Have a decent ground for a few years and you think you can call other clubs places a kip. Not long ago Shams didn't even have a ground. Chill out, ye drew and you decide to give out that the ground is a kip and blaming the pitch and ref

.... just get on with it I say.

Please accept our sincere apologies if we upset you, or Mr O'Neill or any of your excellent footballers today.

We really appreciate the fact the aristocratics of the Airtricity League allowed our players to share the same pitch today, and remain bowled over by the graciousness and modesty of all attached to the Great and Mighty Rovers.

We promise that we will keep our heads bowed low when we visit the Cathedral of Footballing Excellence in a couple of weeks time.

Id love to see Dan Murray trying to pass,run and tackle on Dundalks pitch. Easily the worst professional footballer ive ever seen play LOI football

Wasn't there, and may just be chancing me arm at this one, but erm.....

...any chance Alan Kelly was there??

Read on the Shams forum their fans weren't happy with Dundalk's bin facilities.

He's won the odd title in his career. Must be the most decorated con artist in the history of Irish football in that case.

Is this to way to build the game up in Drogheda though ?? Living on the bones of others.
If yee have no plan for your future other than"ahh sure we will be grand" and "sure isnt the play off great" then move over and give other,more forward looking sides a chance. Yee are running down the name off Drogheda United for the sake of a few of you that are still involved with the club.

3/4 of the ground is a kip, but still dosent stop me paying in. From what i hearing Bohs won't have a ground next year either!

Interesting reading Shams fans having a pop at other clubs about grounds and supporter numbers. Considering they are still homeless, averaged a few hundred supporters when in Tolka, and up til only around 4/5 years ago played in the lower leagues of Irish football it's quite hillarious tbh.

Pfft. I give you - Victor Ekanem. Brutal last night. Three wins on the trot for us, and Derry after shooting themselves in the foot ahead of Friday.

Interesting reading, as the post is quite hilarious.

Can any Derry fans here who was in the Showgrounds tell me which Rovers player the chant "Your Ma's a gypsy, your dads a Jew" was directed at?

**pineapple stu** · 03/05/2011, 9:09 AM

Can we not have this descend into the same rubbish as every week? Crap binned.

You're not, but not far off - he is now on 67 league goals, seven behind Ski's record of 74

I can only asume your fans are saving up for their Big Day Out in Tallaght in a few weeks time as there was sweet FA there today.

Bar the decision at the end not to give us a peno I wouldn't be letting anything Dundalk did/didn't do bother me if I was you. If Dundalk fans are happy that their manager seems to only be concerned at their results v us compared to other sides and celebrates a draw with us at home like a win then that's their business and not ours I say. Each to their own.

rovers thought that for a while last year - missed him when he was out injured though - immense against Juventus as well I believe?

Dans a strange guy, took him a while to settle with us and again with rovers, didn't do well on trial with Leeds but once he settles hes one of the best defenders in Ireland, and is dadly from corners.

One of the very best players in the league IMO

Pat Dolan, Damien Richardson, Alan Mathews, Paul Doolin and Michael O'Neill all had him as captain.
