Who Cares?!
We don't charge in pounds.
They always cheat, they always lie
**** Delaney and the FAI
The European Union hasn't reached the midlands yet. I was in Mullingar last week and they're still struggling with decimalisation

Wouldn't matter to you anyway.
You've got no fans.
As Tesco says "every little helps"Would you prefer to stand in **** if you could see it in the light?!
i think anyone who looks at football as a "product" needs a good kicking.
It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

the one thing i hate about our football is summer football.
i use to love the dark cold nights heading to the match and the glare of the floodlights greeting you as you get nearer the ground, and the hot soup and sambo at half time,
summer footie is a joke.
Travelling on the 75 from dun laoghaire to dublin. if ever a journey reinforced the stereotype of LOI supporter as social outcast...
If Jesus came back today, and saw what was going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up

Your post is irrelevant as it completely misinterprets what I said as you do it again here.
I said.....Within the same paragraph you claim that the elitism is a load of "Bullcrap"
Hence its a cop out, its a no go, its not the reason why barstoolers dont go to games, its another spurious excuse why barstoolers dont go to games.As for the eletist remark, that is just an absolute bullcrap cop out.
I never denied that there is not an element of eletism but that is just a bullcrap cop out.
Oh no, not everyone.but then you go on to say how much better you are than everyone else 3 times!
Just those who support corporate entities, and in a footballing supporter sense of the word.
No hypocricy at all to it.I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of your post, I have no issues with you feeling superior to a non LOI football fan but don't try to claim that you don't love the superiority you feel because of it. Based on your little tirdae above you clearly absolutely revel in it.
I never denied that LOI fans are superior in a footballing supporter sense of the word to barstoolers.
I just pointed out that because some, like myself, do revel in the superiority of the LOI supporter experience that the excuse by barstoolers that LOI are eletist is the reason they support corporate entities is bullcrap. Like as was pointed out before that once you start going to LOI games you instantly lose the stigma of being a barstooler so that excuse is irrelevant and as was pointed out at the start absolute bullcrap.
There is definetly an element of truth in that.
But that arguement is largely dependant on the fact that a club representing its community must have players in their team of that community.
Im not advocating that at all, all im stating is that a local club is the extension of its community. But I do not see the playing staff as dependant on that at all.
This arguement could be consistent with supporting ones national team as nationality as it was once seen is now being changed where we see Nigerians playing for Poland, Brazilians playing for Tunisia, Ghanians playing for France, Americans playing for Italy, Brazilians playing for Angola etc.(Above all look at the Jack Charlton era).
It could be argued that many of those players who are "naturalised" etc do not represent the nation they play for but IMO that in no way lessens the significance of the National Team in representing a nation and being an extension of the nation.
That bus route always makes me think of Martin Sheen's journey in Apocalypse Now.Travelling on the 75 from dun laoghaire to dublin. if ever a journey reinforced the stereotype of LOI supporter as social outcast...
You can't spell failure without FAI
The fact that we lose all our best players to England.
I know in a weaker league this cant be helped, but Cork would be competing in the Champions League if they could take back the players they've sold...
A partnership of Kevin Doyle and Roy O'Donovan with Dave Mooney on the bench would give us the best strike partnership in the league.
How we still have Dan Murray I'll never know.

cork - but that will be sorted soon
you havent been to the rsc then?
toilets on both sides of the ground are second to none.
probably the best equipped ground in the league.
There's a lot more things there though than just a football stadium. If I'm not mistaken there is an athletics track and a swimming pool there too.

Some of what your smoking please!
it is the best equipped ground by a mile,
it has everything a football ground needs.
Where else can you practice your long jump while watching a game?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
