Irish Footballs Biggest Clichés

[gustavo]

paul collins is a dope anyway , playing up to the typical bogger stereotype

[Roo69]

He researched it by looking at our cup and seeing that the words Shamrock Rovers are engraved on it considerably more times than any other words.

And the last time you won it was..............

[Schumi]

'Students show their class'

[Roo69]

Seagulls wings clipped
Seagulss flying high - a very rare one mind you

Hears a new one from friday's match - Seagulls rob the Orchard

[Roverstillidie]

And the last time you won it was..............

This from a supporter of a team who have one it once?!?

how recent isnt the point, cup specalists means the team who have one it at nearly one in every three attempts. ie Rovers.

and how could bogford be the cup specialists, sure dont they have a big banner calling themselves 'cup champions' in flancare. lads, its league champions and cup winners ffs. no class

Twice actually - 90 and 99, it'll be 3 this season

Eh the phrase cup specalist is in terms of how recent a team has won it, how on earth can a team cup "Cup Specalist" if they have'nt won it for 18 or so years ?

[Supersaint3]

no it's not.
So for saying sake, if the current holders of the cup had won it once then they would be specialists.

No to me the likes of Longford would be 'cup specialists'; it has to be in recent memory, and more than once within say the last 3-5 year period, and generally a 'cup specialist' is that because they have **** all chance of winning anything else!

Agreed. Cup specialists have to have a very good record in cups over say a 3-5 year period, winning it say twice and getting to the quarters or semis on a few occasions. Example = Longford, with the execption of europe that is

[Bald Student]

How many eL supporters consider UCDD to be their 'bogey team'. It's as though every time UCDD win a game it's considered a freak occourance.

[Gareth]

I hate having to think up article headlines. I am resorting to the teams and the score now to save people the cruelty of having to read anothr epun filled headline.

so does that make pats the 'having points deducted for not filling in simple forms properly' specialists?

[Bald Student]

Joint specialists with Rovers.

[Roverstillidie]

Joint specialists with Rovers.

no, we just filled in the wrong forms

[manic da hoop]

Personally I have always found the use of the term 'cup specialists' somewhat embarrassing, not to mention frustrating given that I have followed a club that has won the thing an incredible 24 times for 15 years now but have yet to see us win it once

[Roo69]

no, we just filled in the wrong forms

Wrong or False ?

[Supersaint3]

Glasshouses.....

Sorry, shouldn't be mentioning houses, invokes homely images...

[manic da hoop]

no, we just filled in the wrong forms

"WE" didn't fill in any forms, right or wrong - the crooks than ran the club (almost out of existance) did.

[ColinR]

"WE" didn't fill in any forms, right or wrong - the crooks than ran the club (almost out of existance) did.

so do you then accept that 'you' have won the cup the same about of times as us - zero?? - or do you select when you want to claim your club's history and other times when you choose to ignore it

[Roverstillidie]

Glasshouses.....

Sorry, shouldn't be mentioning houses, invokes homely images...

we wont ever do it again though, the fans made sure of that.

you did it two seasons running! you were too busy hysterically screaming about the injustice of the FAI enforcing the rules to bother changing your internal systems to amke sure it happened again.

and give us back our 8 points and you might have a point about new regimes, but as we are still paying for the sins of a former holding company, we will hang onto the title most successfull club.

new ownership never means a break from your past. unless you are rocky seery.

Capital punishment for [provensial team] as [Dublin team] win's 3-0
