If it's anything like the "anti climb paint" in Dalymount Park be sure to take some to lubricate your car or bus engine for the long drive home.

Some of them are little idiots who enjoy being a nuisance to stewards. Disingenuous in the extreme to suggest they were trying to cause trouble with the dundalk fans.

Any idea why your stewards allowed them to move into an area they apparently shouldnt be in??

There were no toilets in the away section last night.

The "ah shur its only a tenner" argument is a microcosm of whats wrong with irish football.

It's a tenner onto the terrace in Thomond Park too and its not a disgusting ****hole.

The dozen or so Limerick fans who stood behind the goal were not causing trouble as far as I can recall. They only became boisterous when asked to return to the terraced away section. There was no trouble and it would wrong to hype this up into an "incident".

The portaloos were there last night. Where they not open? There is no excuse if they weren't open.

Our away section is very poor, but providing toilet facilities is a basic.

The toilets were there in the away section, if they weren't open this is no excuse whatsoever even if they thought there would a small turn out.

You should email the club and make a complaint. It's unacceptable.

It's a absolute disgrace from the club in fairness. Its not a massive section and over spilling occours on a regular basis , meaning a lot of fans have no option but to be up against the wall.

Theres been way too many instances of fans sitting on the wall and running on the pitch when the away team score. Obviously if we'd stop letting them score in the first place......

If people are sitting on the wall then the security firm who get paid should do their job. If Shams put Sligo Rovers fans in a small over crowded section smeared grease all over the fence they'd be the first ones bitching and moaning on the Internet. No away fans should be treated like that.

In this league a lot of places treat the away fans as if they are a hassle not as if they are paying customers.

Treated like what? No one should be going anywhere near the fence. There's enough seats there for the away support. On the very rare occasion there's more fans then seats there's plenty of room towards the goals for an overflow.

I mean this in the best possible way, but if you thought that was good the first division must really be awful! We were awful. Longford lasted 60 mins then ran out of steam and collapsed. Drogs lifted the pace for about 20 mins to win the game. Longfords second goal was a wicked deflection, like two of the drogs goals. We're in the next round, that's all that can be said!

I totally agree with you because any Town fan I spoke to last night said they really enjoyed the game and it was the best they'd seen in a while, that just tells you the crap we watch every other week. Five goals, plenty of chances, great saves, a good armosphere and almost a great comeback from Longford......Good football or not it was great entertainment.

is the paint on the wall in front of the away section? If so it's more anti-lean than anti-climb

Longford should have been further ahead at half time. Bad miss from a free header. Drogs very poor in the first half, slightly better when needed in the second.

We were out on our feet after 40 minutes the fitness levels between premier and first division told in the end.

Treated like every away fan wants to go on the pitch. Most away fans want to congregate at the singing section and under a roof and support their club so there is always overcrowding and over spill on the walkway in the jinks, more so now that they removed the barrier between the seats and the wall. If anyone thinks this is an acceptable way to treat any supporter then they are idiots.

Agreed fitness levels were telling in the end. Your #27 was running the Drogs lads ragged in the first half, looked a decent player.

Is Tony Cousins always as animated as he was last night? He seemed to be giving out and complaining right from the off, mostly at his own players and I presume it was his assistant beside him.

He's usually waving an umbrella as well.
