Matthews calls for summer soccer to go as Longford show another lack of ambition

Precisely........and that it is a bit dodgy for the eL and Ireland to be represented in European Competition by a club that won just four games to get there!

Be that as it may, that's football for you, minnows sometimes cause upsets ( the romance of the cup and all that ) but are always found out in the end.

Your twisting things to suit your point of view.

:mad:

Anyway I'm sure there are plenty of Longford fans out there who are able to defend themselves without me adding anything.

So what would you suggest,the top 4 qualify for europe instead?In which case us minnows would only have been one place off it last season and may have pushed further if we'd had something to play for and this season we would be on course for qualifying again
