super cup

I went along both days and enjoyed the games generally. The LOI scorelines were very misleading in my mind as they competed fairly well in both games for an hour and it was just the last half hour when the fitness faded that the gulf became apparent. I do think it'd be better to have an actual team winning the right to represent the league but obviously the European dates complicate that.

The organisers completely messed up on the prices as they set them way too high. I paid €30 for the upper corner and, at the time, the cheapest lower tier ticket was €60. That was just ridiculous and they waited way too long before they realised their error and knocked a bit off the price the last week. They'll need to re-think a lot for next year but i'd like to see it continue with a few tweaks made.

Celtic would be considered the biggest Irish-linked club side in the world, that has stood as a symbol of the emigration of Irish people around the globe. I remember my dad looking for their results when I was a kid in London, and he wouldnt consider football his favourite sport. Why are so many indigenous Irish football fans promoting hatred of Glasgow Celtic ?? I just do not get it . why cant you understand that just because they have an irish connection that some people dont like them? i have zero reason to like them, in fact i have as much reason to like them as i would have to like rangers, both of them mean nothing to me, why is it so hard for celtic fans to accept that not every irish person likes them? what really bugs me is the tools that support them thinking they should because their irish and its the cool thing to do, if you want to support an irish team then go and support an irish team again il ask, do you not think it was a bit sad today watching the irish fans wearing their british club jersey singing irish songs and waving tri colours cheering against the actual irish team? at least utd liverpool or leeds fans know where their club is from! something thats seems to be lost on celtic fans

 The same Liverpool fans who cry about being Scouse and not English? The same Man United fans who were telling Rangers to stick their f*cking England up their arse and singing USA USA and f*ck off England f*ck off England behind Robert Greens goal when they were at Upton Park. Hummmmmmm!

yeah can understand that, anyone who has'nt been to matches for a while would see this and probably not bother going to an loi game, but in fairness they were totally out of their depth against utd,a bad exercise on behalf of the fai,and most people would'nt have expected any thing else against utd,

Shoco wrote: the best of what was available, none of the european playes and about 3 days preperation, it doesnt exactly do much for the league, its a poor representation of the league

i said in an earlier post that i would rather that they did'nt take part in this comp in future years, but just out of curiosity how do you think it hurt the league.

Shoco wrote: daithi it wasnt even a representation of the league!

shoco it was the best they could field considering(allegedly).still a league representive team no matter how strong or weak it was

your a bohs fan, so am i ,i was delighted to go see some of our players representing the league and support the team, what's so fcking hard to understand about that .

People support Celtic and other British teams because they have a better league with better players and play at higher standard of football. Get over it.   For the record I go to LOI games as I am a fan of football but I just dont support any LOI team. I've also been fairly impressed by the attractive football that has been played at the games that I have attended.   bit like when some criticses celtic   Your like a wasp to a Celtic thread. So what you dont like Celtic. But every time you see a Celtic thread you always need to comment and have a pop why? I dont lik LOI nor do I like Leeds for instance but I never comment follow their threads and make comments like you do.   The sensitivity around LOI teams and LOI playes is unreal. Just take that imbred OldBawnHoop and Billwhat ever his name is - absolutetely pathetic comments of the highest order.   BTW the LOI team did very well today especially Kearns who was a credit to the league. This is a great oppornutity to show the people what your made of because the reality is no body in this country of even Britian gives a rats ass about hits league. SO GET OVER IT.

to be honest with you gaz could'nt be bothered reading most of the sh*te posted here could barely read your response, players seemed to be very happy with the outcome of their amended payout yeah the showers scenario was a joke, but the overall view from the players was it was a great experience, there's no doubt that the loi selection, even if it had the pick of the three teams in europe, are well and truly out of their depth in this comp, i would be hoping they don't put a team in anymore instead put in another european team.
