    I won't be able to join that cybergoodness because I'll be supporting Shels in the stadium


    By the way, is it Longford that they call "the sheepshaggers" or are those Donegal folks ??

    Both, and anyone else from outside of Dublin.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Someone of our fans even nicknamed Cork City sheepshaggers... Seems a bit awkward for a city, looks more like what you'd call a team from a very rural place...

    The best reaction to mockery is just playing the game. It's never harmfully intended anyway.

    I like Cardiff City fans' reaction to the "you're sheepshaggers" chants from the opposite fans... When CCFC opens the score they go "one-nil for the sheepshaggers" on the tones of 'stand up for the champions' Great reaction ! Alternatively they'd sing "we shag them, you eat 'em" which sounds less tasteful

    Anyway, respect for the Longfordians, there were some very friendly folks there in the stadium and though there was a poor gate, the ones who were there were rather noisy (until Jayo and Ritchie caused a general silence )



    Nice trip again yesterday, looking forward to Monday. Up to the Ports !

    Ah, we got away with the three points in a rather tough away game, so let's not complain.

    Ritchie Baker was great again yesterday, what an asset !

    Why the heck was Pat Fenlon sent off ? He didn't run on the field or behave badly IMO...

    We've given some good reactions.Best was pats 3 or 4 seasons ago in richmond.Reaction to "You can stick your ****ing tractors up your arse":

    "You can stick your ****ing needles up your arms"
    "Atleast we own our tractors"
    "2-0 to the tractor boys"

    That game imo is still one of the best atmospheres we've had
    If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
