LoI Fixture 6-7 April

**micls** · 12/04/2018, 10:22 AM

The idea that these suspensions will impact us on the pitch is a non runner, unless Nults get suspended. He would be a huge loss. The rest simply won't have an on pitch impact. Not by design or anything, we were just luckier in who decided to get themselves involved!

It's foolish to ignore the potential relative impact it will have on the pithy for waterford, who are currently above us. I'd prefer if the scrap hadn't happened, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not glad those particular players are banned for waterford.

You can call that what you like, but given what happened and how bad it could have been for us, I'm glad that those were the players involved. If McCormack for instance had gotten involved, we'd be in trouble.

We'll have to wait and see if Nults get pulled for his involvement. Cherrie hasn't looked great when he has played so far.

To be fair the real winners are Dundalk and Rovers.

Thank God you are here! Denouncer of all things nonsensical.

I was merely making the point that Waterford's suspensions will hit harder than ours which is a fair point I think. But feel free to disagree. I couldn't care less who "won" the fulltime handbags.

Yep, fair point. Not having players suspended is certainly better than having players suspended!, except maybe Gary Buckley...(i hope he doesn't read this, he's a nice guy!)

I am not defending anything in this thread - nonsensical or otherwise

To be fair I phrased that all wrong.

Is that a parapraxis of your own posts around this subject?

**Briuk** · 12/04/2018, 11:45 AM

When are those suspensions going to be announced?

The FAI will announce Monday, apparently. We have most likely been informed also, but haven't spilled the beans.

Regardless whether Caulfield realized when he was doing it or after he done it was wrong. He still done it and was wrong regardless and it�s as simple as that. This oh he knew he done wrong thing is nonsense because he still done wrong and some Cork are failing to accept that. There�s no justification for a manager entering the pitch of play whether it�s 1 yard or 100 yards and that�s the issue.

Accept your manager had a moment of madness and acted the clown. Accept your loss and move onto the next game. A suspension for Caulfield will probably benefit Cork more then anything

**Crosshead** · 12/04/2018, 11:59 AM

It's a one match ban for Caulfield, four for Beattie and three for Buckley.

I'm looking forward to the measured reaction to that from the usual suspects on here.

Beattie & Buckley will be back for the Dundalk match

Based on the majority of comments above that's better news for us

Absolutely. A week in the stand will do harm at all.
Take the punishment & move on.

Maybe. Opinion has it that Buckley has not been playing well & Beattie hasn't played at all since the game in Oriel so no great loss.

Assuming your information is correct, that seems about right for Beattie, a tad harsh on Buckley, and lenient on Caulfield. Ironically, it could be argued that McNulty was a worse offender than either Caulfield or Buckley, but as he wasn't spotted on the night, gets away with it.

I dunno about that. I've seen a lot of Cork over many seasons and Beattie is always an asset, and without wishing to delve too far into discussions of your form as some will respond childishly, you looked like you could have done with the tenacity he brings, especially in the recent game against Dundalk.

**El-Pietro** · 12/04/2018, 12:36 PM

Definitely think he would have been suited to playing last Friday night against Waterford. Conor McCarthy doesn't get forward enough. But we have 11 right backs so its fine.

**placid casual** · 12/04/2018, 12:37 PM

A lot of hot air over nothing. That wouldn't even constitute a shamozzle in "gaylic gehms"

**oriel** · 12/04/2018, 12:44 PM

Probably fair enough all round, but maybe a little harsh on Aborah for the 6 games. The Cork players probably expected what they got, only thing I'll say is, I think Caulfield possibly got off a little lightly but maybe he's learnt his lesson, and still not sure why Reynolds was sent to the stands?

At least its over now, unless either club appeals ?
