    True. although I'd classify that as more of a Longford visit. Unless they want to make a regular occasion of watching UCD-Longford half-time games.

    Hopefully turns out to be just what are midfield is missing at the moment.

    Thanks Alan for six great seasons and the memories, notably the Cup Final goal against the Blahs. Our best player these last few seasons, its inevitable he'd be a wanted man. Best of luck with Pat's Kirbs, you'll be missed. who's next then... ????

    And leaving a sinking ship behind. The players leaving means that it doesnt matter who is the mngr next yr itl be relegation battle all the way. He wouldnt go when we want him to go and then when hes needed the most he decides to jump ship. COWARD!

    FFS, make up your mind. The situation would be the same regardless of who the manager is. After that statement Sonic, I expect not a peep of the Matthews Out stuff next season if he stays. And I thought the solution to all our problems was Matthews going - Talk about damned if does, damned if he doesn't.
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Are you going to be next season's Waterford? Are you actually in debt or are you just predicting that you can't carry on paying the same wages anymore? How the heck did you pay €10k for Robbie Martin?

    I sure as hell hope not. If Mathews goes, will the Polish guys he's been thinking of signing still sign for us?

    It's about looking harder for value for money players. We have a bit of debt alright and paying over-inflated wages isnt going to help clear any of it plus you have to run the thing in a proper manner and not spend multiples of what you're bringing in. Bring it in first then spend it.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Thats not what im saying macy. You all think that the man is such a hero. Not that things are going bad where is our so called hero now. About to run off to the club he loves so much SHELS! And i hope he does go by the way. If you read my post carefully it says he wouldnt go when we wanted him to go now he is running when things get a bit tough thats what im saying.

    On the Cork forum, there's a score for Longford of 284 in the off-field stuff for next season. That's lower than anyone bar Shels. Longford's score is unrecorded anywhere else that I've seen, so don't know if it's accurate or not, but if so, it's be kind of worrying. Whatever about the fact that it's a stupid way to decide a new league, the process did seem to give some sort of indication as to how well or otherwise clubs were being run.

    lads lads lads..
    The words of wisdom I dealt you all at the tail end of last season when Digger , Dillon , Ferguson & co.. headed for Dublin as a result of "The Blaggard" Matthews underhanded ways has finally come back to bite you were it hurts...After you all backing Matthews up for ridding the club of loyal servants those of whom had great success with The Town..The coward is jumping ship..He tried to add his own blend gettin rid of the loyal players and bringing in the wanderers of the Eircom League...I feel sad for the Town as they are a brilliant club..but I am delighted that Alan Matthews has been exposed at last..New gaffer I suggest should be The Digger..who knows what the club is all about and would be able to keep the spirit in the camp..
    Long live da Town..down with Judas..!!
