Stuart Byrnes RTE Rant

**Mr A** · 17/11/2006, 8:45 PM

Just lost the rag on live TV. Had a massive go at Stephen Kenny and people in general and went on about how Shels were robbed!

**Poor Student** · 17/11/2006, 8:47 PM

Cringeworthy to say the least! He was even given the chance to move on and moved back to his rant. He said we won't want people like Kenny in our league and he can go off to Scotland. A real stark contrast between him and Fenlon!

Patethic! I think its a Shels tradition as i seem to remember Ollie Byrne & maybe Fenlon having a go off someone else last time they won.

They are taking gloss off their own win as they clearly deserving winners as they finished top of the league.

Two years ago Ollie went on a blubbering incoherent rant about Bohs dropping the three players, which Shels had publically announced they signed off them on the last day, against Cork.

Everyone always goes on about poor losers but that was a prime example of a bad winner, he must have forgot that Pat Fenlon had his fair bit too say as well.

what a tool....talk about ruining it for yourself!

**Paddyfield** · 17/11/2006, 9:02 PM

Someone pi$$ed on Stuart Byrne's Corn-Flakes this morning. What would he be like if he won the Euro Millions Lotto?

Sore winner!

Missed tonights game on the box, just arrived home to catch the end of Shels v Bohs. Caught Stuart Byrnes rant at the end of the game and must admit I've rarely been so disgusted. Always had a lot of time for Byrne as a player, someone who would have been at the top of my list for players to come to Pats. Not anymore. If an anyone is looking for a reason why Shels are so hated by the rest of the league, look no further than this little outburst. You'd think he'd have been happy with his team clinching the Title, but no, he has to indulge in the small time pettiness that has become the trademark of this filthy club. Telling Stephen Kenny to **** off to Scotland

. **** you Byrne, **** your poxy club. Normally the Chmapions of the league would merit congratulations, all I can offer Shels after this display is a massive two fingers. It's so similar to two seasons ago and Ollies rant in Richmond after clinching the title.You should remember lads, one of the hallmarks of Champions is being able to win with dignity, something you are sadly incapable of.

**Schumi** · 17/11/2006, 9:36 PM

It's easy to be a gracious winner, but not for some people obviously.

**wexfordned** · 17/11/2006, 9:36 PM

In my opinion this sums up everything tht stinks about Shelbourne FC. Couple of years ago Ollie slags off bohs for not playing Crowe & co. This year Stuart Byrne decides to have a go as well. I suppose with a convicted criminal as owner of your football club its hard to show a bit of class but still could at least TRY! Still I believe in karma, what goes around comes around so enjoy being champions & for the $hel$ fans here is a link you can send on to the players.

Kenny is moving up in his career will get to pit his wits against Strachan & Le Guen in Ibrox & Celtic Park. Stuart Byrne can go the church to pray that he gets paid on Friday. (Bohs better not sign that f**ker)

**onceahoop** · 17/11/2006, 9:36 PM

Was in my local club watching it. Couldn't hear a thing as a band had started up. Watching his face was enough. Maybe someone will post it on youtube. Any chance Joe Soap or will it appear on the Shels web.

**Gareth** · 17/11/2006, 9:39 PM

It was some rant

Some rant indeed. I am not sure it'll make Shelsweb for some reason lads

**Sheridan** · 17/11/2006, 9:50 PM

Great TV. Not sure what his particular gripe was with Stephen Kenny other than his behaviour after the League Cup final or just the fact that he's generally a moaning ponce like most eL managers. I don't begrudge him his rant, Shels take an incredible amount of sh1t in the media and elsewhere and have every right to give the world two fingers when they prevail. Unlike those who bitch to the press or whine on the internet, the guy went out on the field and played like an absolute lion. It's nice to see a footballer have the last word in a league in which football seems a secondary concern sometimes. He earned his rant.

**Gareth** · 17/11/2006, 9:51 PM

HE had some game. Rock solid he was. Rock solid.

**nzamcdza** · 17/11/2006, 9:56 PM

surley he and the club will be fined for this! a disgrace! I mean they bloody won the league and all he can do is complain.

Worlds worst winner.

******.

**The Sheliban** · 17/11/2006, 10:13 PM

I never heard it, so can't comment.

Was it as bad as Kenny's rant to the media about how it would be an absolute disgrace if Shels appeal were successful?

**Mr A** · 17/11/2006, 10:18 PM

Right, I know I started the thread and all but I don't think we should be overly harsh on the guy.

When Sportsmen have mikes stuck in their face at the end of a very emotional game after a very long a difficult season it's always likely that silly thing will be said. Of course that's the point I suppose.

**Terry** · 17/11/2006, 10:25 PM

No doubt that the FAI are going to sue him for that along with Derry and Kenny taken action against him too. All I can say is that he just made himself look like a right tool, the guy should have been celebrating the fact that he just won the league and not taking swipes at people.

**Gareth** · 17/11/2006, 10:33 PM

Lots of crap has been thrown at shels week in week out, and the players have not said a word. I guess the pressure cooker needs to release steam at some point. So many reasons for that rant. I still think stuart is a fine player and a very nice bloke. We have been branded cheats and all sorts during the season and as a player playing week in week out, that has got to **** you off.
