Waterford in for Bi Billy

**suirsider** · 13/01/2005, 4:46 AM

As a 25 year fan of the blues i would love to have Billy play for us next season as I think he could do a great job for us and would get a good few games for us rather than getting a stiff arse on the city bench. I know we may not be able to give him european football but we are building a decent team down in sunny south east. I also know that the athmosphere at the x is superb when you compare it to the RSC but what can we do. All teams have their day and so Cork's day is today but with a population the size of Cork it is the least you should expect. I think our support is **** and sometimes wonder what people want or expect from our local clubs. To regular supporters of the Eircom League it is easy to go to a game but to the fella sitting next to you at work it is a hard explaining to him why you support City or the Blues or Limerick when they would be able to tell you what Ryan Giggs or Frank Lampard had for breakfast. We play in a ground that has less athmosphere than the moon but to the fans that go every week and know the buzz is ****e they still get get the same buzz that supporters get when we score or win a game . It's the same for all teams. AAt the moment Rennie is building a decent team down on Suirside and has made a good start to his career as a manager. I know you City boy's love to hate Rennie (as do hoops fans)thats football but if he came back to Cork tomorrow he would be greeted like a long lost son. I would be a liar if i said best of luck in our Munster derby's next season .These are the games I really like to win not because you are a good team (which I think you are) but becaue thats what local derby's are all about. Either way I hope to be in the x when European football comes around again shouting for city (wishing it was the Blues). Our day will come again soon. We might even get a new stadium. Good luck for the season.(There is football beyond the pale. Two teams in Munster..........PS. Wake up now I'm finished

Of course, I was just stating that Billy was not amongst our best players.
I said nothing about the size of the squad.

In fact this is what I said.

I disagree, in his 1st spell he was by far the best winger in the country by a mile who scored some spectacular goals and earned himself a move cross channel. I'll never forget that goal in Oriel Park what a goal, what a celebration.

Our squad is amazingly young. Our team is build around a few players in their early 20's.
His experience, even just at training or around the club is vital to the younger players coming through.

C.T. will be delighted to read this!
