5. The potential
Hate::(
1. Devine's distribution
2. Playing the ball long despite the players we have
3. The fact that it's been only 2 trophies in ten years
4. No official outlet for news, everything through the rumour mill
5. The fans are too fickle, e.g. mustachio

Love:
1. Liam Coyle.
2. The atmosphere.
3. Being better than Harps, always.
4. Playing in the eL.
5. The tea & Dairy Milk at half time.
Hate:
1. The fact that the council own the Brandy and refuse to give us a long term lease or redevelop it.
2. The distances between us and other clubs.
3. Sitting in the New Stand staring at the empty Jungle.
4. Sitting in the New Stand with the sun setting right in front ye and blinding ye the whole match.
5. The prices into games (cheaper than most clubs, but still dear).
love
1. The Shed
2. Wes Charles
3. The way we always churn out v. good players (Byrne, Doyle, Zayed etc...)
4. Close knit fan base
5. Very open club
hate / dislike
1. Our home new gear - bring back our stripes
2. Or defending at times - so frustating !
3. The cold in the Carlisle Grounds @ times
4. That we are in the 1st Division
Love
- No trouble element - always have a laugh at Belfield (unless when Doolo's there, unless he's managing Dwogheda :D )
- Free bar on the last day of the season :D
- Decent football
- Having the money (through programme and fanzine) to make a difference
- The relaxed feeling which goes with being underdogs, and the delight when we win a Dublin derby!
Dislike
- Bugger all fans
- Well-meaning but disorganised committee (e.g. website, no fans, etc.)
- Trying for 20 years to persuade students to go to games at the neglect of the local community
- Not having the money to have been able to afford to sack Doolo before he'd done the damage
- Top players leaving too often
Soon to be a Saint meself.Stadium of Sh*te here we come!Quote:

Likes:
1. Tolka Park - great ground
2. Eoin Heary's Crunching Tackles
3. Wes Houlihan, and the way he might look at you.
4. Jason Byrne coming powering in to meet a pinpoint cross from OllieCahill.
5. Ollie Byrne - much misunderstood man. Has kept Shels afloat virtually single-handedly.
Dislikes:
1. Small crowd on non-Dublin derby days.
2. I'd prefer the New Stand to be on the Riverside, if you know what I mean.
3. Willo not coming for crosses.
4. Short bleedin' corners.
5. Conceding many more penalties than we're awarded.
Love's
1/ being able to say you've supported the club all the club's life rather then saying you've supported the club all your life.
2/ Not having a hated rival so that you don't alway's have to be judged on other team's succeses.
3/ Having no multi millionare players with big ego's, flash car's, cash grabbing agent's, dozzy so called celebrity wive's. Just eleven player's going out and playing another eleven player's in the way that god intended the game to be played.
4/ Being able to walk around London in me County shirt and get people coming up to me asking thing's like ''is dat a Valencia shirt your wearing maate''.
5/ Playing Summer football full stop.
Dislike's
1/ Having to do most of my supporting by listening to rte sport's report's on radio, the internet or by reading about County in a couple of line's in the paper.
2/ Spending most of last season in the top four only to fall into fifth place @ the last couple of game's, blowing a huge lead we had on Limerrick and blowing getting into the play off's.
3/ Losing some of our best player's to Dublin City, Ben Whelahan will be hugely missed @ the heart of the defence.
4/ The dj, any game i've been to all I've heard is Meatloaf and garbage like that played over the tannoy.
5/ Not having more people in the county coming out and supporting the team, it's a new club that deserve's a hell of a lot more support then what it's getting.
