Airtricity 11 vs Man. Utd - **MOD NOTE POST 457**

dsmythy

They thrashed an MLS All-Star team so same story to the LOI All-Stars 11 here methinks. It will be a fun occasion nonetheless though.

Nice looking team.
Interesting to see what Carrick, Vidic and Owen are like.

They lost in Kansas though, didn't they? Wouldn't be reading too much into friendly results.

If only "mucksavages" support Man U, and a "mucksavage" comes from sligo or castlebar, how many "mucksavages" fit in the new Lansdowne Road?


In all seriousness, I wasnt that impressed with the state of the stadium for the rugby considering the amount of lula and time spent on it. Have seen far better stadia built in the recent past for far less cash.
That being said and in the words of our leader, we are where we are and we've got what we've got.

Decent side for the LOI. I'd only have added Chambers, Mannus, Twigg and maybe Sives to it myself.

The fact that there are no Rovers players in the side suggests to me that they've boycotted the game?

They have a UEFA Cup game on Thursday so players weren't considered. Wouldn'y say boycotted though tbh.

Hopefully our fans have though! With a bit luck a few of the boez players will pick up an injury and United will lose, that's what i'm hoping for tonight anyway.

Wouldn't have minded going to be honest if I could've got my hands on a free ticket, more to see the stadium than anything else.

I see they used the MNS theme at the start

Couldn't cough up the extra bit of cash for names on the Airtricity League jerseys?

I'm just being picky now.

Panthro

MagicMarker

That away strip is gonna take A LOT of getting used to!

GLaDOS

Alan Kelly the ref, didn't realise that xD

frantic190

dreamers75

wow the atmosphere is cracking

if Mulcahy plays he will be the only player to play in the last game in Ld Road and 1st in Aviva.

Not a full house by the looks of things anyways

Is it just me or are the cameras in croke better quality than the ones here ? These don't seem to have the best resolution, even though they are SD.

niallith

just a question about the stadium, wats the deal with the lack of seats behind one of the goals?? why didnt they just make it onebig dome if you will rather than a 3/4 stadium with f all seats in one area ?

frantic190

Ryan Guy should of taken that throw :P The Rory Delap of the LOI, along with Stephen Rice.

They are probably the same cameras and they are most likely HD cameras being used.

It would stop the houses from getting sunlight or something to that effect.

They weren't allowed to build it high because of residential housing directly behind the stand.

ShooterSF

Strange watching Evans at full back.

OH I Valencia

The same reason Croke Park hasn't got the full bowl effect at the Hill 16 end.

I can't believe numpties here still don't know why the stadium is shaped like a bidet

MagicMarker

Good to see Carrick back to his old self.

Diabhal Beag

Great move. Deserved a goal.
