Not a red card for me. Tripped a guy rather than kicked out at him. His reaction showed me he doesn't care though as most players would have been fuming with the decision

We were horrific last night. Played a lot better in the first 2 games without getting anything out of those. Doesn't look like we'll score many goals the way we've started.

Has to be the worst standard of LOI in years!

**Mr A** · 15/03/2016, 4:21 PM

It gets worse every single year.

Even when it gets better.

big time! only five of them came over. no sign of management either! shockin carryon.. waited to see if the players would look at us and applauded us.. a few of them did and one or two them muttered sorry.. I have seen some shockers in my time when we were battered. remember 05 in ballybofey when harps battered us 5-0..this was worse!

its a sad day for LTFC when our so called fans mock us for going up and expectin the away players to acknowledge us.. God I wish for the Stephen Kenny days when the players and management were superb in recognition of the fans support.. we were spoilt rotten. Mathews wasnt the best either at acknowledgin the fans either!

I have to smirk a little as there were similar types of comment around Oriel over the years if the players and management didnt appear in the Lilywhite post match to mix with the fans respectfully never mind applauding support. Can ye imagine Sean McCaffrey and co in the bar after a drubbing, or conversely Stephen Kenny bowing to such demands either even if dishing out a drubbing. I suppose applauding the fans that bother to travel is a polite and professional thing to do win, lose or draw, Myself though if I were on a side beaten so badly i'd be first down the tunnel and people would barely get a grunt out of me for days but it would be due to embarrassment, or even anger if I thought people werent putting a shift in.

Watching the highlights last night on soccer republic I felt so bad for the Longford fans that travelled. It looked like a complete lack of interest for the players. If they were doing it for free it might be someway understandable.

**Longfordian** · 15/03/2016, 8:56 PM

That's the most worrying thing from all reports. We've often been pure s***e but the players usually at least make an effort. Maybe they were protesting at being forced to travel down to Cork on a Monday! Saturday night v Bray has become a big game already for both sides.

Totally agree about Bolger. Don't know how many times in Richmond, I've watched him launch into a tackle and just groan while looking to see if the ref reaches for the red.
