between the club and the FAI found its way to certain parts of the media” and rejects any inference that any individual from the Association was responsible in this regard.

    Or we could go on to crush all before us, cruise to the title and go on to dominate next seasons Champions League.

    Just depends which side of the fence your on.

    Theres no room for your negativity here mister.

    You are only showing one side of the story and thats the negative one.
    So thats you being negative.

    I thought someone provincial like yourself would want us to go on and defeat the forces of evil from Charloville.

    Be positive.

    no certain cork fans attitude towards the other EL teams in europe changed my thoughts about cork.......everytime you get a negative result it will have a positive influence on me.

    Thats a bit harsh.

    From what I've read on the various threads nearly all City fans hope all the other Irish clubs do well in Europe.

    conor just wondering, if kerry join the league, will you support them ???

    i am free to think of other teams as i wish, add in the dolan factor and the ever growing ego down there ( heaven knows why, you've won nothing ) and it all adds up to me not really liking cork very much. can i be put down for not liking yee lot, don't think so, just look at the anti shels element within your own ranks and get back to me.

    Fair enough max, Sure you're entitled to your opinion.
    In fairness the Anti Shels thing is not just us, its all over the rest of the League.

    Max Power - apart from the obvious fact that you have to be pretty stupid/immature to change your opinion of a club because of what one or two of its fans says, you have to agree that it's pretty sad spending so much time on eth message board of a club you don't even like. Get a life

    just making my point and relpying to posts that i make, its bad manners not to answer when someone talks to you.........

    and if you read my other posts, the attitude of cork certain cork fans towards other el teams in europe is not my only reason, plus you can't be liked by everyone now can you. and at least i'm being honest.
