section o

[spaceghost]

have to say well done lads the other night, section o was nearly section n and p as well there was that many of ye:D
seriously though ye made savage noise and i'm sure the players apprieciated it,i know us drysh1tes on the other side did;)

[Pauro 76]

Wish I'd been there. Really wish I had. Well done Section O on the effort for the season too.

[Maz]

Yeah lads fair play. Ye added so much to the atmosphere all season, not just the other night

[max power]

might not have a got along with all of the lads, but they have done the club proud for many years......Vaduz with them is something i'll never forget !!

[Maz]

Whole new era of supporters there now max as well as the golden oldies

[max power]

good to hear, Marty and co set an amazing example of support of the club.

[Bosco]

Was dissapointed that there was no mention of section os support during the presentation i.e supporters of the season.All of the organising buses,making banners and getting new people out to matches was alot of effort and it was clear that section os support made a difference to the teams performance,the fact that it was galway away that we got our 1st point(the first match where we organised our own bus up)


ps Me and Cabs have a massive banner on the way,watch this space...

[Mullogher]

totally agree bosco.
It was bad form for neither matthews or moons to acknowledge section o in some way as the o was there 'ALL' season and its support home and away was there superb.


by the way bosco on the way in I noticed that there was certain power tripping English steward who went totally OTT with a younger fan over a horn.

When these fellas get orange jackets on and an earpiece they think
there in a squat team and have license to do what they want.They have no interest in the game and are just there to massage their egos and engage in confrontation.

The town should be encouraging support of any sort especially coming form younger fans as they are the future support.

That man is a ****** of the highest order. A TOSSER if he is reading this.

[Bosco]

Yeah,I know the fella your talking about,absolute ********!He was confronting one of the lads about an airhorn or something,in Dalymount the week before he told one young fan he was never allowed into Flancare again because he let off a small firework about 30 mins after the game finished,who does he think he is?Then at the start of the 2nd half the other night,one of the lads went down to the front to wave the big flag and once again this ******** goes down to stand beside him to make sure he wasnt going to hit anyone with it!And whats with standing in front of us facing us the other night,running to us incase we were going to run onto the pitch.If anything involving him again next season was to happen I would definitely complain,not that the club would listen,he may be doing for free but that doesnt mean he can do what he wants,other clubs have given out about our stewards for years and now I'm starting to see why...

[Mullogher]

yeh
That ***** has been ****ing off town and away fans for years.I rememember back when we played rovers in tolka this season.A young rovers fan knocked a hat I was wearing off my head and ran with it up to stand.My self and 2 mates went after him to get the hat in the stand .however when we stepped into the stand we were serenaded with abuse from rovers fans who told us **** off and Get out(Not surprisng).One fan in particular though said: "the last time we were in longford we were told to **** off put out in the rain by a steward and threated like dogs.So **** off down to your end"

In General Town fans and the club have a good relationship with other clubs and supporters.One only has to look @ the conduct of fans @ every game and the linfield and Glentoran games were trouble could have occured if the wrong element was around but it didn't.

I wonder does the english man in the orange jacket ( in future to be referred to as the orangeman) have anything to do with the rovers fan response and are these views held by fans of other clubs ?

He's the sort of ***** that will damage the clubs image among travelling fans.

Saw the antics of him on friday night.He was a disgust:(.You'd swear section o had been involved in a mass riot the last time the town played in flancare,the way he was going on.

agree with you on that bosco! disappointed with matthews and mooneys lack of recognition of our support as a lot of expense and effort was spent this season! i feel guilty now that section o got a special award from the supporters club three years when the numbers and quality of support was not quite the same!:mad:

[sorbothegreek]

Did Mathews and the whole team not come over to section o at the end of the Derry game and clap and show their appreciation? What more is required?
Personally I go to the games to support and follow the team not to be thanked for doing it.

[max power]

the man is a wnaker at the end of the day.

what a stupid comment, if he was to mention all he would have been there for week and a half.

In my dealings with Alan i always found him honest and to the point and think some of what has been about him in recent days is out of order.

[Nipper]

I appreciated many's the Mathews handclap during the year, but when it had sunk in that we're in the first division he wasn't long cutting us loose.

[max power]

his contract is up and he is not resigning. He made that known and did not string any one along. He also kept his mouth shut durung the season and focused on football matters which must have been very very difficult.

I remember when we won our first cup i was speaking to him and said thanks, he said no thank you. Without the fans we are nothing and can do nothing.

I was not there last weekend so i do not know exectly what he said, BUT from what i have read here he was honest and just said what he thought.

But Section O have to be looked to as a true group of supporters and have done the club proud home and abroad. Wll done all involved and looking forward to hearing yee at the cup final and next season as well.

[Nipper]

Only reason he hasn't resigned is because managing the Town is a handy, well-paid part-time job...the like of which he can't seem to find anywhere else.

[max power]

HA HA, do you know his day job ??? he doesn't need need a part time job. He stayed because he always said he would. give the man his dues. Compare him to certain other managers in the business and he is a rare product, a man of his word.

[Nipper]

Yeah I know well how good his dayjob is...that's why he won't leave part-time football, not out of any loyalty to us.

You sound like you have a major chip on your shoulder.

Many managers would have walked long ago given all that went on this season, he has stood with the club and will carry out his contract in full. You cant expect him to stay on in fairness. As for appreciation, what do you want? Applause from players and managers after games...you got it. Praise from other supporters throughout the season....you got it.

[max power]

might i ask what he has done wrong to expect the insult you laid at his feet above ??


Didn't say well done Section O, so what !


Worked through a mess in the club, took charge with the club having 2 players, most successful manager in the history of the club. Just want to know by him speaking his mind has he undone all the work, impossble to believe ??????

[Nipper]

I'm out of here before I say too much.

I have supported, and stood up for, Alan year after year when he was getting dog's abuse from the average Town fan and I was glad to see that he turned around the general consensus this season.

But his actions since that whistle blew at the end of the Derry game have left an awful taste in my mouth.

As I said, I'm out of here.

You want rid, didn't he say the final was his last game:confused:

Say too much ?????

What did he say that is so wrong??

Things were handled badly, he has made that point. The man was absolutely gutted after getting relegated and I mean gutted. He will honour his contract, he will be there on Cup Final Day, he will wear the red and black, then his contract is up and he will leave. It happens, its football. He is not obliged to stay here and tell us things he thinks we want to hear. He is an honest man and I for one admire that about him

tbh I havre jumped the gun on this too. we arent in section o to get recongniton but to get behind the team. anything else is a bit of a bonus. the squad and mgt have always being appreciative of our support!

I apologise for what I said it was like a rag to a bull. still stand by the last comment of mine though...

[deecay]

by the way bosco on the way in I noticed that there was certain power tripping English steward who went totally OTT with a younger fan over a horn.
2 members of the SRIWFC had a run in with him against Bray,told us never to return:eek:

[RonnieB]

He is a tosser as I think I already stated before here. The way he carries on is unreal sometimes. Taking flags off some young lads etc...

[Longfordian]

He is a bit of a mentalist but he does a good lot of work around the place for nothing, not just stewarding. I'm not condoning his heavy handedness at all and I have seen him in action but he's not all bad. He's just a steward at the end of the day, he has no right to tell anyone they can or can't come back so pay no heed to him would be my advice.

[deecay]

so pay no heed to him would be my advice.
We hadnt planned on:)
