Not true, they did a feature on Longford Town a few weeks ago, about the cup runs in 2003/4. I used love going to the Flansiro, it would have been a great ground. Unfortunately it looks worse now than what it did 5 years ago.

On this recommend, and a very good relative price on 1800hotels, I booked this place earlier. Looking forward to this. While there I also get to see one of my all time favourites Dj/producers in his resident club - Cielo, 'Lil' Louie Vega.

Anyway, whats the good word with NY?

Looks like this is out the window. The missus' granmother is at deaths door, so probably have to cancel the entire trip. I suppose somethings are more important. Sick **** of funerals. I have been to 4 in the last 12 months. Joys of growing old I guess.

Oh jaysus you're right. Forgot completely about that, think the guy who did the piece is room Longford too. Yeah Flansiro isn't the worst, it is looking worse for wear this year but we're still getting a few through the gates. Interest in the town, by and large, isn't there anymore. We didn't capitalise on the cup runs, Sligo went pro and took the gloss of what we had done.

Always next year!

Beach Balls for everybody

In all fairness Liverpool fans that was the greatest fluke ever. Imagine the odds of that happening

What an astoundling empty weekend. It was great. Pretty much lounged, slept and drank since 5pm Friday. Im utterly bate.

last night however, I was at a going away party, and saw a band. None of them are the right side of 65 I'd say, but they facking blew it away

Hurrah, its Monday tomorrow. Last Monday work i have for about a month though, so happy days

Sunderland deserved the win though, they outplayed them. The draw for the play offs is coming up soon, getting nervous for it now.

grames_bond · 19-10-2009 2:35pm

france!! away in the second leg!.....we're f*cked!!

gimmick · 19-10-2009 2:44pm

I would not agree with that. 2nd best draw on offer imo. I think I may have tickets for it

Bubs101 · 19-10-2009 2:45pm

Domenech vs. trappatoni? Great draw on paper. France not as good as people think. They're the European version of Maradona's Argentina

gimmick · 19-10-2009 3:07pm

I think Ireland can win this, 1-0 at home, 0-0 away. Happy days:D

flahavaj · 19-10-2009 3:44pm

I'm happy out with France. Russia would have been the worst team to face.

I reckon they've got a soft centre that our style of play could expose, plus we always over perform against the bigger nations. 0-0 at croker, 1-1 away draw sends us through. Cue beer filled Summer and the end of the recession.

sky88 · 19-10-2009 3:47pm

im happy with france domenech doesnt seem like he has all the players support and cant get them playing good if we win at home we stand a good chance of getting a good result away

JP Liz · 19-10-2009 4:20pm

Do we actually have a chance against France? :rolleyes:

gimmick · 19-10-2009 4:26pm

Very much so. France are very much living off reputation nowadays. It will not be pretty, but it is well doable.

I actually think Greece might have been the worse draw. We always do well against the good teams. It's the teams we expect to beat we **** up on. Ireland are best with their backs to the wall not pushing the issue and I think the likes of Switzerland and Greece are the worst teams to face. Slightly better team who play in a similar fashion just better

Diabhal Beag · 19-10-2009 4:57pm

I'm delighted with the draw. France are serious under-performers and we have a real chance of getting to the World Cup. If we missed out though I wouldn't be heartbroken because the World Cup clashes with the Leaving Cert.

i thinkn you are being overly optimistic here, ireland are a team that can NOT hold on to a lead.....historically it has always been the case, (as we saw twice against italy recently) i really think there is no chance we will stop them from scoring for 180 minutes!

i think our best option is a 0-0 home and 1-1 away (or maybe scrape a win at home but it wont be easy by any means)

Gerard.C · 20-10-2009 4:54pm

Did ye see the French manager said we're the English B-Team? **** you. I really really hope we ****ing trounce them. Wanker

England B is too nice a compliment for this bunch. We have over-achieved this year but we could catch France

How dare he. We're no better than a D or E team in fairness.

gimmick · 22-10-2009 7:28pm

Got my tickets for this yesterday. Decided we would go all out and booked into Jurys Croke park while we were at it.

On another note, I am off to The States Sunday, thankfully last weeks emergency had the best possible outcome. My suitcase is behind me ready to pack, but man do I hate packing. Without the panic of it being at the last second, how does one motivate oneself? 0655am flight Sunday, so realistically should only start about 0400am.

And to round it all off, the Cork Guinness Jazz Festivals kicks off tmr. Heavy night planned for tomorrow and a heavy afternoon Saturday. Man life is good

Nope - I refrain from buying that rag. Waste of time, money and paper. What did you do?

I was at a gig in Cyprus Avenue there last Sunday and got Interviewed for the "Who the hell goes to...." bit. I told them my name was Tony Morrissey for the laugh. Big happy head on me in the photo and that name under it. Cant wait to show the mother!

I'd say the town will be mad this weekend with the Jazz on! Ya goin to venture in you are?

gimmick · 23-10-2009 12:52pm

Always do ya, although with holidays on Sunday I will not be able to indulge myself as much as I usually like to. Prob just head to the Metroploe for about 2pm tmr, stay there til 6, then go to some gig in some other pub, and home for about 9. Try and be somewhat human for 11 hours of flying on Sunday.

*Hic*
Ni Hao,

Im feckin coverd in sweat after jogging back home after escourting my (super hot) american friend home as she was lets say a lil tipsy, she lives a lot further away than i thought though damn im wrecked!

I saw him last time he came over. Savage concert altogether, one of the best I ever saw.
