    No games next week lads due to the international weekend. The Sligo Rovers game is March 29th on Good Friday and then Shamrock Rovers on Easter Monday.

    Would have been nice to pick up the win on the road v Dundalk given the start they have made to the season but can't fault the lads too much.

    Into the Munster Senior Cup final after a 3-0 win over Rockmount of Cork

    Not sure what's the point of this cup

    Big loss , himself and Long were an excellent partnership.

    Will be interesting to see how he finds the step up.

    No loss whatsoever. He's still trying to use the same negative tactics that has failed him in his many tenures at WFC and others. we need to move on and when he is out on his ear the next time, he needs to be told to piss off. This is his 4th or 5th tenure at the blues. madness

    You have to be on a constant windup in this thread, I mean there's no way someone can be wrong all the time but somehow you manage it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,193 ✭✭✭✭StringerBell


    Rennie will be a big loss, in fairness he's waited for an opportunity that he couldn't turn down and this was it. Best of luck to him, he will be missed

    And the club will be compensated, which Derry wouldn't do.

    Yeah it is in fairness, mad following a club when all they do is give out about the players and staff. What an absolute waste of energy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,193 ✭✭✭✭StringerBell


    Confirmed today, all the best to him.

    Massive two home games ahead over the weekend.. Have to make Home games count.. hopefully a win tonight against a good Sligo team would set us up for a right crack at Rovers on Monday evening #BLUES



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭skaface


    Very poor performance tonight



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,590 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Yeah dissapointing and not very upbeat about us on Monday against Rovers. Rovers starting to wake up

    The movements on the table shows how competitive this division is. Duffers doing gods work in Shelbourne

    Best prepare for Division 1 next year.

    Way below the standard.

    How fantastical would a fan ownership be in its current state?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,791 ✭✭✭Smell the glove


    An absolute non runner because the 2600 who didn't know where the RSC was a few years ago will be back at home watching EastEnders as soon as we have a bad patch unfortunately.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,791 ✭✭✭Smell the glove


    We were absolute garbage tonight. Stadium was flat as well. Sligo are horrible to watch.



  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Landry Wonderful Flick


    But if people had a financial investment in it, would they not show more enthusiasm?

    Far bigger clubs and far smaller clubs than Waterford FC (I still wish it was Waterford United) are fan owned or at least majority fan owned.

    I understand the logistics of it and soccer isn't the number one sport in Ireland and all that but I think it'd be fantastic to at least try.

    Christ the whinging on social media (the supporters account on Facebook) would do your head in not all tbf a few sensible heads on there but people need a reality check. Sligo always handle themselves really well in the premier division and we saw why last night. We matched them first half, wasn't much between the 2 sides and they're very tough to play against, got a great strike for the first goal and yes we didn't play well after that but we'll have these kind of games over the season, this is a seriously tough league and we've done very well up until tonight. You can't expect to get anything from Rovers on Monday you can see we're still a side in transition with loads of new players, something that the likes of Sligo don't have to deal with. Staying up the absolute target this season anything else is a bonus.

    Loads of impatientence in the crowd as well shouting at the players to hoof it into the box and Long was dead right mentioning afterwards that the players need to be calmer on the ball and wait for spaces to open up.

    We will go on a bad runs but there was signs in certain parts in the ground during the game that there is no patience with this side, let's hope they stay away if we do go on a bad run. Long is doing a really good job, Reynolds departure probably affected things during the week.

    Also one other thing, we need a singing section, not a peep during the game last night and has been missing for the most part in the home games. The crowd needs to play their part with this side.

    The drummers in Block E badly missed...prob not allowed drums now due to over zealous stewarding



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,791 ✭✭✭Smell the glove


    Nothing to do with it. Block E basically have free reign and are well looked after by the club.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,590 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Im sure there never too down after a result and have a few 'pick me ups'

    They travel seperate to the Supporters club busses



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,613 ✭✭✭Boooourns


    Something has had to of changed there because it's been going on a while now. There used to be a great noise from that section, loads of songs and it created the much needed atmosphere. I hope whatever it is is sorted out asap, the away fans are creating all the noise at the moment.



  • Registered Users Posts: 236 ✭✭Jerry Atrick


    Exactly me thoughts too...zero atmosphere. Something had changed



  • Registered Users Posts: 188 ✭✭Deiselurker


    There have been complaints from fans in block E about the new security team being over the top there telling fans to sit down and checking their tickets to see they are in the right seats. The game on Friday night wasn't the best so that could have affected atmosphere too.

    I think that most people are happy with the current ownership. Fan ownership was discussed in general before when we in bad times but didn't go anywhere. Would enough fans be committed to it? It costs a lot of money to run a football club and you need experienced business people to do it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,791 ✭✭✭Smell the glove


    Plenty of noise from Block E today.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭skaface


    Poor defending costing us big time.. we gave Rovers too much respect today and paid the price.. Bohs Away on Friday is a big game now.. games coming fast and thick now.. hopefully we'll get Baggley back soon.. he's a massive loss to us at the moment

    Disappointing weekend for us and badly need a win against Bohs now. Issue is that Renie will know everything about us
