Did Cork mistreat Drogheda?

**DruggyDrog** · 27/08/2003, 1:33 PM

Oh, I forgot to mention, Patsh, the degeneration of the thread has nothing to do with people disagreeing with me, more to do with spouting on about sour grapes, why was it not raised weeks ago, etc, etc, which was not the point of this thread.

Spot on Patsh, I think that's what most of us are trying to point out. However, our north Dublin friends don't seem to be able to get their heads around this. It seems pretty simple to me but, then again, I'm not from Louth.

Jaysus, Colm, do you all have that sense of humour. We really are missing out.

And the Cork logic too, that must really be great. How a rule change by one body can nullify an agreement between two other bodies. And only a few hours ago you were all maintaining that there was no agreement at all!!!! No wonder us Louth people can't get our heads around it!

Anyway, all our opinions aren't going to change anything, so best of luck to all concerned for the rest of the season.

If a speed limit goes up from 30 to 50 would you still drive at 30?

Why if a rule is changed would you still follow the old rule?

**DruggyDrog** · 27/08/2003, 4:49 PM

I thought this particular issue was over. Ah well.

This has nothing to do with any rule change. This has to do with an agreement between 2 clubs. the rule change is just being trotted out as a possible excuse for breaking an agreement, although without this excuse they will claim there was no agreement.

If the speed limit was 50 and both parties agreed to drive with their lights on, if the limit was raised to 60 would you turn off the lights.

The league rule had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with any agreement Cork and Drogheda had

read what joe said and then re-read it..if necessary (and it might be for some of ye) re-read it again.

then stop posting non-sense here

**Dodge** · 27/08/2003, 5:12 PM

If fairness James I used the word IF in the first post and in the last i said any agreement they had. If there was no agreement, there can be no grievences. If there was, there are no excuses. Simple really

**James** · 27/08/2003, 5:14 PM

thats wasnt at you dodge
twas for everyone

let it go kids

**patsh** · 27/08/2003, 5:59 PM

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

People have put forward ideas, the FAI ruling change amongst them, as possible reasons. Of course, you are dismissing them as excuses. And in return, best of luck, in the Cup especially, for the rest of the season too.

Can't have Cork proved wrong can we, or Cork fans accepting their club were wrong, or even some debate about it.... That would be totally against the spirit of foot.ie....

**James** · 28/08/2003, 8:37 AM

no macy its just boring at this stage
as joe said: nobody knows fully the facts so all this mudslinging type stuff isnt serving any point at all.

What do you not understand about that post. Clubs have agreements, these agreements are NOT sanctioned by the FAI. The FAI rule change would not impact on the agreement. How hard is that to undertand?

**S�C** · 28/08/2003, 5:24 PM

Dodge ask yourself one question, why was there an "agreement" in the first place?

Chicken and the egg
