LOI - Week 5

Great spot kiddo.

Huge talent. Sees a pass, can dribble, score & has loads of heart.

And still only 19.

Convinced me. Stuck 10e/w on him.

Good luck.

I notice Lads have cut him from 33's into 8's!

Palp email on the way perhaps.

Wexford look a great bet versus bottom club Mervue, I'd have Wexford at odds-on.

had a few quid on a Shamrock Rovers clean sheet, Janssen gave me a heart attack

The defenders appreciated his efforts.

Toto cleaned up on Wexford

Well we got the price, Horgan just didn't read the script.

He got the assist for the 1st goal and was the most likely all night.

Great spot again.

Great few days for the Hoops, beat Bohs and Kilcoyne's dead

^ Very tasteful remark you fool.

A vile remark.

MJK that's very poor taste.

No place for those comments anywhere.

Why would you say that? And then to put a laughing smiley after it, what sort of fool are you?

Surely it is obvious,MJK is a Shamrock Rovers supporter and the Kilcoynes sold out that club.

So what, it doesn't excuse it

You can`t stop MJK thinking and it would be hypocritical if he were to lament the passing of a sworn enemy of a host of football supporters.
It is a bit of black humour and ye shouldn`t be over sensitive.

MJK has shown himself up by laughing about the mans death, nothing to do with being over sensitive. It was not in the least humourous either. The man has family he has left behind and it is not nice to see some sad bitter football fan laughing at their loss.

Would it be alright if he had no family.
When you say not humorous you mean not humorous to you.
While there is personal sadness in any death if you don`t know them personally it is insincere to be feigning grief.

I never feigned grief, i had to google the man to see who he was. However it is wrong to laugh about his death and taking joy in it makes the person an odd individual.

You're in your usual arguementative mood so i'll leave the thread as i can't be arsed conversing with you.

mmm I seem to have struck a bad chord with some people. Wildman I appreciate your efforts to explain the situation but being in the Country we're in it goes above peoples' heads unless it was to do with Man Utd or Liverpool. I wouldn't usually express anything but sympathy when someone from the football world dies but in Kilcoyne's case I make an exception.

Just a regular Rovers fan.
Were,are and always will be SCUM.

MJK......No need to play the hard done by real Irish soccer fan card........I'm sure most of us knew the story before we commented on your post......Widman is entitled to his opinion.

Sadly Gant when it comes to Rovers none of you are impartial so get off your high horse. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Tallaght on friday Giant, or where you one of the many who didn't bother?

as a rovers fan i for one will not be upset of the death of this horrible man who nearly killed our beloved club,if people dont know the full story they should not try and take the high ground on this matter,as a matter of interest giant what would your stance be if he did this to bohs?oh and id twigg for goal scorer against the forces of darkness

I don't know how I'd react but a quarter of a century later I'd like to think I'd have moved on.

ONE LOUIS KILCOYNE, THERE'S ONLY ONE LOUIS KILCOYNE ............

if that happened to bohs and you accepted it after that length of time id say your a part time fan because a true bohs fan would never forgive and forget

We are used to strokes being pulled in Ireland but what Kilcoyne did was wrong in so many ways.Shamrock Rovers rented Glenmalure Park from the Jesuits for a nominal rent,Kilcoyne went to the Jesuits saying he had plans for a new stand and asked them for help they agreed and sold the ground to him for a nominal fee,he applied for planning permission the next day and got it in dubious circumstances.
The most amazing thing about this affair after showing such disloyalty he was later elected president of the F.A.I.

as you said wildmanfromborneo it could only happen in ireland,sad but true,

It wouldn't surprise me if you never even set foot in the place huddys.
My guess is your no older than 30 which would make your memories vague at best.
Life moves on.
You've risen from the ashes of the debacle and landed on your feet.
At least acknowledge and be grateful for the good that came of it.
KRAM!!!

Nobody has asked on here for any Shamrock Rovers fan to mourn his death.
Nobody has asked on here for any Shamrock Rovers fan to be saddened by his death.

However show and bit or decency and decorum and say nothing.

I am not a Shamrock Rovers fan although i noticed Workrider,Huddys and MJK are and as these are patently decent men i have a soft spot for Rovers.I was also struck by what the Spurs official said after the match in White Hart Lane when he said " we wouldn`t buy any of your players but we would love to have those fans"
Giant Strides understands the situation well as his post of 8.22 shows,he is a rival fan so his praising of Kilcoyne would show the depth of feeling against him.

Great few days for the Hoops, beat Bohs and Kilcoyne's dead

Decent men don't make posts like that, decent men don't defend posts like that.

in my opinion ^^

In the saccharine world of Premier Fantasy no one would hold a grudge and we would all speak nicely of each other,a standard form of any rhetoric is to overstate your case so try asking a Jew what he thinks of Hitler.

Hitler ordered the murder of loads of Jews. How many Shamrock Rovers fans did this Kilcoyne man order the murder off?? Bit of a difference.

Please don't be so stupid.

To be fair the man was hardly cold,sticking up a smiley face isn,t right at all,don,t know the full story here but feck me surely such hatred isn,t justified so soon after his death.

Did you not read the whole post "standard form of any rhetoric is to overstate your case" so at least take it in context.
Pa Lapsy i thought it was an attempt at black humour although i must admit i never quite understand those cartoon faces.

don,t think its black humour at all wildman and while i won,t expect a blue sad face. thought the smiley (like premier) is very inappropiate.

Pa Lapsy i accept your point but both MJK and Huddys are good posters so obviously this is deep also there is a lovely irony in Giant Strides post where he tells Huddys to get over it yet still uses his name in a wounding chant.
There is another huge irony in that Kilcoyne having looted their sole asset went on to lead the F.A.I. and also the fact that now Shamrock Rovers have a brand new stadium and the other clubs seem to be losing theirs.

.....It is clear what is happening here..wildmoronfromborneo likes MJK and Huddys so he is defendeding them to the hilt despite it being clear to everyone else that MJK at least is in the wrong with his disguisting post.....wilmoronfromborneo does not like p_r_e_m_i_e_r__f_a_n_t_a_s_y so is going to argue it with him constantly like he always does.....the man is a deranged moron.....

^ Think to be fair he is saying don,t be two-faced.

I like and respect Premier Fantasy and you may notice that there is no name calling in my posts,it is possible to have different opinions without falling out.
I neither like or respect you Shaneboy because of your past which you paraded on here,i have some sympathy for you in that you obviously had no friends or family to turn to hence the pathetic bleatings here.

Ignore him he'll be at me next week his mood changes more than the Irish weather

Wildfool and Shaneboy are the same person, never logged on at the same time and make the spelling errors as each other.

A schizophrenic moment for Rocketfingers, two posters he hates in combat so to avoid complications fantasise that they are one.

Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors were what give you away wildbore. Now back to baby infants with you

the fact that now Shamrock Rovers have a brand new stadium and the other clubs seem to be losing theirs.

The commonly held misconception with the general public.
South Dublin County Council own the stadium so they RENT a brand new stadium.
And who are the other clubs that are losing theirs btw!?

KRAM!

It seemed ironic to me but i take your point about the stadium being rented.
I read somewhere that Bohemians were trying to sell their stadium,something i would regret,but will accept your version.

We may be forced to sell, but that's out of our hands and is unlikely to materialise in the foreseeable future according to my sources. 
Back in the real world, the vast majority of our fans accept and realise that maintaining an old stadium in a built up area is financial suicide. We need to demolish the terracing  because it's not safe. But it will cost too much so pointless doing it. It's not like we're going to build another stand there (planning issues abound) and fill it. Rovers are the big draw and then can only fill one stand in their biggest game. 
That's exactly what Rovers would have had to deal with too.
This chapter closed a long time ago. Long before our hero passed. KRAM!!!

Presumably your fans live in the area so you kind of have to have a stadium in a built up area,i am a traditionalist and so lament the closing down of old landmarks,i realise i can do this in the luxury of not having to provide any of the finance.
At the risk of upsetting others surely Lottery funds can be applied for.

Don't get me wrong, most of us would much prefer to stay in Dalymount but it's simply not realistic long term.
Wr used to have a go at us about it. Don't think it's not depressing for us too.
Moving to a new base in the north suburbs to tap into the locals like Rovers have done is the only way forward.
Did you know that Cabra, Phibsborough and Drumcondra combined have the most amount of elderly people in the entire country.
Many of our fans that were from the area like my friends, were priced out of it when buying during the boom.
The National Lottery only give money to GAA clubs!

They also give money to hockey and cricket clubs so crowd wise you lads should get a slice.......Surely some GAA club could rent out their training pitch to you lads.

Sligo Rovers rent their training pitch to the county GAA team and local club teams, so they can gallop round the place doing their training, they would have nothing like the facilities we have, we also rent it to the hockey club in Sligo.

I suppose that is realpolitic but i find it sad,all your history and tradition is in that area.I understand the point of the younger fans moving out but surely they should look on Dalymount Park as their history and their connection with the old area.

Nice to see the professional set ups help out the amateur teams in the locality.

I bet the GAA lads don't have to use the gym in the clarion hotel.
I hear the new multi million euro GAA centre of excellence on the strandhill road will be amazing.

Yes it's looking well gant, 5 years on and they have a rally cross course :D, i predict Rovers will still be doing ok from their facilities from various clubs for a while. I'd love to know where all the grants goes these other sports get?

Are clubs that pay fulltime wages (well 40 weeks and sign on for 12) eligible for funding.

we are a semi professional club, we're not fulltime but if players think what we pay is enough to live off then great, good for them.

Do you have any players that hold down a fulltime job like some of the Dublin clubs........Meals on wheels deliveries does not count that's only for the semi-pro foreign lads at shamrock rovers....as per workrider.

giant im 36 and my dad brought me to glenmalure all the time when i was a kid so your wrong with what you said,remember the time we played celtic in europe,the play was rocking we had a great chance to beat them,

oh and dont forget louis kilcoyne was ticket touting during the world cup in 1990 and was arrested,it only took the fai til 96 to throw him out of the fai,that is a fact,and giant if i was you id be more concerned at the board thats running bohs the way they blew millions after they got their money than slag rovers,your showing yourself up as a bitter bohs fan,

The high and mighty have spoken again.
Rovers. The recession club!!!
KRAM

For once in my life I find myself in support of the hula hoops (and no, I'm not mellowing in my old age!) regarding this, http://www.srfc.tv/blog/2012/04/04/important-announcement-regarding-live-streaming/
A scandalous decision by that little Hitler Fran Gavin to stop Rovers streaming home games.
I watched our Leinster Cup game on it recently and was impressed by the commentators lack of bias (Phillip Greene would be turning in his grave )
The FAI shooting themselves in the foot yet again. Bunch of p####s.
Once RTE aren't showing it then they should be allowed do what they want to promote their club and the league.

and alot of oversea's fan will be lost without the services,that just sums up the fai
