Without doubt ,it is what it is, Iâll follow blind forever,heard a strong rumour that Caulfield will be back but only if the club is taken over ( majority share)
Some absolutely scandalous goalkeeping and defending there 
yep, before the game , the narrative is that Cark have loanees from Arsenal & QPR in defence and these will make a big difference to the standard of the LOI
only have season tickets mate
When is burke loan up? He would be on a good contract from Preston. Way above what rovers could offerâŠ
Iâm a 00 man for years,but after last nightâs display the thought of Mr Beamish looking mighty fine,the whures will have me back on the black stuff before the season ends ps wouldnât take anything from a Rovers man, now but a decent club like Patâs/ Shelbourne no sweat,but the bowsies of the LOI nawwwwwee
Neal Horganâs book âThe Death of a Football Clubâ is a must read i think for those who want to understand the LOI and football in this country
Horgan played for CCFC and was Jackie Lennoxâs nephew,
In 2007 or so Lennox sold the club to Arkaga who were one of these equity investment things - Arkaga put 3 members of its company on the city board and proceeded to invest 2.4 million in the club before eventaully stopping in 2008- by december that year the club was wound up in the high court and the foras lads took over,
arkaga got involved because at that time the AIL concept was high with the setanta cup in full swing and that sat night final at a packed X in 2007 vs glentoran was a sign things were on the upâŠ
there was big things happening in LOI then Shels were beating Hadjuk Split drogheda were taking on dinamo kiev and it looked as if LOI clubs were going places,
ironically by 2009 CCFC, Shels and drogheda had all virtually ceased to exist
I was at Shels vs CCFC in tolka in april 2010 @Corksfinedtboy the weekend of the ash clould in iceland and it was the saddest game i was ever at - in 2006 they had played out a 2-2 draw in a fine era for LOI football with Ndo, JOF, etc at the helm - here there were playing at a walking place in div1âŠ
when arkaga pulled out of cork they were accused of ruining the club like anyone who realises they need their head examined to put money into an LOI side they left - they invested for success but the returns werent there
the foras idea was great - but its ok for an amateur first div club- they simply havent the cash to compete
you always hear about LOI needing private investment but investors expect a return
the LOI needs a fucking philanthropist or someone who dosent mind burning money for a cause
look -if peak six go - dundalk are done - Rovers are secure once DD sticks about - the BSC are a great semi pro organsation -Pats seem to survive within their means but every other club bar UCD is virtually bankrupt
Yep, Foras meeting just over hour and a half,ref rovers we had a better offer from DD but effing Foras declined,I predict within 3 months PNE will own us( 600000) paid already,we were 2 hours from being wound up 3m2 days before the LOI started, revenue bastards, weâre dead ducks ,will end up in division 1 without the guy who owns PNE and a lot of property in Cork
See les Ferdinand was in tallaght to see Jack Byrne playing. Surely be gone in summer.
His contract is up n the summer I believe
Any QPR loan.players at cork
Why does a Malahide native follow Tallaght/Ringsend Shamrock Rovers? Would Drogheda or Bohemians not be the local team?
Bohs signed a rapist mate. How could anyone follow them
Did they? Thatâs shocking. When did they do that?
