Is the bar under your stand still open?
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
No bar anymore, just the shop.
Nearest bar is the Olive just up the road near the roundabout.

Just wasn't worth it I think. Anytime we'd get a big crowd, we would be asked to close it for 'security' reasons.

Sporting F*ck All!
Another excellent three points on the board. Wasn't there so can't comment on how we played! Where has Colly James found these goals from?
we could do with a clean sheet and a cf scoring one of the says! Other than that we can't complain right now, hurray for winning. The limerick fans are fairly ****ed with skully now
just back from the game. collie james goals are getting better and better. shawsie did fantastically well to win the ball back and the ball came to collie james riveled it on the run. the goal we let in was shockin bad hylo wouldnt go for ball over top he allowed athlone player to lob him but we did very well to win it.. from balls toing and froing the ball came rebounded to havo in the peno area and he couldnt miss! Athlone got a player sent off for diving and got two yellow cards for his troubles gas thing is that it was the linesman that copped this! superb town vocal support there tonight!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Great game and an even better win, every season we seem to be privaleged to witness amazing goals away from home and it will take an absolute worldy to beat Colly James goal tonight what a screamer! One thing that's really pleasing me is the amount of goals coming from our back four With Des Hope and Havo weighing in big time this season, maybe Martinho could check his big bad book of statistics and tell me what's the most goals scored in a season by a defender for de town?
Martinho is dead right RE Athlone's goal, we started the 2nd half very very slow and sloppy and on a number of occasions Hylo failed to come and sweep the ball which in fairness to him he did brilliantly in the first half but for some reason he just didn't seem to do it in the 2nd and as a result we were caught quite badly with the goal. But fair play to not only the team for not cracking under the pressure and panacking but fair play to all the supporters who got right behind the team and not on their backs when it would have been very easy to do so.
The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic and we have some cracking new songs on the playlist now! Well done all.

I'm delighted to hear about our grit to get the win.
I am very worried as Acornvilla said, that our strikers aren't scoring. I do realise that Shaw has three assists in the last two games, and Bermingham has some too, but I'd love if they scored. Their recent performances really deserve some goals! Hopefully they'll push on and get a few goals next week!
I'm so excited though. Was giddy all day yesterday and my weekend hinged on last nights result. Limerick losing made it a bit sweeter!

Clip of the Town fans from last night up on youtube already... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=makLoWvLtMQ
That young Corby chap from Dublin was recording the game last night so I tweeted him to see if he got any of the crowd and he said he has the crowd, the last 2 goals and the penalty incident which looks like a peno the first 4 times and not a peno the next 4 and 50/50 thee afterwards as he put it, it's obviously impossible to tell but my instant reaction was it's not a peno, anyway I'l keep an eye out for this video.

On my phone now so can't post a link but that video is now up in Youtube just search Loiinterviewshow and youl find it. There's some decent game footage on there and it shows Athlones goal and our winner, very little of the crowd shown just at the start but you can't hear us it's just showing us clapping basically.
The interviews are flipping comical because all the Athlone lads are crying about the penalty and are very bitter, Jennings said we're no Barcelona or Real Madrid and he might be right about that but were certaintly not Athlone haha
then he interviews TC and he says to him about the penalty and fair fecks to Tony he says in no uncertain terms it was not a penalty and he has footage to prove it, he also says there's more to come from us. Also interviews with Shaw, Kirbs and Gillespie and that big dose Mike Keerly with his colourful scarf.
Just on the attendance we thought maybe 350-400 but when you see on Camera the stand was fairly empty. Anyway enjoy it Cause it's very funny, the bitter o blue and black.

outspoken the highest amount of goals scored by a town defender in a single season was in the 01/02 season with Stewie Holt(mind you some classify him as a midfielder) and 2005 season Stephen Paisley with six goals!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Would have considered Holt more of a midfielder!!Set piece specialist,will never forget his free kick against pats on the last day of the season or the time he scored straight from a corner!
well then its stephen paisley on his own whos the highest scoring defender in a season ever!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Thanks for that Martinho, I'm very confident we could have a new record set in that field this season with Hope and Haverty both scoring goals for fun! Has deans scored yet this season? Won't be too much longer just waiting in Crawley then and our whole back 4 will be in on the act, would be great if we could do like Spurs last season and get every outfield player a goal. But at the end of the day as long as we win who cares who scores.
