Friendly Against Sheffield United

[Ash]

Cant believe Longford didnt win that game! If they had a striker
they would have netted 3 or 4 at least.

Wouldn't have a clue if Sheffield Utd had many of their first team
out but whoever they had on the pitch were absolutely brutal!

Decent enough crowd so hopefully it'll bring in a a nice lump of cash.

What was the score?

[passinginterest]

It was 1-0 to Sheffield and according to the RTE match report Longford murdered them

Sheffield didn't manage a single shot on target in the second half.

So proof positive that the worst team in the Eircom Premier can compete with teams from EPL and Championship

According to the Sheffield United lads they had nine first team regulars playing.

Interesting season for them in Championship coming up so...

Yeah they were decidedly pessimistic about their chances of going up, "we might make the play offs" was the general feeling.

Jaysus, I'd have thought that after that performance they'd be lucky not to
get relegated!!!!

Quite proud when i heard that result. Fair play! Great stuff recruiting a few Sheffield United fans for Friday too! Shame the fanzine didnt come out though.... did they sing their 'Chip Butty' song?

Didnt hear much singing apart from the Section O gang and the odd
shout of "Longford (clap clap clap)" from the stand when ye came close
to scoring.

The Sheff fans in the corner of the uncovered stand started singing something
but I couldnt hear them properly.

there was around six sheff utd supporters in bray on fri nite. fair play to them for cumin down, they were chanting with us at the end! they have to still play portadown they were tellin me.

Yeah the lads had been staying in Dublin since Wednesday. They all said they had a brilliant time in Longford and would definitely be following our progress with interest!
