Drogs-v-Shels 29/30 January.

We're also playing Dundalk in our annual massacre eh friendly. Hopefully we'll keep the red cards down a bit this year. Actually, I'm looking forward to playing Shels (even though I might be away that weekend) because ye gave us a good test last year when we we're only after getting the team together.

Two Luas trips through Inchicore, Gav.

Be careful, they eat their young down there.

Woooohooooooooo!! I can't wait for the season to start so these matches will do nicely to warm up

So you're playing us at Richmond?? We're due a win against you's!! McAllister to get the winner

You'll also get to see why Damien Brennan was 'saving' himself last season. To unleash his might defensive abilities on an unsuspecting world in 2010. Sorry I've been reading a lot of comic books lately....

Sure I work in Inchicore and when I'm going to college I have to go past Inchicore on the Luas.:D Still remember 2 years ago when we had our last friendly there, me and my mate were leaving a bit late after the match (had to take down all the banners and stuff) and walking out Richmond Park wasn't there about 50 Pats schooligans, head down and ended up walking around the side roads in Inchicore down to the SCR.:D

Well it won't be in Tolka, so most likely Richmond. Don't mine if Maccer scores, he's a great player and deserves to be playing in te Premier, hope it goes well for him with the junkies.

Bohs playing past students of St. Declans 7th February in Dalymount, with Heary, Keegan and Hughes lining out for Declans. Part

Playing Glebe North on 2nd February in Balbriggan in aid of the cervical cancer vaccine.

Gavin "shels"

My Bohs mate was saying Shane Supple is lining out for Declans, any truth in that?


Can't wait for the real Dublin derby, may only be a friendly, but 4 years since the last and how things have changed.

Yeah

Football players who have represented St Declans on the pitch during their time in school include Shane Supple, Richie Partridge, Mark Kenny (brother of Harry), Stephen Paisley, Aidan Collins, Dean Marshall as well as the Bohs senior squad trio.

Probably not. Wife is working late so I may drive down closer to kick-off.

I'll know for sure closer to the time.

Can't wait for Tuesday. I'll be at the Longford, Shels and Bray games all in the space of a week or so.

Töpher

Working nights the night of Shels @ Rovers (gettin' the favours in now, hopefully swing a few league nights off then!), which still leaves Tallaght as the only ground yet to sample my delights (excluding Salthill's field, of course) - I'm claiming to be leaving it for when its a competitive fixture.

You going up to Drawda tomorrow?

Töpher

Planning on it alright, yourself gonna be up there?

Was there a couple of times last season where only Rovers fans got into the Maldron or was that just for Bohs? Otherwise...why not

For the Bohs matches they allowed Rovers season ticket holders only in if I remember correctly!

It's a bad ground, I was going to be arrested for distrubing the peace!? Shouting abuse at Quigley to his face which started him coming over and a guard jumping in between us. Fun times at the FAI Cup.

A guard saving you from a hiding makes Tallaght a bad ground?

1 nil to the Reds in Drogheda. Didn;t play half bad I must say. Shocking attendence, about 100-120 Shels and no more than that Drogs.

Sounds like a plan. Should be OK, Id imagine the only time we wont be able to meet up in there is when the shower from D7 turn up. Was Season Tickets and Home End tickets only that night. You wont miss me, I have wheels instead of feet and drink tea by the gallon!

Loved the 2 ol' Drogheda lads I overheard on the way out;

"Sure, you'd expect that against a team like Shelbourne".
"Yeah, those players have been playing together for years".
"Against a sold, settled squad we were never going to stand a chance".

And there was me thinking we'd had a clear out and spent most of the game wondering mostly which unknown teenager was which! :pac:

Well it was only a friendly, idk what people expected. 200 on a Thurs night is about right for our core support (or those who could make it anyway). 1000 wouldn't cover 4 officials?

If they had a actually not changed the day of the fixture 48 hours before hand I'd say there would have been at least an extra 50-100 Shels and probably alot more Drogs out. But sure the Celtic match is probably top priority.:D

That was because of the officials actually, who were (apparently) unavailable for Friday.

Ye supposedly, but the FAI have to sanction all friendlies, so unless they didn't know (which wouldn't surprise me) or they just forgot to tell us.
