I should be looking forward to the return of the league, but the hope is gone. Hopefully Harry will have lit a fire under their arses!

Remember to keep your eyes peeled for elderly couples who need their tyres changed while on your way to the match.

I can see the Indos headline now.
"League of Ireland Fans harass elderly couple".

Friend of mine the other day:

"The Irish football fans are great aren't they? All those videos and their support is pretty incredible over there too. Would love to go"

Me:

"Bohs are playing on Friday. Come to that instead and we'll have a few pints"

Friend:

"I wouldn't watch that shíte"

:pac:

It was interesting to watch people complain about the quality of players in the Irish team. We have the team we deserve. If people arent going to support Irish clubs, they'll never have the resources to develop the better players the international team needs.

Sadly, so do I. Stop this season, I want to get off.

Back to reality! Hoping for a win against Waterford!

In fairness there should be an extra buzz around all the grounds on Friday night, can't imagine any LOI fan not feeling just a little hyped right now, although unfortunately no increased attendance.

Well done to everyone going to watch a football match this weekend. Incredible achievement!!

Don't forget to brag endlessly on social media about how great you are and demand an award for not indulging in criminal behaviour.

I'm sure it'll all be endlessly covered by Joe.ie, balls.ie and the Indo.

Lucena

I'm not going to the football this weekend, but just by posting on here I should get the freedom of the city!

C'mon Dublin Rovers!

Another ****e crowd in Oriel tonight. Ridiculous that the Champions of Ireland can barely get 2000 people through the gate for a game against Pats.

I'd say Kenny has to be feeling under appreciated. The man has performed miracles over the kast three years and there's fcuk al people turning up to shoe their appreciation.

On the game itself Pats were very poor. Think old Liamo's time is up. They played like complete minnows. Sat back, barely attacked us and didn't even get stuck in. So placid. New manager needed I reckon to put some fire back into their bellies. We didn't play great but McEleaney was excellent and it was nice to see Kilduff get a goal and an assist. Cork won't win this league. Beat us then fcuk up against a poor Rovers side. Same old story.

Sounds to me more like a certain family have poisoned their dressing room.

Don't be silly. A certain family played a big part in your season last year.

Pats have lost big players like Bolger, Chambers, Brennan and Browne and replaced them with players of inferior quality. Pretty simple. They were always very strong in the middle of the park and now it's arguably their biggest weak point.

Another 3pts for us at the Brandywell last night, although hard fought, Wexford played well and could easily have had a couple.

Not surprised to hear Pat's were poor. I think the players stopped playing for Buckley a while ago and he's too nice a man to motivate them when it's got to this point.

Bohs v Galway was very entertaining in the first half. Second half both sides lacked the intensity of the first half, both teams tired and late on both probably settled for the draw.

Don't think that's the problem, We are simply lacking quality, in the middle of the pitch particularly. We lost Chris Forrestor, Killian Brennan and Greg Bolger and the players who've replaced them are just not up to it. Added to that. Liam is not a man to take a "pragmatic" approach and is still trying to get the team to play passing football, which the midfielders are not good enough to do.
