I won't be able to join that cybergoodness :( because I'll be supporting Shels in the stadium :cool:


By the way, is it Longford that they call "the sheepshaggers" or are those Donegal folks ?? :confused:

Both, and anyone else from outside of Dublin. :D

Someone of our fans even nicknamed Cork City sheepshaggers... Seems a bit awkward for a city, looks more like what you'd call a team from a very rural place...

The best reaction to mockery is just playing the game. It's never harmfully intended anyway.

I like Cardiff City fans' reaction to the "you're sheepshaggers" chants from the opposite fans... When CCFC opens the score they go "one-nil for the sheepshaggers" on the tones of 'stand up for the champions' :) Great reaction ! Alternatively they'd sing "we shag them, you eat 'em" which sounds less tasteful :eek:

Anyway, respect for the Longfordians, there were some very friendly folks there in the stadium and though there was a poor gate, the ones who were there were rather noisy (until Jayo and Ritchie caused a general silence ;) )



Nice trip again yesterday, looking forward to Monday. Up to the Ports !

Ah, we got away with the three points in a rather tough away game, so let's not complain.

Ritchie Baker was great again yesterday, what an asset !

Why the heck was Pat Fenlon sent off ? He didn't run on the field or behave badly IMO...

We've given some good reactions.Best was pats 3 or 4 seasons ago in richmond.Reaction to "You can stick your ****ing tractors up your arse":

"You can stick your ****ing needles up your arms"
"Atleast we own our tractors"
"2-0 to the tractor boys"

That game imo is still one of the best atmospheres we've had

[Gerrit]

Those last two are great yeah :) Don't get the needles one though :confused:

Gerrit, Junkies use needles
