3 teams from the city of Galway in the LoI now: http://www.galwaynews.ie/10749-devon-set-accept-league-ireland-spot Amazing stuff.
I think having three Galway clubs is amazing! It shows the work that is going on in Galway city and County. Next target for the Galway clubs is to have two in the Premier Division. Certainly doing better than the Cork scene here.
It's a joke. Galway can hardly sustain their main club let alone 3. Shows the FAI up for what they are. Which is clueless. All very well going on about spreading the football throughout the country but inviting junior clubs into the league that have no fanbase whatsoever does more damage than good. Look athe demise of Kildare County. Far too many senior clubs on the island. KOH
Hey guys. I'm gonna be in Dublin on March 26. I see that UCD, Bohs & Sporting Fingal all have home matches that night. Which would you suggest I go see? I'm staying in Ballsbridge that evening, so which would be easiest/best to go see. I don't imagine I'll have to secure a ticket before the match, will I? Thanks for the advice.
Well Bohs are the champions and would be the one to see I suppose. UCD is nearest to you but you could get to all three very easily. The Drogs are playing Fingal so I'd recommend that one! No problems on the ticket front!
Just got back from Ireland last night. Saw the Shamrock Rovers v. Bohemians match on the 9th. Here's the goal: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBTt4_1N7U8"]YouTube- Shamrock Rovers 1-0 Bohemians (09/04/2010) - Billy Dennehy goal[/ame] I was sitting at the other end of the stands from the person who did this video. Great atmosphere at the game, and I was impressed by the level of play.
Unfortunately, I went to the UCD - Bray match - not so impressed by the level of play. I was going to see the St. Patrick's match v. Sligo in the Setanta Cup, but it got rained out!
Mike delighted you enjoyed it. You should have contacted us before and we could have taken you to the other side with the Ultras! Great video, great night Anybody here from outside Ireland who wants to go to a Hoops game contact me and you can be guaranteed a great night amongst the best fans. KOH
Thanks. It was last minute. A friend took me and his son. We were going to go to Drogheda vs. St. Pats that evening (they are from Meath), but we went to this one for the atmosphere. I'll keep it in mind. It looked like you had a great time on that side.
Another memorable night in Tallaght Stadium. Top 2 in the league on a perfect summers night for a game with a narrow 2-1 win for the Hoops in front of 4,800. Second half in particular had everything. Quality goals with an incredible finish. In injury time Billy Dennehy handled on the line and got an instant red card. Inevitably Alan Mannus saved their penalty! Here's hoping we can do well next week in Europe. http://www.airtricityleague.com/ind.../2179-shamrock-rovers-v-st-patricks-athletic- KOH
Great night to be in Tallaght. Was the ball over the line?... God bless Alan Kelly and Billy and Alan And Micheal... KOH
Premiership table: http://inform.fai.ie/Statsportal/CompetitionDetails.aspx?compID=1 Has any thought been given to playing 2 leagues of 18 games each annually, for Spring & Summer trophies? First Division: http://inform.fai.ie/Statsportal/CompetitionDetails.aspx?compID=2 With the current poor form of the Galway table footers, has any thought been given to reducing the division to 10 clubs?
No premiership in our league. 2 trophies would never be a runner. Yes Salthill and Mervue are junior clubs and should never be in the league so hopefully common sense will prevail and they are shown the door at seasons end. Great win for the Hoops yesterday so confidence is high ahead of thursday's Europa League game. KOH
