Barstool facepalm

That said, if RTÉ showed two LOI matches per week and a midweek game or two every time it suited, would we not jut be getting complaints that it's affecting our attendances?

I saw something at tonights Waterford United v Finn Harps game that left me genuinely speechless. I don't think I've ever seen anything so ... well ... weird in all my long days watching LOI.

There was a sparse enough crowd, perhaps 400, and I was in the "new" stand, which is the sparsest area of all. I noticed a man, sitting pretty much alone in the otherwise empty end section. The man is local to Waterford.

And then, just before kickoff, he unfurled a large Manchester United flag, tied it to the railings in front of him, and sat there, behind it, alone, for the entire match.

Presumably this was some sort of misplaced early offensive before the upcoming Waterford/Yannited friendly.

The behaviour is so bizarre that I am pretty much lost for words.

What?! That's unbelievable!!! Shows the society were living In and... Hold on is this good or bad? He willingly paid and watched LOI to show a UTD flag! That is utterly ridiculous.. I'm baffled...

Come on now. There has to be a picture of this.

**Señor Willy** · 28/06/2013, 11:03 PM

I must see it. I may laugh excessively.

Haven't seen a photo yet but the Waterford lads have the story all over Twitter & Wastebook.
Ergo- True story.

So he has misplaced loyalty to that bunch? More fool him.
And he turned up to a LOI game. Some might say likewise.

Seriously, silly though this is, you can't win...

How quickly can that winding-up order come?

Ah, even you have to admit that is bizarre behaviour.

Didn't say it wasn't...

**trevy** · 29/06/2013, 1:26 PM

Yeah it had MUFC Waterford branch written on it. On the plus side at least he turned up to the game. We need all the fans we can get!

This one really takes the cake: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/socc...isit-1.1457826

Headline: "Cliftonville increase capacity for Celtic visit"

Opening line: "Celtic fans are set to receive extra tickets for their Champions League qualifier at Cliftonville."

No mention at all about how Cliftonville fans will receive even more extra tickets.

I dont see a problem if it means the stadium may actually be full

I think the headline is right. It won't be Cliftonville fans buying the extra tickets, they don't really have much support. Most likely Nordie Celtic fans will snap up any tickets.
