Favourite Opposition Player

[razor]

With all the hatred doing the rounds I thought maybe we could turn the tables and give those opposition players we like an honourable mention.
For me theres only one winner and that has to be Digger.

[Longfordian]

Stuey Byrne..former Town hero

[Hibs4Ever]

Martin Reilly

[Longfordian]

If Digger doesn't win this poll by a mile, things are wrong...

He'll be reading this I'd say so keep those compliments coming :D

[patsh]

Didn't we already have a thread on this, and Digger won by a mile?

[Macy]

I'll go with Stuey as well.

Tony Bird has taken the section O stick about his "Back to men" hair in a good way as well (I suppose Myler would've been on the list as well for the last game of the season, but then he's one of us now).

[Schumi]

Has to be Digger.

[James]

used be digger by a mile
but now its only digger by a fair bit from Conor O Grady
really admired the way he "celebrated" the goal he got for derry in front of the shed end.. class act

Now why did'nt i think of that :p

A few players - Tony MacDonnell, Jason Byrne, Kevin Hunt

[Dufferlover]

Digger for sure. Especially after the semi-final replay in United Park when he showed he had a bit of charachter after that little f*cker Dessie Baker took a hissy fit.

[Slash/ED]

Yeah it has to be digger, always a class act no matter what anyone says about him he takes it in the right spirit. Great player too.

[Wiseguy]

Stu Byrne defo and Willie Bruton is a nice guy aswell but i don't really hate other than Alan Reynolds,Shane Robinson & Trevor Molloy.
As for managers i'd have to day Pat Dolan is a great ambassador for the league and always has respect for any team he is up against.Pat Fenelon is alright aswell and on the hate list would be Stephen Kenny and not because he left Longford but it's all down to the remarks and comments he made afterwards and i think he is a very bad loser.Reynolds is a tramp and Roddy Collins is a snake who will jump ship any chance he gets no matter where he is.

[wws]

eddie gormley is the man(not technically a player anymore but howinever)

[Cosmo]

Digger and Don Tierney with Dublin City.

From next season you can probably add Danny O Connor, Myler and Cronin to my list

[thecorner]

digger also but then gough is good laugh as well

[Maz]

gonna go with Stuie Byrne also

[Xlex]

used be digger by a mile

tut, tut James, we're gone metric!

[sligoman]

Digger.

Who's he?

[sligoman]

Has to be Jonnie Kenny(Unsure) and Paraic Moran(Athlone Town)-Both former Rovers players and did a lot for the club. Even tough Kenny did join Harps :mad: . Where is he now any of ye know, think he has left Harps

[thecorner]

Who's he?


dont worry about it...its a premier thing ;)

[sligoman]

dont worry about it...its a premier thing ;)

Watch yourself boy! :mad: We could be up there soon enough :)

[Éanna]

Digger by a good bit for me. Others would be Gareth Cronin, Dave Hill and Conor O'Grady- all fella's who left city on good terms with the fans and came back without gettin much stick. I know it'll shock a few people, but I do remember having a good laugh on the píss with Reynolds up in longford one night- before he joined city- and had a great chat once with Tony O'Dowd in the TCT after a game a few years back- seemed like a really nice fella.

[De Town]

Stuie Byrne. LEGEND :cool:

[Martinho II]

stewie byrne digger stephen kelly(athlone) ex town great

oso kevin hunt

[BobtheDrog]

let the hi ho's begin

[Xlex]

Tony O'Connor - Gent

Kevin Hunt

[kevincronin2000]

dont worry about it...its a premier thing ;)

Longford town goalkeeper O'Brien ( legend)

[ConfusedBlue]

Mixed feelings over saying this(for obvious reasons) but it has to be Alan Kirby!!!!

To score a goal in a cup final must be an unbelievable feeling but the way he reacted showed everyone exactly how he felt!!Always gave his all in the Blue's shirt and never had a bad word to say about the club.He takes unwarranted stick from the crowd whenever he plays against us,never reacts to it and just gets on with the job unlike 1 or 2 others who left at a similar time(Robinson & Reynolds).A true professional and a gentleman!!!
