    Probably don't want the hassle of having to sign on to the dole maybe.

    Yeah they'd be waiting for the money for a while I'd imagine.

    I'd imagine most of them don't qualify anyway.

    Hmm, the Feck TV piece has no author listed. Wonder who could have written it! As you say, the whole thing is a nothing.

    George got his name in today's papers, he's won. Crawl back under the rock now George.

    Dunno about that. Often its people who are outside an organisation who are best placed to criticise it.

    Just to ask, is there any other media outlet apart from Fecktv and associated staff saying anything about this? With their own sources?

    extratime and examiner ( I think) both by Alan Smith quoting the original tweets and with quotes from the club saying there is no danger of strike, but that the club are in talks with the players

    From looking at his twitter feed, if I'd previously had any respect for G O'C I'd have lost it.

    This seems like a very manufactured crisis to me.

    Georgie wrote that Limerick should have made Joe Gamble player-manager a few weeks back. I suppose it's better that he's sitting behind his keyboard drunk rather than the wheel of his car.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    Quote from captain Kevin Murray on official site:
    Murray also confirmed that, as is common practice for Airtricity League clubs at this time of year, the players have been in discussion with the club over the last couple of weeks, and was quick to set the record straight in relation to some recent speculation. The captain commented: “Obviously we have engaged with the club over the last couple of weeks.Representatives from both sides have sat down for discussions, and we are happy now that we have come to an agreement. I am aware that there has been stuff mentioned in the press and online, but there is absolutely no truth in any of it. The discussions that took place were always amicable and there was never any mention of any strike by the players. As a squad, we are happy to have it all sorted and we are now looking forward to getting back to competitive action.

    So the 'crisis' is over. Georgie will be gutted.

    My money is on him attempting to take credit. He stands up for the underdog you see.

    hes a bitter bitter man who can't accept that Tommy was right not to offer him a contract renewal in 2011, and that hes past it.

    He was great in his day, and its a pity he squandered his talent, but the club has moved on. Its an even greater pity things have gone this way as he will always be a legend for what he did on the pitch.

    Have only lost more and more respect for Georgie since 2005. What a shame he did nt realize his full potential as a footballer other than the 2005 title winning season.
