Georgie Signs

[Risteard]

Pity Fenlon has stated he'd be interested in him then.

He said he's always interested when players become available or some other non-committal/bog standard press release type statement

[Carlin]

A Rover's fan working for Bohs I smell a rat!!!!!

Yeah, he's called our manager....

[sadloserkid]

Given the absolute hero worship of him by any of our fans that actually know/have met him then I doubt he's a horrible person.

He's probably a very likeable lad.

The Ego on the pitch on teh other hand............

No - he is actually an extremely pleasant person when you meet him.

Any non-Corkies able to verify this? No?

TO be clear, I am not a Georgie fan, I disagreed with his actions but I do want him back based simply on talent.

Also I have never met the lad.

Given he's from Cork Id wager most people(EL fans) that know him would also be from Cork.

This I can understand but there's a tendancy amongst certain Cork fans (not yourself) to gloss over his less desirable characteristics at times that seems needless. It is perfectly possible to admire his talent and still think he's an odious jerk.

But the fact being, anyone I know that has met him or knows him( a lot) thinks just the opposite.

Now on the pitch and in interviews etc sure all he's doing is trying to wind people up but if you actually see in person the absolute hero worship of lads down here who have met him you'd have to think he's a sound lad to be around.

My cousin is a prime example, George is his absolute idol and after he met him it only increased. He went to see n Ipswich game last year and George brought them to the players lounge introduced them to everyone and sent them home with his boots and shirt. And thats just the younger fellas.

Then theres the older fellas who actually hang around with him and some of the other players and also hero worship him.

That comes from more than just talent.

Do I like his attitude towards football at times, no. But knowing what I do about the effect he has on people who meet/know him then the only conclusion I can come to is that he's a sound lad

Met him, have you?

[sadloserkid]

Met him, have you?

Sure I haven't met you either.

Ever think that what people say or do to people they'll never meet is possibly just a wind-up and certainly not a reflection of them being a "horrible person" or a "complete jerk"?

I certainly hope not otherwise several players would have a very negative portrayal of me. Ah I dunno GavinZac, maybe it's just drink-drivers I have no respect for?

Oh I agree with that, and its partially the reason I can't post on ccfcforums. However, as the saying goes "hes done his time" and supposedly matured from being a "reckless self-absorbed idiot". To call someone a horrible person because of something they did quite a while ago, apologised for, served their time for, and learned from is, to me, unfair.

As for your judgement of me, I mean at least I've insulted your home city rather than barely being aware of its existence á la Georgie

What judgement?

[GavinZac]

What judgement?

The one you declined to specify but alluded to in relation to my question regarding your considering of people you haven't met as horrible people and odious jerks.

To put things into perspective, O'Callaghan was arrested the same year as Wayne O'Donoghue.

I don't think all people I haven't met are horrible people and/or odious jerks if that helps to bandage the wound.

And to get back on topic somewhat I suspect that Boy George is coming home which should please you somewhat anyway.

Somewhat! If it could be a different player of equal ability or if George realises his place in the world, I'd be extremely happy. I do, however, fear George's "Fallout Syndrome".

Reel out the RED CARPET- He's back!!!

so easy to wind up bring on the derby matches,
