Stand Up For The Cork City!

[Colm]

don't see how it would hurt football in Ireland. It's only a chant!

[nice one sham]

What is it about football that makes some people need to spurt out noxious abuse at other teams and their supporters? Some of the rants on this forum are an embarrassment to our club. The “we fcuking hate Shelbourne” thread is pathetic. City have thousands of supporters who are passionate about football, interested in the League of Ireland and supportive of efforts to make attending Irish football games a worthwhile experience. Yet a few pea brains claiming to represent our club log on to this and other clubs’ websites and spew their bile at people they don’t even know because they...erm... follow an Irish football team! The Waterford United message board is bombarded with abuse from these hate-filled desperados, as is the Shels board and others, with the result that we are fast becoming the most despised club in the league! Well City fans don’t deserve that reputation. Cork City F.C. should be respected as a positive force in Irish football and not as a haven for blinkered delinquents. Rivalry and banter are essential football traditions but those who stoop to degenerate slandering are essentially just talking about themselves.

what a sad sad man you are.

its all a bit of fun and its great to wind up shels fans before the game..........i wouldnt read to much into threads like that days approaching the game


you should see the shels MB ha ha

I agree with you.The abuse and taunts on the Waterford United message board for the past few weeks and since Sundays FAI Cup final defeat has been unreal.This will fire up other clubs to beat you more and your fans are getting a reputation for being annoying and it could be counter productive as there'll be more hostility shown towards you by rival clubs and fans.

"get out there and beat them, did you see what they were saying about you on our own forums"

Well, take me for example. I'm not a big soccer fan, or at least I am but I'm more into the business side of things. People like xtreme rebel seem to think that means I know "nothing" about eL football (and of course he's entitled to that opinion), but it doesn't, it just means I probably know less than most about some aspects of the game.

However it doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to go and see more matches, and in fact now that I have a youngfella to take along with me, I really would like to do that. But I'd want to go to watch the game, not to hear the Shed shout profanity and abuse. Banter, fine, I like a joke as much as the next man, but not rubbish like "we fcuking hate Shelbourne".

I don't want my kid to have that kind of rubbish shoved down his throat at matches, and I'm sorry but the "sure he's going to hear it anyway" argument doesn't work on me: Maybe he will, but that doesn't mean I should encourage it further. And it's not just about the kid anyway: I don't want to hear it. I don't see why I should have to, after all it's supposed to be about football, isn't it?

So I'm just one guy, who cares about me? But what about all the other dads out there that want to bring their kids to matches? What about the families that the club has been specifically targetting? Should football only be about "The Lads"? Should you guys only be allowed go, because you've been fans for years? How do you make new fans then?

If Irish football is to continue to go mainstream, we need those new fans. That's the hurt I'm talking about. Otherwise it'll just revert back to the way it was just a couple of years ago. Is that really what you want Colm? It's not what I want anyway. Mainstream football is good for all of us as far as I can see, even people like me that know "nothing" about it.

Anyway, I'll shut up now, cos if I hit the Edit button instead of Quote one more time I'll likely go insane.

"Your" and "cool" are the correct spellings.

I think you mean "You're".

You do have a point Adam. My partner wont let me bring her newphew to matchs because of the chanting. The result is hes just got his first Man Utd jersey with the word "Rooney" emblazened on it. Pukerama

[Pablo]

I'm not "cool" actually....but I could think of a few words to describe you though. I'll refrain cos you'll act all macho and ban me.

you cant get banned just because you disagree disagree with Adam surely?

[A face]

Lads .... i think we should save it all for tomorrow night.

For what its worth .... threads that start with "We fcuking hate Shelbourne" is fairly tacking lads .... chill out lads.


C'mon City !!

[GavinZac]

no, but he can get banned for giving cheek again. if he spoke to me like that on my site, i'd suspend him. well, i would if he wasnt so petty as not to want to register and signs in as vitamin d isntead.

[NorthoftheLee]

vit d is someone completely different than XR. .........FACT!

[citycity]

Who's the loser who started this thead???? League of Ireland?? its the eircom league, get up to date at least. If theres no banter and hatred between clubs theres no point going to see them play. As the famous George Hamilton once said, "You sir are a idiot"???

[GavinZac]

And you wonder why YOUR site is so ssssssshhhhhhhhhhh!!???

vit d is someone completely different than XR. .........FACT!

corkcityfc.ie is a brilliant site, NOTL, but i dont see why ours is shhit, all they have that we dont have is a formation composer that their brother made, video downloads which i could do easily, but im not allowed by chorus, and press releases from the club, and i dont particularly want to write up whatever the echo said today for those, like corkcityfootie.com did.

[NorthoftheLee]

1. I never said it was 'crap' ..it's a good effort.
2. I was having a go at Gav's "if it was on MY site, I'd ban him" attitude
while all along saying it was a city fans site for everyone.
3. Watch me tonite closely and you'll see what effort is......

2. Read my above post.
