O'Callaghan let go

[Maximus]

Ipswich have released G.oC -

"George O'Callaghan is expected to rejoin Cork City after being told he can leave Ipswich on a free transfer.
The midfielder made over 150 appearances for Cork before moving to Ipswich at the start of last season.

"George is a great lad but he's 28 now and needs to be playing regular first-team football," Ipswich manager Jim Magilton told the club's website.

"We have not been able to give him that here and we won't stand in his way of moving on now."

Shame.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I noticed he wasnt on the Ipswich Squad list the other day

 

[itszamora]

Sadly very little to no chance of him coming back here I guess.

 

[Maximus]

I don't think Dick Knight would want him back after his outburst. I think Bertain has more chance of a contract with us!

 

[SeagullEd]

That is such a shame because think of how good that signing would have gone!

I expect he'll end up back in League 1!

 

[Maximus]

Says he will go back to Cork City.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I think it was Georgio's contribution to Harty's show that caused Uncle Dick to describe it as "car-crash radio".

That'll teach him to keep his mouth shut.

 

[Da Man Clay]

That'll teach him to keep his mouth shut.

Our loss.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The eejit. Could have been huge down here. I miss him.

Eircom Premier is much the same level football wise, except with the chance of playing in Europe - and smaller crowds. Cork would struggle to get 4,000 to their quite nice, FAI owned stadium.

Absolute f***ing crap, he was damned right to mention that something wasn't right. I am a supporter of Knight and the club, but he made a mistake when he lashed out at ocallaghan the way he did. GOC wasn't necessarily even having a pop directly at Knight or the board, maybe he was having a go at the system? He would have been a terrific player for us, but due to the over-zealousness of our chairman, he probably won't be back now.

Of course he won't be back. He didn't want to play for us! What was DK meant to do?!

That's the thing, I think he DID want to play for us, but wasn't happy with the way the club was pissing everyone around with their contracts (or lack of)

 

[Basil Fawlty]

There aint a chance of him coming back, after his outburst he doesn't deserve to come back here. If he didn't want to play here, then there was no point of keeping him here.

 

[blockhseagull]

Never wanted to be here, onlyused us as a chance to get in the shop window, which hasn't worked.

Came across as arrogant and wasn't as good as half on here make out, hence why no other club has snapped him up

 

[Simon Morgan]

I literally cannot believe what I'm reading. All I ever saw from GOC as commitment and passion, he clearly wanted to play for us.

 

[El Presidente]

There's a greater chance of Leon Knight signing for us that George!

That's been my opinion of him all along, and his cameo on the DVD just confirmed that we're better off without him.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

The guy is class and him not being here is more our loss than his.
