Pats and City bitchfest: part infinity

Likewise I think Dublin City would be better for the league than Pats. They're a new, progressive club with a positive attitude and they're not based in the south inner city.
This season Pats played above themselves when the visited Cork because the felt they had something to prove against their old manager. It will be hard for you to motivate yourselves in the same way again next season. The glory days are gone for the Inchicore boys. When Rovers move to Tallaght there will be clear divide in Dublin football.
The crap clubs of UCD, Rovers and Pats south of the river and the powerhouses of Dublin City, Shelbourne and Bohs north or it.
You're probably getting really depressed now reading this wws. It's doom and gloom at the stadium of light and you're beginning to realise it.

"They're a new, progressive club with a positive attitude and they're not based in the south inner city."

What makes you think they'll be based on the northside next season? They're on the move and options are thin on the ground.

"This season Pats played above themselves when the visited Cork because the felt they had something to prove against their old manager."

In fairness we got a win and a draw without ever really playing well.

"It will be hard for you to motivate yourselves in the same way again next season. The glory days are gone for the Inchicore boys. When Rovers move to Tallaght there will be clear divide in Dublin football."

thats ok so, as shamrock won't be going to Tallaght any time soon.

"The crap clubs of UCD, Rovers and Pats south of the river and the powerhouses of Dublin City, Shelbourne and Bohs north or it."

actually 2/3's of the domestic silver this year was dominated by Pats and Longford, we carved it up between ourselves. The gap between us and the win f all clubs like bohs and cork is widening.


"You're probably getting really depressed now reading this wws."

no, I think its a bit of a laugh actually.

You never play well, that's your problem.
That's as good as it gets for you.
You're always saying crap like, "we won without playing well", "we had our youth team out" or "we had our reserves."
That doesn't win you the league it's just the smokescreen by Pats fans to mask the glaring fact that you're rubbish.
You bored us into submission at Turners Cross this season.

The League Cup is a glammed up tin of beans!
It's only worth a few quid and doesn't even get you into Europe.
I wouldn't talk about your success this season if that's all you have to crow about. Longford "carved" you up in the FAI Cup Final and showed you up for the poor side you are.
Bring on Dublin City FC.

Well at least you can see that there is a serious gap developing and that Pats are being left behind. And not just by City, Bohs and Shels. Longford are now a bigger club than ye. Yerself and the homeless can fight over who's the best of the "former greats".

As Coach Don said, Micky Mouse Cups are for Micky Mouse Clubs.

[ccfc till i die]

Oh yes you and longford "carved" it up between you. As if the two of you are dominating forces in the LOI.

It's funny we got a win and a draw at richmond park in the league this year without really playing (and without John O' Flynn).

So why were you (plural) so upset when our Kids knocked you out. ;)

Pats are nowhere near good enough to sustain a league challenge. Neither are Cork nor Longford.

Last season we needed a late winner against you to save ourselves from the play off. This year we'll place 3rd/4th/5th. We reached the Cup final and won the 3rd competition. Our style of football, although not perfect, has improved dramatically. Our crowds are up hugely. They've faded since the cup win but we're still up from last season. Now, by any standerds, that is a MASSIVE improvement.

Cork haven't really progressed this year

I think the general feeling in Cork would be that our progress this year has been more like a wound up coil ready to spring into action next season and challenge for the league. We now see great potential in our squad. Finishing 3rd in the league this season would be satisfactory since, like yourselves, we had a new management team. We're only a Kevin Hunt and an Owen Heary off having a great team.

This thread started out as a simple thank you by a Limerick fan to Cork City fans.

Apparently not even that can go without an objection or comment by a Pats fan these days.

If we all agreed that Pats are The Most Massive Club Of All Time With The Bestest Manager, would that finish it?


bout fckn time!

fair play to conor for cutting through the hype and calling it as it is

But were not, as described above (and countless times over by me)

Pats are not a big club. We never have been and we never will. We're the best club but thats based on my opinion not facts.

BTW Peader if I was a Cork fan I’d be happy enough with this season. And I agree that you’re not far off a good side.

[SÓC]

I wonder is the fairy tale about the emperor having no clothes ever read up at Pats.

[NorthoftheLee]

And why the fuc has dubya dubya s got a linfield avatar as he is now clearly a Limerick fan????????:confused:

As conor stated this thread was started by a Lims fans thanking the City fans for giving their support....had to be hijacked into an arguement again....:rolleyes:

[Gary]

Obsessed.

Isnt it funny how a once proud team (dating back all of 3 months), who were playing such brilliant football, and had such a great spirit, from the "chairman, right down to the tea lady", are now being described by their own as clueless.

The same way as class always shines through, so does mediocrity, and SPA are a prime example of that this season.






lol

what the hell is wrong with a Linfield avatar??
its possible to have a few teams other than your first team that you look out for. Linfield are a dacent club, by far the most ambitious in the north of ireland.

In fairness wws regularly goes up and watches Linfield play

[Colm]

Excuse me now, I just have a couple of questions...
Why did Pats fans get involved in this discussion?
Why are Pats fans so obsessed with CCFC and Pat Dolan?

Lads, ye have got to realise that Pats are a now a nothing club and will never again amount to anything. We, on the other hand, are the biggest club in Ireland and over the next few years we will begin our long term dominance of Irish football.
When we'll be playing Champoins league football, Pats will be a mediocre first division club! :)

Tell me this is not true!!!!!!!! If I post this information on the Ultras board WWS will be even more popular at Rovers than he already is. :D

gotta take you up on this one dodge. maybe you meant we haven't really progressed on the pitch this year, for which there may be an argument, but as a club we have definitely progressed and will continue to over the close season, into next year and as long as lennox is in charge, imo. there's been a lot of work done of the pitch which a lot of people, even in cork, probably don't realise

Nothing at all.......just thought it strange that a Limerick fan would have a linfield avatar instead of a the team that he now supports!

[wws]

i dont even know where to begin with some of this reaction to an avatar!

incidently i hate the word avatar - anyone else with me on that?

conor interesting observations, rest assured Linfield ARE my team in the northern league as the rest are complete pish
why you consider this "a contrary" position is down to your own prejudices, petty grudges and upbringing and is no reflection on mine - so leave me well outta that argument - I wont even go there

why would following linfield make me popular on the shamrock board? I've no idea and could care less

Speaking for myself I got involved as Peader start talking about Pats.

And when was the last time any Pats fan posted about Pat Dolan? This argument finished in May, surely?

Course Joe but using the terms I used (league position, cup runs, football levels, crowds), and to the casual observer, Cork haven't progressed much. Of course there are other factors and a lot of groundwork has to be done before any obvious improvements can be seen. (I also take the point that we had a bit more room to move after last year)

well were do I begin......

first of all, I was taking the **** out of your new found love of Limerick, you could have had any avatar other than Limerick and I would still have made the same comment about your avatar. it had nothing specifically to do with Linfield. I couldn't care less about Linfield or any other club in the irish league.

Then to go insinuating that I am somewhat prejudiced and have petty grudges against Linfield is laughable and you should go take a chill pill. Its not like Linfield's a Dublin Club for fuc sake;)??? Maybe this OTT reaction just reflects your own prejudices, petty grudges and upbringing and is certainly no reflection on mine.:rolleyes:

split the thread. Limerick fan thanks us for supporting them and it goes off on a slanging match with the SPA fans. keep it on topic please :rolleyes:

Have to say the Stalinesque censorship of this thread makes it very hard for a thick Dub like meself to follow it. Correct me if I'm wrong but are we still saying that WWS follows the sectarian Hun scum from Windsor Park?

Éanna could you have waited until I was finished posting as my reply to Dubya looks well out of place in the lfc thank you thread..or just move mine to here....thanking you very much kind sir....:D

You're unbelieveable!
Do you ever stop moaning?
I suppose the fact that the word avatar is used can somehow be the cause of Pats poor season?
What word could you replace avatar with which would improve things for you next season?
St. Patricks Ath. are going down the pan and all you can do is moan about a silly word.
I pity your drinking buddies if they have to listen to that tripe out of you.

Actually you were ranting on about Pats "carving" up 2/3 of the national silverware like as though it was a big thing so you're probably in dreamland 99% of the time.

Remember that scene on Fr. Ted when he's trying to explain, with diagrams, the difference between dreams and reality to Dougal?
Think we need something like that for you.

It's used by people who call each other by their internet handles in real life - as in "Howya WAR, how's it going?" Isn't that right WWS?

ok here we go for the slow learners - who's lips move whilst reading

there are three cups available as she stands dougal

Fai Cup - Longford First, Pats second
League Cup - Pats First, Longford Second
League Championship - 'to be decided'

a cursory look at the above will lend credance to my assertion that pats and longford have carved up 2/3's of the domestic honours list between them this season


happy to clear that up

Perhaps in a pub quiz in 10 years time there'll be a question about the winners of the League Cup in 2003 but no one will remember you for being hammered by Longford in the FAI Cup and no one will remember you for finishing 6th in the League.
It's reality wws, face it!

[wws]

if you offered me a league cup, a cup final appearance and league safety assured before our last home game (unlike last season) than yes - THAT I WOULD HAVE TAKEN at the start of the season

obviously knocking cork out with our reserves along the way was just a brucie bonus

i'm not sure we are destined for 6th but we'll wait and see

[Peadar]

Just goes to show the ambitions of your club where knocking the mighty Cork City FC out of the League Cup is considered an achievement worthy enough to constitute a successful season.

[WeAreRovers]

Looks like this thread is heading for another split - incidentally WWS was the man who introduced two different topics - ban him (and his sectarian avatar) now!

On the internet names thing, I did have to laugh when a chorus of "WAR what is he good for? absolutely nothing!" was heard in the Horse and Jockey one drunken evening. BTW Dodge, WAR is my real name. ;)
