Can somebody PLEASE find this baby his bottle, otherwise his bitter, salted tears might short-circuit this entire site!

And for what it's worth IMO: Rodgers, Pender, Whelehan, Brennan, McGill, Crowley, Collins, Freeman, and possibly McCarthy are Premier Division standard, with a few (Sheilo, Rooney, McDonnell, Keely) that I'll reserve my judgement on until I see them in 2006. And for me that's not a bad basis of a team who's only obligation is to survive...

All the smaller Prem clubs have bit part players/squad players/journeymen, so we can't expect the Harlem F@cking Globe Trotters

You have yet to point out where your 'roots' are, wheres your home, have you even got a home?

Id have alot more respect for them if they had a local community they represented just like the rest of the dublin teams but instead they try and play it cute and say their representing the whole of dublin, it just wont work. They are a rootless club and in my opinion a pointless club, simply a tarnish on the League.

There's a simple solution to that, just call them Home Farm like me, as everyone knows what you're talking about. Why? Because it's
effectively the same club.

Not effectively the same club - it IS the same club.

And if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, ask them when Dublin City got elected to the league in Home Farm's place....

yawn,

have you nothing better add to the debate.

**Drumcondra Red** · 08/01/2006, 9:46 AM

At least they've got vision for the future!

RR, wasn't Ollie's ban from the pitch and not the actual stadia?

**Dr.Nightdub** · 08/01/2006, 12:36 PM

Unlikely, considering Ollie would have no business being on the pitch or in the dugout in the first place.

Nothing wrong with ambition or having high objectives. Dolan used to come out with much the same kind of stuff when he was managing us. However, stating objectives without a plan of how and when they'll be achieved is just so much hot air.

Maybe Seery just hasn't been around the eL long enough for reality to sink in. Last season was, what, CHF's fourth year of existence? I dunno how long Longford have been in the League, but while they've certainly consolidated themselves and made huge progress on and off the pitch, they're still light years from the kind of level Seery's talking about.

So far, Seery's talking a big game - Dolan Lite, that's the height of it.

**Raheny Red** · 08/01/2006, 1:02 PM

I could be mistaken DR, but I'm sure I read it somewhere that he had a ground ban.

Would you ever read a f@cking book or something? Perhaps start with "Spot the Dog" and work upwards, because your vocabulary on this (and any other DC issue) is increbibly stunted and boring, get a life and support your own bloody team.

The classic response of someone who's defeated in an arguement - resort to personal insults....

I'll busy myself when you and all the other Continuity Home Farm fans stop trying to force your pipe-dream on everyone else, and once and for all admit that either one of the following is true regarding your club :

a) That you're not a new club, and are just Home Farm in another guise.

If the answer to this is 'no' then the following is, by default, true instead :

b) That you're in the league 'illegally' as you weren't elected into it according to its rules.

Time to stop deluding yourself and everyone else. Decide which of the above 2 sceanrios is correct, tell us all, and then I'll happily read Spot the Dog to you before putting you to bed at night.

P.S. To highlight the irony of you criticising "my vocabulary" on this issue, and suggesting I indulge in remedial reading - whilst you would have had a point in stating that my arguement on the legitimacy of CHF in the league is repetitive, my "vocabulary" certainly isn't. There's a more than subtle and obvious difference.

**Maynard** · 09/01/2006, 5:59 PM

Defeated in an arguement? I wasn't aware that merely repeating the same boring slurs at a club in general ammounted to the structures of an arguement...? How exactly is this "arguement" resolved? "Yes I support Home Farm" perhaps? Well I don't..."Ok so my club doesn't actually exist and is taking the place of some exctremely well run regional club that is knocking the eL's door down year upon year only to be denied purely because my non-club exists (in some sort of transient vacum obviously) and is stopping the eL from expanding" ? Well that's bullsh1t as well. In short you are full of it, and if you think spouting the same two lines of mind-numbing diatribe constitutes and arguement then you should become a f@cking politcian. If you think that you are going to get me back on a barstool with the thousands of other "football supporters" in Dublin then you are very much mistaken, and similarly if you think that your comments are going to get me to run out on the club that I have experienced middling highs and plumetting lows with in the past 4 years and supported throughout, in favour of one of the other Dublin teams that don't represent me or where I'm from then you are again, very much mistaken.

You can argue away to your hearts content, but you will not stop the club I (and believe it or not, some others also

) support from existing and it's people like you that give us the fuel to not give up on our club no matter how difficult things get. I won't waste any more of my time on this psuedo discussion as my opinion has been made clear on more than one occasion. As above I recommend you invest your energies in your own club and let me look after mine.

Good to hear - better you lot and ronan seery doing what you're at than doing that.

Like ffs I would love if both UCD and Dublin weren't in the Premier League, and a couple of other teams with big support from around the country got promoted.

But they're there on merit - if 2 clubs with sh!t support can do it, I can't see why its not possible for the likes of Finn Harps, Galway, Craptown, etc to do it?

Dublin City are here on merit, so live with it and hopefully other clubs from around the country can learn a thing or 2 from them get promoted, send the both down (no offence dublin or UCD supporters

)and we've more country teams with decent suppot in the Premier League

Never mind that i should become a politician - you're proving expert at refusing to answer a question you don't want to face yourself. Instead you've gone down the usual "we shall not be deterred by you and your like, I'm not going back to my barstool, yedda, yedda, yedda" rant.

So I'll put my question very clearly to you again, and see if you try to dodge out of answering it yet again. One or other of the following situations must be true with regards Dublin City. Which one is it :

a) That you're not a new club, and are just Home Farm in another guise.
If so, then drop all this 'new club' bullsh!t.

However - if the answer to a) is 'no' then the following must, by default, be true instead :

b) That your club is in the league 'illegally', as it wasn't elected into it according to its rules.

In case you try to dodge the question yet again by giving out the aul "I don't have to answer to you, blah blah" response - the only reason why this is ever asked about Dublin City is because there are genuine question marks over the legitimate presence of your club in our league. Not from an on-the-pitch footballing perspective, but from an off-the-pitch administrative and legislative one. Here is an opportunity for you and any other Dublin City fan to solve that situation by giving us an answer to the above question.

FFS lads! I wrote this post (5th post of this thread). Forget why they shouldn't be in the league now....they are here now so just face it

!

DCFC seem to have great vision for the future. Good luck to them, they may not succeed but at least they are trying to reach for the top! If they do fail in their attempt they will at least know they tried and gave it their. What's the point being involved in football if you are not going to set high standards??
