86.That some Limerick fans hated GUFC more than they loved Limerick.
Why Conor it was never GUFC that I hated, it was you and your like who supported Galway's method of winning promotion without actually winning a damn thing, anyway as Pineapple Stu said in point 87.....
EDIT: Although I do hate GUFC with a passion :D ;)

:o
Point number 90 is actually embarassing if you know anything about GUFC and Byrne.It also shows your complete ignorance of the selection process.
Also its not fair to leave out Mr. Naughton (vice-chairman of the league, or something?), another GUFC supporter !!! :D

89. that so many muppets would take Conor H seriously !
Although I can't speak for every muppet on here, I can assure you the Limerick branch certainly doesn't take ConorH and his views seriously. Rather, we think of him as a sort of internet pet, albeit a rather hard to train one

Nothing shocks me with Rangers anymore, absolute shambles
Agreed about the gradual improvement. They're still as doomed as doomed could be though.......

As you can probably gather from the post count I was poking fun at el clubs on here long before Limerick F.C went into hibernation (Watch this space re a new club BTW since you all seem so interested). Infact now that I think of it I didn't even poke fun at an existing el club in this thread so why am I defending myself :confused: :p

Stating that Galway didn't win promotion on the pitch isn't poking fun, just stating facts, can I help it if Conor and the rest get their noses put out of joint by this? ;)
lads why are ye even in the eL section - are ye not reclassified in the intermetiate or junior section yet. have they removed the limerick crests from the eL avatar section???
Oh he got us there, why are we on a public forum anyway? Sure our club may or may not be in the Eircom League next year, we should go away until that is resolved and not post anymore. God help us if LFC are gone, Dahamsta boots each and every Limerick fan out of this public forum and we're not allowed upset precious Galway anymore :rolleyes:

i have personally never been upset by any LFC supporters however i do notice that there seems to be a fair amount of prodding on the GUFC threads from LFC supporters.
i just find it funny that having been excluded from the new LOI that yer main source of entertainment on this forum appears to be gained on the GUFC pages!!

The eL ceased to exist last November. Wheather or not Limerick get invited into any new league which may happen to be formed is a seperate issue.

while it is still called the eL on fai reports and website and untill the new name is announced i will continue to call it the eL. if the new name has been announced i will stand corrected and begin to call it that. however if the new name is 'the eircom League of Ireland' i will, for speed of typing continue to call it eL on this forum. i believe i am not confused
