Need a good Result in Vaduz

**DaithiT** · 07/07/2004, 7:16 AM

The only thing I know about the Vaduz team is that they have a fairly good
offense. I hope we come away with a decent result, its also important for
the home game (crowd numbers). Do the town get any money from the FAI
for the travel expenses??????

You must be joking..we'll be lucky to get money for the ground never mind travel expenses.

**DaithiT** · 07/07/2004, 10:35 AM

Who covers there expenses then????? Did they get any money for winning the Cup last season????

**Longfordian** · 07/07/2004, 10:49 AM

The club pays their own way.They got some money for winning the cup alright but not a huge amount, most of it gets swallowed up in day to day expenses, we have to hope a good crowd at the home game covers our expenses for the trip

**max power** · 07/07/2004, 11:29 AM

thus the reason that tickets for the home leg will be a little more expensive, worth it i feel.

as i said on another thread, this is a vital part of our season and everybody needs to get behind the club no matter how you feel things are going at the mo.....

how is flancare coming along ????

**Longfordian** · 07/07/2004, 12:03 PM

A massive amount of work being done by Micky Cox and his troops, fingers crossed we'll be holding it. Tickets likely to be €15 I think

**DaithiT** · 07/07/2004, 3:21 PM

How much are they geting from Flancare??? If the trip costs €650 via munich
for three days what will it cost for the team + Groupies (ie trainer coach physio, doc etc) ?? I reckon it wont be to far away from €20000 at the end of the day..

**Longfordian** · 07/07/2004, 3:36 PM

I' d say it'll be close to that alright. Need to do get a good crowd at home. Whch means we need to keep it alive over there

Now they are talking about shelling out about a grand apiece to go to a place most of them are too stupid to pronounce. Get a life Town supporters.

rovers fan, stuck in the past yeah? vaduz are also basically the leichenstein national team, all these players have played against england, etc, including a nice draw v ireland not so long ago.

if you dont want teams from outside the pale, then watch dublin club gaa. they usually only have to play outside dublin once a year.

I grew up beside Milltown when you were able to go to a "home game"--if you had a home now there would be a barring order against lots of you. Lots of the players from your great teams of those times weren't from Dublin.
Speaking of "bandwagons" very few Dubs went to Croker until Heffo's Army.
It probably costs you as much over the season to travel to your "home games" as it'll cost us to have a European holiday! Send you a postcard.

if and note i said IF we could win the league cup we would get a prize of 20,000 euro which would do nicely to cover the above.

btw,i dont think the backroom staff at flancare would react to kindly to being called groupies

**sorbothegreek** · 08/07/2004, 7:26 AM

Now Patrick, who are we trying to impress with this?
Foolish blathering with the intention of sturing some **** is of no use to anyone.
I, and i assume the rest of the regulars here dont go posting on message boards pertaining to Nuclear physics. Why? Simply because we know nothing about it.

Learn from us P, it will be better for everyone in the long run.

lets hear it for patrick the only man on this planet able to type with his bottom.......last time i looked a lot of the arsenal team wasn't from london let alone in ger land...so would you call them rest of the world rejects.....

sucess fills the seats in any sport, how many people went to see laois play gaa before micko took over or how many will go to see longford against dunblin at the weekend, its human nature to follow sucess, but the guys/gals on this board have been going to games for many years, ask some of the people here about going to a home game with only 50 fans.it hard enough now to get club gear never mind about 5/10 years ago, i notice you didn't put in the name of the place we can't pronounce, can't spell it eh ????

**DaithiT** · 08/07/2004, 10:51 AM

I bet PJ doesnt't support a team that haven't won any major trophies over the past 10 seasons!!!!! Probably jumped on the Manure Arse (prem engerland) or on the Bohs Shels bandwagon. Claims to be a UCD student!!!
its no wonder we have to import foreign labour.

They often gave abuse to managers and players who have done a lot more for the league than their mickey-mouse club. Stephen Kenny put Longford where they are today. Yet most Longford thugs see fit to boo the man. Disgraceful behaviour. Before Kenny arrived, there were no seats in Flancare and the Town were a laughing stock in the First Division. From what I know, the only reason Longford weren't in the Second Division is that there was no Second Division. What's wrong with Town supporters is that they've become too big for their boots. As for F.C. Vaduz, if they are so good how come they can't even win the Liechtenstein League. Regardless of the fact that they have an international team, their league is probably the equivalent of what Longford people would follow in the Paddy Clabby Cup. The Eircom League can do without the negative Longford mentality. That is, fear of a team from Liechtenstein. Regardless of the abuse that Pat Dolan is given, at least he has the belief and confidence to take on top teams from Sweden and Holland as an equal. On the other hand, Longford and their mis-guided, mis-educated supporters are like beggars at the banquet.

its seldom you would see such a load of tossology cobbled together in one post.
i can only think that (as someone already said )that you are looking for some sparks to fly.
sad

**max power** · 08/07/2004, 3:05 PM

wow patrick where did you get such a big spoon to stir the sh1t

.

stephen kenny walked out on our club so we can abuse him on that fact, no on ever said he didn't do good for the club in general, but the board did a lot as well.

i think you comment about racist abuse is way off the make, i hate all visiting players equally ( apart from reynolds )

what are we mis-edcuated about btw ???

**Feech** · 08/07/2004, 3:29 PM

There is no "proper" league in Liechtenstein you goon, that's why Vaduz play in the Swiss league.

A league of a higher standard than Ireland's btw.

**max power** · 08/07/2004, 3:47 PM

my god you speak bull, who apponted kenny, eh the board.....

your going on 3th hand info on the racial abuse and can you find out the game as i would be interest in the name of the lad from longford on the scolarship.

**Schumi** · 08/07/2004, 4:03 PM

Put up any more graffiti in the jacks recently Pat?

**DaithiT** · 08/07/2004, 4:06 PM

He's just ****ed off because his team (UCD Misfits) will never play in the UEFA
Cup. Another bad egg who believes that the Eircom league should only be for
Dublin teams. What are ya doing PJ at 5:30pm next thursday??? Ah I see
you have your weekly synchron swimming lesson
