    It is great to see a high profile appointment like Sheridan, and I hope for great things for the club.

    My excitement is somewhat tinged with concern though, as throughout his managerial career Sheridan has little consistency. Hopefully he will be more 'settled' here than he apparently was in some previous jobs.

    At least we had them at home last season but with Dundalk back training a few weeks before it’s an absolute nightmare of a draw.

    The auld FAI haven’t started great, seems like the same BS. I’ll give them longer time to start showing changes for the better.

    6 away and 2 at home to start off with and away in the cup ffs What a nightmare start

    Dundalk away twice in 4 days (both cup and league)

    looking forward to the restart and hoping we have some success with the new regime. Sadly not good enough for silverware but hoping we push for a European place

    No idea if we can go watch or what the live stream set ups are. Gear to have it back though. Depending on squad but were looking okay.

    With most if not all those games being played behind closed doors its not as big a disadvantage as it first appears. By the time crowds are allowed back we'll have more home games.

    Guy always has bad luck seems a nice guy and good player for us. Hopefully we might get a decent forward on loan. Troy Parott would be grand

    €55 for the rest of the season or €5 a match

    Think season ticket holders can get it for free

    Great idea the clubs should keep running when it’s done, imagine being able to pay a fiver to watch the away games for your club, great revenue earner for the club on away days. This is the chance for the LOI to promote themselves across TV. Even if someone couldn’t make it to a home game wouldn’t it be much better to earn a fiver off that person then nothing at all.

    Yeah, that season we were promoted, he was electric for the fans. The kind of fella that keeps you watching/buzzing, Elbouzedi the same more recently.

    Didnt he go to Lincoln City ?, Dundulk were after him

    He seemed a mainstay in the last few Irish under 21 sides (which was a very strong squad).

    All island league will be the only way we’ll see him at the RSC but the Irish Leagues anything is possible, it was unreal time with Bastien and Co they really gelled so well together. Say they’d some wild nights lol

    Yeah, he's gone, don't know where, you're probably right

    It seems his attitude doesn’t match his skills, I even noticed with The Blues he just gets disinterested and I’ve heard that allot when he signed first. Still take him back lol

    Who got injured last night, didn’t see the match but my mate was dating the guy doing the game via Patreon was atrocious. Said he could clearly hear his conversations with whoever he was there with and the video was cat. This guy is apparently the media officer, thank god the Streams won’t be through them for the season. Said he couldn’t even zoom properly ffs
