Barry Cogan released by Barnet

[gustavo]

clear off to you own forum paddy

PP knows a thing or two about Barnet so his input is welcome as does RT about Rovers so they are doing no harm debating it out

[gustavo]

How can you have a debate with Stupidity ? Somebody who gives his point "as i would say" basically guesses and then thinks it is fact . All i am simply doing is giving plastic an opportunity or a platform to make a bigger fool than he already must feel. He supports a country and knows nothing about football in the country but yet wants to lecture me on it.

You are the one doing the name calling , all he was doing was giving his opinion on a matter , you may have disagreed with it but theres no need to question his Irishness

[neutrino]

I doubt Barnet pay any more than what the top guys get paid at Rovers anyway

no english clubs can afford way more than rovers. sure keith gilroy makes more in the conference that he would with rovers. anyway the way things are going we'll not be affording much anyway in the future.

Swansea and Cardiff? Hares and hounds together spring to mind.

...that's no more than hearsay.........don`t bring them into it ( Irish band of the nineties PP )

.....You do the maths - if you can - and you'll see that suggests a wage bill of at least £500k.....

Oh my sides! You'll need to do better than that, I'm afraid. Searing wit just doesn't seem to be your forte.

..and is PP entitled to these "opinions", or is it the case that some people can voice "opinions" and others can`t.

What wrong with Cardiff and Swansea ? Are they not a low enough for you?

They just happen to be deadly rivals. I don't see how you could follow them both. A few of the other eL posters follow Cardiff - just go and ask them how often they would come across that particular combination.

Sources ? Sure where is your sources for an ex Barnet players wages ?

I used to play for them and speak with Paul Fairclough, their manager, on a regular basis. Is that good enough for you?

Our annual wage bill is €900k

So you do have a sugar daddy unless you're filling the Showgrounds to capacity every other week. Or maybe you just made it up.

Look go on to the the main part of foot.ie forum ask €1175 is sure a decent wage but it is not unheard.

Yes, at the bigger clubs like Cork, Drogs and Derry, but not at Sligo. Look what happened to Shels when they were paying those kind of wages. I think I know a little more about eL and Irish football than you think I do.

Sure if you want sources your going to have to look them up yourself or start a thread on the Eircom league section.

Anyway you be laughed out of town if you think that Barnet would win the Eircom league if they entered it.

I don't think I ever claimed that now, did I?

Don't worry if searing wit is not my forte football in the country where your crest is from is not yours ! However you seem to excel when it comes to ignorance.

Hey plastic at the end of the day I'm a Irish football fan and you are not

And the source is me, and this is what you are

Ahh, the old "you must be English" line. Never heard that one before. Maybe when you've travelled a little of the world yourself you'll understand more the impact of Irish emigration and why people like me assert our claim to Irishness. I sometimes wonder why we bother though when we have to suffer "countrymen" like you.

PlasticPaddy is a known WUM. Whilst he is entitled to his opinion, however wrong it may be, I think it's best that fellow Rovers fans just focus on questioning the post, and not be drawn into a slanging match.

I think I know a little more about eL and Irish football than you think I do.

In fairness PP, this post shows how much respect you have for the EL.

I think you're conflating "knowledge of" with "respect for", Sligoman (which in any case would suggest I have no respect for the eL, its clubs or fans, which is patently untrue). I stick by what I said previously; after all, Watford have spent this season as an English Premiership side and, given that they gave a creditable enough account of themselves, I'd suggest that they could currently beat any team from the eircom League.

That's not to say that individual players from the eL aren't capable of the step up to the top tier of the English game (because it's clear from recent examples that, given time, they are) but it seems unlikely that eL clubs could make the transition in competition as they just do not have the resources at their disposal. All however hypothetical, of course, and I'm happy to be convinced otherwise in reasoned debate.

PlasticPaddy is a known WUM. Whilst he is entitled to his opinion, however wrong it may be, I think it's best that fellow Rovers fans just focus on questioning the post, and not be drawn into a slanging match.

A known WUM, huh? I don't think we've ever exchanged two words before now, me fine fellow, so I'm curious as to how you draw your conclusions. For the record, I was a moderator on one of the highest-used foot.ie fora for two years without too many problems. I don't think I'd have been allowed to continue for long by the powers-that-be were I the WUM you suggest. Always passionate, occasionally patronising but not in it for the wind-up. I assure you.

Like you, though, I don't want to be drawn into a slanging match despite ongoing provocation but I'll defend my right to question vigorously anything that isn't correct or doesn't seem to add up. Something RT said earlier in this thread wasn't right, pure and simple, so I pointed it out. That's not against the rules, is it?

These really begger belief than somebody from another country is telling me they know more about football in my county than i do

Once again I would ask you to show where I claimed this, because frankly such a claim would be nonsense. That's the second time on this thread that you've failed to read one of my comments properly and then gone spouting off. Take your time next time and respond properly if you respond at all.

As for your cheap jibes regarding my place of birth and consequent claims to Irishness, I really can't be arsed to "debate" it any further. I'm fairly sure though that you don't question Kevin Kilbane's claim to Irishness each time he takes the field for his country (and wouldn't have done for Paul McGrath, David O'Leary or countless others preceding), so on what basis do you have the right or the reason to question mine?

Sorry to resurrect this one again, lads, but the impression seems to be that Barry Cogan was released by Barnet. He was not. Barnet failed to agree terms with him and he became a free agent. All the indications are that he will be moving up a division to Gillingham.
