Kevin Doyle And Shane Long Played The Last 10 Minutes As 2 Forwards For Reading Last Night Against Leicester
Doyle is doing well Shane Long is a handy player and
only with coaching could be very good.
Long only ever played about ten minutes for us.
and looked very good in that time.
Never should have happened tbh
Pity the club let it happen again
Remember Damien Delaney going for a small price aswell a few years back
If we got proper money for those players we'd be in a good position
Cant let it happen again
Keeps happening though no matter what lies we're told
Robbed .... !! :mad:

I watched the game and the introduction of Shane changed the game.
Doyle was the lone striker with fellow Irish man, Stephen Hunt playing in support. With the score at 2-1. Reading were finding it hard to break Derby down. Shane Long came on for winger, Bobby Convey, in the 70th minute and within seconds his pace proved too much for Andrew Davies. The late lunge from Davies saw him recieve his second yellow card and subsequently, his marching orders.
Derby's numerical disadvantage saw them unable to mount an attack as they clung on to their slender lead. Relentless pressure from Reading finally yielded a goal when Long rose higher than everyone and headed home from close range on 88 minutes.
He had a chance to snatch all three points moments later, from an identical position, but headed over.
At 18 years of age, he has a lot to learn, but Shane Long is in good company with Kevin Doyle (http://www.readingfc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/d7/a/0,,10306~2820823,00.jpg)and could very well be the future of Irish goalscoring.

What was the story with Shane Long? Did he have a clause in his contract akin to Doyle's? Or did Cork just accept a bid.?
I interviewed him soon after he made his debut for Cork and he seemed delighted to be there and was just concerned about breaking into the Cork first team. A few weeks later and he was off to Reading.

Long was on the U21 team for City and that team did very well, Long was banging them home for fun at one stage. Dolan obviously saw this and pimped him off, after playing only ten minutes for Citys first team.
Dolan is a snake in the grass and the people who defend him are exponentially worse, this cannot be understated. The people that enable these pimps to behave the way they do are doing untold damage.
Long's contract was nearly up and on Dolan's advice was refusing to sign a new one. Which meant City had to let him go then, or risk losing him for nothing.
What was the fee again?something like €50,000 wasnt it?

Serves you lot right for taking both of those players under our noses by Wallace and Fat telling both players that there was no youth set up at Waterford.
I guess what comes around goes around.
Screwed all the way. :D

You're back to calling him "Fat" now again I see since you've realised he was only using your pathetic little club to get a nice big cheque and had no interest whatsoever in your fortunes?!
"We were far superior to Waterford tonight"!:D

"We were far superior to Waterford tonight"!:Dwas that the bit just before he used "we" to refer to Waterford? Or was it "us" he called them. Poor confused man
was that the bit just before he used "we" to refer to Waterford? Or was it "us" he called them.
I think it was the bit where he was just trying to wind us all up.
Poor confused man
Surprised he found his way "home" that night such was his confusion.

Sorry am i missing something?Did these players want to leave?Surely they did.I know who id rather play for.You'd be correct in this respect but for every 1 or 2 that make it, how many come back or rot in reserve team football across the water because of such serpents.

pat dolan is named once again as cork city manager
Dolan was the manager when he made those comments and when Long made his debut for Ireland U19's.
It was great to see my own name in the programme and see Cork City alongside big clubs like Roma, Inter, Milan and Juventus."
He hit the post with a diving header after coming on against Italy for his Irish u19s debut. City boss Pat Dolan told corkcityfc.ie, "Shane playing is fantastic news and a great honour for him. It's a reward for his hard work.
"It's a fabulous achivement for everyone associated with Shane, especially his family and his former club St Michael's in Tipperary."
He has played with Reading winger Jonathan Hayes each time he has appeared for the Irish u19s. He played for the Ireland international amateur team in two games
