Not quite taking the p1ss, I just think he can do a lot more. He can barely raise a jog at the moment.

Another good article by Eamon Zayed - http://www.extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/3407/

And he also mentions Conan's 100th game this Fri.

Looking forward to the game now.

Read this morning that we were granted the UEFA licence for 10/11. Roll on the Ravens on Tour!

Kevin, who works on our programme, is a Bohemians supporter, and being the good fan that he is, he had his dad waiting in a car outside the studios after the programme, to drop him over to Morton Stadium to try to catch the last half hour or so of the Sporting Fingal v Bohemians match last Monday week.


Despite the fact the he and his friend were each willing to fork out 15 hard-earned euro to Sporting, they were denied entry to the ground. Their crime? Arriving too late! Having been told that they couldn't come in by a jobsworth, a Garda then came over and asked the lads why they'd want to pay in to watch 'that **** anyway?'.


The two lads (customers) were then told to clear off, so the friend who had spent 25 euro on a taxi to Santry for the match did so in vain. How can any club treat potential customers like this? It sounds like a case for Fergal Quinn

some bad press for us....anyone know why they would be refused entrance.
Ive gone late a few times to matches (sometimes so late they just let me in without paying...) never had a problem but ye....

ps can we started getting excited for the Europa League yet??
Will be able to play in Morton Stadium (with 800 seats, hardly...so that means...Dalymount...?)

edit:
Stadiums must be all-seated and have a minimum capacity of 3,000;

not much hope there...

Sporting Fingal were granted a UEFA (european) license to host games. So, there will be European home games in Morton this year.

As for people getting in ... maybe that query/complaint should be addressed directly by the club?

fingalgooner

Its not his friend Paul, click the link its on MNS in behind the scenes with Con Murphy. That ain't good press.

With regards to the uefa licence. :D:D:D:):D and just one more for effect:D
Guess it will be dalymount

Yep, it's Dalymount. And yes, it's time to start getting excited about the Europa Cup. The draw is only a matter of weeks away, we'll be jetting off to play our game before you can say "Conan Byrne has 100 starts under his belt."

Delighted to see a few Fingal names there. Im convinced if Lorcan wasnt out for a few weeks he'ed have his place in the squad too. Though no Shane McFaul?? :eek:

The draw is on the 21st of June but you need to wait for a confirmation of the fixture from UEFA before you go booking tickets. Nothing worse than hearing the draw and immediately booking flights and accommodation only for the fixture to change shortly afterwards.

Sporting Fingal has the highest representation of any League of Ireland team in the squad. Something to be proud of.

JRCC

If we get drawn against Bangor City, could we ask for the away leg to be played in the afternoon so we can get the ferry back afterwards? Their ground is 2 minutes from the train station That is if they get to play there

My fellow Ravens. I think I have come up with my best chant yet "We all play for the Under 23's, the Under 23's, the Under 23's. We all play for the Under 23's, the Under 23's, the Under 23's. And number 1 is Quigley, and number 4 is Williams. And number 5 is Kenny Browne, and number 8 is Ronan Finn. We all play for the Under 23's....." not 100% on my squad numbers but it can be worked out on the night. Still unsure for tomorrow. I'm like an addict doin cold turkey after missin the last few games

A bit of harmless banter is fine, but let's keep it at that level. Any deliberate winding-up of other posters will result in infractions and/or bans.

I doubt he will be. A lot of crap is going on at their club at the mo. Keeping a low profile is probably the best option.

All licences are awarded subject to the grounds meeting the criteria for a UEFA Category 2 stadium

Morton hardly fits the stadium 2 criteria. With 800 seats? we need 2200 seats installed by july...? not t o mention the other criteria

Stadiums must be all-seated and have a minimum capacity of 3,000;

The playing surface dimensions must be 100-110 metres in length and 64-75 metres in width;

Stadiums must have a security control room;

Must provide seating for at least 400 VIPs and 200 visiting team VIP;

The floodlights must light the pitch to an illuminance of at least 800-1400 lux towards fixed cameras and 500-1000 lux towards mobile cameras;

There must be at least two TV studios within the stadium with dimensions 5x5x2.3 metres;

In case of power failure, independent back-up power supply to provide no less than two-thirds of the equivalent light intensity without interruption;

Minimum of 100 VIP secured parking;

No standing spectators allowed.
