As Shelbourne's chairman has resigned & they are releasing a statment this eveing it would it appear the club will be no more. I think it only appropriate that all remaing clubs acknowledge this event for the first game of the season. (Obviously Kildare wont be able )
I feel a minutes silence or perhaps like in Italy one minutes clapping to mark their demise ?
How about at 7:45 on March 9th, every supporter at a LOI game shouts "Told you so!"
or perhaps more appropriately Champagne and party poppers for all !!!!
The old saying reap what you sow never rang more true.
the amount of people sucking on lemons here is disgraceful, like it couldnt happen to any other club in the country

I wouldn't get too far ahead of myself if I were you...
I was just going to say the same thing aswell.Quote:

This is a great League. The Champons are relegated. The promotion play-off winners are not promoted. The losers are. And of course, another club, who didn't make the play-off's, are duly promoted.:D
What next? Soccer on Croker?
.
I thought we were amalgamating all the "lets all laugh at Shels" threads?
I'll merge them all if you spare us another poemQuote:

They love their club and I'm sure they are disgraced with the way Ollie etc ran it and the state they have left it in.It is not their fault some g*b****e ran their club into the ground in a effort to make a name for himself.
In the late 90's the Finn Harps board of the time almost ran the club I love out of existance amounting huge debts of several hundred thousand in the process and most of the fans knew little or nothing about this at the time. It only the hard work of dedicated fans working in their free time that saved the club and has seen up climb back up the ladder to a brigher future.
Blame Ollie and his Cronies.
Blame the FAI.
But leave Shels and their fans alone.
Correct. Why do Shels fans - instead of actually doing something about their club - just sit around moaning and maintaining that it could have happened to any other club??? Why do they think that everyone is as THICK as Ollie Byrne? Rovers is one of the best-run clubs in the country. Shels was/is a joke. Notice the difference???Quote:

Also Ollie had a full board behind him (including Flood and Browne) for the majority of their overspending days.
In no way can they claim to be innocent victims
Shels situation isn't as simple as Rovers. There is a football ground to the value of millions of euros involved but sure we'll raise enough money in the next few days,Give OK back what he's owed and a bit more for his trouble and tell him to be on his way :rolleyes:
