It's only muppets who'd expect us to honour them!Originally Posted by jimmy-boy
I'll have a flick through the programme and a chat with my buddies while this distraction is in progress.
1980 was a black year in Irish football.
No need to remind people.
My little chant to Waterford;
"You're nothing but a side show.
You're nothing but a side show.
You're nothing but a side show.
You're nothing but a side show.
You're nothing but a side show.
You're nothing but a side show..."

What has George O'Callaghan got to do with Waterford?Originally Posted by Cosmo
Muppets!
Derry fans might have sung something to him, but whatever it was, it made him play a blinder.
Hope you manage to similarly inspire him.
The Derry fans would have been better employed trying to inspire their own players.

Same with the abuse connor gets - connor has actually played well against cork this season (bar his one abvious f**k up!!). I reckon connor thrives on the abuse ye give him, so keep it coming on sundayOriginally Posted by Peadar

'The Derry fans would have been better employed trying to inspire their own players'
What? like cork fans did when they gave Barry Ryan abuse over something he did in the past in his 'personal life'- shocking stuff bringing something a player did in his personal life into play

I remember when Waterford United went down to the X about 3 seasons ago the Cork Celtic team of 73/74 were introduced to the crowd at half-time, in honour of it being 30 years since that club's only League Championship. The team was well received by both sets fans and they had a chat with a couple of the players about their memories, including Alfie Hale who was part of that side having previously won 6 titles with Waterford. Personally I enjoyed seeing some of the famous old names such as Bobby Tambling. The late Alex Ludzic was remembered too and the whole era of The Blues, Hibs and Celtic was deservedly recalled and great names like Jackie Morley, Dave Wigginton, Johnny Matthews, Peter Thomas, Miah Dennehy, Vinny Maguire and Jimmy McGeough who was managing the Blues team who were visiting that day.
Players of the past deserve to be remembered because history is something not often appreciated in the League of Ireland as it's not as well documented as elsewhere.
Cosmo,
Cork fans and double standards? Who'd have thought it![]()
Yeah, the League championship and FAI cup!Originally Posted by Maribor

When the Waterford team were being "honoured", A face wanted to slag off O'Connor. Get it? No? Too complicated?
A Cork team being honoured in Cork, at a Cork game, is acceptable.Originally Posted by Dick Long
A Waterford team being honoured in front of Cork and Drogheda is pointless and unwanted.

Pretty pointless, agreed. Unwanted? The FAI Cup Final is supposed to be a national football occasion. It's a thing they're starting from this year, honouring the Silver Jubilee winners at the actual event it's the anniversary of. How about a respectful polite clap or just ignore it and get on with reading your programme or eating your pie?
