We're all a Hoop tonight

[SeanDrog]

sad to dsay I didnt get to travel when the drogs played abroad - just didnt have the funds at the time but it must be a great experience seeing what you describe Dodge. Here at home it does feel like your under siege as n LOI supporter.

Keep promising myuself (since a kid) I would get to games in italy - maybe I will get off my arse and finally book for a game in the new season. Anyone ever go to a Juv game?

[Dodge]

Didn't mean that last line to sound so harsh BTW but it is great SeanDrog. Been to 6 away games in Europe now and everywhere we've been the locals always come up and chat about football whether its smaller countries like malta or huge countries like Germany. They all understand what its like to follow your team

[Duggie]

I thought the Italian players were very respectful towards the Irish lads. Great seeing Del Piero with his arm over bradleys shoulders and having a bit of a laugh. When they made a sub, the Italian coming off put his hand out to shake a rovers player hand etc etc I was very impressed with their attitude - it could have been all too easy for them to look down on Rovers but they treated them as equals.

this is exactly what i was going to say. i was really impressed the way juventus conducted themselves over the 2 legs. really gave shams total respect on the pitch and in the media and not in a patronising way. lesser teams have shown a lack of respect for our teams in europe in the past but not Juve. I will be cheering them on for the rest of the campaign and it would be brilliant if they got to the final in dublin and i think a lot of people over here would go out and support them.

on the game i though shams were brilliant, played really well and tried to use the ball when they got possession. i slated dan murray last week but in fairness he had a great game last night, totally in command and the biggest scoring threat. i was proud to be a LOI supporter last night. well done rovers.

Well done Rovers, must have been a good night for Rovers fans, even considering the weather. Actually, the memories of watching your team hold Juve at 0-0 until a superb Del Piero freekick seperated the sides might even be given a warmer glow when you consider the driving rain for virtually the whole game. Rovers fans seemed to be there in good numbers too, it was a shame that the camera didn't show them more often.

On the game, there's no doubt that the rain hindered Juve more than Rovers, but so what? The reason it was 0-0 with 16 minutes to go wasn' the rain, but Rovers' determination, and indeed Murray's performance. It will have been a great night, and european experience for all of them. I actuallt felt a little sorry for Twigg, as the role he had to play for bothe legs must have been quite frustrating for him.

that's what i thought as well - it's down under the name of rory houston.

Unles that's some sort of pseudonym....?

oh.my.god.

Good show by Rovers. Slightly made up for the shame of Aviva.
Talking before the Aviva debacle, Rico's defensive attitude towards the slaughter was laughable. 'People are naieve to look at the result alone'. I can only presume he's finally gone mad. I had quite a lot of respect for him only a few days ago, but he's now sunk to near John Delaney depths in my disdain. If he's on MNS on Monday, I hope he's taken to task over it.
Anyway - well done Rovers.

[Straightstory]

Sorry 'talking before the Juve - Rovers game about the Aviva debacle'.... is what I meant to say...

[geysir]

It was too much like a competitive friendly. Shake hands after the game but rib the bollíx out of them on the pitch. You wouldn't have got any Juve players smiling and offering handshakes if Rovers had gone into the lead.
Thought Rovers were excellent. Not up there with Drogheda's exploits in Russia but still a highly commendable composed performance. Great that RTE showed it live.

[Dixie Dean]

Restricting Juventus to 3 goals is hard work for any LOI team. I look forward to Sligo's attempts to restrict it further...

...sometime in 2210.

Cant wait, whens the draw?

[Rasputin]

Indeed....

[Martinho II]

What was that all about on RTÉ

"Billy Dennehey, not the first Kerry man to play in Europe, that honour goes to Derek O'Brien"....

Dear jaysus....

as far as I can read from that comment when Derek O'Brien played for St Pats last season in the europa league he was the first ever person from Co Kerry to represent the league of ireland in Europe and perhaps any other team abroad..thats my take on it..

I dont sleep, looking forward to beating those Shamrock ***** on the 17th

[hoops1]

Its a pity all the players and fans didnt die in a plane crash on the way home

Charming.

I'm sure sleeping will make the wait shorter. Perhaps you should rethink your strategy because it doesn't seem to be working very well.

All but slipped my mind we had a game in another provincial ****hole on that date.

What with games against our real rivals coming up, you tend to forget the nothing games.

Tell you what lads, some comments on this thread from earlier wishing death among fellow league of Ireland supporters is disgusting and scraping the barrel. Hope whoever made the comment and thanked it are banned for life. Shocked and disgusted.

A poster made a joke in very poor taste which has since been deleted. Is there a Shams forum somewhere directing lemmings towards this particular cliff?

If a Rovers fan made a "joke" like that about another set of fans there would be a 10 page thread about it here castigating anything and everything to do with us. The fact it was left here for a good 15 hours without any sort of condemnation from anyone before eventually being deleted after a Rovers fan reported it says it all about the majority of posters on this forum.

Sorry John i must have missed the punchline, was it the bit about the plane crashing or everyone dying that was funny. And some people have the cheek to call Shamrock Rovers fans scumbags.

He wasn't condemned right away, but he was ridiculed which is all it deserved. Post's been deleted - let's just get on with life.

I thought mods were pro-Rovers now?

It was reported by about 10 people and deleted as soon as someone was online to do it, get over yourself.

[Rasputin]

Pffthahaha yes yes of course a tasteless joke is comparable to racist chanting, fan violence, and other such novelties shams bring to the league.
But the tastelessness does ring a bell, it is almost reminiscint of when yee were singing at Webb about his deceased wife or when yee were singing about Wayne O'Donoghue at Cobh.
Yes indeed, lets get all blustered and flustered and stand aghast at the reputation your fans have won for themselves.

I think they're Monaghan fans. They're the only ones who bring farm implements to league games in this day and age!

Nothin like the arrogance of shams fans to reinforce my strong dislike of them

Er,

As a mod I can confirm it was reported by multiple people. It was also condemned on here. It was posted after midnight on Friday, apologies for having a life and having other things to do on a Saturday. When I saw it, I deleted it.

The irony of a Rovers fan claiming anti-rovers bias on a thread called 'we're all a hoop tonight' is unreal...

[mypost]

....or when yee were singing about Wayne O'Donoghue at Cobh....

Wildly inaccurate allegation made against Hoopers circa 487.

Before you go trailing threads to find evidence of aforementioned "song", I was there and can guarantee you it didn't happen, so you're wasting your time.

Kind of like how Shams fans didnt hear the racist chanting aswell?

[dong]

You are without doubt the most annoying, predictable and painfully boring contributor to this forum that I have seen in my time here Rasputin.
Every time I log on and see that you have posted something I have to say that I get a sinking feeling and, sure enough, whan I read what you have posted my worst fears are usually confirmed.
Constant sniping and abuse of Shams fans on an internet forum may make you feel proud and a big man but its really just pathetic.
I really, really hope that the mods get you turfed out of here as soon as possible.

Read the thread. There's plenty of anti Rovers stuff, and there's plenty of pro Rovers stuff. Do you expect everyone to lick your arse?

[dfx-]

My point is that even in a thread as positive as you say "We're all a Hoop tonight", the anti-Rovers comments are easily found and at a glance, quietly supported by many thanks..

So the existence of this thread is evidence of not much more than the previous status quo at best. If I actually cared whether my arse was licked, I'd be long left..

And my point was that there isn't a forum wide anto Rovers stance 9as some Rovers fan claimed), something you've just agreed with

This all started with the plane crash comment.

Pauliek is DELIGHTED!
