What a result. I couldn't get to waterford for the match (no car, and my lift ehm ehm fell through;) but I had the peno's live through a mobile connection. It sounded like a thriller in the RSC, people shouting, and screaming. Thats what we need. I hope this result will build the support base for the team, and get more people going to the games. Com'on the Blues, bring on the Ramblers!
What was attendance ?
Are there many going down to Cobh
Does anybody know anybody(s) from the "pale"
region going to Cobh for the match interested in sharing a car or getting a bus if enough interest could be mustered ?
The attendance on tuesday night was repoted at 3,000 which wasnt bad. Thousands will surely make the trip to cobh to see the blues with a carnival atmosphere assured.
what club did the ballboys come from on Friday night?
One of them nicked my mobile phone and another one was drinking my drunk mates whiskey.Can we get these lads on the running track to do a job on Eddie Foley next time he's officiating.why does this little bastard follow us around?
I WAS TOLD BY A MEMBER OF THE GROUNDSTAFF
THAT AN ELABORATE SWITCH TOOK PLACE ON FRIDAY
NIGHT JUST BEFORE THE GAME. ONE OF THE BALLBOYS WAS
KIDNAPPED, STRIPPED NAKED, GIVEN A LINESMANS
SUIT AND A FAKE MOUSTACHE AND TOLD TO DO THE
LINE OR THE FLAG WOULD BE SHOVED UP HIS HOOP.
A BALLBOY RESEMBLING EDDIE FOLEY WAS SEEN RUNNING
AFTER FOOTBALLS ON THE RUNNING TRACK ALL NIGHT.
THIS INCIDENT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE GARDAI.

That is the question,
Do we need another year in Div 1 as PP thinks or do we need to go up this year?

HEY LADS I THINK 1ST DIVISION SOCCER HAS GONE TO YOUR HEADS. STRUTTING AROUND RUBYS etc LIKE SOME SECOND RATE PERSONALITIES. COP ON! FACE IT YOU ALL NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY PROFESSIONALLY SO U ARE STUCK PLAYING IN FRONT OF PALTRY ATTENDANCES FULL OF SOME OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF TRAINSPOTTERS KNOWN TO MANKIND. THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING BETTER 2 DO OF A WEEKEND THEN 2 WATCH U LOT. THE REASON WHY NO ONE BOTHERS 2 WATCH U PLAY IS PRETTY EVIDENT: YOUR CRAP AND THEY HAVE A NORMAL SOCIAL LIFE. AND AS FOR THAT THUG CALLED RENNIE IN MIDFIELD: BIG FISH IN A SMALL POND!
Get a life you fucking tosser.
Just cause you rather do a bit of Sunday window shopping, or an adventerous trip to Woodies DIY don't mean we're all as sad as you. You PRICK! It's people with attitudes like your's that bring down the team, not loyal fans who turn up 2 watch a good team every week. Have a think about that, the next time your in watching Can't Cook won't cook, snuggling up 2 your wife we'll be having a laugh on an away day unlike you, you square bastard.Your a shame 2 your city, go support Kilkenny Town 4 yourself.
ITS BAD ENOUGH THAT I HAVE 2 WORK IN WATERFORD THEN PUT MYSELF THRU THE AGONY OF GOING OUT 2 SEE 'DE BLUSE'. FURTHERMORE KILKENNY TOWN FC DO NOT EXIST, ITS KILKENNY CITY FC. ALSO,IM NOT MARRIED I LIKE 2 PLAY THE FIELD & MEET BEAUITFUL WOMEN EVERY WEEKEND. SERIOUSLY THO'IF YOU WANT 2 WATCH SOME DECENT FOOTBALL IN IRELAND COME UP 2 THE CAPITAL. ITS ONLY £7 ON RAPID EXPRESS. THE BUS CAN DROP U OFF AT THE HOME OF IRISH SOCCER, DALYMOUNT! THE BOHS! THE BOHS! THE BOHS! THE BOHS! THE BOHS! THE BOHS! THE BOHS!
Rodney
A) Learn how to take the caps lock off
B) Playing around with sheep doesn't count
as playing *the field*
C) Bohs my arse, ha up until the Santry Siro
Fuck up by Rovers, yis wanted Roddy *God*
Collins out, now yis are licking his arse
again.. ... Fickle isn't the word I'd use
D) If yer from Dublin fuckin stay up there ya
muppet, get out of our clubs, our factories
and stick yer bigotted opinions where the sun
don't shine.... up Roddys arse...
E) Quick question hows Trevvy Molloy for E's?
You have some cheek coming here robbing our jobs
and then bad mouthing our football team. Remind me again when was the last time the boezz won a trophy?I hope we get you tossers 4 the semi-final of the cup. Talking about paltry attendances? 2,500 at the supposedly biggest derby in Ireland, a game that was as good as being at home 4 Bohs. We'd get that against UCD probably. And if we were in Bohs position in the premier we'd get twice the support ye get easy. Go get yourself a job in Phibsborough you tramp.
NICE TO HEAR YOU LIKE PLAYING THE FIELD.
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR A BIT FOF A POOF AS WELL,
COS YOUR SO FAR UP RODDY COLLINS RINGPIECE.
AS YOU SAID, THE RAPID EXPRESS IS ONLY £7,
SO WHY NOT GET ON THE FUCKING THING AND GO
BACK UP THE ROAD. JACKEENS - BLOODY IGNORANT
BREED ALTOGETHER!
IN REPLY TO COMMENTS ABOUT PLAYERS STRUTTING AROUND
RUBYS. I ACTUALLY SAW THEM STRUTTING AROUND RUBYS
WITH YOUR LACK. SHE SAID SHE WAS LOOKING FOR BIGGER FISH IN HER POND.
it wouldnt be YOUR site would it Tubby, na fair play to ya anyway keep updating it and try and get one of the bets right for once try localising it i.e maybe a couple of draws this weekend Athlone v Dundalk and as much as i pain to say it HFF v Blues try get it at 15/1
It was a good suggestion about getting young fans in free for this replay, it could be the beginning of a welcome new fan base for the future.
Remember all the youngsters who used to "infiltrate" over in the old Kilcohan Park days ? some or maybe many are now the regulars at the RSC.
Rural young lads and girls should be coaxed down there too, far more assidiously than they are. Apart from Man.Utd and Leeds et al. the GAA have been really active among the county schools and clubs. The "National Games" are still better received than Association Football and even Rugby has also begun coaching schemes in the rural schools.
I THINK PB SHOULD LOOK TOWARDS SOME OF THE U21 SQUAD AS THERE ARE SOME VERY GOOD PLAYERS THERE AND BRIANG THEM INTO THE SQUAD !DOESNT HAVE TO PLAY THEM BUT IT WOULD BE EXPERIENCE FORTHEM!PLAYERS LIKE BRIAN BYRNE AND BRIAN MALLON!WHO WERE VERY IMPRESSIVE SO FAR FOR THE U21 THIS YEAR ESPECIALLY BRIAN BYRNE

Now that Cobh suprisingly beat Athlone in the cup,the blues have a great chance of making the cup semi finals.What an achievement that would be so its its vital we get everyone down for the replay tuesday week to support the lads.Tell neighbours friends family so we can hopefully bring back the memories of '97 and create the atmosphere which was something else in Bellfield last sunday
Can the club do anything in the line of reduced ticket prices for the game? Go out to the schools and clubs and give away tickets? This is the big chance - it would cost a few pounds now but a further run in the cup would recoup surely!
A good idea from Blues Fan re. re-play tickets at RSC
The club should do as much as possible to get youngsters in the groove of attending , even if it does cost a bit at first (Remember the dozens of young lads who used to "infiltrate" over in old Kilcohan Park, they are probably some of to-days regulars at the RSC.
Also the young people around the county need to be "courted" much more assiduously nowadays. Apart from Leeds and Manchester Utd the GAA seem to have been really active out in the rural county. Soccer is not as well received still as the "National Games" are.
i hope everyone, even those who dont usually go to the games, will be in ucd on sunday. it will be great craic on the bus,and a big noisy blues support will give the team a huge lift.come on its the cup! what else can you do on a sunday.
ok this is the one lets make it a bit special, bring everything you can, flares (no not the clothes) drums, baloons, ANYTHING that helps for an atmosphere EVEN FLAGS
possibly one of the 80's greatest hits!
A smoking and drinking bus has been chartered from Dungarvan. Can travelling blues fans avail of drink at student rates in the campus bar? we've got a student card on our bus as one of our number is still at school!
Fuck the hurling v derry - get back to school and support the blues.
The student bar in UCD dosen't open on Sundays so there will be no cheap drink available. The options are 1. the sports bar in the sports centre on the other side of the campus (great pint of Guinness)(10-min walk to Belfield Park), or 2. the Montrose bar on the other side of the dual carridgeway (5 min walk to belfield park), but they may not be too happy to see a bunch of football hooligans.
id just like to congratulate the lads doing the btid fanzine.its a great laugh,much better then the shite "colour" progamme. i hope everyone will join me in saying well done to de lads and buy the next issue.its only a pound, 50p cheaper and far better then the pathetic excuse for a progamme.
This fanzine is improving every time it's published. The official programme is pure shite and is basically an ego trip for Paul Heylin. Did ye all enjoy the fascinating transcript from the Radio Kerry interview with Mick O Dwyer? Thought not.Write something interesting please Mr. Heylin.
