    Longford Town Hooligan

    Longford Town manager Alan Matthews was sent off last night
    for throwing and hitting a spectator with a water bottle during the game
    last night
    Is he going to be caged at the next home game like they tried to do to the Rovers fans?
    Is he going to be banned from all there home games(I think not)
    The silence from Flancare park is deafining!
    Lets have all the anti Rovers brigade on now to slaughter Longford and Matthews!
    Or is it Just the Hoops who get the treatment

    Anyone who acts like a SCUMBAG deserves it. Lately that behaviours been on show alot with Rovers, so don't try to come accross all innocent! If he did do that, he should be fined, punished, and banned from the touchline for at leats 2 games. But I bet nothing happens...

    Matthews should be fined and recieve a tiuch line ban.The same rules should apply to everyone.Rules are rules and should not be broke and when they are those responcible should pay the price.

    Does Alan Matthews still play or was it as a manager on the sideline?

    I think Longford should be allowed away with these little indiscretions.

    After all, they are a plucky little club, doing their best to compete with the incredible amounts of money available to other clubs. They have a tiny budget, can't get their hands on any decent players, but hold big teams scoreless and get draws.
    I think Longford are a shining beacon to all other little clubs, those clubs should look at them and realise that they too might get to a mid-table position in the league and might get to progress in cup competitions.
    Hail plucky little Longford, I salute you and your amazing achievements!

    Eh seriously though if it were a manager at a Dublin side, I think a big deal would be made of it.

    How many times have Roddy and Pat been accused of being bad members of the league but Rico and now Matthews constantly get away with indiscretions.

    To be fair that's only the second time he's been sent off in four seasons with us. Apparently was in reaction to some Cork wag giving him w*nker gestures to his face, the same guy then challenging him to a fight after the match. he'll get a ban and a fine and serve his punishment
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    I think Matthews already got a 6 match touchline ban this season (was it appealed to 3 matches) so he'll surely get big fine & longer ban this time?

    I wasn't at the game but don't think he hit anyone with water bottle. Probably just sprayed with water but also unacceptable.

    No. Aaron Callaghan got a six game ban. Now he's a hothead. Mathews has only been sent off once before last night and that was the season before last i think.

    I meant now as in after last night we can say that Alan Matthews is someone who falls into that category. I don't know of any previous incidents involving Matthews.

    .................sorry. After last night cynics can say that he is prone to the odd outburst. I am only cynical towards Cork City FC and their fans.

    He came out with it on eL weekly on Monday. Described his team as a number of things one of which was loquacious which means talkative.

    Why thank you.
    Fair play to Bray, another plucky little club like Longford.
    It's great to have you both in the premier division, it helps to flesh out the fixture list.......

    Typical. If matthews was managing Rovers (where he was reserve player of the year in 1986) this would be front page news and on CNN. Oh the hypocrisy of longford.

    They build a cage for us last saturday and then wonder why we would get upset? So scared of us that the programme sellers scarpered before the kick off!

    Of course dont mention that Valentines and that pub in Tarmonbarry welcomed us.

    Look at that little cockroach eamon collins. He tries to attack a derry player on friday and where's the headlines? If that wasnt shown on monday.............

    Oh the hypocrisy of the media and the anti Rovers brigade.........
