Were aiming to win 1-0...on penos!
I was actually at that game in Waterford (strangely enough!) and it was rubbish, one of the worst el premier games I've EVER seen.Originally Posted by Ronnie
Longford were dire and Waterford were even worse.
The crowd and atmosphere in the RSC were dreadful too, the place was like a morgue. You'd be amazed at how the place is transformed when we go down there.... I think you'd call it the Rebel Army effect!
Champions!
I can actually hear Matthews trying to beat that result into his team....
think the (needless) longford bashing has gone far enough guys,
we (town supporters)don't need to apologise to anybody out there.
this thread has gotten out of hand imo.

Oh my God
Why cant Alan Matthews and his little Longford Town team play like that from day one.There is absolutely no doubt in my mind we are a match for anyone in this lge.All I want and EXPECT from my team is to put in a major effort which is what we got from them last night.Ok we didnt get th points but at least we made a real fist of it.All I want from Matthews is to go out to every pitch in the country with that attitude and not the attitude that we are nobodies when it comes to teams like shels and cork. My motto is If you aim for the stars you will reach the clouds.Its ambition as I continually mention that has got this club where they are today.Its the first really decent performance of the season lets hope they keep it up.

Oh no!!!!They might subject you to extra time too!
get over it lads.
Why do we whinge so much in cork?
If we want to win leagues we have to be prepared for teams coming to the cross playing for a point, and we have to learn to beat them. Quite simply it's the hallmark of every winning team. Why should longford play a style of game when they play us that suits us more than them? They're not playing to win the league, and in the EL if that's the case then you are always looking over your shoulder at the relegation zone.
I applaud everything they have achieved in the last 5 years. They're a miniscule club compared to ourselves, and with much smaller resources. They're entitled to play the sensible game on and off the pitch.
We, as top of the league, are there to be beaten, and teams like longford are there to beat. If we can't do it we don't deserve top spot. And i'll just point out that we've already drawn with ucd and bray at home this year, and lost to drogheda.
Quit harking on about how talented a team we are, and learn to eake out the 1 nil win.
Who is whinging?
Is it not allowed to point out the the FACT that Longford played dreadful, negative football the other night?
Longford fans comeback is to say that we are whinging, because they don't want to face the FACT that their team were absolute sh*te on Friday night, did not play football and had absolutely no ambition to try to get 3 points.
Being called a whinger in this case simply means that you can't come up with any cogent argument to disprove what has been said by some City fans, so just fling some insults and derision instead...
Branding us as sh!te on the basis of one match which, depending on your viewpoint, did not necessarily show a poor performance simply means your argument is equally invalid.Being called a whinger in this case simply means that you can't come up with any cogent argument to disprove what has been said by some City fans, so just fling some insults and derision instead...
Given the above poster's use of 'we', it's clearly not just (some) LTFC fans calling you a whinger.

I have REPEATEDLY mentioned FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAME, and GAMES AGAINST CORK CITY.
What part of that could you not read?
On top of that, you STILL HAVE NOT come up with any argument to disprove my point, so just fling "whinger" at me again, I'm really convinced by that excellent point...
Firstly, Don't be so patronising. Secondly, relax or you'll have a hernia.
You're reiterating my point anyway. I was implying that you were generalising the standard of management and the style of play at Longford on the basis of one match. OK, I'll give you the other Cork City ones. Still doesn't form much of a basis for gross generalisation.
I've never called you a whinger. And I'm not going to back over my earlier posts. "What part of that could you not read?"On top of that, you STILL HAVE NOT come up with any argument to disprove my point, so just fling "whinger" at me again, I'm really convinced by that excellent point...

yes indeed i'm a city fan.
it's not a 'fact' but rather an 'opinion'. which you're entitled to of course.
I didn't call you a whinger personally, but instead the general tone of the posts berrating longford for playing for the point instead of playing gung ho.
I stand by everything i said. and i don't thin in light of what has been written about longford, it can be called insulting or derisory.
Shock horror a team goes to the league leaders home ground and plays for a point! you can just see the headlines now.I think it's a disgrace that we went down to the cross with a game plan of not to lose the game and it worked.What was matthews thinking,it's complete madness.I mean to go to the ground of the league leaders where we have not had a positive result for a long time and avoid being beat at all costs is just mad.Does the man who manages a part time team who are back to back FAI cup winners and league cup winners not realise that to employ frustrating tactics against a superior team of full timers who have won nothing for ages may just annoy their extremely big headed know it all fans.I for one must apologise to all Cork people who have taken offence by tactics employed against your team to achieve a result.It is clearly obvious that results only appear to matter to other people.Maybe that's why your team has nothing for ages.

Longford played sh*te football. FULL STOP.
To say that, is not an attack on
the club or
it's fans, or
to comment on the progress of the club & how it was built up or
where it stands to today.
It means exactly what is written. They played sh*te football, if it could be called footballt.
All the Longford fans getting up on their high horses about this would want to cop themselves on. Deal with the point, and when you can't do that, don't go flinging whinger at someone when you can't think of anything else to say.
Longford EVERY time I've seen them, play dreadful, negative football under their present manager. They do it all the time against City, it's dire to watch, but bold, bold me for mentioning that FACT, I shouldn't be upsetting all the poor deluded Longford fans......
what a cogent well constructed argument.
A hell of a lot better than a pathetic attempt at sarcasm or an insult.....what a cogent well constructed argument.
let's keep it friendly lads yeah? Patsh is simply expressing his opinion, which he is perfectly entitled to do. Just because you may not agree with it doesnt mean you can call him a "whinger" or whatever. If you've got an opinion then post it, dont just post casual insults, post something constructive.
anymore and i'll bin the thread, its going nowhere anyway
Roar
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Probably best to bin it anyway.
I promise not to make anymore posts about Longford's terrible football.......
Too trueI'm really convinced by that excellent point...
dont be making promises you cant keep fella!Probably best to bin it anyway.
