Shamrock Rovers surely regret taking the piss out of Bray Wanderers on Twitter

Pure madness

Niall McIntyre

Bit them in the arse.

By this stage we’ve all heard about the bizarre Bray Wanderers – North Korea saga.

Two months after labelling Wicklow as the “North Korea of Ireland for business”, the club are still getting stick for their flamboyant statement announcing the sale of their picturesque Carlisle Grounds.

Shamrock Rovers’ last away game of the season will see them take a trip to Bray to take on the Wicklow side, and they were quick to grasp the opportunity to take a swipe at Harry Kenny’s men.

The obvious joke proved impossible to resist for the Shams’ Twitter account, but it wasn’t long before the Wanderers were swiping back.

What followed was a terrific Twitter thread courtesy of our humorous clubs.

Cutting from the Tallaght based outift.

Great response from Bray, with the Rovers having dropping points against Sligo Rovers on Friday.

Solidarity between Wicklow and Sligo. That bond runs deep.

Shams’ responded with a belter, referencing their involvement in Europe, inciting jealousy from Bray.

Savage, savage put down to bring it all to a halt.

Great stuff from the LOI clubs.
