It's bad and getting worse. I just hope somebody tries to put a stop to it. Think of the kids!! Somebody please think of the kids!!

We'll have a lot of kids with us Saturday and they have never heard swearing before in their lives.

So please Longford Town, think of the children, we could have 70 or 80 fans up there, do you really want them all going back to Limerick with tales about how rough Longford is??

On an aside are your crowds really so awful that we could outnumber ye??

have to say I was very impressed with the report on the match in the leader, very honest, factual and pulled no punches.. well done to the writer concerned.

As regards some of the supporters in the stand (and I dont want to start another stand debate) but some of them have no clue whatsoever about football or how its played. As much as they berate cousins if the players were to follow their instructions, you would have a mix between ufc in terms of physicality, u-10 community games football (or sheep in a field all huddled around eachother), and a re-incarnation of jack charltons long ball game.

I'd say you'll be out of luck there mate. By sounds of things come Sat night most Longford supporters will be locking Cousins and Kieran Burke up in that cage!!

At the end of the day were all Town fans and we all want whats best for our club.

There is a certain section of fans were I sit and we are the only fans in the stand that get a bit of atmosphere going. When we start a chant no one else in the stand joins in which is a bit strange.

And the support the lads received VS Waterford was amazing the crowd knew we needed a push to get over the line and the crowd picked the noise levels up a notch and it was one of the highlights of the night in my mind.

In fact its very fair. The supporters in the stand are very hard to listen to and I'm getting quite sick of it to be honest...

On the game Sat we'll be lucky to keep within 2 goals of Limerick, 3-1 away win.

Exactly Town Legend. Abuse is all it is, and they telling the players what to do is laughable...
We had a minute to clear the ball between our two foul throws and Monaghan's first goal last week! Not the refs fault!

The refs decision to reverse the throw was a poor one in my opinion but the defence feel asleep and we conceded a terrible goal so while the ref played a part your dead right the defense should have cleared it away with ease.

It was the right decision... He was asked to move back twice and he didn't. Tough ****.

But the Monaghan player was showing dissent by not given the ball back and then moving it up the line to where the Town player took the throw from so the ref should have stepped in there and had a word with the monaghan player and that would have given him enough time to tell the Longford player to move back properly ..... but anyway that game has come and gone lets forget about it and hopefully move on to a win this weekend.

**Longfordian** · 27/05/2010, 11:40 PM

**Longfordian** · 28/05/2010, 10:30 AM

A case of sticking to what you know I guess!

**Pauro 76** · 28/05/2010, 1:04 PM

My first game of the season.. hoping to start off with a win.

**De Town** · 28/05/2010, 3:24 PM

Yes some fans in the stand are absolutely ridiculous with some of the comments they make, but there's also a dope or 2 to be had in section O, and other areas of the ground. 1 person in particular should have been thrown out last week imo with some of the stuff they were coming out with.
