Bray try to, Pats try to, Bohs definitely do, Drogs do (not always admittedly), Harps try to. What irritates me is the fact that LTFC are (by virtue of the excellent players they have) capable of playing a lot better than they do, but they just don't do it.
Bull****!Didnt want to get dragged into another one of these pointless debates but i have to make a point.You and the other LTFC cork experts see Longford play 4 times a year.There have been plenty of times when we have played good football.2 seasons ago(remember when you werent giving out about our style of football)ye were beating us 2-0 everytime we met.Did it every cross your mind that we have learned our lesson and tightened up when playing ye.Ye are a tecniquely better team,9/10 if we try and compete with ye on the ground,ye'll win.A few weeks ago we went up to derry and tried to play it on the ground and we got whopped.Why is it that ye are so concerned about how we play against ye.Ye've got a huge game in 2 days,ye are challenging for the league and the cup but ye all seem abit to upset that we have found away to get points of ye.If we hoofed the ball for 90 mins in our games against ye but still lost 2 or 3 nil would ye still complain,somehow i doubht it! :rolleyes:Quote:

Don't bother, they don't do reason in Cork since they started genuinely challenging for the title.Quote:

the other striker you are on about, is that francis ??? if so how many has he scored since he went to kildare ??
Yeah, but that didn't stop him for drogs. Just something about us being destined never to have a decent goalscorer... :(Quote:

One of Matthews few mistakes imo (others keeping Lavine for so long, the Liam Kelly loan signing and now Shay Kelly's signing)
[QUOTE=max power]macy, myler is a top player but he has lost paceQUOTE]
Did he ever have any :eek:
Myler very rarely needed to use his 'pace' for us

I presume Max if these surprising signings you mention are to happen, there has to be a serious clean out of existing strikers as the finances of the club are fairly stretched from what I can gather. What players are for the high road? Dessie Baker and Andy Myler would top my list. What is the story with Shane Barrett?
Tallented my friend ive been there done that worn the t-shirt.But It seems if you dont agree with these bunch of unknowledgable and ambitionless god$hites you are wasting your time.
Sonic, what do we do as a club to get to the stage where we can challenge for a league title? Do we have the players at the moment? If we don't have the players who should we sign? If we do have the players whats the problem? Do we have to go full time to seriously threaten for a title?
They certainly have tried to play football against us more than a lot of other teams. I never said that they were any good, just that they tried
So basically your saying that Bray are a sh!t team who at least try to play football and Longford are a sh!t team who couldn't even be arsed trying!Quote:

I wish you were a town fan you might talk sum sense into these losers!!!
And have they got results against ye??I can see why it would be better to beat a team who TRY to play it on the ground then draw with a team who dont!Quote:

Thats also true. I fully accept that teams find it more effective to play the way ye have against us and thus increase the chances of getting a result. Thats fair enough, its up to us, as the "better" team to get over it and win the game. I haven never disputed that.Quote:
