Meh we arent going to win it anywayOriginally Posted by **FrOsTy**
Here on a technicality.
My comment on the front 2 complimenting each other was exactly that, We have Shane Barrett, he's fat too but he isn't anything like the threat Hughes is.
"Must you tell me all your secrets when it's hard enough to love you knowing nothing."

That was one of the worst games to watch this season, right up there with Pats at the Showgies this season.
But the standard was just terrible in comparison.
Harps were bad, very bad but we were not much better, a real gutless performance.
The lads didnt seem interested tbh.
But ill take a win but if we perform like that again in the next round well there wont be any trip to the final again.
I didnt see 800 Harps fans it tbh.1565 was the official attendance with about 700 Sligo fans,
Probably about right with the estimation of Rovers fans, about 700 or so.
Oh the humanity, you see worse when kids are getting out of school.all fairly well behaved except for the young muppets who were jumping around the streets after the game in front of cars their tops off. One lad pulled off his top (I swear he was no more than 4 stone the skinny little fook) and started jumping around, only for his trousers to fall down ha ha.
We always seem to meet in the cup at some stage.
Its probably fate that we do meet this season since the League Cup result.
Made me do a LOL for some reason.
How Fingal didn't put us away in the First Half is beyond me, after twenty minutes we were thinking 8,9 or 10 nil.
But fairplay, we showed great character which was important after the Derry debacle. Replay is a pure nuisance though.
And as for the crowd. :O
Are you for bleedin real?
I think you might have watched the game through rose tinted glasses. Can you not remember the first twenty minutes when Paddy K and Chambers tore yous to shreads, I think your left back needed counselling at half time after the roastin he got. We were then guilty of sloppy play mainly by Turner and Bayly losing possesion cheaply and a few wobbles from Mannus. We almost scored a goal of the season contender right at the start of the second half, but fair play yous started to play a bit and created some good chances, then we scored and yous hit the post,we scored again and all credit yous put us under a lot of pressure and deserved a goal. Yes yous had a good shout for a peno as did we and we were lucky not to have let the lead slip.
As for the officials, they were equally ****e for both sides, don't let your own bias cloud that one, Paddy K was kicked all over the park and one terrible tackle near the end over on the main stand side should have been a red card, you could hear the clatter of the studs against his shinpads from our side but the lino waived play on.
If, as you say, that was an increase on normal attendances, how the fcuk do yous survive?, a Rovers official told me 610 of us 350 of yous, very poor home crowd for a cup game.
Anyway thanks be to jaysus I wont have to suffer goin up to the flan siro for twelve months at least, the ticket office for away fans didn't open until 35 minutes before kick off with 3-4 hundred queing, whats the crack with employin your local pub bouncers as stewards? What experience have they got as match day officials? I'll tell you, none. They stood in front of our section peering in tryin to entice some of our ******* section into doin something stupid, they were repeatedly asked to sit down as they were blocking peoples view, but they refused, fcukin scumbags.
55 minutes to get from the ground to the top end of the town, bleedin disaster. An hour and ten from there to O'Connell bridge!! Thank god for late opening on Fridays.

Its a very fair assesment of last night.
At least Longford officials know how to count-No small time antics re. the attendance.
Its posts like the above from someone who was 150 miles away that give Rovers fans ammunition against this site.
If you have nothing constructive to say,say nothing.
Inlcuding this gem...
The arrogance of Shams fans is really quite breath takeing.
Aww that huwted my feelings.At least Longford officials know how to count-No small time antics re. the attendance.
The only time Shams fans would be happy with this site is when every fan on this are grovelling at the feet of Shams and appealing to your clearly over inflated sense of importance.Its posts like the above from someone who was 150 miles away that give Rovers fans ammunition against this site.
If you have nothing constructive to say,say nothing.
Dont kid yourselves that it is anything rational, "ohh no someone on an internet forum slagged me off", boo hoo.
But if posts like mine help perpetuate the worst boycott in history then smiles all round.
I'd say their wage bill is a bit smaller than Shamrock Rovers?? A Longford fan could probably confirm this for you.
Who do you suggest they employ? Some of the local Longford Professional Matchday Steward companies 1500 employees??whats the crack with employin your local pub bouncers as stewards? What experience have they got as match day officials? I'll tell you, none.
It's a pity they weren't as professional and thorough as the stewards in Tallaght who allowed someone to walk across the pitch to fall around infront of Gary Rogers and left it to the St Pats players to remove him.
People in (rented)glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Getting wound up by a steward "peering" when you're supposed to be watching a match.They stood in front of our section peering in tryin to entice some of our ******* section into doin something stupid,
Implying Longford Town FC are somehow at fault for traffic problems in the town of Longford.55 minutes to get from the ground to the top end of the town, bleedin disaster.
I was mearly stating that a game such as last night in the cup against Rovers at home could only attract a small home crowd, which was apparantly a big increse on the norm and I wondered how they survive day to day. But of course Rovers fans asking a question on here is taboo to some.
The stewards in Tallaght weren't standing up in front of the crowd refusing to move as they were blocking some peoples view, they were extremely antagonistic towards anyone who asked them to crouch down and were obviously lookin to stir the preverbial for that reason they were scumbags.Who do you suggest they employ? Some of the local Longford Professional Matchday Steward companies 1500 employees??

Where did I imply the traffic situation had anything to do with ltfc? I simply stated that it's a cnut of a town to get out of after a game, which it is. But you go ahead and try to suggest this sort of sh-ite if it makes you feel importantImplying Longford Town FC are somehow at fault for traffic problems in the town of Longford.
You didn't ask "how they do survive?" though.
You asked:Then followed it up with:If, as you say, that was an increase on normal attendances, how the fcuk do yous survive?You know, like the way an annoyed 12 year old might ask a question.a Rovers official told me 610 of us 350 of yous, pathetic home crowd for a cup game.
It's all a big anti Rovers conspiracy!!! TO THE BOATS!! TO THE BOATS!!But of course Rovers fans asking a question on here is taboo to some.
When are you tallking about??The stewards in Tallaght weren't standing up in front of the crowd refusing to move as they were blocking some peoples view
Was this on the night when they allowed someone to walk onto the pitch and fall around infront of Gary Rogers before leaving it to the Pats players to drag him off??
They weren't blocking anyones view though?? Cool.
Throwing shapes like??they were extremely antagonistic towards anyone who asked them to crouch down
As a steward I'd imagine they would be able to see more of what's going on standing up.
Calling somebody a scumbag because they wouldn't sit down when you told them to.and were obviously lookin to stir the preverbial for that reason they were scumbags.
Fair Enough, I misread your point, I'm really sorry.Where did I imply the traffic situation had anything to do with ltfc? I simply stated that it's a cnut of a town to get out of after a game, which it is.
Thinking t'internet is important.But you go ahead and try to suggest this sort of sh-ite if it makes you feel important
The usual black v white attitude delievered in the usual multi quote text. Some of your points are worth considering but then you throw in "renting" just for a laugh,I'd imagine.I'd say their wage bill is a bit smaller than Shamrock Rovers?? A Longford fan could probably confirm this for you.

Now don't get me wrong,I have no problem renting.Its other fans fascination with us renting that I find quite sad.In fact its renting that will ensure Rovers long term survival in that no developer will come in to try and buy the land as has happened with LOI clubs,gaa clubs even golf clubs.
The use of renting where there is no need in this case just shows that small time mentality again.
As for the "boycott" mentioned by "Rasputin".There is none.Was never one and probably will never be one.If an individual posters choose not to post then thats up to them.Me,well I'm never one to sheirk a disagreement so here I am.The "boycott" line usually gets thrown in when a poster hasnt got a leg to stand on,just before the spelling and punctuation card is produced.
Then we have a percieved arrogance.Not from me.I know where we've been and I know there is nothing worse than bigging yourself up only to be knocked down.Can't see Rovers fans ever using (eg) "big club" as a tag because its so easy to knock with something as simple as the attendance at the bray fixture last week.
The matchday set up at Longford last night was not a very pleasant one.
Body-searched,2 portaloos(One men,one women so in essence one portaloo for 580 men!),12 steward blocking the view standing eye-balling fans.Some will say we bring it on ourselves but then these little things are easily avoided.If we are so bad why allow both sets of supporters out at the same time.I thought standard practise was to hold away fans back?
Although LTFC arn't responsible for the traffic,surley its not beyond the realms of posibility for 1 of the gards zooming up and down the Stroketown rd to direct traffic at the busy T-junction in the town centre-Again a little thing that would make the match day experience a little less of a chore.
If arrogance is not wanting to que for 15 mins for a leak then so be it!
Seriously,How are you not barred for wumming?You add nothing,inject yourself into discussions you know nothing about using broad sterotypes and when questioned on specifics you churn out the same worn out topic such as,Boycotts,arrogance of Rovers fans,renting,racism and hooligan jibes.You cant even accept your club cheated mine and the FAI from the split of around 800 paying customers despite EVERYONE agreeing that the sligos attendance figure was a sham!
Then theres the "thanks" at the end of every post derogatory about Rovers .
Sad fool or WUM-At least you shouldn't be barred for being a sad fool!
you need to check out the thread on ultrasforum that talks about the boycott of this site and slams poor ol Ciaran W and the other Rovers fans that post here.
It's "hasn't" by the way.
I multi quote cos I find it easier to read and that innit. You'd be surprised how little thought I put into my posting style.
1000%.Some of your points are worth considering but then you throw in "renting" just for a laugh,I'd imagine
I'm just wiling away the time posting and watching Soccer Saturday while I'm waiting for a loan of a lawnmower tbf.
Still, having spotted that I was only having a laugh, instead of arguing some of the points you say are worth considering (thanks very much btw) you have a tiny little cry about other clubs, small time, etc.

Providing further evidence that the actual obsession could actaully lie with Rovers fans being obsessed about other fans being obsessed with them.
Welcome to Division One.The matchday set up at Longford last night was not a very pleasant one.
That's fair enough aslong as there was a Guard there. If there wasn't then you shouldn't have let them do it.Body-searched
You should see the toilets under the Main Stand!!2 portaloos(One men,one women so in essence one portaloo for 580 men!),
Why is an eyeballing steward worthy of anything more than a laugh??12 steward blocking the view standing eye-balling fans.
As for blocking the view, I assume they can see more standing up, just look around them or move a foot to your left or right. It's a tiny little bit inconvenient but it's certainly preferrable to a situation where the stewarding is so lax that a fan can walk on to the pitch, fall around infront of Gary Rogers and then have it left to Pats players to drag him off.
I agree, Shamrock Rovers fans should behave better on their travels and the board should be seen publicly to make examples of those who don't.Some will say we bring it on ourselves but then these little things are easily avoided.
I have no idea, sounds like a strange one and a question for the Longofrd Event Controller.If we are so bad why allow both sets of supporters out at the same time.
Garda incompetence is a whole other issue which has nothing to do with football as such tbf. Like for example often in Limerick if Munster are playing the gurads will simply turn off alll the traffic lights around the town and leave it to people to sort it out among themselves!Although LTFC arn't responsible for the traffic,surley its not beyond the realms of posibility for 1 of the gards zooming up and down the Stroketown rd to direct traffic at the busy T-junction in the town centre
Believe me I have seen it but my point stands.Individuals choose to post here-Individuals choose not too.I won't have anyone(except a mod or admin obviously)tell me where I can or can't post however some Rovers fans often make a show of the club on here not to mention talking out of school.you need to check out the thread on ultrasforum that talks about the boycott of this site and slams poor ol Ciaran W and the other Rovers fans that post here.
It's "hasn't" by the way.
Would you believe I checked the quoted post for spelling mistakes
would you believe i just caught it's at the last second before i postedWould you believe I checked the quoted post for spelling mistakes
Surely "having a laugh" is another way of admitting to Wumming?I multi quote cos I find it easier to read and that innit. You'd be surprised how little thought I put into my posting style.

The obsession example is a cop out and a more intelligent way of saying "I know i am but what are you" or some similar playground game.
Another cop out is the "div. 1" jibe.No excuse and depicts of a set of clubs who have thrown in the towel until they reach the promised land of the premier.Thank God we didnt adapt that approach when in div. 1.
The toilets under the main stand are wholey adequate and you brushing it off will not excuse the fact that 1 portaloo isn't.
Stewards should be in a position to react to a situation not creating one.
I don't mind being searched as I have nothing to hide.It's the fact that they deem us worthy of a searching that again could create a bad vibe whem it's not needed.
Hard to take you or some others serious when you admit to having a laugh at my clubs expense.I obviously have a higher regard for SRFC than you do for Limerick.
