Ok well I'm sure he could have done that pretty simply without trying to seem educated on the issue, and avoided looking simple. I wouldn't mind if it was someone having a cheap dig or something, this chap was trying to act like he knew his ****.

So you're saying Shels did'nt give players inflated wages?

Even the dogs in the street know thats the case.

Only the novelty factor would have draw 15-20k to see a Bohemians v Shamrock Rovers game last night.

I already alluded to this in my post. Or were you in so much of a rush to rebut me that you didn't read it?

Getting on the high horse to extoll the virtues of the National League ("I just didnt want the LOI anywhere near the game") is wrong.

It's not a high horse. I stand by the fact I that I don't want the LOI near these games unless there is a direct benefit for the LOI. And certainly not when the obverse is true: that the game is disruptive and harmful to the league here.

Het-Field wrote: »

The National League was incrementally building in the late 1990s and early 00s, but it blew its chance by failing to upgrade, by failing to practice sound economics, and by failing to reach into communites, and making people feel part of their local club. We have got to face facts that until the leage engages in a belt and braces overhaul, then we cannot fool ourselves that the league has much virtue at all.

Thanks for the lesson, however, I don't need it. I know all this. I've criticized the league many times on this forum - in fact, I wrote this post only today.

Last night was a good night for the players, who will rarely get to take on lads like Rooney, Owen, Valencia, Vidic etc ever again. In the 1990s large revenue was generated by having the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, and Sunderland over for friendly games.

As a supporter (and paying club member) I no more care for what the platers want to do for kicks than, say, a Liverpool supporter cares about what non-international friendlies Torres wants to play in for personal reasons. All I care about is if it affects the club.

Het-Field wrote: »

The same applied last night, and if any significant amount of revenue is given back to the Airtricty League, then it cannot be a bad thing.

There will not be any increased revenue steam into the league from this game. The select X1 got leathered in front of thousands of viewers; the players or cubs got nothing for appearing and clubs like Bohs got an extra game (and an injury) four days before a top of the table game with us?

The FAI are in financial straits over the stadium and this game was to try and plug that. The profit from the game is long earmarked, I would say.

Het-Field wrote: »

Manchester United's economic plan is far more stable then people believe. United have been resident in the Champions League since 1993. The continue to amass large revenue as they qualify for the latter rounds consistently. They have won countless trophies in the top English league. They are always in the running for the top prize money, and there is no sign of this abating. They have international assets worth countless millions of pounds. An example of this would be the £80 Million paid for Christiano Ronaldo in 2009. I would even venture that Ryan Giggs would command a fee of £500,000 and Scholes could be flogged for twice that, in spite of the fact that both are on their last legs. They are a brand name which is as robust as the Dallas Cowboys, the Boston Redsox, and the Chicago Bulls. They enjoy large TV revenue from national and international broadcasters. They also have their choice of Sponsors, with groups like Vodafone, AIG and Aon paying large sums to have their names adourn the shirts. The likes of the Glazers will sell, but they will sell for a huge price, which will inevitably be paid by Middle Eastern consortia, or a consortium of Manchester United Fans, who are well backed with a strong stream of money.

Bohemians etc took the Leeds United route. They speculated on consistent success, and success in the early rounds of European Competition. This carried with it the same perils which Leeds United faces, and ultimately endured. Bohemians were not a club which enjoyed the consistent domestic success of Manchester United, and were stupid to speculate on such things. This culminated in the embarressing cap-in-hand attempt by the club to illicit their seasons prize money, before the season was even finished. They signed players on inflated wages, which could only be paid by consistent LOI Championships, and qualification for The 2nd/3rd Round of UEFA Champions League Qualifications. Many players like Glen Crowe were signed in older age, and their potential sell on value was negligible. Yes, you would occasionally find a Wes Houlihan, Richie Foran, Kevin Doyle, Stephen Hunt, Joe Gamble, Keith Fahey, Noel Hut etc, but these are the exception rather then the rule.

Manchester United fans are dissatisfied that they are not spunking out massive wads of cash on Messi, Tevez, Gyan, Huguain etc. They are greedy, nothing more and nothing less. They have the same levels of debt as teams like Real Madrid/Barcelona, but thier have a sustainable economic position based on their continued success, their brand name, and the large value player assets which they have.

This is true.

United don't exactly have a prudent financial model but they are a huge brand, generate money and are asset rich (ground, players, club, TV eights etc) and can always service their debt. Bohs don't make money and have a single compromised asset, that is, land in a moribund property market, and that's before you consider the Byzantine mess about who owns the ground.

Well, they try to get it down and play it as best they can. The problem with that approach is obviously that the off days where it doesn't click can be very grim indeed. It was the same last year in the First Division, UCD and Fingal were fun to watch all season.

Buckley was a cracking play ball type player, he and Russell are of the same vein.

Good to see they kept their playing styles as managers, reckon both will manage Pats at some stage in Buckos case again.

So its ok to get the facts completely wrong, as long as the spirit of the post is grand?

1. I meant Shane Long, not Stephen Hunt.

2.Transfer Fees were not published, it was simply what I had heard as a regular attendee at Tolka Park.

Iv really touched a nerve with you.

Let me tell you. I attended hundreds of Shelbourne matches between 1994 and today. I felt cheated when Shelbourne were being spoken of as a clapped out team, with no money to finance themselves. I felt cheated by the club when they team were booted out of the Champions League, and were lucky to hang onto the title which they won in a very competitive league in 2006. I felt cheated as I saw all the time and effort which I spent supporting Shels as being within an inch of being for nothing.

The manner in which Shelbourne was managed was a disgrace. I defy you to tell me that it wasnt. I defy you to tell me that Shelboune didnt fail on the back of speculation, and pie in the sky ambitions ? I defy you to tell me that Ollie Byrne (RIP) was good for the club. I defy you to tell me that the nights against Deportivo La Coruna was worth the pasting Shelbourne recieved from Limerick last week. I defy you to tell me that anything which happened in 2003-2006 was worth the sheer disappointment of Limerick City's last goal which condemened Shelbourne to another season in Division One ?

You are caught up in the semantics of my post. I am open to correction in terms of any transfer fees paid for the likes of Glen Crowe. I openly admit that I spoke of transfer fees on the back of in ground hearsay. I openly admit that I mistakenly referred to Shane Long as Hunt. However, the wages on which these players were signed was ludicrious, that much is true. I am also correct in accusing the likes of Ollie Byrne (RIP) as speculating, and gambling the clubs future on a Leeds United style pipe dream.

You can get as hot under the coller with me as you like about small errors which I may have made, but it doesnt detract from the fact that Shelbourne fans were taken for a ride.

CSF wrote: »

Yeah but cmon its hardly worth a post to point that out. What he posted was pretty much the equivalent of saying 'Portsmouth went into administration because they spent too much on players and wages, another major reason for their demise was because they gave Avram Grant too much money to satisfy his habit of visiting brothels'

I mean yeah Portsmouth went to bits because they pumped too much money into players and wages, and it is reported that Grant enjoys a visit to the oul sketchy gentlemans club, but I'd still look like an absolute numpty if I made the above post in anything other than a humorous manner. This chap is coming in here like he knows what he is talking about. The entire tone of the post suggests that. It is blatantly clear that he doesn't, so he should just stick to the obvious really.

What a pathetically pompous piece of rhetoric. You are suggesting that you know what you are on about, yet you have not rebutted some of my assertions. I am making a point that the National League was being run like a Governmental Department which couldnt stop spending.

Obviously I have annoyed you about something more then the semantics of my post about transfer fees. Otherwise you would have let it go. Something tells me, you just cant take seeing Shelbourne criticised.

No-one expected the Airtricity representative XI to beat Manchester United in the Aviva Stadium's first football match on Wednesday night. And while the 1-7 scoreline was hardly a ringing endorsement of the domestic league, it made a cruel kind of sense when the context of the two teams was honestly explored.

Damien Richardson, the manager of the Irish side, was right when he said that the result counted for nothing. Practically speaking it was just another one of those meaningless pre- season friendlies. There was nothing material at stake and nothing as such to be gained by either side.

Everybody knew this. So why then, with such an unthreatening background, was the Airtricity XI v Manchester United such a dispiriting experience?

Perhaps it had something to do with the enforced party atmosphere. The Aviva Stadium is now open for business but if the domestic league had one hand on the scissors as the ribbon was cut there was little doubt that our invitation owed more to good manners than a burning desire for our company. No-one really wanted us to be there and this was no where more apparent than in the RTE studio.

Chairman Bill could scarcely conceal his irritation at the evening’s obligations and, having recently struggled through a graceless World Cup, this new task of analysing a league he knows nothing about sorely tested his patience.

Richard Sadlier, drafted temporarily into the A team, was expected to somehow represent the League of Ireland and dig out the big boys with a bit of much needed local knowledge but under Bill's accusatory glare he succumbed to the evidence that was in front of us all. He was on a hiding to nothing but did make the most pertinent point of the evening; how can anyone expect the domestic league to compete in such an environment when too few people pay to go and watch it?

John Giles spent the evening in a state of benign confusion, like a favoured relative attending his granddaughters hip hop gig. Giles has been there and done that but limited his contribution to vague observations on the inequality of the teams and the oddness of the atmosphere and in doing so he was tickling the belly of the elephant in the room.

The Aviva Stadium, Ireland's brand new football stadium, was full of Manchester United fans. Fathers from Inchicore, Phibsboro, Santry and Sligo brought their sons and daughters to worship at the altar of the Red Devils, unaware and uncaring that the other team were in fact their next door neighbours.

In this age of multi-culturalism it is not a disheartening thing to hear a packed national stadium cheering a team from another country. But it is savagely disappointing to hear the cheer against a team from their own country.

In the wider context, this event will not cost the domestic league a single supporter at this weekend's league programme. Not one. But nor will it lure a single red shirted football fan to the stands at Terryland Park, The Carlisle Grounds or Turners Cross. Perhaps, as Richard Sadlier suggested, this was an opportunity lost but in reality did such an opportunity ever really exist? The fracture between the Irish football public and Irish domestic football is profound. Would one single person have been persuaded to attend a League of Ireland game if the result had been any different? And if they had come, would they have stayed?

Wednesday night's game showed us a huge community of football fans who have not only voted to support another league, but have done so to the absolute exclusion of the league that struggles to survive in their own towns and cities. As a nation we love football but so many of us want it wrapped up in gold or not at all.

There is no revelation here. But for anyone who was confused by the emptiness that permeated Wednesday night's game it is worth bearing in mind that it lifted the rock on a football community that has emphatically rejected its own and reminded those of us that cannot imagine supporting a team that we could not go and watch that we are members of an overwhelmed minority. And that is almost unbearably sad.

Your not a football fan at all.

You're a typical holier than tho LOI fanatic and tbh its all getting very boring.

embarrasing is LOI fans on here getting up in arms about the precious no one can critize league embarrasing themselves slagging off people enjoying a game of ball because they're not paying 15e to watch LOI football.

luckyloyd mentioned something about how badly conor was done and straight away someone was on his back, not even a bohs fan iirc!!!

nonsense.

Grow bleedin up and realise people enjoy things differently to you, they see things differently to you, and the only embarrasing thing in LOI football is the embarassing chips on the fans shoulders.

When I bring people out of my job or friends to LOI games I pray to god we don't come across the sort of attitudes displayed on this forum because THAT'S EMBARASSING.

Your issue is that you spend all your time putting the boot in to a league you claim to support yourself and yuk it up with your united cronies when they laugh at us.

Nobody is saying join in with the worst of the LOI bitterness (of which you have a point about) and we all savage the shortcomings of our own league, but Jaysus, you love dishing it out - when you;re not returning to Bthe ohs threads just in time for the Champions League, that is.

It must be hard being in two camps: the real Mancs laugh at the likes of you ( believe me they do) and you feel the need to put the boot into your own league at every opportunity.

No, this is the whole point, you're like it's one or the other.

I rarley put the boot into the league, sometimes the fan, yes and I have admitted the standard of football can be at times awful, (like that's news)

barstooler, fair weather whatever you want to label it as to make you feel better, I enjoy the game, in many forms and I don't let anyone else dictate to me how I should do that be that other LOI fans "mancs" or anyone else.

To be fair Trilla, when the national association decides to turn the opening of "our" fancy new stadium into a cynical exploitation of the armchair fan who are willing to shell out 50 notes to their one trip to any match this year, at the expense of, you know, promoting Irish football, and in fact sends a jokeshop outfit out to get slaughtered for the Sky TV viewing punters pleasure, christian/lions stylee, some people will get a bit ticked off.

So naturally, in time honoured fashion, and as we cannot hope to ever do anything to prevent this sort of ****e, we head to the interwebs to rant and rave in the appropriate thread, only to be informed by same Sky TV viewing spoofers that we may be wrong about one or more points weve made in said rants!

Yeah i understand 101%. But the argument seems to go on and on without compromise or solution.

I love Manchester United, I love the League of Ireland... I go to most Bohs games as much as I can. I understand completely. I really felt it to see United win in the fashion they did. It was embarrassing to see the stadium full of red jerseys shouting against a squad dominated by Irish men.

But this argument cant go on and on and on and on and on like it does

The funny thing is, like your "result" :rolleyes: in Italy last night

if united had been beating you would have been on harping on to anyone who would listen about the quality in the league.

I hear you, but the nature of this forum is that it will go on and on, unless they split it into two forums I guess.

Lol, the quality of the league is dismal this year. If we had lost 20-0 in Modena i would still be proud to have been there. I dont expect you to understand.

Why are you so interested anyway? I just looked at your posting history, you only comment on Bohs European matches. No match threads, no weekly LOI threads, nothing. You are a spoofer, the games up.

Anyways, Im off to bed. I think I have a cold from attending a football match in the rain.

Lads do you honestly think people look forward to arguments and posts like this when the drill into threads?

I really wish this boat would sail

True.

I think a détente will only happen when both sides jump first. Derogatory comments have to be phased out on both sides.

The other thread about the future of the LOI is civil and interesting on both sides, if a beaten docket but you could say that about most popular football topics.
