maybe there are just naming 11 starters and 7 subs - rather than having a squad of players they take from their clubs and not use in any way at all. I assume if anyone gets injured or pulls out they will look to call on a replacement.

dreamers75

Full Standy by list
Peter cherrie: Dundalk.
Alan Keane: Sligo Rovers.
Patrick McEleheny: Derry City.
Dave Mulcahy: St Pats.
Ciaran Kilduff: UCD.
Padraig Amond: Sligo Rovers.
Fahrudin Kudozovic: Dundalk


couldnt find the other thread

I would have had Amond in ahead of Guy.
Good to see Ger Doherty in there from the First Division. He's been very good all season.
Another player I would have had in there is Ronan Finn, ahead of Richie Ryan.

Pinturicchio

Slightly surprising that Seamus Conneely didn't even make the stand by list.

cant believe neither faz or cherrie didnt make squad:mad:

Jesus just saw on the LOI site that it's €60 for a ticket! Madness for a pre-season kick about! Still, there'll be hordes of scarf waving United fans lining up to pay it.

Green and yellow scarfs no doubt! God I love ironic protests.

That was my exact same thought, thought he would have at least made the stand by list if nothing else.

funninghly enough my ticket cost me only 45euro.

if your going to start having a dig, at least get your facts right and not selective stats. the 2 lower sideline stands are 60euro and the other 5 sections are 45euro.

and looking at the fai site, its only 45euro tickets left on sale.

45 is still a bit of a joke tbh.

indeed it is, but all sports fixtures in this country are a joke.

the gaa is very expensive, the rugby is worse than both put together almost. my seats in old trafford cos 27 pounds a game, some difference.

You cant really make the comparison though betwenn a major corporation and sporting organisations.

There really should be a more diverse mix of players I feel. Nearly all bohs lads. No UCD or Dundalk starters.

Wish the clubs refused to let any player take part in this.... but there ya go.

probably more bohs lads due to the fact rovers are not involved now.

Dundalk players are all suspended


And bohs players on special buy one get one free atm.

adamski8

so what happened to everyone saying that the clubs wouldnt release their players for this game?
are they getting some money for playing or something?

Oat23

How the f**k has the leagues top scorer only made the standby list?

That being said I don't want any Sligo Rovers players playing in this.

Shocking that Guy is ahead of him.

stovelid

Amazed that some clubs are going for this? Can anybody shed some light?

Perhaps Bohs and Galway are already trying to keep the FAI sweet in advance?

Ciaran Kilduff was on MNS this week saying he would jump at the chance to be the first team to play in the new stadium. A lot of the players do want to play this game Stovelid

Indeed, I would imagine this game is a shop window for a lot of players. Then again, it's the clubs who sanction the release of the players.

Plus it is a big game for any LOI player. New stadium against Man U isn't going to come along too often.

I'm sure they do. I was just wondering why their clubs are letting them.

Fairly sure FAI made sure it wasnt an option. I did hear the players are getting paid so fair fecks to them. Also heard best Angry midfielder in the league said no. Hope to **** kenna doesnt get injured or embarrassed superb player for us this year.

Well, if he's marking Berbatov, it'll be a handy training session for Kennavarro!! :cool:

Why isnt Amond already in the first 11 let alone the Squad, thats a joke must be embarrasing for the manager to leave out the leagues top scorer, he has some neck.

The manager is a rovers fanboi who hates pats.

im kinda happy he only picked 3 of us, terrified if rogers or kenna get injured tho.

Paddy Madden the only striker I would have picked from that team TBH. Guy wont get a look in - lets face it - United are gonna have a stroll in the park - this is the first game for Rooney, Vidic, and co who were at world cup - id be surprised if Ronney didnt bang in 4 or 5. Id say the LOI team will be wishing they were never picked once the game is over!!

ah come on! your not gonna judge him or any player for that matter on that mockery of a World Cup are you!?? if so, Torres, Gerrard, Lampard, the whole french and italian team, they are all useless!! Ronney banged in over 30 goals last season - he will do the same this year, without question.

Wanna put a few quid on him not scoring +30 this season?

not really beacuse the odds wouldnt be very appealing!! He is more than capable of it - if he doesnt get 30 he will get very close to it - the point I was making anyway is that he will make a mockery of the LOI defence - just like TNS did to Bohs last week - and lets face it - the LOI team might as well be the Bohs team.

No P Amond and no Damian Lynch i think is a bit crap. I'm neither a Pats nor a Sligo fan but Amond has been quality all season and Lynch has been playing all across the back four for Pats this season. In my opinion, two obvious ommissions.

Yes well im confused as to what you disagree with - you never mentioned it

Your comment was looking for a rise and you got it.

"Rooney will score 4/5 goals"

Has Rooney ever score this amount in a single game before?

Yes he scored 4 goals against Hull in Jan 2010 - not long ago - I think Hull are slightly better than a LOI team - Thank you

I think you're overestimating Hull tbh.

United are highly unlikely to score 4-5 goals in total in the game, never mind Rooney getting them all, especially when if he plays he's unlikely to play more than 45 minutes.

Of course everyone would expect United to win the game, but that doesn't mean it'll be an embarrassment of any description.

In any event this is the Airtricity squad thread not a match discussion so please keep on-topic from here on out.

Damien Lynch hasn't had the best of seasons, tbh.

After watching Dundalk's two matches against Levski Sofia, I can. At least 4/5 of the goals were down to him.

Youd think this was a 23 man champions league squad being picked for the season the way some people are going on - its a once off Mickey Mouse game - The squad was probably picked from a hat over a pint or two of Beamish

Its the chance of a lifetime to play against the best team in the world;), maybe you never would have that ambition but i can assure you most airtricity players would be delighted to play in this game

Stevecw

Its a disgrace that the leagues top scorer Amond is not in the squad for this. Not only should he be in the squad, but be starting as the leagues best hope for a goal.

Its very wrong, this is a chance for him to prove himself against some top defenders and maybe secure a move to championship or whatever, but somehow he's only a standby ?????

Have the FAI actually got it in the contract that Manchester have to play their first team? Actually, now that I read that sentence back, I already know the answer.

Glad he's not in the squad so
