Biggest Flops of the year

[Flea]

Il just add Shane Barrett to the list! my opinion of course, before all his fans attack me

How can Shane be called a flop? Our most exciting player, and the second most talented after Dillo, I'd say he'd even beat Henry over 100 yards! Some critics of him will never let up

I'd put Cobh Rambler's season down as big flop.

Crappy attendences
Inconsistent performances
Lack of visible progress
Change of manager

I went down to cobh a good few times this season and they play good football but it is a club that is living in the dark ages. What is the point in having Cobh in the league? They will never challenge for the league IMO and will allways live in the shadow of Cork City.

Well Harry we may be crap at the mo and that's down to bad off the field management but at least the same club has represented Cobh for 82 years, in the meantime Fordsons, Cork F.C, Cork bohemians, Cork City (mark I), Cork United (mark I) Cork Athletic, Evergreen, Cork Hibernians, Cork Celtic, Cork Alberts, Cork United (mark II) have all come and gone.
Another thing Harry my club still wear claret and blue after all these years and City have changed colours more often than a sick chameleon.
While your club may be the envy of the league in terms of crowds you would do well to remember the very early years of Cork City playing in front of a couple of hundred people at the cross, the majority of your support will whittle away given a few bad results as has been proved in the past.

Well I don't think the present Cork team will suffer the same fate as those that have gone before. I know our crowds can go down when out results don't go our way but even at our worst in the last 5 years we would still have more than Cobh. I just don't see the point in being in the league if there is no ambition to do anything.

Is there any truth in the rumour that the club is going to back to the MSL? This was hinted at by gareth cronin in this month's Spotter magazine. Would Cobh even win the MSL?

Well said by the fan of the beaten FAI Intermediate Cup finalists of 1945

Flea,I cant decide whether you are being sarcastic or not.
Barrett was our biggest fop and in my opinion was lucky to stay(even do it would have saddened me).Going form being one of the best young players n the league to just about starting(in a different position).He has never been the same since his injury.He can have all the pace in the world but he has lost his ball control.At the start of the season,I blieved that he just needed a bit of confidence but it never happened.He has talent but he needs to realise that.

Noel King.Nuff said!

He did not leave you in such a state that Felix Healy could not steer yiz to promotion, not to mention the Divisional title.

No I think in 2003 Doolin leaving UCD and in 2004 Collins leaving Dublin City left their teams in a lost worse states of chaos then Finn Harps were, to be fair. Though I do understand your feeling towards him. King behaved better towards Finn Harps than the other two which is to his credit.

Sure Alan Murphy has to feature in the flops of the season €22k(which we paid, unlike Shels) and 6 goals

Lay off the Murph. A striker is only as good as his supply.
