No :eek:
I want them to win for the league's sake, but I also want them to lose so they don't get any money and heopefully go bust coz they've spent a fortune getting the likes of Baker, Crowe, Ryan, etc and canny affod to pay them! :)
Also just to sicken Ollie Byrne, the hateful wee ball of sh!te.
I'll be pleased if they win, pishing myself laughing if they lose.
Hope they lose badly sorry the whole league doing well thing isnt for me, kinda dont like anyone else really.

I voted No although i suppose i would find it hard to cheer against Shel$.
Almost no chance of me going to Tolka as neutral. However i did go to Deportivo last year to see them live.
My opinions towards shels (particularily Oily) have hardened in the last year.
Yes - they're Irish. Simple as that. Was at the Reykjavik and Split games last year. Will hopefully get to their game(s) this year too.
good spirit shown here, thats what it is all about,we need to compete regularly in the group stages of Europe, I will always support any team in Europe.
To be honest I will support Cork in Europe (despite what people down their think, nobody hates them) and Longford to a lesser extent (despite it being the most unwelcoming of places to Dubliners) but I will not cheer for Shelbourne because of their staff. I have nothing against their fans, all the Shels fans I know are sound lads, but I can not stand Ollie Byrne or Pat Fenlon.
i suppose ill have to support them, theyre irish after all... :o
I'd support any Irish club in Europe, north or south. The leagues' major problem is poor image. Consistent good performances in Europe, from a variety of clubs will slowly but surely eat away the myth that Irish club football is no good.
It could be you got a problem then, Glentoran vs Shelbourne is a possible tie :)Quote:

and so is Longford v Linfield/Portadown ;)Quote:

How can anybody despise Shels for 50 weeks of the year and want them to win in Europe? :rolleyes: Personally I hope they get stuffed in the first round and lose a fortune on the trip too.
Hope Cork and Bohs get hammered too. Don't really mind Longford.
thanks :)Quote:

So I guess I'd like them to get thru one or two rounds, but just not make much money out of it- I certainly don't want them getting into the group stages. But in a straight yes/no vote, I'd have to say no. I don't wish them any ill, but I could never stomach cheering them onQuote:

Europe is our only chance to demonstrate our progress as a league on a bigger scale. No matter if its Shels or Rovers or Derry or Cork, if one of us gets a hammering in the league, we all get the bad publicty. Personally I think its brilliant to see other league fans at the games and no matter what one man said who's opinion few of you listen to, every club is grateful for the extra support. We at Shles clearly don't have large numbers supporting regularly so in Europe we do need other clubs fans to fill Tolka. I hope the actions of one man will not totally destroy your wish to get behind the team....
Good luck to Bohs tomorrow night...I assume its not on the box anywhere?
