5 things you love about your own team/club
5 things you hate about your own team/club

**wws** · 03/03/2004, 12:13 PM

about the team as such:

love

1. Set piece mastery - and the jealousy of our rivals
2. Charles Livingstone Mbabazi, Not Gone, Not Forgotten
3. Colm Foley - show me better
4. Our results v Bohez over the last three years - very much on top
5. Paul Osam - enuff said already

hate

1. Gary McPhee
2. Sitting on a one goal lead
3. Adamsons' Kick Outs
4.
5.

at a loss for four and five, its only about the 'team' not the club right? - anto murphys attitude would have made the list but we got rid of him this close season. Proper order

love:

1. The Shed on a friday night
2. Three current underage internationals
3. Georgie's boots, and what he does with them
4. The noise at away games
5. The potential

Hate:

1. Devine's distribution
2. Playing the ball long despite the players we have
3. The fact that it's been only 2 trophies in ten years
4. No official outlet for news, everything through the rumour mill
5. The fans are too fickle, e.g. mustachio

3. The cold in the Carlisle Grounds @ times
4. That we are in the 1st Division

**pineapple stu** · 03/03/2004, 8:11 PM

Love
- No trouble element - always have a laugh at Belfield (unless when Doolo's there, unless he's managing Dwogheda

)
- Free bar on the last day of the season

- Decent football
- Having the money (through programme and fanzine) to make a difference
- The relaxed feeling which goes with being underdogs, and the delight when we win a Dublin derby!

Dislike
- Bugger all fans
- Well-meaning but disorganised committee (e.g. website, no fans, etc.)
- Trying for 20 years to persuade students to go to games at the neglect of the local community
- Not having the money to have been able to afford to sack Doolo before he'd done the damage
- Top players leaving too often

Soon to be a Saint meself.Stadium of Sh*te here we come!

**The Sheliban** · 04/03/2004, 6:54 AM

Likes:
1. Tolka Park - great ground
2. Eoin Heary's Crunching Tackles
3. Wes Houlihan, and the way he might look at you.
4. Jason Byrne coming powering in to meet a pinpoint cross from OllieCahill.
5. Ollie Byrne - much misunderstood man. Has kept Shels afloat virtually single-handedly.

Dislikes:
1. Small crowd on non-Dublin derby days.
2. I'd prefer the New Stand to be on the Riverside, if you know what I mean.
3. Willo not coming for crosses.
4. Short bleedin' corners.
5. Conceding many more penalties than we're awarded.

Love's

1/ being able to say you've supported the club all the club's life rather then saying you've supported the club all your life.

2/ Not having a hated rival so that you don't alway's have to be judged on other team's succeses.

3/ Having no multi millionare players with big ego's, flash car's, cash grabbing agent's, dozzy so called celebrity wive's. Just eleven player's going out and playing another eleven player's in the way that god intended the game to be played.

4/ Being able to walk around London in me County shirt and get people coming up to me asking thing's like ''is dat a Valencia shirt your wearing maate''.

5/ Playing Summer football full stop.

Dislike's

1/ Having to do most of my supporting by listening to rte sport's report's on radio, the internet or by reading about County in a couple of line's in the paper.

2/ Spending most of last season in the top four only to fall into fifth place @ the last couple of game's, blowing a huge lead we had on Limerrick and blowing getting into the play off's.

3/ Losing some of our best player's to Dublin City, Ben Whelahan will be hugely missed @ the heart of the defence.

4/ The dj, any game i've been to all I've heard is Meatloaf and garbage like that played over the tannoy.

5/ Not having more people in the county coming out and supporting the team, it's a new club that deserve's a hell of a lot more support then what it's getting.
