Wasn't the club. As I mentioned the other day a certain someone probably threw his toys out of the pram again.

Is the Limerick FC thread gone from boards now too?

Still there. Just don't mention he who shall not be named or those who own the MF, might get scared and send you some solicitors letters.

Which is funny because he had a pop at some fans using a business Facebook page for the markets field and then had words with them after the Galway game and then throws his toys out of the pram threatening to take legal action.

Johnny Dunleavy signs back with City for another year. For the lad himself, I really really hope that he gets a bit of luck this season and can see it out. Before the Limerick game last season, he was playing the best football Iv seen him play. We essentially lost three starters mid season, Maguire, O'Connor and Dunleavy. People forget that.

An opposition player I've always admired. Was very close to signing for Dundalk in 2012 under Sean McCaffrey but had the good sense not too and signed for a far more stable Cork. Would have loved to have him at Oriel as he would have been an excellent fit. Hopefully it works out this season for him apart from a few stinkers against Dundalk

Agreed - never seemed up to much at UCD. At the start he seemed the weak link in a couple of really great Dundalk sides, but he's come on a lot to be a top LOI player. Can see his style working out okay in Scotland.

like wise with rovers. Was he not always spouting on about not wanting to play full time too?

Ciaran O'Connor confirmed back to harps. Great to have him and McCourt in the first division

Massive move in the WNL today, Áine O'Gorman is joining Amber Barrett at Peamount. Superb signing for Peamount, hard to see UCD doing well without her.

I thought City had a real chance of RTE team of the year. Thought the usual suspects would be the main competition. Surprised that the show jumpers won it.

At any other time JC would have a real chance of manager of the year, hard to argue with O’Brien, but JC did have a great year.

Think the way the buzz drifted with us falling over the line took away any chance of us being a really "special" team, although the first half of the season was probably the best ever by a LOI team. Caulfield spoke well again, when his manager days are up I hope to god he has some involvement in the club, or even the running of the league, because its clear to see the passion he has for it. Whatever you may think of him, I dont think you could deny that.

Away fans will be glad to know, work has commenced on the building of a toilet block at the back of the St.Annes End at Turners Cross.

Lost a few alright, Vemmelund, McEleney, McMillan, Grimes (Barrett, O’Connor) probably loan out Carlton Ubaezuono by all accounts.

In: Stephen Folan, Patrick Hoban, Ronan Murray and Dean Jarvis. Not sure about Georgie Poynton.

Losing Kilduff and McMillan from last years starting lineup so I would think a forward ‘shy’ at the moment.

Bohs v Rovers first game of the season!

We're still in Dalymount for this season, plans for the redevelopment have been pushed back

Mirror image start to last year. Away to Bohs, home to Dundalk. Away to Sligo to finish.

Initially looking at the fixture list, I forgot that there are four games a side this season...

joeysoap

Notice that week 10 is not a reverse mirror of week 1, that’s pushed back to week11. Week 19 is the same as week 1 and week 28 is the same as week 10

Haven’t noticed that before.

Dundalk need to strengthen in several areas, defence, midfield especially, or they won't challenge this season imo. They won't get too many games out of O'Donnell with his history. Not near strong enough as yet.

bot43

Why so many "midweeks" again? With the league extended by a few weeks would have thought these would have been gotten rid of.

I see the title decider will be September 21st in 2018.

Also the league cup needs to be moved to an early season tournament. The final around the end of May. It only adds to the congestion at the end of the season by having games postponed in Mid September for it.

MD1990

Derry have signed well despite losing players apart from Peers who is way past it.

Hale & McDonagh are two very good signings.

Be interesting to see where Greene ends up.

DvB

Disappointed that 2 of the Rovers v Cork clashes are Mondays...

its why McGettigans have been great sponsors! New jersey sponsor this year but theyre staying on for a few things like this.
tbh didnt expect timlin to sign, thought he'd go to the Irish League

And then when they do move into Tolka they'll be there for an eternity. It'll be the 2030's before Dalymount is finished.

Does anyone know what the craic is with the Dutch 6th tier team paying for LOI sides to go over there in pre-season for a game? Do they have Irish links or something?

Derry were over last year so their fans might know something about it.

Their chairman is an ex pro footballer, who ended up working in Ireland in the 80s.

He has loads of contacts over here.

We played them, Cliftonville too.

What's the name of them again? Shels went over years back too.

RKSV Leonidas from Rotterdam.

Yup that's the crowd we played a few years ago too. If memory serves me right, there's even a pendant from them in our bar.

Those same lads played Wanderers a while back as well, going back ten years maybe.

The property boys are deluded.

The CC don't seem to want to budge on selling the Carlisle and I can't imagine any property developer with half a brain will believe Mulvey's plans can ever come to fruition so why would they buy the club from him?
