As much as I'd love that to be true, I don't think it is. FAI cup third round is week ending 5th of June for all LOI teams I think.

Oops my mistake. I was doing a prizemoney vs games played and was checking our fixtures and just seen

Rovers v Bohemians - Tallaght Stadium 8.00pm
(FAI Ford Cup Semi-Finals)

Meh, its only an additional 3 games though. As I said the actual prize money isnt amazing, its more the other revenue streams that really boost it. Ones the EA cup just doesnt have.

Ours go on sale from today to Wednesday evening. Any unsold tickets will then go back on sale to Rovers. I'll be extremely surprised and delighted if you don't get at least an additional 1000 tickets. In fact going by attendances this year we may only take circa 1k to Tallaght

Lads, the little brother is askin' about the match where you's hosted Real a while back. What's the story with the extra stands? Were they just temporary scaffold jobs?

Yup put up for our Summer tournament. Games vs Newcastle/Madrid and hibs (I think).

Not allowed for europe though unfortunitly. But ye just scaffold jobs, although very nice ones at that with tunnels running through them.

TangyZizzle

Were they not up to European Standards? Were they standing or seated?

All seated.

No temp stands are up to european standards unfortunitly. We applied for the Juve game this year and were shot down too.

Deemed unsafe acccording to them.

Another question I meant to ask. What was the story with the flares the Rovers lads used in Dalyer? Why were they flashing instead of burning constantly? and did the Club get in any trouble for the lads usin them?

They're strobos, a different kind of flare. Haven't heard of any fine for them yet but you can be sure we did yeah. What's with the odd questions?!

TangyZizzle

If I can think it I'll ask it. Check my post history

TangyZizzle

Just realised I had a video of them

S.R.F.C.

Are you a bohs fan Tangy?

You can see strobos being used to a bit better effect here and here, obviously plenty of examples out there, look the dogs when used well.

TangyZizzle

No I'm not a Bohs fan. They look great with the smoke in the first vid. How much are they and how do you get your hands on them? Anything Iv searched so far has been around the 80dollar mark.. and they are electrical ones so Im sure Im searching the wrong term.

Who do you support?

http://www.ultrasshop.com/ or any Ultras suppliers site.

TangyZizzle

Noone at the mo, but Iv always had a soft spot for Shels so tend to be leaning towards them at the moment. Iv also been to more Shels matches than anyone else this season.. so If I had to answer I would say them.

Any ITKs know if the rumoured friendly v. LA Galaxy is a goer?

I'm afraid you have to be in the clique. Only those ITK know and it's a no no to let anyone outside the clique know

Basically yes. In November.

LA on tour and it will be Beckhams last games as a pro. The issue is around timing within the tour, if its his actual last game, its in the Aviva, if not, Tallaght.

I thought they'd done away with that clique business :pac:

This would be another PR coup for the club and hopefully it comes off, chance to see Landon Donovan too.

dfx-

If it does happen, that's Beckham, Ronaldo, Del Piero, Raul..at this rate Messi and Xavi will finish their careers unfulfilled to not play at Tallaght:pac:

I dunno, summer window is open and we could always use a bit of back up for twigg and finn tbh.

dfx-

Turner would get the nod first, Xavi would be useful to change the game from the bench at 0-0 though:pac:

Yeah, but the kick-off has only just been confirmed there.

Oh yeah. :cool: Booked since the draw. Thankfully a more affordable trip than some of the other ones we could have got.

iregk

Sadly I won't be going. Wife is due 2 weeks after that so travel plans as of now are shelved.

dreamers75

Did Crolly resign today?

iregk

Yes he did. To be confirmed by the club today.

darsar

Confirmed on Aertel that he has resigned and no reason has been given.

Trouble in the camp or "personal reasons"?

S.R.F.C.

Trouble in the camp.

Birmingham looking for persmission to speak to Hibernian manager Colin Calderwood, this morning. Michael O'Neill linked very heavily to Hibs now.

Are you able to elaborate at all?

BOHtox

Strong rumours now that O'Neill's leaving. Who would replace him? Fenlon?

super_furry

Christ I hope not.

Would have had Croly as a caretaker myself, maybe Liam Buckley til the end of the season.

dfx-

Fenlon scrapes in ahead of Collins at the very bottom rung of potential managerial replacements category. Having said that, the doctor guy who comes out onto the sideline everytime a player goes down with cramp or bruised ego would be ahead of both.

Should it come to pass that MON goes..

You know there's nothing but an apple and the last printed copy of the The Evening Press in that black briefcase he carries.

Lots of 2+2=5 at the moment, I see.

The rumour around Twiggs dropping is my favourite

iregk

Which one of the Twigg rumours. I've heard plenty

rumours are Oneill told players BEFORE the sligo game that if the players performed better and if they were further ahead then MON would get a better contract and more money.
Twigg told him to **** off and lost the head.he got dropped.

that one

Gavin "shels"

So O'Neill has had bust-ups with Croly, Dan Murray and Dean Kelly, and it's only like half way through the season.:eek:

Sure that's Nobel Peace Prize winning stuff compared to what Pat Scully used to get up to.

stovelid

There was a heated dispute over a bottle of Timotei Herbal Essence found in the showers and MON pulled rank on account of having more hair than TC. It got out of hand and TC had to be restrained from giving MON a wedgie in front of the squad.

Man management, my arse.

RTE
"Over the past few months my football relationship with the manager has changed somewhat," was what Trevor Croly has had to say today. Tune in to Sport at 7 Extra on Radio One from 18.30 this evening for analysis of the current events at Shamrock Rovers

for anyone interested.

Oat23

It was always going to be hard to keep all the players happy and you knew if things weren't running smoothly there would be a bit of trouble in the squad. I remember people saying it pre-season that the only way they wont win the league is if there is trouble off the pitch. We'll see how they deal with it in the next few weeks though.

Thats not bad. Not quite up there though with the one I heard from a bohs mate of mine. Apparently they got heated and had to be seperated but not before Twigg and Murry came to blows

I heard Hooperman saved the day when he came to MON rescue.
