No to me the likes of Longford would be 'cup specialists'; it has to be in recent memory, and more than once within say the last 3-5 year period, and generally a 'cup specialist' is that because they have **** all chance of winning anything else!Quote:

I hate having to think up article headlines. I am resorting to the teams and the score now to save people the cruelty of having to read anothr epun filled headline.

new ownership never means a break from your past. unless you are rocky seery.

This cup specalists tag really irritates some of you! It is a cliche, as witnessed by the amount of times its been used in the press recently, but there is something else going on with some posters here.
I dont understand the objection (apart from the cliche value). We have won it 24 times appearing in 31 finals in the 70 odd years of the competition. Thats an impressive statistic by any measure and entitles us to the name. Whats the gripe?
Because Longford are the holders after retaining the thing, and fair play. But they are 22 short of the record.
Is it simple jealousy of our success?
The MOST RIDICULOUS Irish football cliché : Anything with "Longford" and "Football" in the same sentance about a non-GAA/Rugby game.Quote:

(yes Longford are now going well in league, I know) Cup specialists tend to do well in cups but badly in the league (as a generalisation)Quote:

Fair enough, I'd define it as the team currently most successful, ie, over the last few years. Would also exclude teams that are regularly challenging for league honours. e.g. I wouldn't call Arsenal cup specialists though they've been in most of the finals of recent years.Quote:

Yer man on Today FM was at it again today... Longford apparently "taught a lesson by UCD" :rolleyes:
Here's a tired cliché in eL circles. "UCD offer nothing to the league". :rolleyes:
yes.Quote:
