Did Cork mistreat Drogheda?

[sadloserkid]

It's no good putting up a regular poll because the Cork City fans will hijack it so leaving out Corks and Drogs let's take a manual poll here.

Simple question. Did Cork mistreat Drogheda?

I'm starting with an emphatic YES (though I'm aware that the Dublin clubs have treated Cork shabbily in the past as Macy points out that's no excuse really).

So if you support anybody other than Cork or Drogheda leave your mark below!

Oh and James, I'll be watching you with some interest to see how you sabotage this one!

[Schumi]

Yes, I think they did.

[Macy]

Yes they did - whatever about us moving kick off times to suit them, it was basically the same for both Cork and Drogs with shifting the kick off days.....

As I've said on the other thread, Cork were messed around by two Dublin teams (although I'd still think the Pats one is questionable) and have taken it out on two provincial teams...

A big Booooo for Pat "for the good of the league" Dolan....

[Xlex]

I agree with ya SLK!!...

and have taken it out on two provincial teams...

but they're just a sh*t Dublin Subarb...

Just making up for saying they should be relegated on the Licensing thread - just keeping a balance....

If there was an agrrement, well then yes.

Pats play all their midweek games on mondays, so how could they mistreat Cork?

[Bluebeard]

Whatever about how they were treated by the capital, yes, City were a bit dodgy on that deal.

YES!! .....swayed by their decision to stop the Sunday Mid-day Kick Offs for Derry Games too.

[Éanna]

what they did might not have been 100% sporting or fair, but I think it was jusitified, and anyway, drogs had plenty of notice.
So, Yes, but I think people are making too much of it.

By the way, why was no-one from Drogs complaining BEFORE the game, why was it only after they lost that they made an issue of it? City made an issue of the shels game being moved long before the game. Looks to me like drogs only problem was the result, and they're spitting the dummy out of the pram.

[tiktok]

Yes.

we've had these k.o. time agreements with Derry, Dundalk, Longford and Drogheda down through the years, i think we should have at least seen out this season in the spirit it was started, regardless of when the rule change was brought into effect.

[A face]

Yeah ... fair enough but have you seen the fixtures coming up, thanks be to god the rule change came into effect, not just for us but for all clubs, Oct. is one hell of a month. To be honest being tied down to set days and times is not a great help.
Shels having two games in hand is not an advantage with games packed in like this. It could serve more as a disadvantage more than anything else. I also think peeople are making too much of it aswell.

[patsh]

How come this thread was not posted last Friday morning or Thursday or even earlier?
Did Drogs only realise the match was to be played on Friday night on Friday morning?
Did they have to grab whatever players they could and hop on the next bus to Cork?
Do Drogs only discover from day to day when they are to play?
Get a grip lads, all this b*ll*cksology just because McCue tries to create a "controversy" to hide his utter inability to do anything to about the hammering his side just underwent.

[TommyT]

In fairness given the respective distances travelled each season cork are entitled to treat the Drogs moans as boolox

[DruggyDrog]

This was a fairly intelligent thread until the inevitable ****** invasion.

For once and for all, nothing to do with the result, we were well beaten by a better side on the night. But that is not what this thread ia about, go back to the first post and then answer the question, forget about results, forget about Harry making a tool of himself, and just consider the question which is actually being asked.

[joe]

without knowing the full facts, which i don't think anyone here does, no one can give an answer to the question. and, like i said elsewhere, from what i've heard, comments like:

Originally posted by DrogMan
Cork and Drogheda had an agreement to play all matches either in Untied Park and the X on saturday evenings.

Originally posted by BostonDrog
Cork had an agreement with Drogheda to play the games on Saturday.

are wide of the mark

[DruggyDrog]

Joe, I wouldn't be too sure about that. I spoke with people from both clubs on the issue and they confirmed an agreement, however informal, had been made. I then attempted to get on touch with Cork again about why the agreement was discarded, and am still awaiting a response even though I got a read receipt from my email last tuesday.

So it suddenly becomes not so "intelligent" when somebody does'nt agree with you..
The answer to the question was, is and will continue to be, NO.
The title is laughable, (sorry SLK ).
If an agreement was in place, the rule change by the FAI, as far as City are concerned, nullified that agreement. There is no mistreatment, sly tricks or anything else, just pathetic whinging from a bunch of fans with nothing else to do.
get over it, surely there is more to life in Drogheda?
[SIZE=1]or is there?[/SIZE]

[Dodge]

What do the rules of the FAI have to do with an agreement between clubs?

[DruggyDrog]

Exactly, Dodge. But after all those people questioning whether there ever was an agreement, we now have people coming up with excuses on breaking the agreement!!
