Could easily happen if said sugar daddy didn't mind losing a **** ton of money. Is this years version of FM any good, haven't bought it since FM 15?

its ok, i only bought the touch version. The 3D match engine has improved

Id love if they improved the International management in it, its good but can get boring

cheating on Football Manager 2018 and managing Waterford FC but editing the Finance and reputation. I think the transfer balance is E70 million and i have players signed from all over the world including ex and current internationals. Im winning the league by 15 points half way through the season. Go promoted to the Premier Division in 2017 and won the FAI Cup too

Would it work in real life if a suger daddy bought an Irish club and made them into a power house ???. It would prob end up like the Scottish league

Red Bull Salzberg will give you the answer.

Strong rumours going round that the US investment company that own 25% of Bournemouth are looking to takeover Dundalk so it's possible we see this scenario play out.

As a Dundalk fan it makes me nervous as its high risk high reward. The reward being the possibility of a new stadium (or at least modernisation of the kip that is Oriel Park) and consistently challenging for European qualification. The risk being if they withdraw funds because they realise qualifying for Europe is harder than they thought then the club's very existence could be at risk (again).

Nope.

Better have tried, and better have failed, but I won't budge on my opinion regarding Queen.

It's really sad seeing the state of Scottish football. Team that walked the league last year getting battered regularly in Europe. No true competition at home, no hope abroad.

I wasn't even born when a non-Glasgow team last won the SPL in 1985. That's a good pub quiz question btw. For a bonus point, can you name their manager?

For some reason I was convinced it was Kilmarnock, turned out they haven't won it since the 60s :pac:

Whatever about a united Irish national team, I'd love to see a United Irish league. It would add some decent teams to the mix and make Division One somewhat decent.

Ive often heard this said but I don't really think it works. The Setanta Cup wasn't ground breaking crowd wise and that's the top teams against the top teams. I can't imagine Dungannon Swifts vs Bray Wanderers doing magic gates tbh.

Yeah that's true, I'd just like more decent teams in the League to be honest. I'd imagine Kerry will one in the future although my brother recently stated that he feels Killarney Celtic will be in the League of Ireland before Kerry.

Also, it's Christmas day here in College and the only lecture I have today was called off last night so I'm trying to wrap up an essay and study for an exam tomorrow morning so I can go out

Kerry District League have teams in the U19s, U17s and U15s, with the U13s coming in 2019 hopefully the next step for them would be looking at a senior team in the next 4 years. Only other team in Kerry that has shown an interest were Dynamos, can't see them making a move to enter the league as long as the KDL are involved in the underage leagues.

The Mayo Football League brought out their own strategic plan in 2016 that aimed to have a Mayo representative team competing in the National Under-17 league in 2017 and then having a team compete in the National U-19 league come 2019. The 17s team didn't happen but they took part in the truncated 15s season and hopefully take part again in 2018 so hopefully along with Kerry we see a Mayo team in the league.

I was told last night that colleges nowadays are sending paramedics out on official student events to accompany the students. Is this true? Sounds nuts but then you think about it from a legal perspective and it’s not so ridiculous.

I've seen a few ambulances on the NUIG campus when there have been events on going, so it's true, it's damn true (sorry) for NUIG at least, not entirely sure about colleges around the country.

That’d be a pain in the ass of a job for the paramedics tbh.

Might be civil defence. You would normally see them at events large enough to justify medical assistance on sight.

Don’t think so. The chap who told me was saying the paramedics had to accompany students to pubs and clubs.

Anyone have experience with Amazon lightning deals? I'm just after ordering a neon Nintendo Switch bundle with Mario Rabbids & Super Mario Odyssey for £300 and wondering if I'll definitely get it or should I prepare myself for a 'no stock available email'. I added it to my basket, it said 100% claimed & I had 15 minutes to put through my order which I did and got an order number so hopeful that I have it.
