Bohs Accept Ward Bid

This is where you and your mates have it all wrong. I don't support any English team. I only support Irish players playing in England. These are the players that like it or not are the only ones capable of getting us to the finals of major competitions and this is how it will always remain whether you like it or not due to the reasons I mentioned in the last post.

Ireland with it's lack of large urban centres can't support a top European league. It's not possible.

My hero.

Without fans like me


As a Limerick FC supporter, who has been to hundreds of games over a 15 year period, and played hundreds of games at some of the worst levels.......

I am so very sick of people........

A. saying that being a eL fan makes you a better fan of the Irish national team. (or going so far as to say that without being an eL fan, you cannot be an Irish fan)

B. Saying that players from the eL are being robbed by English clubs - if you had the chance to buy something worth 20 quid for just 5 quid, because the owner didnt realise what he had/didnt have the balls to ask for a good price, would you really pay the proper price anyway. The fault lies at eL clubs for allowing the sale for less than the proper value.

C. saying things like "Premiersh!t" and "Bogball" so on. It seems that, having been marginalised for so long just for being LOI supporters, fans feel it gives them a right to condemn any other fans as idiots, condemn our British based players as "overpaid wasters", and condemn other sports in the way they have condemned ours.

Neil McD and Hooperatzi YOU HAVEN'T A CLUE. YOU LIVE IN FANTASY LAND. Get some medication. Now stop annoying me with your illogical totally off point arguments (as usual).

:rolleyes:

pot calling the kettle black?

In fairness, the views here are obviously those of the minority BUT there is no argument against the fact that people who go to club games every week are better football fans than those who go once a month. Regardless of the teams involved.

[osarusan]

As for Hooperatzi. Your entire set of posts have been in rain man speak. We need you far more than you need us? Ireland the national team needs the English league far more than the EL considering all it's players come from there. As for your Rovers point. Good one. We were doing great bact in the 1920's when all our players came from Rovers. Let's go back to that time should we? How many Rovers players have played in International tournaments for us? 0. You really have no breeze about International football. If it was up to rain men like you we'd still select all our players for the EL and still be getting hammerred by San Marino. You are the worst type of supporter not us because you clearly ignore the realities of life and would have our International team go back to the dark ages to suport your own f**ked up agenda. Get this - do you not think it might actually be good for the International team to have it's player's playing from a young age in one of the top leagues in the world instead of some second rate, badly run, corrupted sh*te whose teams are considered to be doing well if they get knocked out in the preliminary stages of the Champions League? You know nothing about football. Absolutely nothing. If watching the EL contributes to having a knowledge about football equal to your own, thanks very much but I'll continue to watch proper games instead.



Agree with this except for the word "proper".

For all its problems, eL football is as proper as any other league in the world.

I'd say that this thread proves there is plenty of arguement about that.

edit: apologies about the double post - i'd merge if i knew how.

Says the man who thought Shane Long was slow.

Please God help me. Holland has 15 million people and is one of the most heavily urbanised countries in the world. Belgium has about 11 and is also heavily urbanised. Each has a large number of cities with populations greater than 500,000. Ireland has 1 city that satisfies that criteria.

Do some research before trying to sound clever you only end up supporting my argument when trying to rebuke it.

Says the man who thought Shane Long was slow.

i said he didnt have searing pace to allow him to make an impact as a young striker in the premiership, extrapolate all you want from that but i dont think it means slow. by the way i had a quick look at that forum and didnt see anything to back up what you said, maybe a few links would be better than us trawling through the site or just trusting you..the general consensus given doyles injury, although a few wanted long to start, was that they should only play lita up front, bring kitson back sooner or transfer someone in. also, how is giving a view on a player off-point and illogical, particularly compared to your post

No valid arguement

Sorry who are my mates, I am confused now.

Secondly I never said you supported an English team


Thirdly I never said The LOI could be a top European League. However it can be a sustainable league that can produce players for the National team in teh same way that the Swedish league does and then if the very top players need to go abroad to play at the highest level in Europe fair enough.


The funny thing is I have pretty similar views to you on my support of players as in my first priority in most things is the Irish team. When I look at games in England or Scotland it is to see how the Irish players are doing. However I do not have disdain for our own league and I respect both the players and fans and people involved and how much effort they put in to it. At the end of the day I like going to live matches.

I think this thread has run it's course by now, too many slagging matches going on.

We've been all over this before......................just leave it there eh?:D
