Harps Vs Shels OFF

[Sam_Heggy]

we are a bit luckier with one a month for the next two months but yea that smells of big trouble. sack your manager now hes toss anyway and wait ten weeks to appoint to avoid paying any big wages

Believe me were trying.

[happydays97]

We were missing Johnny Havlin

From what I've seen of him Sam he is no miss at all

Very poor player and not up to that level of football

[Derry]

Just home now. The problem was 100% Harps fault, and the only fair outcome is 3 nil to Shels. The Harps financial situation, while unfortunate, and us at Shels know only too well how that feels, does not give them any excuse for that kind of thing, the pitch was unplayable because Harps sanded it with sand full of rocks, isn't Shels' fault, and given how close to kickoff it was decided, there can only be one possible outcome.

Of course, given the FAI's typical behaviour towards Shels, nothing will happen or it'll be a 3 nil Harps win.

That's a typical Dublin solution. I guess a few years ago the FAI would have awarded you the game, paid your expenses, and humbly apologised for any inconvenience. Might even have given your 20 supporters a voucher for Bus Eireann. But Bohs have now taken over the Shels mantle. I do remember going to a game in Tolka on a cold winters day. Every game in the Premier league was called off early in the day. We listened on the radio to see why the game was not called off, but as we turned off the M50 we were told the game was still on. However when we got to the ground we were informed the game was just called, and their attitude to the couple of hundred Derry City supporters who made the journey was..........


Too F***ing Bad'

Remember, what goes around comes around. So the 20 of you, just suck it up.

[kev mcq]

Complete and utter ******.

I've spoken to Shels players & officials.

The pitch was a disgrace - completely dangerous and unplayable.

The FAI should throw the book at Harps and refix the game in Tolka or at least a neutral ground.

Harps licence for Finn Park should be withdrawn.

Complete joke :mad:

Overreact much? :rolleyes:

[CSFShels]

Probably only an overreaction on the licence withdrawal tbh, and even at that its debatable.

Initials of the band I'm in.

[Umberside]

Initials of the band I'm in.

Pretty good band too I might add.

[Dodge]

Of course, given the FAI's typical behaviour towards Shels, nothing will happen or it'll be a 3 nil Harps win.

Cheers man.

[Hairy Bowsie]

The attitude of some people on here is insane.

As for what happened i don't believe for one minute that it was done on purpose but for Shels fans to be told 20 minutes away from the ground that the game is off is ridiculous. Shels have still to play twice up in Ballybofey and i'm hoping for an across the board boycott by all Shels fans.

Nice one. I knew some good would come out of this.

Harps ending up even more broke?

I'll tell you what's insane, the fans of a club who once delayed a game for an hour because they didn't bring the right kit and refused to obey the refs direction to wear an alternative, lecturing on model behaviour.

If all the clubs wronged by Shels adopted the same approach you are advocating against Harps you'd never play another game.

What comes around etc...

[The Lep]

I remember Shels last year not paying their ESB bill and a game having to be called off :D

Point. Blank. Lie. On par with the hilarious post below yours :rolleyes:

Exactly. Why tell the truth when you can make stuff up.

Thank god the power failure wasn't 2 years ago or you wouldn't have had a clue about it.

[The Lep]

Why is that then? Do you think people that dont attend league of ireland matches dont know whats going on week in week out within the league?

I'm sure people look at the papers or errortel:D

you were saying that Shels should be given the 3 points but you wernt saying that when the lights didnt work for you did you.

I do think people that don't attend, don't have a clue yeah. And a power failure that affected the whole area is not the fault of Shels, this here was directly the fault of Finn Harps.

[LeixlipRed]

I do believe that power failure was the fault of the ESB. And it affected the whole Drumcondra area as CSF says.

[the-blue-harp]

ah well was a nice scenic drive for ya :D

[LeixlipRed]

Let's hope you're still smiling when your club goes out of business:o

[Sam_Heggy]

Shels fans on here seem to have a great memory when pointing out to Fingal fans about their 115 years in existence. The only problem is they seem to forget the many problematic events during that existence.

[cheech]

Let's hope you're still smiling when your club goes out of business:o

Regardless, we won't give the league as good a laugh as everyone had at your fall from "grace".

Even now as a mediocre First Division side Shels fans still manage to have illusions of grandeur.

It was very regrettable what happened on Friday night. I had take a half day off work and drove from Dublin for it. As embarrassing as it maybe for Harps, the truth of the matter is that it was an unfortunate mistake, one which they will be rightfully punished for.

But for any group of fans in this entire country to be suggesting all these punishments, you lot should be last in the line with your track record.

If we're mediocre you musn't even exist :eek:

[cheech]

If we're mediocre you musn't even exist :eek:

That is the point boy wonder. Harps fans are very aware of what we are.

Ostrich behaviour for years from your lot is the reason you are were you are.

A mediocre First Division side.

Hope you had a good weekend.

[Mr A]

I don't know what Shels fans are so upset about.

They should be grateful for another excuse to get our of their slums.

[The Lep]

Wrong my friend.

[CSFShels]

Wrong my friend.
I'm not your friend.

[The Lep]

Is it cos i is black?

[CSFShels]

No its because you just made that terrible joke.

[Hairy Bowsie]

What the **** is wrong with this website? 5 pages of posts that are essentially just name calling. Has anyone got a decent point to make at all? Because if not this could be consigned to the rubbish section and it's not just this thread, almost every other thread ends up like this. I remember when the posters on here had something decent to say and didn't just slag each other but it seems anyone who did have anything decent to say has got sick of this nonsense, or been banned or in the case of Dodge, doesn't have to use the bit of intelligence and reasoning he has to post and is obviously just resigned to posting nonsense too.

Gone be with the days of Eanna, Tiktok, Billy Lord, WWS and so on. Sure there was even a 15 year old kid at the time (De Town) who would put all these adult idiots to shame. I used to enjoy reading this website, there was a great mix of banter and intelligent posts, now there is neither.

Best post on here in ages.

The guys in this thread should feel ashamed of themselves for spouting such peurile nonsense.

Where is the MOD or Admin ppl to delete or move this thread??

You are on this thread calling for all Shels fans to boycott to the next two trips to Ballybofey and in your next post, write this?

You give out about people slagging one another and then have a go at Dodge?

You say that there used to be a good mixture of banter and intelligent posts on here. I think there still is. Not that I've seen much of either from you.

You'll find that when somewhat starts a thread with over-sensational conspiracy theory nonsense, it continues in that vein.

It's clear to everyone with half a brain that Harps didn't set out to make the pitch unplayable, ergo they shouldn't and won't forfeit the match or home advantage, in the same way every other match postponed because of an unplayable pitch is simply replayed.

Oh, and before I forget, anyone needing an example of puerile and infantile posts should do through your post history. I seem to remember quite a few around the start of the season about Derry City. Hypocritical, moi?!

[Finlay Harp]

I cant believe a few stones on the pitch are annoying everyone. Sure it was not that long ago we were chasing sheep of the pitch. Ah those were the days. Nothing like a good three legged yo;)

[Hairy Bowsie]

Any your point is what exactly? I believe the reasons for boycotting the 2 trips to Harps this season are valid.


You give out about people slagging one another and then have a go at Dodge?

I didn't have a go at him as such, i'd even call it a back handed compliment. He used to be one of those people whose point was always decent and put across in an intelligent way, like the others i mentioned, but now he's been brought down to the level of the rest of the crap that now exists here.

Show 5 intelligent posts from the last weekend?

You'll find that when somewhat starts a thread with over-sensational conspiracy theory nonsense, it continues in that vein.

I also find that when a thread starts with a valid point or question, it takes about 5 posts before it descends into nonsense and then conitnues like that with the exception of the odd post here or there.

I've said as much

I don't remember what ones exactly but it could be to do with my belief that Derry City don't belong in the LoI and i still believe that. Everyone will think i'm mad for saying that but it's how i feel and i'm not saying it for the sake of saying it.

Also nearly 3500 odd posts later and you've hardly developed a reputation for yourself either so don't make out you're any better because you've more posts. Your recent lie about Shels in this thread proves that.

[OneRedArmy]

Your recent lie about Shels in this thread proves that.What lie was that? That $hel$ once delayed a game with Derry because Ollie repeatedly refused to let them wear Derry's away kit because the ref deemed a clash of colours?

I sure have a vivid imagination...

I dont see how you can say that on any "moral high ground".

Who cares though? We're in the LoI, and that's the way it will be until/if there is an all-Ireland league.

I believe it went as such, we brought the correct kit, our away kit and the ref wouldn't let us wear it so instead of Derry doing the easy thing and wearing their away kit, we had too.

No vivid imagination, you're just a liar

P.S. Normally if you're calling someone a liar you would say something stronger than "I believe".

You sure;) ?

Ye might want to check it, you are nearly right, but not.

[Sam_Heggy]

Finn Park, the same surface deemed not payable on Friday was passed by an FAI referee today for our A League match against Sligo tonight.
The groundsman didn't touch the pitch since friday, the big question is, how can a ref pass the pitch 5 days after it was turned down and no work done on it since?
