    Insert the name of your own club instead of Dublin City and the man is correct. I have to admit to the odd bout of "hate fetishism" myself but it's always aimed at CCFC (1984) and the Gypos.

    thanks for confirming that - Rovers really are the 'liverpool' of the EL - we used to be great you know, even had our own ground, really, honest, my grandad told me....

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    The 21st year of CCFC or the 21st senior football club in Cork, which?

    What are you complaining about, being hated is proof that you've made it to the big time. When you're relegated, we'll go back to ignoring your existence and my, won't you miss our little hate-fests then?

    Whatever, Doc. Seriously, this "CHF" stuff and so forth was funny for about five minutes in 2001, now it just joins the countless other cheap and tedious jibes that help make some of you look like sneering old women. The stuff that goes on between yourselves and Cork just makes me cringe.

    There are plenty of people and phenomena in this country (and many others) that deserve contempt. Why would anyone become that embittered about football? Some of you don't even seem to like your own clubs that much! Shels fans are probably the most positive I've encountered, which is why I don't give them the stick they get everywhere else.

    Bohs are the only team imo that can catch and will catch shels. Against drogheda on friday we started to play like we did when we won the league and how we did'nt beat drogheda is beyond me.

    If howlett can get us playing like that week in week out then i hope he gets the job cause we dominated drogheda and they were too negative.

    After seeing cork on saturday i can say they have no chance of winning it. Theres me thinking cork were attacking and that their team were the best irish club after beating malmo and nec Ye were ****e, all you could resort to was hitting the ball long, at least shels have learned to bring their composure from europe into the league.

    Shels are the best team in ireland but bohs could still get them.

    For what its worth;

    1. Shels
    2. Cork
    3. Bohs
    4. Drogs
    5. Longford (why not..)
    6. Waterford
    7. Rovers
    8. Derry
    9. Pats
    10.Dublin City

    Rovers, Derry, Waterford and ourselves will be close together but im being optimistic. Shels have it won already
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Oh my God! Footbal fans displaying irrational dislike of other teams in their league. How shocking.
    Isn't that half the fun of going to live games - winding up the other set of fans with inane chants and mocking them over their history. Get used to it. Or get relegated. Whichever suits you best.

    100% correct, I'm riven with jealousy. When I first saw Rovers in Milltown Cork City were 6 years away from being formed. As I said I'm being eaten up by an irrational jealousy of all things Corkie - a 20 year old club that has won less in that time than an up **** creek, homeless Rovers and doesn't own it's own ground.

    I suppose it depends how far up the evolutionary ladder you are. If you're a simian buffoon who still finds the same "jokes" amusing after they've been driven into the ground for a few years, or spends more time trawling around for an excuse to develop a new grudge or take offence at something than you do supporting your team, there's not really anything I can do to help you.

    "Careful now we still have to play ye twice more, could do untold damage to your title dreams"

    You mean our 2nd place dreams
    But yeah I hate games against your lot, especially at United Park. We seem to do ok-ish in Legoland but at home its always a strange atmosphere and an even strangerer(!) performance. We haven't beaten you at home since we were promoted 3 seasons ago! Time for that to change next time though!

    Sheridan, we're football fans, our place in life is in the primordial sludge. Leave the sociology to the likes of Nick Hornby, our role in life is to despise everyone else bar our own team. Your role in life in to be universally despised. Take consolation from the fact that Seery's achievements do elicit a certain level of grudging respect, even while we hold your head underwater
