We're all a Hoop tonight

[WoodquayBoy]

Good luck to Shamrock Rovers tonight, I would imagine the whole League of Ireland family is behind you, though some may not be as obvious about it as others!
Nice preview in the Indo today, and lovely little shot across the bows of a certain Grab All Association club by Daniel McDonnell.

Thanks Woodquay, yeah I was thinking the GAA must find it hard to sleep these days, their worst fears of football in tallaght are slowly coming to fruition! They'll be trying to burn the stadium down soon enough...

Speak for yourself and let others do likewise

It will be good for Rovers to get a result, but it matters little to the rest of the league (same as every other European result over the last number of years). If they win the media and barstoolers will spin it being about a poor Juve. So good luck to Rovers - in the farewell card in work type of way, rather than a donning a green and white jersey...

Dan... you're killin me Dan. Here, you're not thinking clearly. I think you're seeing through red tinted glasses. Take them off for a sec and see the green/white light. See? Much better now. Now, take it slow and a deep breath and say with me; come on...the hoops. Slowly now go on.

I'm just saying that one lad from Galway shouldn't speak for Galway fans, never mnd the rest of the league

[redobit]

If Shams win - I wont cheer
If Shams lose - I wont cheer
If Shams draw - I wont cheer
I hope Shams do the league proud tonight!

Work that one out, cause I cant.

[Sunny Jim]

I always want every LOI team to do well in Europe (yes, even Sporting Fingal) so C'mon the Hoops!!

I never said "on behalf of all LOI fans, we're all behind you Rovers", I said I would "imagine" everyone is. Clearly I imagined incorrectly. Who that says more about, me or them, is up for debate.

Why are you so obsessed with what a few people from Sligo on this forum might say? Only one has posted in this thread.
In any case they are hardly representative of the Sligo population in general. Surely you have bigger things to worry about, today of all days.

Keepin' them in front of you where you can keep an eye on them, clever boy.

I was sitting in my tractor yesterday waiting to get into the shed and a friend of mine asked me was I going to Tallaght. I said no but I'd be watching it. He replied that it would be "nice" to see an Irish team beat a "big side". I agreed but pretty much told him "anyone but Shams." The argument that it'll be good for the league and to get behind the LoI doesn't wash at all. I don't like Shams, and therefore never wish them well. I only wish my team and Longford Town well. People reckon a good performance from Shams tonight will serve the league well. I don't think it'll make one bit of a difference for the league, only for Shamrock in terms of monies and support. The league is almost as low in terms of respect and co-ef's as it can go. A hammering tonight for Shams won't make much difference.
Altogether now!!!

C'MON JUVE!

The league is almost as low in terms of [...] co-ef's as it can go.

It's about as high as it's ever been and you reckon it can't get any lower?

Best of luck to Rovers tonight. And if they get hammered, I'll have a little giggle. Win win.

and you reckon it can't get any lower?

I don't think it will Stu, I do not think it will.

[osarusan]

Good luck to Rovers.

I'm not convinced what a result would do for the league either, although anything other than a loss will be a useful rebuttal to some barstooler argument about how crap LOI is.

But separate from that, as a supporter of a club that has been starved of success for so long, I'm happy to see fans of any team get a chance to enjoy European success, and the (perhaps fleeting) happiness that comes with it.
