A few points; 1) Dundalk's european run was better (getting by 2 rounds and losing 3-2 to celtic (after 0-0 draw)) than either Shels or Linfields. 2) Byrne's rant was hilarious 3) I hope Ollie follows through with his threat regarding the Hargan case and possibly the Dublin City point thing too. Farcical decisions.
But Dundalk were lucky to get past us and only did so because we had to play our home game in Holland. :DQuote:

Getting back to the point of this thread, I make no apologies for describing Stuart Byrne in those terms (some people on this board have a lot worse as their signatures).
He is a hypocrite of the highest order considering what Shels have got up to in the past.
Of course it does. :rolleyes:Quote:

General basis of that malone article was that there was now nobody to keep Ollie in check...
Maybee you'd wonder why UEFA laid 100% blame on Linfield fc. and ordered the 2nd leg to be played in Holland. The first leg saw the most poisonous violent actions ever witnessed by a set of so called club supporters in the south. Landsdowne rd. riot times 50.Quote:

I thought the Shels Bohs game was very poor, the interview certainly grabbed my attention though it was dosed in vinegar.
Name your price. £50 ? £100 ?Quote:

Given the political climate at the time the outcome was inevitable. I may be wrong but I think this game was played in the wake of the murder of Lord Mountbatten and the massacre of 18 British soldiers at Warrenpoint. Dundalk I would say got off very lightly indeed from that shameful night.Quote:

Thank God you said £50....! :DQuote:

Yees wil probably win the bloody thing now anyway, but at least it'll give me some excitement now that the EL season is over for another year... :D
Just forward it to Linfield FC and I will inform the Trasurer of the impending arrival of your cheque. And yes I will keep my word. :DQuote:

We thought we were going to have to go to mainland Europe until Wrexham stepped in and gave us use of their ground. Is that punishment in line with what happens to other teams in Europe. Ffs look what the Turks have done over the years and their punishment was being awarded the CL final. Those trips to Wrexham were two of the best European away trips I have been on though. :DQuote:

Seriously CTID, where do you find the time for this? Having said that it is funny and typical Shels. My favourite football program, its around here somewhere, is Shels V Bohs April 2001 where the columnist predicted that Roddy would be drafting his capitulation speech after the game. Bohs went on to win the game and the double.
Was this bet ever claimed I wonder?:DQuote:

If you know who you are, give it to the charity of your choice. (Not yourself or Sligo Rovers FC)Quote:

O is for over then. Clearly. Maybe
Now Kenny is back in the League, I wonder is Stuart considering a move to Engerland :rolleyes:
Wonder how the two will get on when they encounter one another next season...
