How about Sporting Fingal V Sporting Lisbon ?

I see now that Lorcan Fitzgerald has also been called up to the U23 squad. That makes 5 Fingal players.

And other clubs try to slag Fingal?? The club are obviously doing something right.

Just hope they come through the game without injuries .

Supose each team could be looking for a 'Sporting' chance of going through.
'It was a good result with sport in general being the overall winner'


Ya see what I did there, oh my god it's just comedy genius.

Great to see Lorcan getting a call up cannot understand Mc Faul not getting a look in.
And congrats to Glen Crowe on getting the goal last friday. Hopefully that will be the start of many to come. Saw it last night on Mns team looked great going forward and Conan looked sharp.
And great picture Paul, of Gary O'Niell when the keeper pulled off another good save, certainly caught the lads emotions cheers.
Looking forward to saturday seems like a year since my last live game.

Its great to see that we have so many young players making it into the under 23 s. I hope we continue this policy of bringing in young talent from LOI clubs and Irish lads coming home from British clubs, develope them in the right way and then hopefully get decent money for the players. This money should then be re-invested back into the club.
Hopefully we will become a club that is known for its quality of football and also a place where the best young talent in the country will get their chance. We already have interest in at least 3 players if rumours are to be believed and id expect one or two more to have interest from bigger clubs abroad in the no too distant future.

I actually heard one more player was being looked at by a UK club. Not sure how definite it is, but it's nice to hear. Kenny Browne was being checked out at a recent game by a scout.

Also, at the Fingal V Bray game, the St. Pats scout was at the game.

It seems Liam and his staff have a great eye for future potential when it comes to young players. This can only be a good thing for the club and its future.

I dont think any LOI club can really keep their best players when a British club comes a calling. Especially Championship level and above.
If our club can get in decent money for these lads and re-invest it in our club then this is a very good thing imo. If we get a reputation as being a club who are very good at developing young players and possible preparing them for another apportunity with bigger clubs abroad then we will have the pick of a lot of the good young players availible in this country and the ones coming back from Britain.
Im not saying I want any of our players to leave but getting a good price for them if/when they do will help the club to develope imo.

These are the figures done by a guy on Foot.ie.

We have improved our attendances this year. Which is good. We are helped though by some big away crowds coming to Morton. Still we have improved the home support aswell.

I'll defo pop along and take in a game.

That all depends when they leave, if they leave at the end of the season and they are out of contract then we wont get a cent but may get a few quid if they are still in contract.

Of course. But from what iv noticed, we had previously signed young players to two year contracts (some of them anyway). So im hoping this is the case with the rest of the young lads now and in the future. Plus the english sides will tend to be looking for players during our season, so players on one year contracts will still be contracted to the club.

Heard today that Brendan Clarke is going to Pats in July because Dan Connor is going to Bohemians. Anyone heard anything on this?

Yeah, I heard it. But, according to the man himself, he's not going anywhere.

fingalgooner

Hope not, when I saw him in pre season friendlies(the one against Monaghan) he was class. It was his constant communication to his centre backs and full backs that marked the contrast of him and Quigley.
Now i don't want to be seen as kicking Quigley I have not seen us play in a month and I have been told he has been improving as you would expect as his confidence grows, however Quigley's error in the under 23's match is something I have become accustomed to expect with him, where as Clarke has been so solid in every aspect and to add to that his distribution to players is phenomenal. Can't remember him ever giving the ball away whether it be a ten yard pass to sixy yard launch.
Pure class.

Paulw

I think Quigley has improved from last season. He seems a lot more vocal and talks more to the back line.

Clarke is louder though.

I think we have two good keepers.

At least Clarke isn't leaving, and I look forward to him getting his place back in goals soon as the no 1 keeper.

I'll agree with you on that Paul. He himself seemed pretty adamant that he wasn't goin anywhere. Still seems a bit put out with the fact he's lost the no. 1 jersey but when he gets his chance i'm sure he'll take it and keep the position. After early doubts about Darren I think he's rightly shut up a few critics and proved he's worthy of the challenge.
On another note, its fantasy football time for any one interested. At the minute i've two leagues set up. one is for the world cup through Sky Sports and the other is for our own League of Ireland. Neither are based on the "spend 100 million" basis. They both let you pick 11 players with no values and you can only have 2 players from the same country/team.
World Cup.

I will mate but unfortunately I can't make the Galway game due to work but the next home game against UCD on the Friday evening is pencilled in for sure as it's at a much better time.

It's a pity that there's a whole month almost between 2 home games, I was a bit surprised at this.

Enjoy the game tomorrow. And the win . Hopefully.

fingalgooner

yes 'Demons and Wizards' shall run riot. "Is that it!" however will play some seriously entertaining football and will win the league by a country mile my good man. And is Buffon the only keeper going to the world cup:)
Won't be at the pub tomorrow but will be at the match so hope to see or hear you boyz up there.
Hopefully will be a good turnout, good weather and great football.
