    At least Spurs were Spurs - and went on to win the tournament (it was 6-0 and 8-0 against Drogheda). Longford's defeat 5-1 defeat to a Welsh team of part-timers is worse.
    Well maybe fans was the wrong word. Just a couple of loud mouth Irish lads on the ****.

    Shels v Bronby in Denmark was another one. More so for the way Shels played. Just went out to kick Bronby off the park.

    The worst result for me was getting stuffed 4-0 by Cardiff City after a 0-0 at home.

    its true for the majority of the years in the top flight town were training in celbridge.. its only over the last two seasons that they stopped training in dublin...
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

I remember watching this in Bulgaria and the so-called Irish football fans loving the fact that an LOI side was getting a thumping. I think that got my back up more so than the defeat.
    yeah hate those muppets that support the national team

    i actually think that Odense team were a handy enough team - didnt they get to the last 8?

    i think Longford losing to that Welsh team is the worst
    and Shels to that maltese team

    Derby 12 Harps 0

    Waterford losing to Omonia Nicosia in 1972 when Cypriot teams were really bad. They lost 13-0 on aggregate in the next round to Bayern.

    Shels losing to Hibs of Malta.

    Shels abject defeats to Akranes 3-0 home and away
    Yes that would be right. I wasnt around at the time but appently for the home leg in Kilcohan we were all over them and the Cypriots hardly got out of their half.

    Some day hopefully we'll exact revent on Omonia.

    [QUOTE=seand;1153079]It's one thing losing 8 or 10 or even 12-0 to one of the best teams in Europe, it's quite another losing out to Maltese opposition.

    A decent Shels side losing to Hibs Malta was the worst for me, Zimbru is another obvious candidate.

    In terms of most disappointing performances though 2 of the 4 great teams of the last 40 years- Rovers 4-in-a-row and Waterford 66-73- under performed in Europe.[/QUOTE]

    You have to remember that the last tme we played in the European Cup, it really was that. We got to the last 16 in 1971 where we played Celtic but also Man Yoo in Lansdowne Road in front of 55,000+ in 1968 against Law, Charlton, Best and Stiles. A noticeable blooper along the way like Omonia. however we did redeem ourselves afterwards in the UEFA Cup against Gothenburg 79-80 (managed by Sven Goran Eriksson), CWC against Dynamo Tblisi 80-81 who went on to win it that year and Bordeaux in 86-87 who had among them Joel Bats, Alan Giresse, Jean Tigana and Luis Fernandez while we had Mick Bennett and 43 year old Al Finuane in our lineup.

    Since then we havent played in Europe.

    Rovers going out to Linfield in 84 was a big set back for the league

    Pat's 10:0 agg loss was the one I remember as making me embarrassed to support the league. But, it seemed to embarrass the league teams into action aswell - i dont really think any LOI team has let themselves be outclassed like that since
