From reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal it's the name of the place and sounds ridiculous to mention gate without water!Originally Posted by John83
It's like saying $hel$ are from condra instead Drumcondra.

Ollie Byrne looking to have the league postponed, basically until he gets his own way, is scandalous, but no more than we've come to expect from this low life. Anyone else think the rest of the clubs should call his bluff if he tries this, and simply refuse to complete the season ? It's time people stood up to him.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Why didn't he appeal Hargangate at the time? There must be a timeframe for appeals and he must be an interested party, (which they are now).
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
Shels are from Ringsend.
FTH
League should be extended by a minimu of 3 weeks. Cup final should be played on christmas eve

Look at it logically and read previous postsFunniest post of all time
Shels from Ringsend must make Oilly the chief ars@hole !!!!!!
Yeh, looked at it again and I'm still laughing at you. Can we call this the LeixlipRed slags BohsFans watergate?Look at it logically and read previous posts
farce
league farce
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the whole league is descending into farce now, between no refs showing up early in the season at ucd, to pat kelly runnin the referees with his 2 sons getting all the big television fixtures even despite the fact that one of them alan (a utd hater) awarded a goal kick for a clear goal in a game this season,
to now the situation where the league may not even finish because of a 3 pronged court threat that big fat ollie byrne from shels has issued. its no coincidence that 2 galway men are at the top running the eircom league that lleft massive damage at utd some years back. how limerick and athlone pass uefa standards is laughable. is the league really dead or on its last legs. and all of a sudden john delaney declares "its nothing to do with the fai" .
its time for supporters to rise up across the country
I really believe that it's time for the clubs to rise up, rather than the fans. Our voice counts for extremely little in matters relating to the FAI or league in general. Look what the rift between the top clubs in England and the FA/Football League did for football there. The EPL is not at all what I want our league to turn into, but lessons have been learned, and there appears to be a damn sight less maladministration in England than there is here.
Even if we got a bunch of decent consultants in to help in the draft of a revised rule book it'd be a leap in the right direction. We can't have these stupid legal scenarios hanging over us forever.
The league is a joke at the minute, and it's not gonna be any better this time next year unless the clubs start flexing their collective muscle. A league needs clubs, and a FA needs a league. Long Live the Revolution!

Eugh, just realised I advocated the use of over paid consultants.... Just shows how bad the situation has got I suppose.

we could organise a centre circle protest before each of the last home games of he season in all the grounds. if we had 15 in each ground we could make a point about he mismangement of the league
That was last year BTW.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
I've always thought it was a stupid way to name your scandals - Watergate wasn't about Nixon's reckless abuse of water!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...gate%22_suffix
My favourites are probably 'Squidgygate' and 'Nipplegate'The Watergate scandal left such an impression on the national and international consciousness that many scandals since then have been labeled with the suffix "-gate" — such as Koreagate, Contragate, Whitewatergate, Travelgate, Rathergate, "Zippergate", Filegate in the U.S., Tunagate in Canada, Dianagate/Squidgygate and Thatchergate in the UK, and even Pemexgate and Toallagate in Mexico and Narcogate in Argentina.
Byrne is digging a massive hole for himself, and if he is as smart as he thought he was he would realise that the decision has been made about Derry's Hargan fiasco and can not now be brought up again!
