I heard this morning that Stuey Byrne is signing for some Scottish club, The Pars or something like that.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it a shame and indictment on our league. I think Mourinho just ranted about Celtic after winning the UEFA Cup with Porto, there was Kevin Keegan's famous rant and there's Mike Newell's sexist rant the other week. It does happen all over the place. There's a reason why there's a lot of stuff said against Shelbourne and most of it is down to their behaviour and conduct so I think it's silly to say they're somehow entitled to their rant.
He gave a lot more calm and measured interview to TV 3 after the presentation of trophies. Making many of the same points but in a cool calm and collected manner, and in fact more effectively I think, having had the chance to reflect a little and possibly even finally enjoy the title triumph.
Bad losers are hard to take, but people who are so caught up with things that went wrong that they cannot enjoy success when they finally get it, is just the flip side of everything they were moaning about in the first place.
It's as if the success cannot replace the chip they have on the shoulder about their " treatment" on the road to glory.
was in the flansiro last nite loseing fingers to the cold so obviously i didnt see the rant and we've no sound at work to watch it on you tube but i can tell you this; stuey byrne is a top man, a good pro and a quality footballer and if you'd had to put up with what he and the other shels players have had to youd need to let off some steam aswell. some of the cork fans on here condeming him would do better than to look at the professionalism of some of the players who were in their league winning team, ala kearney and o'callaghan
lets not forget the players are innocent in this whole mess that is shels; they've been nothing but professional all year and have had to put up with non payment of wages, being called cheats and possible loseing their jobs. its not their foult that ollie has got shels into the mess their in.
some people in longford have not forgot the way stephen kenny left us to go to bohs - mid season and relegation threatened, and frankly he's done the same to derry so lets not put him on a big pedastil, call him untouchable and condemm anyone who says a word about him. stuey played in that longford team under kenny aswell, lets not forget that. by all means it was ill timed, and probable a bit jibberish, but just maybe he's earned that right, he has after all been one of the best players in this league over the past few years and a fantastic example of how to play the game with guts and determination. if roy keane were to make that kind of outburst, we would all be applauding his tanacity and will to win.
arent we all just magic little monkeys...
I think he was referring to the fact that they got 3 more points than Derry did against Dublin City.Originally Posted by Redzer
It seems Shels were motivated the same way Pat's were when they had the 15 point deduction.
As for a Dublin City fan posting about rats leaving a sinking ship you have to be saying that tongue in cheek!
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"

Wow that was crazy!! Don't think the studio knew what to make of that especially Roddy, observant as always : "eh......i tink he was a bit angry"

Slightly ironic abuse from Byrne to Kenny, given that it was Kenny that saved his career by bringing him to Longford and allwoing him to develop into the player he is. Without that Byrne would not be at Shels let alone winning medals as his career had stalled. Thats gratitude fro you I guess.
Have yis thought why he said what he said??? All I can say is, well said, everything said about that príck Kenny is true, wait till you know the facts before spouting on about his character!
FORZA SHELS! CHAMPIONS 2006!!!
Sitting pretty!!!
Given the manner the league have given fines out to Managers this season Byrne has to be sanctioned. If (I suppose i should say when) he isn't brought up on charges for that outburst will onlt further confirm the bias towards Shels by the eL.
I could excuse Byrne if he was a kid but he is very experienced pro & should know better.
So Kenny is a ***** then? So wot is Ollie Byrne? Did you see Kenny dragging the league through the ****e by threatening court? NO!! Did you see Kenny giving a two finger salute to opposition fans? NO!! The fact is not one Shels fan can sit and give off about any club when they're own are in a mess they are in. Can't even pay your own player. All i will say is enjoy your sucess because it will be the last time in a while before you have success again!!Have yis thought why he said what he said??? All I can say is, well said, everything said about that príck Kenny is true, wait till you know the facts before spouting on about his character!
FORZA SHELS! CHAMPIONS 2006!!!
Thanks, will do.
The sports team from my area is superior to the sports team from your area.
heard about stewies interview at the match last nite from a close friend in cork that was watchin the match! i have not seen the interview yet im a bit surprised by what he said after all mr kenny brought him to longford town and he was in the wilderness up at crusaders. he would do well to remember that.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

Fooking heroic
Was Georgie fined or reprimanded for his far worse and far more offensive "All Shels are scum" outburst? If not, does that just confirm the League's pro-Cork bias?Given the manner the league have given fines out to Managers this season Byrne has to be sanctioned. If (I suppose i should say when) he isn't brought up on charges for that outburst will onlt further confirm the bias towards Shels by the eL.

I don't remember that. Can you direct me to the live tv interview?
How anybody could try to defend Byrne or find his comments amusing is beyond comprehension. He has added fuel to the fire on why EVERYBODY outside Drumcondra hates Shelbourne. A club which are lacking in dignity. Winners do so by grace and honour. He should take example from his manager who was dignified in his interviews. Stuart Byrne should be ashamed of himself and should apologise to Stephen. How ironic that it was Stephen who helped enhance his career at Longford.
Congratulations to Shels on winning (except to Ollie and his lovechildren Stuart and the skooligans)
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
Ah, so you can say what you like, provided its not live on TV??
Interesting submission, m'lud.

He was obvioulsy paid by umbro for that rant. Sellout.
Worse example of this is Rovers getting fned €5k for two pitch invasions in Athlone while Shels getting nothing for their two in Richmond. I'm not saying they should be fined but where's the consistency
