Breaking news off the wire

[jebus]

Dammit, Nempton pips me to the National Hooligan title, looks like I'll have to settle for being the Local Hooligan then, thank you very much Irish Star....... :(

[willie john]

I told Nempton not to break that story, honest to God I did, at least not til it was somewhat confirmed and ye all know how much I look my rumours, which leads me to.............

From what I hear, the sacking of O Connor story was a ruse to see who was leaking the stories from inside the club, who they went to, and how fast they would come out. Pretty clever Danny, gotta hand this flawless plan to you, now if only there were a machine that you could make a wish to be a big boy like Tom Hanks did in that movie you'd be sorted
Jebus why cant you and Nempton just admit ye were behind it and it backfired :eek: :eek: your sh.tstiring did not work so next line of fire pass the blame to dd or noc no matter what happens they done it :rolleyes: why do you go to matches because it must kill you to see the club being turned around for the best as you all ready stated you would love to see it go belly up so it would pile it on dd and noc .Have they done something to you or what are you a failed footballer ?are you a failed manager?are you realy such a sad git you have to knock everything .or better still are you just a failed bitter person that hates to see anything work? :eek: :D

A few points to address the highly salient and sensible post by good old Chairman Willie.

1) Nempton and Jebus didn't break the story. The Limerick Leader did. According to the people in the Leader that I spoke to the rumour was leaked by a couple of high-ranking club officials who then promptly turned off their phones and refused to clear up the mess they'd made. It was just convenient to blame the website afterwards. I won't say who these officials were but I will say that one of them posts here and pretends it's somebody else. His grammer could do with a bit of work too.

2) The supporters were never offered the chance to run the club. So allow me to answer that query right there. It's irrelvant anyway, if somebody makes a mess of an operation on me I don't need a medical degree to be in a position to criticise him. My missing limbs or leaking organs would be proof enough (in a football context insert missing midfield and leaking defence I suppose :)) and enable me to criticise. I would expect my family and friends to criticise on my behalf if things went particularly badly!

3) What have the supporters given the club? The very fact that you asked that just boggles my mind. Outside of support I'm going to throw a few questions back at you. Who mans the gate at U-21s games? Who actually does the whole selling of tickets for the much hyped car draw? Who have written articles for the club programme? I think you'll find the answer to the questions I've just asked are.... The Supporters. It's nice to see that, as the clubs online mouthpiece, you're in a position to substantiate a commonly held theory that the current owners are more concered about money that anything else... Those naughty supporters won't throw us money... right... between a match ticket, a programme, a first goal ticket, a hot dog and a bottle of 7-Up I suppose I'm paying about €20 every time I set foot in Hogan Park.

I suppose I could have saved myself a lot of time and rather than writing all this (which I expect will go over your head anyway) I could have just done this - :rolleyes:

Probably the most spot on post on this site EVER!
What Chairman Willie needs to realise is without the very fans he berates, there is no club. I really cant get over DD's behaviour this season. He HAS done some very positive things for the club but his relentless mission for attention is reckless and an insult to the supporters who have followed the club down the table over the years and would follow the club there again and again. If indeed Willie John, you are Drew, you have a lot of questions to answer. You have the cheek to have a go at the supporters club who dont gain a cent for the work and effort they do for this club week after week, you talk about people putting something into the club?? I for one offered to design an official site, posters, leaflets etc for the club FREE of charge at the start of the season, did I even get a REPLY to this offer?? NO. Then of course the Galway500 reaction. I send a message to you about planning a Limerick5000 AFTER all of this, throw a few ideas your way, whats your reply? Nothing. Jesus, if you asked the supporters to go out to Hogan Park and paint the place, get a few lawnmowers to the entrance they would. And you wonder then why we get a little uptight when the club throws away our top-scorer, trims the squad when its in trouble and our chairman calls the supporters scumbags...baffling.

[jebus]

Jesus and I was told at the game last night that Danny Drew, sorry I mean Willie John, gave me and Nempton a verbal spanking on foot, and this is all it is? A paranoid chairman mumbling about conspiracy theories and passing the buck about certain rumours(pot, kettle, Danny?). Anyway lets clear up a few points.


what are you a failed footballer ?

#1. I suppose you could call me a failed footballer in that I gave it up at schoolboy level (there's another clue to my identity Danny, send your flying monkeys out to search that one down)


Have they done something to you?

#2. Well I have had to endure watching the ball being punted from one end of the field to the other this season, and pay 8euro a game for it on top of that. It used to be 5euro a game, or at least I think it was, according to those darn 'club sources' it was never 5euro and we all imagined that.


are you realy such a sad git you have to knock everything

#3. What else am I gonna do, throw on one of my many Limerick tops and practice shooting on my new goalposts? :p


why do you go to matches because it must kill you

#4. Come on now, the hotdogs aren't that undercooked


Jebus why cant you and Nempton just admit ye were behind it and it backfired :eek: :eek: your sh.tstiring did not work so next line of fire pass the blame to dd or noc no matter what happens they done it

#5. Because as SLK said previously, we weren't the ones who broke the story, the Limerick Leader was, and basic common sense says that the Leader wouldn't take a story as big as the manager of Limerick FC resigning off of two regular fans. They would contact a high-up official first to confirm the story, and then run it. Now the only two officials that i would contact if I were trying to verify a story would be either Danny Drew, our esteemed Chairman, or Noel himself, so basic common sense says it must have been one of the two who either gave the Leader the story, or at the very least verified it. Danny you were caught with your pants down nowhere near the urinals on this one so take your own advice and stop passing the buck :)

The thing about having balls Willie is that you have to know what to do with them and by the sounds of it you've been juggling yours for the past while by your lonesome self.

To clarify for you and if you have difficulty understanding, I'm sure I can find some crayons and draw you a picture to help you understand...I'm not responsible for starting the story about Noel. I found out from a journalist source who informed me of what was going on. I posted what I heard here and that is all I'm guilty of. If I really was responsible then why did our 'beloved' Danny ring the Limerick Leader and ask John O'Shaughnessy to find out who leaked the story on the web. Clearly Willie John our chairman seems to know that I wasn't responsible for the story, jeez I wonder who is then? :rolleyes:

All I will say is when I was told about Danny ringing into the Leader we all had a good laugh about it. Do you hear that flushing sound...thats Danny's credibility once more being flushed down the toilet :D
Somebody better get Willie John a tampon I think he's bleeding after this...(sorry for being so crude folks).

[sadloserkid]

(sorry for being so crude folks).

Well try and keep the biological imagery of it in future or I'll be forced to lock the thread. And I feel that would be a shame as all sorts of interesting things are coming out about the club on it.

[4tothefloor]

Here's a song for the fans to sing at future games....

Edit: Was advised to take it down :rolleyes: :D

[gael353]

Sorry Dar :o sometimes when you deal with idiots you have to resort to their level so they'll understand what your saying.

Willie John please feel free to reply back anytime soon.
