Derry City v Cork City..

[patsh]

There won't be enough left in the shed to collect from. The chokers have the most fickle fans in the league. Shed is full now, but if mid-table mediocrity beckons it'll soon be half empty.

Nothing like a pile of drivel spewed by a mid-table mediocrity like yourself.

I suppose that thats the reason you lot get a few hundred to every game, when your ambition is mid-table mediocrity year in, year out.

but hey, you get to beat "stronger & better financed clubs like Waterford and SPA"

Hoorah for the plucky little mediocrities from Longford......
Hip, Hip Hoorah!

[Peadar]

Its a well documented fact that fans of the Chokers are the most fickle fans in the league. For years & years the shed would be full for the first few matches of the season, but as the season progressed & mid-table mediocrity beckoned, the crowds dwindled to about 1,000-1,500.

The problem in Cork is that we've too many great sporting teams to choose from.
Still top of the eircom League.
Still in the FAI Cup.
Still in the UEFA Cup.

A Senior team in the All Ireland Hurling Final, again. (3 Years running)
A Senior football team still in the championship.

Not to mention all the rugby which will be kicking off soon.

All you've got in Longford is mediocre football and mud slinging.
You do neither of them well and fail to get a crowd at both.

[Peadar]

an absolutely amazing achievement when you consider the players pool to choose form was 100 !!!!

Aah, poor Longford.
'tis a wonder you didn't sell the cups to buy some second-hand boots for the poor deprived players.

This is hilarious stuff. Choke

Going back to our unbeaten 12 game run last season I make it 2 defeats in 34 games!!!!

This season against top 6 teams our record is:
Derry: 1 win 1 lose
Shels: 2 wins
Bohs: 2 wins
Drogs: 1 win 1 lose
Longford: 1 win 1 draw.

The defeat in Derry was our first away defeat in ALL competitions this season. Derry deserved their win but in some respects we were unlucky.

I'll admit the defeat not come at the best time with tough Uefa Cup game on thursday.

Derry are serious title contenders but we are 3 points ahead with +5 goal difference & have Derry at home in last series of games!

[pete]

I wouldn't call not making the Uefa Cup 1st round choking. Djungardens are 1st in the Swedish League. I've been saying getting past 1st qualifying round is a requirement for all eL sides but anything more a bonus.

Well he was commentating on the match and wanted to spend some time with the City fans after, by whom he was made feel very welcome.

Yes fortunately I had just left the oakgrove before the ***** arrived, so I didn't have to endure the vile spectacle of him trying to curry favour with people who should have more sense.

Some of ye Cork boys really do have short memories...The fact that practically the entire squad was developed by Dolan and O'Connor and left in such great shape made it so that anybody could go in there and be successful just goes right over ye're heads doesn't it??

Dare I say it, but even Roddy Collins would have difficulty not winning the league with that squad.

Well as I said i was up in Weatherspoons at the time so didn't see him either, unfortunately.

In fairness though, it's probably just aswell you had left as you do have a little bit of a personal problem with him lately and you may have said something stupid to him.
I'm just glad that he got treated so well by all the City fans who were in the Oakgrove.

[Colm]

Some of ye Cork boys really do have short memories.

It's only a small few in fairness. I think that was proved by the reception Pat got by a large group of City fans in the Oakgrove after.

It's a pity that some people can't respect both Dolan AND Rico without seeing the need to only like one or the other.

[razor]

and people were even buying him champagne and everything.

I heard someone p*ssed in his ballygowan but then Dolan told em it was champers and they of course swallowed it.

They sell champagne in the Oakgrove?

[A face]

The fact that practically the entire squad was developed by Dolan and O'Connor

You see, thats where you are wrong ..... all this has been thrashed out before hand and it proved to not read like that at all !!

I couldn't be bothered searching for the thread in particular .... but just might if anyone contests it ...... the fact ACTUALLY is, its not the team that Dolan built ..... it is in fact quite different and you comment is more suited to Dolan taking over first day !!

[kevin_devine]

how did a thread that was about Derry City and Cork City turn into an argument with Rovers and Longford fans

Some of ye don't know what yer talking about. The majority of that squad was at the club before either Dolan or O'Connor (or Rico) got to the club.

In fairness though, it's probably just aswell you had left as you do have a little bit of a personal problem with him lately and you may have said something stupid to him.

I have no personal problem with him, other than the fact that I don't like the man and I don't trust him. I did see him alright, he was stood a few yards away from me on the street while I was waiting for somebody. Plenty of opportunity to say something "stupid" to him, but I wouldn't waste my time on him anymore, he's just not worth it.

It's a pity that some people can't respect both Dolan AND Rico without seeing the need to only like one or the other.

Its not out of need at all Colm, its a choice- to dislike someone who is a liar and spoofer.

[The Good Son]

It's only a small few in fairness. I think that was proved by the reception Pat got by a large group of City fans in the Oakgrove after.

From what I saw Dolan was in the most part ignored by most CCFC fans in The Oakgrove, probably the best thing to do, ignore him and hopefully he'll go away. There seemed to be a lot of DCFC fans sitting around him. In fairness I wasn't there when he came in so maybe he got a good reception then.

[hoops1]

The reason it turned into a row between Rovers and Longford fans is
I cant stand Longford fans!
I was down in Longford to watch about 10 of there games
pre Stephen Kenny, When there was a need for fans, when there floodlights didnt work properly and there was more players than supporters.
There was no sign of cop on and his bandwagon jumping buddie
Now there is Longford fans everywhere giving there opinions based on
there years of EL experience(probably about 3 years)
and now that they have bored there way to 2 FAI Cup wins they preceive
themselves as a top club
They remind me of Blackburn supporters after they won the league.
You never seen them before but when the league was wonBlackburn
jerseys everywhere!
The sooner they are back in the first division the better!
..............I feel better now!

[hoops1]

Your welcome to Mooney.Hes another player you
will be turning on soon enough!
As a famous man said " any team can win a cup but the best teams win the league"
Something Longford never have or will do!

[hoops1]

When you have won it 20 odd times
Its hard to see whats so exciting about winning it twice!
At least we won the league 15 to be exact
The best Longford side ever and the best you will do is 4th!
Oh the dizzy heights you have reached!
That would have got many a Rovers manager the sack!

[kevin_devine]

After the reports i read after ronights game against the Mighty City, i would say you's are extremely boring you's played negative tactics and never challenge in the game.

I have always thought of Longford as a negative minded team
