    Players are getting 52 week contracts from December.


    http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/cork-city-offer-52-week-11373328

    I hope that is well thought out, i don't doubt that it is, but over the last 40 yrs I've seen too many "Cork City's" go down the tubes because of money. I love my club but lets not get too far ahead of ourselves.And before you take my head off...I buy my season ticket,my jersey some stuff from club shop and support as much as I can afford, I just don't want it wasted. I stayed in the TCT and just got langers after the game. Good result for Pats tonight, now back to winning before the cup final.

    Wonder how that works in practice. A few years back they were on 52 week contracts but requested it to receive the same annual wage over 40 weeks so they could get the dole for the other 3 months.

    I presume they're all getting pay rises so to compensate that.

    Why would they do that :confused:? surely being on a 52 week contract is better than being on the dole.

    Yes they’ll get an additional 3 months pay a year now. JC wants to continue training all winter etc. it’s better for lads also to get morgates and things with 12 months of pay rather then 9 and even 2/3 year long deals

    Not necessarily. If on 52k previously for 9 months, you could supplement your income by getting the dole for 3 months, whereas now you would be on 1k a week and not be entitled to dole. It's an advantage of a steady income all year round and for mortgages, bank loan applications.
    You would imagine their contracts will actually go up though, maybe but not necessarily 3 extra months wages, 30k for 9 months will not automatically become 40k for 12.
    I reckon somewhere in between will suit all concerned.

    It must also be disconcerting to play in front of thousands....win the league....possibly do the double.....and then go straight in and sign on the dole for a few months!

    Just for the craic like.....na, city fans tend to be very passionate about anything the club does and will not accept criticism of any kind. I'm not criticizing, just a wee bit worried about where we are going as a club.

    Morrissey signed up for 2 years, happy with that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,440 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Sounds like the vultures are coming for the squad. Who'll be left next year :confused:
    SunSport revealed last month that Dundalk had targeted Karl Sheppard and we reported a fortnight ago that they were confident they have got their man.

    ...

    Previously, we reported that Shamrock Rovers were hopeful of landing Steven Beattie, with Greg Bolger expected to join Waterford. Rovers have since tabled a counter offer to Bolger and may complete a double swoop.

    Alan Bennett, 36, wants to play on for another year but centre-half partner Ryan Delaney is due to return to Burton Albion when his loan expires.

    McCormack — who previously had stints with Manchester United and Triestina in Italy — has been linked with a return abroad with Dooley being tipped to move closer to his native Coleraine.

    I would be prepared to wager with anyone that McCormack is staying.

    The others - Bolger of 2017 was very poor, so no loss.

    Beattie is out of the team more than in. I like him though and would be sad to see him go.

    Shepard - Ive heard what Dundalk are offering him. I would be very annoyed if CCFC matched that as he is not worth it. Shep was great when Maguire was leading the line. he has been extremely poor since, Dundalk game aside. That said, Id prefer he stay on a reasonable wage.

    Dooley - Unless we are playing Dundalk, Dooley doesn't impress. Wouldn't be too sad to see him go either.

    Brought some tourists to the game last night as they wanted to see some live football.

    Was my first time at the cross also.

    Really good night and great crowd.

    Congrats on the title hopefully you do the double.

    Sadlier is class!

    Could not go for Personal reasons, but what a season.

    Dundalk were better team overall but we had best chances and what I loved about yesterday was never say die attitude.

    Happy for Campion too. I know he aint good enough, but he does give 100% and while ge drives me nuts he a trier and really cant ask for more. Was lovely goal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 779 ✭✭✭bot43


    Today is arguably the sweetest hangover I have ever had. When Dundalk scored I thought that was that. Couldn’t see a way back. But a spirit was awoken in them and BOOM.

    The penalties was the most tense and horrific experience I have ever gone through in 30ish years supporting CCFC.

    Special words for Shep. Many questioned his professionalism and would he take it easy against his new employers. He didn’t and he showed balls to step up for the first penalty. Also his assist was glorious.

    Bolger was immense when he came on. Seeing him play like that again makes him a huge loss.

    What a day.

    Bohs man myself, great to see Cork do the double. Brilliant season, well deserved.

    Was offline for a few days......what a win !! To bring it back from the depths of despair.....to take it to pens.....for Super Keeper to make the difference.....unreal!

    No better way to win!

    What an unbelievable year we have had. The run of wins....the lead at the top.....Seanie on fire......Seanie gone.....the capitulation of form.....the League being won.....the cup win.....the way we won...

    Surely there'll never be a better time to be a City supporter!!



    The very hard work begins in earnest now to formulate a squad for next year....but let's just bask in the absolute Glory of this season for a while.

    Cork City F.C. are Double Champions motherfúckas !!!!

    Lads can ya die of a hangover?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 779 ✭✭✭bot43


    Shep :):):)

    I would like to thank Stephen Kenny for being a complete numbnuts and convincing Shep that he doesnt want to play for him :)

    #didntfancyheranyway :rolleyes:

    Im not going to be a hypocrite. I was very disappointed in how Shep performed for the most part of the latter part of the season. But in the 3 biggest games - Dundalk at home, Limerick semi final and cup final he played great games. Losing him to Dundalk would have been a poor statement from us as well as well as Dundalk possibly being able to say they can take who they want.

    I said when this was meant to be going through I hated to lose him as a winger. As a striker, meh, Dundalk can have him. Lets hope he goes back to the right wing where he truly belongs and the management bring in a few actual strikers in the close season.

    I hope now that Beattie follows suit. Garry Buckley is also OOC. I don't want him to go either. A scapegoat for many, but his value to the team is literally immeasurable. No one quite knows WTF he does, but when he isn't there we don't tick as fluidly :). Dooley too. He goes hot and cold, but would prefer him being with us than a rival.

    Also welcome Tobi Rowling.

    I agree on Buckley. He's sloppy, he seems to mope around, but when he's there we win. In reality he's a old school hard player that is a nightmare to play against. When we don't have the ball he pressuring and getting stuck in and considering he's usually behind the striker it puts huge pressure on the opposition. On the ball he's less impressive, but every year he chips in with more goals than anyone outside of the front-men.

    Been one of our most consistent players for several years now. Was also our joint leading scorer with 10 this season.

    A big loss for Derry. And in a stronger side should fit in well. He doesn't do anything fancy, but he does the simple stuff well.

    Good to see Garry Buckley sign up for another 2 years. Squad looking good, just need to raid across the water for a striker in January now to add a huge part of the jigsaw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 779 ✭✭✭bot43


    Nice interview with Shep on RTE last night

    https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2017/1206/925557-sheppard-i-couldnt-really-trust-kenny/

    The butthurt of the Dundalk contingent is hilarious about this. But I guess most of them only started supporting Dundalk in September 2014 so they are used to getting their own way all the time.

    I can see the games between City and Dundalk getting increasingly more bitter in the new season. At least 6 meetings with the presidents cup and the FAI Cup Final.

    Vote for the 2017 Person of the Year in Montreuillois (poll)

    Achille Campion

    Former football player at the Touquet club, Achille Campion lives an extraordinary adventure with his Irish club in Cork. After a year rich in four titles, he scored in November a goal in the final of Ireland Cup, propelling his club at the same time in the Champions League.


    I wonder how many of those 986 votes (at the time of typing) came from Cork! :pac:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 8,576 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wilberto


    2nd Place : Quentin Vaesken
    This 22-year-old Touquett youth has reached the stage of a high-speed singer career. This summer, he won the Virgin Radio Project's national contest with his title "It's time". Immediate consequence, Quentin signed a contract with the label "Tot ou tard", the same as the famous singer Vianney. If his tube is broadcast daily on Virgin Radio, he also knows a great success on Youtube with more than 70 000 views. In November, he even shared the stage of the Casino of Dunkirk with Marina Kaye and will release his first clip at the beginning of the year 2018.
