I think the curse of Rico is about to strike soon!Rico doesnt do championships
If Shels win there two games in hand and beat Cork the smell
of **** coming from Rico will be wafting all the way to Dublin!
Am i the only on that thinks Cork will bottle it?
cant wait to laugh at this thread shortly
.....but if he did, they'd probably be the best championships in the world.Quote:

On the contrary, Roddy doesn't. He jumps ship before it happens. :DQuote:

After losing so many players the Rovers team doesn't strike fear into any side now:
Shamrock Rovers: Murphy, Sweetman, Shelly, McDonnell, Doyle, O’Connor (Roche, 50), Kenny, McDonagh, Rutherford, Manley (Sheridan, 59), Molloy.
To be fair, with Murphy in goal you're always gonna have a chance! :)
I'm hoping the orignal post reigns supreme, but I'm not gonna tempt fate with it!
eh, we lost 3!Quote:

and we were always cocky.
I thought you lost Gough, Gavin, Mooney, McCourt from a thin enough squad already.
To be honest, I don't think that there is any possibility of Rovers going down. I would love to see it happening, but it won't.
As for Rico, he may well feel the pressure. I think one of two things will happen to Shelbourne, they will either fall apart or laucnh a spectacular run of form. I don't see any in-between for them. If it is the latter, then Cork will feel the pressure, and the league is never won at Christmas (or in Summer Soccer terms July!).
forgot gough, easily done.... not a footballing loss, beach will more than compensate in set pieces.Quote:

the team has a better balance now believe it or not.
Yez should have Molloy suspended, what with him trying to play volleyball the other night and all.
Yes probably. Cork will win it. They are the best side by far this season. Shels will rally - may finish 2nd. Rovers will escape relegation and the playoffs too.Quote:

tiredness (some of players looked exhausted the other night) especially for the big games around our European travels,
and our current drop in form,
may be costly.
Derry are looking extremely good at this point in time, I'd be worried that they could just get the better of us.
Big pub are out of contention, I think, after Saturday night, so only 3 teams realistically left in it.
If we suffer a collapse in form, we could be looking at third...:(
If Shels and Derry both beat Cork it will be very very difficult to call. Those are the two biggest games of the season so far.
I've a feeling it'll goto the last day and Cork will win, karma for Rico.
NO, NO, NO!Quote:

Squeaky bum time is near and Ricos is squeaking loudest already!
Why don't you worry about your own club cop on? I've always had great time for Longford, but the pathetic attitude of some Longford fans and the utter lack of ambition your club shows is getting really boring at this stage. Grow up or just go away
How do you know what the club's ambitions are? Just 'cos they're not being spouted in media columns doesn't mean there's no ambitions. We've made progress year on year, we want to keep progressing that's ambitious enough for me. We're only up a short while in relative terms, yet we're right in the hunt for third place, which would be a new high in the league for us.Still in both cups. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that jazz, we can't be going around saying we're going to win the league this year when we know we're not. I'm happy with how things are going. Not forgetting we've managed to find almost €2m for a ground in four years with very little government assistance.Quote:

I'm being realistic, we weren't going to win the league this year, nobody thought so. Of course we hoped we could win it but we felt we'd be happy with third or fourth. That doesn't mean we'll never be able to go for the league but I never thought we could this year. Come on now, surely you didn't think so either? A part time team hasn't won the league for a long time. It catches up with you at some point. If I'd said on here at the start of the season we're going to win the league you'd have laughed.The club is ambitious but it knows its limitations too. As I said we're progressing all the time and hopefully we can challenge in the future but not yet. Again, realism.
yes i probably would have laughed but what should that matter to you?i dont base my view of city on what other people expect of the team,i know that there the best team in the country at the moment and are gona win the league,its not being unrealistic as they proved already this season,id hate to support a club where the fans expect to finish 3rd or 4th after winning 2 fai cups in a row,if that happened at city there'd be uproar
This is a funny thread...we are being slagged by a Homeless supporter.. :D ..i mean in all fairness we might have taken you serious around 15 years ago.. ;)
And to the Longford fan...you are ONLY a Longford fan you poor thing... :D

If someone has a valid point to make then that's fair enough but when someone like you repeats the same drivil over and over it's a clear that you've nothing to much to say.Quote:

The point is it's a great achievement to have won the trophies we have won. Not one of our fans expected us to win the league. We just don't have the resources at the moment. City do and that's why they should win the league and should be expecting to win the league or challenge every year. I'm not saying we'll never challenge but not this year. Realism over blind optimism. It's realistic for Shels and City to expect to win or challenge strongly, and if I were a Drogheda fan I'd be a bit miffed at how things are going give etheir outlay this year. I'm happy enough that we're making progress again this year, we're 11 points better off than we were this time last year and still in both cups. If we keep progressing I would like to think we will challenge for the title in the future but not yet.Quote:

We're expected to compete on all fronts.
Last year, our tremendous run in Europe meant a fixture backlog which resulted in a poor run of form, domestically.
This year we're challenging for the UEFA Cup, FAI Cup and eircom Premier League. We lose our second game of the season and you boys are on here pretending to have some knowledge of what we're going through and trying to create jibes about us failing somehow.
Know your place!
Tiktok, it's not a rant, it's an obsessed fantasy which is all consuming for our little admirer down in his boghole.Quote:
