Shelbourne tribute suggestions

**wexfordned** · 23/02/2007, 4:35 PM

As Shelbourne's chairman has resigned & they are releasing a statment this eveing it would it appear the club will be no more. I think it only appropriate that all remaing clubs acknowledge this event for the first game of the season. (Obviously Kildare wont be able )

I feel a minutes silence or perhaps like in Italy one minutes clapping to mark their demise ?

How about at 7:45 on March 9th, every supporter at a LOI game shouts "Told you so!"

**TheSaint2002** · 23/02/2007, 4:41 PM

or perhaps more appropriately Champagne and party poppers for all !!!!
The old saying reap what you sow never rang more true.

at least the lemons will go well with the bottles of Fosters Twist - seeing as that seems to be the only discussion that Shels fans are concerned with this evening on their forum.

"Lads - our club is just about to go to the wall - let's talk about niche beers instead!"

I wouldn't get too far ahead of myself if I were you...

And no shels fan has ever called for UCD to be put out of the league.

May I propose a minute's sustained laughter before kick off in the first round of games?

This is a great League. The Champons are relegated. The promotion play-off winners are not promoted. The losers are. And of course, another club, who didn't make the play-off's, are duly promoted.

What next? Soccer on Croker?

I thought we were amalgamating all the "lets all laugh at Shels" threads?

I'll merge them all if you spare us another poem

Thats a great post. I was explaining exactly this to a german that was over on business the other day and I think he thought I was after been on the sauce all morning

Well, the biggest chant tonight in Dalyer was 'Let's all laugh at Shelbourne' ; must have been odd for Owen Heary and, to a lesser extent, Crowe

Lads lay off Shels. They have paid the debt. I been thinking about this for the last few weeks and I for one don't want to see Shels go out of existance. The vast majority of Shels fans are exactly the same as every other LOI fan. They love their club and I'm sure they are disgraced with the way Ollie etc ran it and the state they have left it in.It is not their fault some g*b****e ran their club into the ground in a effort to make a name for himself.

In the late 90's the Finn Harps board of the time almost ran the club I love out of existance amounting huge debts of several hundred thousand in the process and most of the fans knew little or nothing about this at the time. It only the hard work of dedicated fans working in their free time that saved the club and has seen up climb back up the ladder to a brigher future.

Blame Ollie and his Cronies.
Blame the FAI.

But leave Shels and their fans alone.

Correct. Why do Shels fans - instead of actually doing something about their club - just sit around moaning and maintaining that it could have happened to any other club??? Why do they think that everyone is as THICK as Ollie Byrne? Rovers is one of the best-run clubs in the country. Shels was/is a joke. Notice the difference???

No, they haven't

The inaction of Shels fan over the last number of years, nevermiond the last few months means they are at fault too.

Also Ollie had a full board behind him (including Flood and Browne) for the majority of their overspending days.

In no way can they claim to be innocent victims

**Anto McC** · 24/02/2007, 9:40 AM

Shels situation isn't as simple as Rovers. There is a football ground to the value of millions of euros involved but sure we'll raise enough money in the next few days,Give OK back what he's owed and a bit more for his trouble and tell him to be on his way
