Longford: I would not want to be associated with this team

**Schunter Netz** · 30/06/2005, 1:13 AM

Lets not get anti-Longford here. Over the last five or six years, Longford have been one of the most progressive clubs in the league, a club that we get on with very well and one that plays positive, neat football. In fact, they have been notable for their short-passing, skillful approach while we were humping long balls to small forwards who used to be, or were thought to be, fast. Not so much has changed, and I don't see why Angry Patsh - he's always angry, it seems, and lashes out wildly - sees this performance as different, nor why its such an issue. that we drew a home game. An organised team with mid-table potential and a capable coach came to the Cross and got a draw. Cork played well but couldn't quite make the last pass or connection tell. Why the anger? Whats this campaign to hate Longford? Forgive my innocence, but I like Longford, I like when they come to Cork, and all they stand for in the campaign to have a truly NATIONAL league. We could have won the game five-nil but it didn't happen due to shortcomings in the Cork team...Duh...is this the wrong thread to mention that we need a forward who scores goals?

Who is angry?
Just because some wum like you can't actually read, it doesn't make me angry, anti-Longford or in any way dismissive of the club.
Never let whats actually written get in the way of one of your rants though, it hasn't before.

Bought the Mirror yesterday and what do I find, nearly a full page interview with Mr Alan "Attacking" Matthews on how he thinks Shels will win the League over City cos they have more strikers.

anymore and i'll bin the thread, its going nowhere anyway

Roar

If you actually read my post you would see that i made those exact points.
It is his opinion and he's entitled to post it
Secondly, i never called him a whinger. i merely posted a rhetorical question.

I didn't realise it was forbidden to express an opinion (constructively made in my first post which was then misread and dismissed by others) which goes against the mob rule.

I'm not sure either why schunter netz was attacked and branded a wum for expressing sentiments similar to mine.

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......

ahem at least im not delude.many of them are but not me.tbh i canniot understand how you go and not even try to win the game.its been like that since matthews took over against big teams and whatever tactics he employs thereafter seems to be good of course to beat the waterfords and ucds of this world.performances like that against shels on monday is what i want from now on alan A POSITIVE APPROACH

I was hoping I could keep this going until then, so I can whinge away about the Students until I can whinge about Longford after next Tuesday again!.......

Anger????
Not at all dear boy, just a critique of those patented Matthews football tactics.....

**fosterdollar** · 01/07/2005, 9:53 AM

Critique ... hehe. No point patenting something that doesn't work

**Ronnie** · 01/07/2005, 2:21 PM

Patsh, thought you accpeted earlier this week that your comments couldn't be justified based on the performance in the cross alone? I was happy to leave it at that, and yet the threads still going on!
