Have a decent ground for a few years and you think you can call other clubs places a kip. Not long ago Shams didn't even have a ground. Chill out, ye drew and you decide to give out that the ground is a kip and blaming the pitch and ref :rolleyes: .... just get on with it I say.

Please accept our sincere apologies if we upset you, or Mr O'Neill or any of your excellent footballers today.

We really appreciate the fact the aristocratics of the Airtricity League allowed our players to share the same pitch today, and remain bowled over by the graciousness and modesty of all attached to the Great and Mighty Rovers.

We promise that we will keep our heads bowed low when we visit the Cathedral of Footballing Excellence in a couple of weeks time.

Id love to see Dan Murray trying to pass,run and tackle on Dundalks pitch. Easily the worst professional footballer ive ever seen play LOI football

Read on the Shams forum their fans weren't happy with Dundalk's bin facilities. :struggle:

He's won the odd title in his career. Must be the most decorated con artist in the history of Irish football in that case.

Is this to way to build the game up in Drogheda though ?? Living on the bones of others.
If yee have no plan for your future other than"ahh sure we will be grand" and "sure isnt the play off great" then move over and give other,more forward looking sides a chance. Yee are running down the name off Drogheda United for the sake of a few of you that are still involved with the club.

Interesting reading Shams fans having a pop at other clubs about grounds and supporter numbers. Considering they are still homeless, averaged a few hundred supporters when in Tolka, and up til only around 4/5 years ago played in the lower leagues of Irish football it's quite hillarious tbh.

Pfft. I give you - Victor Ekanem. Brutal last night. Three wins on the trot for us, and Derry after shooting themselves in the foot ahead of Friday. :)

You're not, but not far off - he is now on 67 league goals, seven behind Ski's record of 74

I can only asume your fans are saving up for their Big Day Out in Tallaght in a few weeks time as there was sweet FA there today.

Bar the decision at the end not to give us a peno I wouldn't be letting anything Dundalk did/didn't do bother me if I was you. If Dundalk fans are happy that their manager seems to only be concerned at their results v us compared to other sides and celebrates a draw with us at home like a win then that's their business and not ours I say. Each to their own.

rovers thought that for a while last year - missed him when he was out injured though - immense against Juventus as well I believe?

Dans a strange guy, took him a while to settle with us and again with rovers, didn't do well on trial with Leeds but once he settles hes one of the best defenders in Ireland, and is dadly from corners.

One of the very best players in the league IMO

Don't know how Murray has won so much and how he gets away with it.

Aye, we were all confused by that ourselves? It was just one fella singing it apparently. Bizarre stuff, though no more bizarre than the match itself. Can't ever remember a game like it. Our match against Bohs on Friday was a far more bad tempered game.

Did you see your fans, players and manager after getting a draw against us?

Swear you won the Champions League....Each to their own though

Damn right we celebrated as we were without Maher, Bolger, Bennett, Gutherie and Osbourne all are first choices and have been injured for 6 weeks now, and some will be out longer.

These 5 would be a huge gap for most other PD sides to fill, so a point was def a good result.

Winning things doesnt make you a good player .....Brazillian defender Rocque Junior won a Champs League and a World Cup and was easily one of the worst players ive ever seen.

It's hardly an attack on the Limerick squad to suggest they're not all better than World Cup winner Rocque Junior.

I noticed a few years back that he unable to do anything apart from let a long ball land on his head. He cant run,pass or tackle

It's pretty true though in fairness. I recall a fight against relegation in 2004, first division soon after, no home for a long time, small enough support for a long time, and a lovely bunch of Rovers fans in Finn Park a few years ago roaring abuse when they were 4-1 down about how we 'have no history'. Confusing.

first 30 seconds of that video.

the guy is a quality footballer and anyone who thinks differently hasnt been watching him week in week out. I'm sure the Rovers fans agree, and if not we'll gladly take him back

Dan Murray can only do two things: let long balls land on his head and win professional football trophies.
