TRAVIS,The last man from Clon that made remarks about minows and came through the parish of Newcestown met his Waterloo exiting the parish in Beal na blath back in1922. Advisable for you to travel through Bandon if going to the city.Clon are definitely treated differently by refs in both codes. Even here, you can see posters lining up to stick the boot in.
Hard to pinpoint the reason- it’s often put forward that this treatment comes with the territory of being one of the most prosperous and attractive towns in the country, and reveals itself to be especially prevalent when competing against teams from lower socioeconomic areas (e.g Newcestown).
I understand this to some degree as everyone loves an underdog but no doubt it hampers Clons chances of success greatly.
They are the last West Cork team to reach a senior county final in either code.TRAVIS,The last man from Clon that made remarks about minows and came through the parish of Newcestown met his Waterloo exiting the parish in Beal na blath back in1922.

On a serious note when have Clon last beaten a wii village in either football, hurling or billards?
It's people like this make this forum unbearable. Whoever it is either is an absolute idiot or is looking for a bit of keyboard banter.No question it’s a factor Trav, it’s particularly prevalent when we’re the big fish in a small pond, ie junior football and hurling, but also rears it’s head in senior football no doubt.
Clon is the cultural and economic hub of west cork, that coupled with the clubs rich heritage and success undoubtedly leads to jealousy and envy from other clubs. This mentality has certainly permeated the subconscious of the many referees and officials who’ve gone against us over the years. Fortunately we’ve been able to overcome more often than not, but it does frustrate nonetheless.

Whoever you are please just give up and leave the normal people on this forum discuss what matters.
