I wouldn't go so far as to call it a shame and indictment on our league. I think Mourinho just ranted about Celtic after winning the UEFA Cup with Porto, there was Kevin Keegan's famous rant and there's Mike Newell's sexist rant the other week. It does happen all over the place. There's a reason why there's a lot of stuff said against Shelbourne and most of it is down to their behaviour and conduct so I think it's silly to say they're somehow entitled to their rant.
He gave a lot more calm and measured interview to TV 3 after the presentation of trophies. Making many of the same points but in a cool calm and collected manner, and in fact more effectively I think, having had the chance to reflect a little and possibly even finally enjoy the title triumph.
Bad losers are hard to take, but people who are so caught up with things that went wrong that they cannot enjoy success when they finally get it, is just the flip side of everything they were moaning about in the first place.
It's as if the success cannot replace the chip they have on the shoulder about their " treatment" on the road to glory.
was in the flansiro last nite loseing fingers to the cold so obviously i didnt see the rant and we've no sound at work to watch it on you tube but i can tell you this; stuey byrne is a top man, a good pro and a quality footballer and if you'd had to put up with what he and the other shels players have had to youd need to let off some steam aswell. some of the cork fans on here condeming him would do better than to look at the professionalism of some of the players who were in their league winning team, ala kearney and o'callaghan
lets not forget the players are innocent in this whole mess that is shels; they've been nothing but professional all year and have had to put up with non payment of wages, being called cheats and possible loseing their jobs. its not their foult that ollie has got shels into the mess their in.
some people in longford have not forgot the way stephen kenny left us to go to bohs - mid season and relegation threatened, and frankly he's done the same to derry so lets not put him on a big pedastil, call him untouchable and condemm anyone who says a word about him. stuey played in that longford team under kenny aswell, lets not forget that. by all means it was ill timed, and probable a bit jibberish, but just maybe he's earned that right, he has after all been one of the best players in this league over the past few years and a fantastic example of how to play the game with guts and determination. if roy keane were to make that kind of outburst, we would all be applauding his tanacity and will to win.
I think he was referring to the fact that they got 3 more points than Derry did against Dublin City.Quote:

As for a Dublin City fan posting about rats leaving a sinking ship you have to be saying that tongue in cheek! :D

Wow that was crazy!! Don't think the studio knew what to make of that especially Roddy, observant as always : "eh......i tink he was a bit angry"
:D
Slightly ironic abuse from Byrne to Kenny, given that it was Kenny that saved his career by bringing him to Longford and allwoing him to develop into the player he is. Without that Byrne would not be at Shels let alone winning medals as his career had stalled. Thats gratitude fro you I guess.
Have yis thought why he said what he said??? All I can say is, well said, everything said about that príck Kenny is true, wait till you know the facts before spouting on about his character!
FORZA SHELS! CHAMPIONS 2006!!!
Given the manner the league have given fines out to Managers this season Byrne has to be sanctioned. If (I suppose i should say when) he isn't brought up on charges for that outburst will onlt further confirm the bias towards Shels by the eL.
I could excuse Byrne if he was a kid but he is very experienced pro & should know better.
:(
So Kenny is a ***** then? So wot is Ollie Byrne? Did you see Kenny dragging the league through the ****e by threatening court? NO!! Did you see Kenny giving a two finger salute to opposition fans? NO!! The fact is not one Shels fan can sit and give off about any club when they're own are in a mess they are in. Can't even pay your own player. All i will say is enjoy your sucess because it will be the last time in a while before you have success again!!Quote:

Stuart Byrne should be ashamed of himself and should apologise to Stephen. How ironic that it was Stephen who helped enhance his career at Longford.
Congratulations to Shels on winning (except to Ollie and his lovechildren Stuart and the skooligans)
Ah, so you can say what you like, provided its not live on TV??Quote:

Worse example of this is Rovers getting fned €5k for two pitch invasions in Athlone while Shels getting nothing for their two in Richmond. I'm not saying they should be fined but where's the consistencyQuote:

I've thought about it and still can't understand why he said what he did. It was unprofessional, vitriolic, and a blatant personal attack that, quite simply, was uncalled for.Quote:

Last nights pathetic exercise in self-humiliation comes after the same player made inflammatory gestures in celebrating a last minute goal against Derry in front of the travelling fans earlier this season.
One things certain, if Shels haven't gone the way of Dublin City by next season (and we live in hope), Stuart will get a fairly lively reception from the Derry fans.
But really, what else should we expect from the representatives of Ireland's most unlikeable club?
Roddy Collins= legend
What was it that Stephen Kenny said that was so terrible anyway ? That Shels shouldn't get the points or a replay of the Bohs game, is that all ? So fukking what ? What did the poor Shels babies expect him to say ? Byrnes rant was pathetic, and I've certainly lost any respect I had for him. He's a top player, but a complete tool. And as for "We won the league by 3 points" Hah. Bollcocks. Shelbourne DID NOT LOSE ANY POINTS as a result of the Dublin City situation. Do you get it Stuart ? Everyones games against DC were wiped out, nobody lost, nobody gained. The fact that Derry lost against them is irrelevant.
You've brought it on yourself! The attitude and behaviour of your club in the media and in el grounds around the country is nothing short of shocking.Quote:

Enjoy your pyrrhic victory Olly. Keep going the way you are and Shels will be just the latest Tolka-based club to go out of senior existence (Drumcondra, Home Farm, Dublin City...)
Yeah - Kenny really fecked Derry over. We're all gutted with the way he took us from relegation candidates to 2nd place 2 years in a row, won us the League Cup twice, got us to an FAI Cup Semi and a Final, delivered the best set of European performances/results form an Irish team EVER, delivered a substantial increase in crowds and managed to inject massive pride and self-belief back into the entire city.Quote:

Gutted. And I thought we owned him like a dog..... :rolleyes:
Seems all the vitriol iscoming from Derry and Bohs fans?????????
Jaysus Pete - you could write a poem about it !
Well he didn't have a go at anyone else...Quote:

It was Ollie who treated his players abysmally, why didn't Byrne have a go at him?Quote:

I have posted on almost all the other web sites but i along with others have found ourselves banned from the Shels site this last week.
Then again i guess the site is a bit like the club it's self.
We don't listen to anyone else, we are a law onto ourself.
We have different rules from everyone else.
And like Byrne we have no balls.
100% behind Stuey comments. The whole Shels team kept their mouths shut over the last 3 months when Kenny was crying after every Derry game during his interviews. The **** Kenny came out with ove "winning it on the pitch" is what makes Kenny a tosser.
Its double standards because as you all know Derry gained 3 points OFF the pitch.
If Kenny had of went about his business the same way the Shels players and Pat Fenlon did then there would have been no rant.
Kenny came across as an idiot these past few months and I think Stuey waiting until the league was over to speak his mind was fair enough. I only wish more people would speak out against the cray Kenny was talking.
Then there the whole ringing Bohs players rumour.
The Shels players have been called cheaters right through the season, can you tell me one player off the shels team who gave out in an after match interview or asked for a replay or moaned about the Dublin City points or spoke out on the Hargan points? I doubt you can.... Kenny was the one doing the talking over the last few months and Shels and Stuey deserve to have a go at him.
100% behind what Stuey said and I for one am glad to see the back of Stephen Kenny.
You obviously missed Fenlon's Newstalk rant 2 weeks ago.Quote:

Why don't you look within your own club before you comment on others.

Of course you are, especially when you count the number of times his team beat you over the last couple of seasons.
