[L.T.F.C.]

I would just like to say that I was absolutely disgusted by the booing during the penalty shoot-out. A serious lack of respect for the opposition last night.

I for one didn't boo myself as it's not something I agree with and most people around me seemed to have the same attitude but to be honest I just think it's something that happens within football and if it does make an away team uncomfortable then what they hey but one of my favorite moments after the game last night was the entire stand staying back to applaud the mervue lads off the pitch it was very emotional to see the likes of tom kings in tears after the game and I for one am gutted to see that team leaving LOI football, they are a joy to watch.

Coukdnt make it down, so great to have the Shannonside coverage. Was convinced we'd thrown it away with the equaliser so late.

[NeverFeltBetter]

I listened to Shannonsider FM for the match, great lads, far better than the disinterested lot for 95FM.

Totally agree with the booing for the penos that's just not on. Shout anything you want (within the moral codes) during the game if you want, but not during penos.
I know some good peno takers and they all say silence is worse you really fell the pressure then.
Also agree Mervue should not be disbanded I think they were the best footballers in the division, I know the results say otherwise, but I didn't seem to mind as much losing to them.
When they beat us at least it was with good football not lucky deflections or biased refs and linesmen, I wonder could we get a few of them for next season now they won't have a club some of them might be interested

Any video coverage of any of it?

[RonnieB]

I think I might have stumbled into a rugby forum.

Hmm, were MNS cameras in attendance?

[RonnieB]

I only saw the usual camera guy the club hire.

[L.T.F.C.]

Don't boo during penalties? *drops his monocle*

Still shows a lack of respect.

[RonnieB]

What, dropping my monocle?

Should just bar all noise inside a ground. Every game played in perfect respectful silence.

No one said anything about barring all noise inside a ground. Its also very easy to respect your opposition, and there isn't a thing wrong with it.

Like I said I'm sure if you watch any penalty shoot out around Europe or even South America you will hear the same it's just something within football, our fans were extremely respectful of mervue by clapping them off the pitch.

You lads should watch the harps v derry shootout earlier in the season

Or harps v town play-off for that matter

That never really happened. That game was just a bad nightmare I had.

[NeverFeltBetter]

2-2 final score, Longford come back from two first half Byrne goals. Bray the better team by most accounts. No away goals as far as I know, so tie is interestingly poised going into the second leg on Friday.
