Always amuses me the obvious inferiority complex Sligo Rovers fans have when it comes to the name "Rovers"Quote:

Us Shamrock Rovers fans don't care either way what a few culchies in a small corner of the western seaboard call themselves, we just laugh at them because we know what the reality is and so does the rest of the country.
Cork City are City.Quote:

Where did any of us say that? You've conveniently left out Rice and Maguire I see. One thing's for certain, wherever we finish it'll be ahead of the Sligs.Quote:

By the way, the reality is that the only people that refer to Sligo as Rovers is Sligo fans.
No, I mean Shamrocks are.Quote:

It is a good idea and should also generate some goodwill.
KOH
Speaking of goodwill, I hear all Bohs fans serving bans are to be allowed back into Dalyer if they pay £100. Any Bohs fan know if this is true. I really hope it's not.Quote:

If you want to know about what's happening at a different Club or have childish arguments about Club nicknames then start a new thread or, better still, post it in their own forum. Nice 1.
Do you believe they should be allowed return without paying the €100, I dunno....maybe.Quote:

Mind the time that Shamrock Rovers were fined heavily for the rascist chanting by their fans during the last league game of the season at Belfield Park in 2005.

Just pretend you were responsible for putting them in hospital in the first place and it'll all be okay.Quote:
