Cork City strike just a ‘nasty rumour’

Cork City have branded claims on Twitter that the club’s players were on strike as “nasty rumours”.

Former player George O’Callaghan, who has been a critic of manager Tommy Dunne and club owners FORAS in the past, tweeted: “Does anyone know who will replace cork city in setanta cup if players go on strike for it [sic].”

Within minutes, City left-back Danny Murphy responded by rubbishing the claims: “don’t be writing things that you don’t know the full truth about what’s going on it ain’t helping anyone.”
