Shelbourne F.C. in Europe

**Anto McC** · 23/06/2005, 2:43 PM

The Euro draws are on tomorrow.

I know there is a strong anti-Shels feeling on this message board but i am just curious of how many people want Shels to do well in Europe.

Can this be made into a poll,please

I'll be supporting you anyway, for the profile of the league and the coefficients.

It doesnt matter who is playing in Europe as everyone i would think wants the Irish representative to do as well as possible. Teams doing well in europe helps this league, improves the co-efficient and gives a positive knock on effect. I've always supported whichever team played in Euro competitions, be it cork, shels, bohs, longford or whoever. Anyone that wouldnt be supportive of a team in Europe isnt really thinking for the long term benefit of the league.

Yeah, so that we can be seeded in the Champions League next season.

I typically root for any Irish person or team when competing against foreign opposition.

Maybe the anti-shels feeling isn't as strong as i though but no other Dublin clubs fans have posted an opinion so i would still like a Poll

Have gone the shels games in the past, wouldn't again because of Oily's attitude to neutrals as I've stated loads of times. (Big crowds all shels fans, small crowds neutrals fault

)

I'm kinda neutral on how they do, I mean want them to do okay, but couldn't help bursting out laughing when Hibs of Malta scored against them (if you look carefully on the TV replay of that goal you can see myself and Xlex p�ssing ourselves laughing as it went in

)

I'll be supporting Shels as I will all our other entrants. I was at Landsdowne last year and I'll try to make it to Tolka this year if possible. Another good run from all our clubs could do the league a profile boost in the media. Not to mention the obvious co-efficient benefit.

So will you vote for or against Shels

**Kingdom** · 23/06/2005, 3:44 PM

Without pulling the "p - i - double-crooked letter" out of any eL fans here, do you mean supporting as in , wishing to do well, or supporting as in turning up and paying at the stiles.

With regard to the latter I probably wouldn't go to watch shels but I would definitely want them to do well, regardless of who they were playing in Europe, as , said many times here, they would be helping the league not just themselves by progressing as far as possible.

I'll vote on the poll when my question has been answered.

I will be supporting Shels ,I always support any Irish team in europe.

**centre mid** · 23/06/2005, 3:52 PM

I think when any team plays in europe they are representing the league, any i would imagine that a majority of el fans will be wishing shels well

I for one will pay in at the turnstiles anyway

**tiktok** · 23/06/2005, 4:15 PM

Gareth, you're not a neutral, stop trying to fix the poll

"I know there is a strong anti-Shels feeling on this message board but i am just curious of how many people want Shels to do well in Europe."

Clearly I am on the message board. I also am supporting Shels and I want them to do well in Europe. Under the guise of the poll question I am just answering.

Hehe

Second that. Good Luck to Shels...

**pineapple stu** · 23/06/2005, 5:34 PM

Always try and get along to see other eL teams in Europe - have supporters Shels, Pat's, Bohs and UCD (

), though not gotten along to a Rovers game for one reason or another. Whatever about Ollie, etc., it reflects well on the league as a whole when our teams start making progress in Europe.
