Games on the radio?

[joeraki]

This is a team that got some bloke out of jail on a one day pass to make up the numbers !! Worst EL result ever :mad:

All this from a so called Cup team !!

[student]

. The quality of the eL has made huge strides since then...just not in Longford!!!

well lads you can say what you want but Longford havent been beaten in a cup competition by an Eircom League team in 2 years. you can hardly complain about them being **** if our own teams (as in EL) cant even beat them.

[Slash/ED]

And Tony ****ing Bird is their star striker :rolleyes:

This is a league where Jimmy Aggrey was a top centre half :rolleyes:

Words can't express how truly pathetic this result and Longford are.

[shedite]

Colin O'Brien on. 2mns left

[Poor Student]

We played Pats the following week and spent 90 minutes singing a brand new "10-0 to the refugees" song

The whole of you in Turner's X called them refugees eh?

[dancinpants]

well lads you can say what you want but Longford havent been beaten in a cup competition by an Eircom League team in 2 years.

And if they win the cup again this year I'll cry.

[higgins]

but they are ****!!!

IDIOTS

[EnDai]

FT in Wales. I hope they're laughed off the pitch. An absolute disgrace. I hope their boat sinks! ;)

[shedite]

Longfrod finished. Please hold on City. Wanna go home from work :p

[Poor Student]

As much as Longford's result embarrasses me, Student is right. They earn their right and as I said before it is par in every European country for the winners of the national cup to enter the UEFA Cup.

[Slash/ED]

And if they win the cup again this year I'll cry.

Absolutley, I will cheer for anybody against that shower now. Never, ever let them in Europe again.

[ifk101]

Is it possible to get the port at Dunlaoighre closed?

[harpskid]

Good God, what a disaster :mad:

[student]

well done city

[shedite]

Job Done :D

[Slash/ED]

Well thank christ for that.

[gspain]

Well done cork 0-1 is a res - bad for the coefficient but they got through and that had to be priority.

Words fail me on Longford.

[dancinpants]

Longfords goals for and against this season For 15 Against 13. Sums up the kind of team they are. They were well and truly found out tonight.

[exile]

Is it possible to get the port at Dunlaoighre closed?


they should sink the boat on the way back

[harpskid]

Job well done l@ngers ;)

As for Longford :eek:

[EnDai]

they should sink the boat on the way back

If "they" don't, I will! :eek:

[crc]

Very relieved for City.

Longford - unbe****inglievable :mad: :( :confused:

[dancinpants]

Where are all the Longford Foot.ie users? Surely they didn't all go to Wales did they?

[Poor Student]

Spare a thought for the Longford supporters who made the jounrey for this one lads. :o

Congratulations Cork though it is disappointing you lost at home to a side you could beat 2-0 away.

[scrappy harp]

My god longford were bad against harps last weekend but 5-1......................

Well done cork restoring a bit of pride.

[higgins]

Both Cork and Longford have let the league down...
no COEFFICIENT points :( :mad:

Its shocking !!

Cork go through but what good is that for anyone except Cork? They will not get a better chance at more points then a home fixture in the first round.

Longford OUT, Shels away to Steaua and Cork are whats left!

We needed to get an average of about 2.5 to 3 to have much chance of getting that bye into Round 2. 1.500 looks like its about all we will get :(

[ifk101]

Are Mullingar Town still interested in joining the league? One free league place agoing.....

[exile]

have all the barstoolers on now harping on about how sh1te the league is ............... q the longford and shellthick jokes

[Slash/ED]

You can't say Cork let the league down, their first priority is progression and they did that much.

As for Longford :rolleyes:

[Poor Student]

Eh...they went to wales not the other side of Europe fella

Still Hayser a trip overseas to see your team get ripped apart is not something I'd fancy.

[EnDai]

have all the barstoolers on now harping on about how sh1te the league is ............... q the longford and shellthick jokes

I suppose, at least Longford scored?

[dancinpants]

I suppose, at least Longford scored?

Aye but the needed a peno to do it!!!

Whats the fcukin' bets Matthews took them there for the draw... :rolleyes:

[Slash/ED]

Absolutley, say he had ten men behind the ball until the 4th went in.

[-Bray-]

Can anyone explain this points system to me please? Confusing. And how many are we off for getting a bye into the european cup second qualifying for next season?

Thanks

[higgins]

Cork should have finished the job off at home. Its crap results like that that will have them UNseeded in the Champions League if they get there!! and its being UNseeded in the Champions League that means we will get no further then the first round again.

At least shels went into the HOME game against Glentoran with the correct attitude. We really needed 6 wins from 6 in the first round and we only got 4 thanks to Cork and Longford.

Im happy for the Cork fans who are now into the 2nd QR , well done to Cork but as a league we are still a joke. 5-1 to a Welsh team ???? FC Vaduz and now this?? Longford are doing their best to get all other countries they face above us in the coefficient table :mad:

[Poor Student]

That's a near impossibility. The national co-efficient is an accumulated result of points gained over the last 5 years. It'll take us years to work it up to that.

[-Bray-]

Cheers mate.


How many Uefa cup qualifying rounds are there anyone?

[Battery Rover]

And as hard as it is say this. Best of Luck to Longford and all their supporters

But it dont hurt me to say this HA HA

[higgins]

Especially with Longford as one of the three teams :(

They are a joke!! Wales will be ranked higher then us at this rate !! Longford your a disgrace to the league. Im sick tonight :( Shels get two wins and a draw but then it really counts for nothing with this crap tonight.

[hamish]

Whew - well done Cork City - you guys had us worried there.

I feel nothing but sadness for the large contingent of Longford fans who went over and suffered that disgraceful display and also all those who worked so hard to improve facilities etc. This result just has no excuses going for it. You win a home game 2-0 - should have been more I believe - and then get stuffed by the same outfit 5-1 two weeks later.
What the hell happened??
I'll just bet we hear reports about some pre-match dispute about bonuses, expenses or something like that. I can smell something like that happening.
Rediculous? - I've seen that happen up close with another club when players threatened to go on strike over bonuses 15 minutes before a vital promotion game and played $hite for the 90 inutes when their bluff was called.
I can think of no other reasons why a team might implode that easily.
If any Longford fans hear ANYTHING like the above - spit it out and let those fcuking players - who threw your loyal support back in your faces - know that they are no longer wanted.
This is the kind of result that really p!$$es me off with regard to EL football. :mad:
What formation did Matthew put out? 0-0-11??

[Poor Student]

Cheers mate.


How many Uefa cup qualifying rounds are there anyone?

There's 2. Cork have negotiated the first and are now through to the 2nd. Btw this coefficient is worked out by dividing the total number of points earned by a country's clubs divided by the number of clubs. At the qualifying stage clubs get 1 point for a draw and 2 for a win. As Ireland has three clubs those points are divided by three.

[exile]

i actualy feel quite sorry for the fans in general they are a loyal bunch and always up for the craic its not their fault their manager and team are tacticly inept

[higgins]

Yes but most of them defend the team and the results they get. Vaduz is still seen as some sort of ok defeat??

They allow this to go on because they dont put pressure on Matthews. He should walk away after that. Whats the point !!

[exile]

id like to see them try and defend this result

[dancinpants]

id like to see them try and defend this result

Matthews will put it down to a "crazy 15 minute spell, were they managed to snatch 3 very fortunate goals"

[Slash/ED]

Matthews needs to have a wee look at his position at Longford, as do the players.

Agreed.

[RonnieB]

Feel sorry for all the lads and lassies who made the trip to support them and see that sort of a result. An absolute collapse and from what I could make out with the commentary on the radio they just seemed sloppy and careless with no real drive. :(

[dancinpants]

they just seemed sloppy and careless with no real drive. :(


Thats bloody awful...if I were a Longford fan I'd be lookin' for heads (and plenty of them) on plates :mad:

[EnDai]

I cannot wait to hear some of the chants that will be aimed at them now. That said, I hope they all die and never get to play in front of paying fans again - its just too much to ask for.

[ShelsTim]

After all the progress and hope, after the great results in recent times, summer football, increased crowds, more TV, more money, and then, 5-1 and 1-0. Terrible, terrible, terrible day for the eL and it's not just Longford, Cork lost 1 nil at home against a crowd they beat 2-0 away. That is terrible, if a club has any ambition whatsoever it would push for two wins, especially if the first one was 2-0 away. Can this be placed squarely at the managers doorstep? I don't think the Longford result can be, but maybe the Cork one, if you're not going to go out to win a game, don't go out at all. What is the ****ing story with managers sitting back? How many times do they need to be bitten in the arse to know that it's not gonna work. Hard to argue with the barstoolers saying the league is ****e now.

****'s sake.
