I know everyone wants to see eircom league sides do well in Europe this season but is it wrong of me to want $hels(and just $hels)to get hammered by hadjuk split(is that the name?).I despise that club.Owen Heary,Pat Fenlon,Jim Crawford,Jason Byrne and that wonker Ollie Byrne...10-0 wouldnt be enough... :mad:
Best of luck to Bohs and Longford... ;)
Nothing impure at all there RedX. I was loathe to see Shels go thru by the skin if their teeth against a poor Reyjavik.
I personally couldnt care less how the others get on. Maybe Id like to see Lford do well, but the others...meh.
We're in this together
you're havin a laugh
:rolleyes:
I hope Shels, Bohs and Longford all go through, and genuinely wish them the very best of luck.
Wtih Shels though, I'll admit it's more about the UEFA coefficient, In the end the more the clubs win, the better our draw will be in Europe in years to come. Also, a good showing against Split will do more for the league in terms of national exposure.
A few people have expressed concern about Shels doing a Rosenborg and run away with the league for years to come what with the money TV and extra revenue associated with Europe will bring in. It's a risk, though I'm not overly concerned for now.

i hope its two season for dolan and no trophies for city.... i really do. ;)
I hope Bohs and I suppose Longford aswell go through as I have no real reason to dislike either club and it is good for the league as a whole.
However, I despise Shelbourne and would take great pleasure in seeing Ollie Byrne's thugs humiliated.
The biggest thing we need to remember here is that no matter what any of the other Irish clubs achieve in Europe this year it will be unlikely to be as great as what the City have done. They won't beat a top Swedish or Dutch team or narrowly lose out to a top French team. They won't be the UEFA team of the week. The won't bring huge numbers of fans abroad like the Rebel Army did. I could go on and on but you get my drift.
Now, now. Its not a case of we don't give a toss about how other teams do in Europe, this is an anti Shels thing. I really and truly hope Bohs and Longford do well and lift the EL coefficient. I'd love it if the made all the way to the UEFA cup final. But Shels?? Ugh!! I really hope they fall on there ass'. I won't go into the many reasons why I loathe them, but there are lots.Quote:

The only way I'd like to see them progress is if it meant they lost points in the League. But I can imagine them not letting a situation like the Drogs game happen again, and I tell you now that Shels won't play another league game until they're out of Europe. You heard it here first. ;)
shouldn't be too long 'til they're playing in the league again so :) :) :)
we are irish and we support irish.unless we brain dead :(
I think its terrible that people are wishing shels bad luck.I hope they win tonight and win well,cork city got alot of support from other loi supporters juring our european games and i think we should do the same.Pat Fenlon rang cork city fc before the games to wishe the club well.Come on shels put irish soccer on the map even more this season
totally right. if you want to see LOI grounds packed including the cross you should be praying for shels to win.Quote:

C'mon shels! If shels win through against hajduk and city win the league for instance we would be seeded next season in europe if shels lose we wont be.
So you should support shels for just personal reasons anyway.
im supporting shels for the league because unlike many city fans i have a long memory. i remember the really bad times for city and the league.
but my point about gary was the "maybe longford too" comment, shows he doesn't want to see el teams do well at all.....
I have to agree with that. Looking at the $h£l$ MB, most of their fans were wishing us well.Quote:

Pretty much how I feel, I hope Shels go through for the league's co-efficient and general perceived quality but I wouldn't lose to much sleep about them going out.Quote:

If they hear of other teams doing well they'll begin to hold the league in higher regard. This is building on the performances of Bohs last year. I know many people who went along and were really impressed by the way Bohs played against Rosenborg. Sadly I think Longford are still a team where a moral victory is the most they can hope for.
It's difficult for a regional team like that to compete at the next level.
I resurected a thread recently about numbers on foot.ie and the amount of non-cork city fans on the forum. But, if people want to see more fans from other LOI clubs on here then a subject like this should be posted under the "general" forum and not "cork city". What does it have to do with city?
Shels thuggery is one of the worst things about this league. The really bad thing is that they always had pretty good players but chose to play 'meaty' football. When this wins leagues its bad for the game here. Yes the European co-efficent is important but promoting good, skillfull play at home is more important. hen they mend their ways I'll give them my support...
As for Bohs and Longford, the best of luck.
Have to admit I did the same, along with another UCD fan I went to the game with.Quote:
