I'm not saying that you would be afraid of them much to the contrary. I only love a good physical challenge.

It's the refs that get intimidated that's the point I'm making. They get away with alot more in their pitch than they would at any other pitch in town.

Are you saying that some of those involved with Shelbourne would carry on the way they do in their place, away from home???

They have Home games left against Park,Prospect,St Pats,Pike, Shels
Away : Murroe, Abbey, Croom,

Yeah thats right...we have 7 out of 9 points in those games but have dropped points at home to teams we should have been beating. Still have some very tough games left. It really is anyones at this stage.

Well they behaved when they came up to us. I don't believe half the crap I hear about Shels. They have a few good lads and a couple of fiery lads but they seem to get labelled the team from Hell!! One of them went in hard on me in our game and I was hurt. Several of their players were asking if I was ok and were very sporting about it. However I do agree with you that refs get intimidated. I've seen it happen myself. They are just human and it's not an easy job..

It's an easy job when you give it to Trevor Hoare (Ref) He takes no crap from no one and he also send you off at the blink of any eye if he thought you were there to do someone !

Have you played away to Shelbourne yet?? If not, then hold your judgement until then.

The way 3 or 4 of them carried on against us after our game on a public street a few weeks back, is nothing short of shocking.

Like I said before, the majority of their players are fine but they have 3 or 4 that really take the biscuit.

Even their own players said so after the game.

I'm beggining to guess the link now lads.
I know one of you, but the other is slowly falling into place.

Rangers to win so with home advantage at Ibrox

**the sparks** · 15/03/2008, 7:22 AM

this is my first post so would just like to say a lot of the shels team are mates of mine and theres a couple of ye in here seem to really have it in for them,in my opinion every team has a few players that are fiery and shels are no different and about that game in knockainey i was there it was the home team that started that shels were 3-1 up with 5 mins left in a semi final so why would they want to start a fight,knockainey knew what they were doin coz when shels got thrown out they went on to win the cup,goes to show next time your losing a match to shels try and get it abandoned chances are they will get the blame

**the sparks** · 15/03/2008, 7:29 AM

and just a quick note to abbeyvale i read on one of your posts that only one shels player would be able for premier keith o donnell,what about damien leo the man has three irish caps has won 2 premier leagues with balla in fact he was the reason they won their first one in nearly 20 years he got player of the season his first season with them when they won it,he also got man of the match in their fai junior quater final and semi final whaen they were unlucky to lose to st michaels,the only reason he left balla was because he couldnt give them the commitment the wanted they have already asked him back for next season,so when you hace the awards and the recognition that man has come back and tell me he is not able for pemier football.....

**the sparks** · 15/03/2008, 9:35 AM

sorry bout that abbeyvale just realised it was gaidin that said that not you,anyway i should of also pointed out that stephen leo played the last few years in the premier with ball and the cronin brothers are 2 fine players the younger ger would give any defence in any league a hard time
