Who: Rovers hero and the greatest talent the league has ever seen Gary Twigg
Where: Tallaght Stadium
When : 8:00-9:45 tonight Vs Sporting Fingal
Twiggy was playing up front in his customary lone striker role and was clearly a level above anyone else on the pitch, He did not look too happy in the first half as the service to him from the rovers midfield was not too good but he canme into his own in the second half with the addition of Dessie Baker who played some sublime passes into him,
On the back of his stunning winner agianst UCD last week Twiggy was clearly a man high on confidence but by some miracle he did not score tonight, no doubt he will right this wrong over the coming weeks.
The game ended one all and was a decent affair,
Alan “ he used to be a hun now he’s rovers number 1” Mannus made 2 miraculous saves from Garry O Neill to keep things at parity but Stev chambers scored a Tony Adams style equalier with a nearpost header from a corner.
Fingal scored a deserved equaliser on 88 when who else but Glen Crowe levelled the match.
I must add that Alan Kirby who was on the ireland youth teams that won those euro titles in 97 / 98 was sublime in the middle of the pitch for Fingal
Who: Ex Shels and Coventry city legend Tony Sheridan
Where: The car park in the Square in Tallaght heading to the match
Tony was dressed in a red checked shirt, torn trainers and jeans and had the look of a lad who was after a few and was a up for a ruck
He is a thin sort with a Liam Gallagher type hairstyle, he was in conversation with a few lads of similar demeanour and was engaging in banter with random ould fellas and passers by on the way.
At half time I noticed Tony on the pitch watching the U-8s game and supporting the kids
Tony truly is an allright sort.
Those in the know will be aware that Tony sored for Shels to put them 3-0 up against the Huns in the 1998 UEFA champioms league first qualifying round at Prenton Park.
the Huns subsequently went on to win 5-3 as Shels fell apart in the last 20 minutes,.
Along with Twiggy and Patsy Freyne, Tony is one of the the greatest players ever seen even tho he was a horrible Shels coont
Who: John Giles
Where : At half time in Tallaght stadium
John was the guest of honour tonight and was invited onto the pitch at half time , he was decked out in a horrendous cream jacket and looked the worse for wear
.John told a few anectdotes about Rovers and then told us Spain will win the world cup
He got a rapturous reception
+1 on all that - twigg had a bit of an off night but the ex hun saves were breathtaking- baker was good when he came on- 1 sensational touch setting up a good chance- an enjoyable game which fingal shaded but SRFC should have won once they went ahead- hoops were way too deep

She is a cracking bird in the flesh and has unbelievable boobies which were on show with the killer combination of a low cut top and push up bra.
She was with another female who was disctinctly average
Under the Link rules that govern this thread since the previous regime was overhauled after THE LINK WALSH gained a landslide victory in a members vote Colm Parkinson and all other current and previous Senior Inter County GAA players are valid celebrity spots.Under the same Link rules nobody involved in League Of Ireland soccerball will be deemed a valid spot.
Until such time as a public vote decides on a change in the current celeb spotting adjudication regime The Link adjudication team will remain as the sole authority on the validity of all reported celeb spots here on TFK.COM.
Glad to be able to clear up any misunderstandings,Colm Parkinson is a spot.
Yours

I don’t know who you are and what you have done to consider yourself adjucator of this thread but you clearly need to take a few sniffs of reality man. I devoted my Saturday to going to places where I was likely to see some celebs in the hope of reporting something back to this site which has delivered so much to all our lives over the past few years.
At this point in the evening I was on such a high that I decided I would go for the jugular and head into Brian Tinnions favourite club on the corner of Stephens Green and Merrion Row. Surely, in somewhere like this, I’m bound to finish my evening off with one last spot of an Irish “celeb”. Sadly, it was not to be and I’m glad to report that this particular establishment is as far up its own hole as everyone thinks it is. However, I was not ashamed to have darkened its door in the hope of helping this site out.
After such an emotional evening I decided the only way to finish it off would be to have a few pints in Reillys on Merrion Row (note - the soundest barman in Ireland). To my surprise as I looked over into the corner from my stool at the bar I noticed Neil Delamere sipping on what was later confirmed as a diet coke. He was there with another Irish comedian who sadly I could not recognise. I drowned my sorrows over the sorry fact that having seen so many people in one day that this Biffo cunt may be the only one that counts as an actual celeb spot. In summary, Link Walsh - you can fuck right off.
Thats a comprehensive report on your days activities Mac,ill give you Mark Cagney and Aidan Cooney as you may have just run into them inj the street,ill give you Niel Delamere aswell,unfortunately thats where it ends,its a bit like the tit Monday scenario here on celeb spotting Mac,you cant push it,these spots can only really happen by themselves.Keep the head up son,its not the end of the world…
Thanks for your opinion Link but you’re failing on the basis that Mark Cagney and Aidan Cooney would struggle to hold celeb status at the best of times. You’ve let this thread descend into a farce where any two bit numpty is considered a celeb so its time this thread reverted back to what it was.
Just to add to the debate and suss out who is charge around here

It’s worth noting that 5 mins later I spotted a tall member of this forum striding past me purposefully but I believe he was there to work as well. Given his “legendary” status it was nearly a celeb spot but alas it wasn’t to be.
