QuoteAre Rovers now playing an U19B team in the U 19 division as most of that team FD B team still play at under 19 level or are they eligible for both
He didn't put up any of the childish BS just the democratic people's republic statement.
It's a bray thing 😁

Where did he say this as I saw his posts and there was nothing attached to the statement by him,Originally Posted by sbgawa
We are the Galway Boys Stand up and make some noise"
It's on his personal account. Few other social media guys agreed with him, funnily enough droghedas was one and Wexford were another.
Glad to see the Development Team take a beating tonight. The first of many hopefuly.
Losing 2-0 to a team aiming for automatic promotion is a beating now?
Embarrassing how much some people are celebrating this? Thought it was just a development team?
One of the best things to come from this game has to be the Longford social media guy being called out on his pettiness at which point he said he was just doing what he was told before having it quoted back at him that he said Longford social media policy is just how he feels on the day.
Don't you love it when people's own words come back to bite them
Bit rich Rovers fan giving off about a clubs social media the rovers account has done more blocking than Hawaiian Tropic.
We are the shamrock rovers. We're Ireland's number 2. When we play the town, they always cry boo hoo.
Aye pure sh1te allright!
Rovers II are far from crap, will take a few points as they go. Not the best performance in the world from us but important to get off to a winning start with Drogs away up next. The loss of Dean Byrne is going to be absolutely disastrous
I'd rather have a social media that just blocks people than one that makes a show of itself by being unbelievably petulant
Any initial word on how bad his injury is?
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

You'd be right at home there so RH!
Heard on Jamie Moores 98 fm podcast this morning that theres lads from the Under 15 squad included in this too..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
The thing I find most intriguing is why did the guys running the Rovers II team leave it so late in the day to announce their squad. Our programme would have being going to print early in the week as any articles that you want to send to the match programme has to be by Tuesday night last so ye have noone to blame except yourselves if the squad wasnt in it.

He got in touch with one of the section o lads on twitter. Hes in severe pain he was going to Mullingar Hospital I think but preferred to go private but hes in hospital in Dublin now. He is waiting on a diagnosis but from what I hear its not looking good for him. Pity as he was superb for us until his freakish injury.
Oh by the way in a change of policy our squad arent training in Leixlip any more as there was way too many teams training out there and they have had to move their training base to Donaghmede out near the Airport.

Squad was announced before the deadline, sure rovers only found out on the 12th they were in for sure and it was after that that the first division clubs agreed on the u21s rule and you're dealing with a lot of minors so you've to talk to them, their parents, representatives if they have them, and find out if they're all okay with being involved in the team. Really the first division clubs have nobody but themselves to blame for not knowing the squad, if they'd been even the slightest but cooperative it would have all been sorted a lot earlier and easier.
Given the attitude of Longford media guy anyway and not even printing the club name on the programme (hope you get fined for that btw) the squad could have been in in December and I wouldn't have held my breath over it being printed.
Unofficially from my side myself and a few other town fans didnt agree with the clubs stance on it. Five long years ago there was no issues from Shamrock Rovers B being in it and nothing was said back then.
I do agree with you that the FAI and a lot of the first division clubs didnt make things easy for themselves at all. I prefer a ten team league than a nine team league with a shield competition which would have completely pointless.
I would be interested to see if the FAI are really going to go ahead with the A championship to resolve this debacle?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
I think every one, rovers included, is hoping that next year there's an A championship or reserve league. And everyones fine with first division clubs not being too happy about how everything was done, but how the first division clubs reacted was just as bad and how some have acted on their socials has just been outright childish.
There's a dozen examples just from around last nights game from Longfords socials alone that do nothing but harm the image of the league, far more than and second team beiein it does.
Throwing stones in your glasshouse. You must forget when the Shamrock officals stopped the Sligo radio station from broadcasting the game in Tallaght because they didn't like what the commentator said the last time they covered the game.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
