League of Ireland 2009

the FAI should have kicked cork out of the league at the start of the season, how did they get a license,

surely they should have been selling all their players if they knew that they had this tax bill

looks like another cork club to fail, shit club, shit county

Yeah poor enough although they had a good few in the first couple of blocks of the stand.

ah right- that explains it a bit

anawful pity such a great city like Cork can’t have a steady soccer club. Great city, great county[/quote]

I agree with you on the first point, as much as i’d like to disagree.

i withdraw my comment

If Cork go then Bray will be the Premier Division’s southernmost club - a farce.

That’s a pity about Cork, not that I like them, just that it doesn’t do the league much good to have teams folding.

Bohs Pats was a bit of a non-event. First half was boring and Bohs were far too good in teh second. Losing Partridge meant Pat’s were stretched and Bohs took full advantage. Thought Carey and Byrne were class.

Where would I find LoI odds online? I’m thinking Jason Byrne for top scorer but I’m not normally a betting man so don’t know where I’d find it online. Bohs at 4/5 for the league seems a good price to me too.

Powers don’t have top goalscorer market priced up, if they don’t then I wouldn’t say anyone else will.

dont rule out the nucleur option of FC biggles going bust pretty soon when you are betting

Gives me no satisfaction, but i told ye this months ago. City are fucked, and their owner is a wanker.

im overjoyed at carks predicament:D:D:D

For all your shite talk about soccer participation etc it makes no sense that your bitter little head can’t see the bigger picture. For soccer its a total disaster in this country to have Bray as the most Southern team.
What i am happy about though is that GAA and rugby will benefit in the long run in Cork. We’re probably more suited to those more manly games anyway, leave the soccer to the nancy boys up around the Pale.:frowning:

the AFL players showed how manly the bogballers are:p

There is a difference between being a man and being a thug. But i suppose considering where your from you’d only ever have interacted with thugs, so i wouldn’t expect you to know the difference.

1 Bohs 16
2 Derry 14
3 Galway 12

Hats off here to Galway. Great start to the season in fairness.
Ian Foster clearly knows his shit.
Howya now Jeff Kenna!!

Agreed, but if there is no-one in the whole county or city capable of running a senior football club, professional or otherwise, that’s the reality.

MNS just started, should be good :frowning:

I watched a wee bit of Galway’s cup game on youtube there and Fozzy obviously has them trying to play football anyway. There’s a couple of moves where the passing is quite slick and intricate, the Barca or Arsenal of the Eircom League if you will. Apparently they went shi’it when they took off O’Shea and Russell and obviously a draw against Salthill is rubbish but what I saw encouraged me. Outrageous piece of skill at 1.48 in the video.

That is quality. If Ronaldo did that for United, Sky Sports News would be having documentary specials on it with pull out supplements in the star.

A disappointing enough start by Wexford Youths so far, with 2 wins and 4 losses. They played 3 of the stronger teams first up and lost to Shelbourne and Sporting Fingal away from home and Waterford in a home derby. They then won two in a row against Longford and Athlone and things were looking up before a home loss to our arch rivals Limerick last weekend. 9 points or above would have been a satisfactory return but 6 points is a bit below par.
