Only on foot.ie...

Was thinking that myself. The NLSA should try to get involved.

Good idea. If there's an NLSA person here, could they please PM me.

Apologies to Sheridan for taking this long to bite but I've only just noticed this blatant piece of class-snobbery. So what if he's working class and speaks with a Dublin accent. Is that something to be ashamed of?

He's done more for football in this country than you, Rocky and all the rest of Deceased FC will ever do or have ever done.

Oh and by the way, he got his wish. Deceased FC may not have died screaming but die you did. Other than us winning the 1st it was easily the best thing to happen this season. You're a ridiculous snob, nothing more and nothing less. Alroite bud?

The laughable thing about that post is that I'm more working-class than either of you could ever aspire to be. Doesn't necessarily betoken vulgarity.

Anyway, like I said, if my obsessive fans could PM their abuse to me in future, I'm sure everyone would thank them. I can at least offer a proxy outlet for that itch you can never, ever scratch.

BTW, Diddley, I think this is a very worthwhile enterprise and would encourage everyone to attend. I just got the impression that some were overestimating its scope and remit.

Sorry Sheridan, I got the wrong end of the stick entirely. I thought you said it was 'some bloke flogging a book, a couple of rent-a-quotes and a two-bit hack with a one-way ticket to the gravy train.'

But thanks for the kind words.
When are you going to get over things and become a Bohs fan, as someone has suggested?

Erm, the fans representatives will be the people in attendance no?

My god man, listen to yourself, you have serious delusions of grandeur!

Whatever your feelings towards SRFC (plainly obvious anyway i'd have thought at this stage) at least have the decency to accept the fact that whatever the circumstances when push came to shove we were there to stop our club from ceasing to exist, the playoff defeat was a mere blip in the long history of the club, it appears to be the ONLY thing of note ICBINHFRIP can refer to in their blink of an eye history! I know what i'd prefer!!

No doubt your tiresome tirade against all things SRFC & its supporters/directors etc will continue, in reality though by continuing this diatribe the only loser here will be you, fact is i know not of one SRFC supporter that cares about your extinct franchise even remotely close to your 'hard on' for Rovers, that says it all!!

See you at the book launch, ...oops sorry, debate!! I assume you'll be the one with the shiny new Bohs scarf!

That's not the asame as having a speaker's presence on the panel Gareth.

It would be like exclusing Fianna Fail from Questions and Answers, and saying 'sure the audience can be the Fianna Fail rep'....

.

I'm puzzled by this:
1) How do you know if you're more working class than either JB or WAR? what are your criteria? and how do you know either or both or them 'aspire' to being working class anyway?
2) Being working class 'doesn't necessarily betoken vulgarity' - well, if vulgar means 'of the people' then in a way it does; if you mean JB is 'Vulgar' because he has a Dublin accent, whereas you have somehow risen above such a low accent, then WAR's accusation of snobbery would appear to stand

Just a reminder that the class war, sorry, debate, is on this Thursday, November 30.
There's been a bit of confusion elsewhere, with some thinking that it happened last week.
