Thats a shame he was a gfood player it just never seemed to work out for him here everything went against him.

In the words of K.K., 'I would love it' if we could beat 'the model club

' tomorrow evening. Just reading their message board and every single post is in some way disparaging or derogatory about all that is Longford Town F.C.
Then they wonder why people wouldn't like them.

It's unlikely to happen but it would be great to f*uk them over.

Longford Town; a more successful club than Shamrock Rovers in the current century.

**De Town** · 26/08/2010, 11:00 AM

Totally agree sorbo. While I am going to go out to Flancare tomorrow night expecting a good beating, the pleasure I would get out of us causing an upset is tough to put into words. I really would love to knock them out as they're the biggest crowd of ***** to grace this wonderful league...

**sorbothegreek** · 26/08/2010, 11:34 AM

Just heard yesterday that O'Neill is allowing at least some of the on-loan players to play for us tomorrow night. I would assume that's Victor cleared anyway, I think there's a chance the other two lads might be included as well..

**outspoken** · 26/08/2010, 12:15 PM

Not sure on the Longford loan players thing yet I think wel only find that out at kick-off but heres the rovers team news http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/news/35...own-fri-27-aug

Murray will hopefully be out that gives us some type of chance back there cause he really is a rock in defence but still a danger in the opposition box.

I hope Baker gets a run out I doubt it though.

thats great news if that the case!

**De Town** · 26/08/2010, 9:04 PM

I've heard otherwise about the loan players and that none of them can play...

**Longfordian** · 26/08/2010, 9:33 PM

I wonder if there's an FAI rule about loan players not playing against their parent clubs? I'd be surprised if there wasn't tbh. If I were Rovers I wouldn't let them play, just in case. You have to be professional.

There is no rule as you cant sign a contract with conditions attached.

**L.T.F.C.** · 26/08/2010, 9:47 PM

Looked at the SRFC Ultras forum.
Wow.
You can see why they're hated. Talk about beyond the Pale! They truly disgust me, and anyone else. "Culchie" and "bog" being the keywords in that thread that sorbo mentioned.
Strange, we have our own keywords, "scum" being the main one, and "*******" and "*****" are up there too.

**outspoken** · 26/08/2010, 9:54 PM

They really do go ott on that forum dont they they think everybody is biased against them and they wonder why they call every town a kip hole even tho their home town was voted dirtiest in ireland thats Hippocratic for ya.

And there threating to ban a member for posting here on foot it crazy.....I know a rovers fan on fb and hes not allowed to post on other clubs walls or hel get thrown out hahaa classic bunch arnt they.

If there's no FAI rule against it then the only reason not to play them would be a "gentleman's agreement" with Rovers I suppose. You used to be able to make conditions in a loan agreement, I know we did a few times when loaning out players and bringing in players, but that may well have changed in the last few years. We'll know tomorrow if they can play or not in any event!
