Deserved win for Super Saints tonight.
Entertaining game.
From my vantage point Pats denied a certain penalty and then got awarded a handy one a minute later.
Pats new Dutch centre half had a good game, Killian Brennan was doing well until injury.
#neverrelegated
Yep, only seven points above the drop now. Chris Mulhall left the club today so hopefully a replacement is in the pipeline.
Limerick v Sligo next weekend is a six pointer.
With Cork romping to the title all the excitement is at the other end of the table with 25% of the league being relegated due to the restructure. Pure dogfight. Drogs are the worst team in the league but the other two places could be filled from any of four or five clubs.
Looks like Pats are preparing their fans for the worst with their new shirt sponsor. I wonder if @Ralphie will be buying one of these?
How does a charity sponsoring a Football club work?
Surely money goes to charity. Not on sponsirships.
I wonder about the real value of Pieta House to be honest anyway.
Is it a sponsorship deal or a one off to raise awareness as they say .
Stadium of Light looking stunning
Ian Bermingham’s hooter is also looking resplendent in the summer sunshine.
The draw for the first round of the FAI cup is on at 10:45 this morning.
The big question is, will Shels get Dundalk away for the third season in a row?
First paring in the FAI Cup draw (no replays in first two rounds this year)…Waterford v Shelbourne
Waterford v Shelbourne
Bluebell United v Sherrif YC
Cobh Ramblers v Limerick
Longford Town v Sligo Rovers
Bray Wanderers v Cork City
Dundalk v Derry City
Portmarnock v St Pat’s
Wexford v Crumlin United
Finn Harps v Bohemians
Cabinteely v UCD
Shamrock Rovers v Glenville
Cobh Wanderers v Killarney Celtic
Bangor Celtic v Everton
Ballincollig v Athlone Town
Evergreen v Drogheda United
Killester United v Galway United
Will Cork end up getting a bye ?
Tough draw for Pats.
Cobh away, that’ll do.
No, Bray will limp on until the end of the season.
Super Saints trail by goal at blustery Stadium of Light, after having most of play.
Cracking free kick by McCabe, who is receiving plenty of abuse from the real football men on the Camac terrace.
Think I’ll chance a curry chip at half time.
Big 45mins ahead for the Saints.
Great second half from the Saints.
My relatively new tradition of watching first half from Camac terrace and second half from seats behind goal is paying dividends.
Next 3 games are Drogheda, Sligo and Finn Harps. Capable of 7 points from those games
Hoops winning
Bray Wanderers, aiming high… http://braywanderersfc.ie/bray-wanderers-fc-statement/
Bray Wanderers FC can now officially confirm the club is financially stable for the foreseeable future and have a vision for the future unrivaled by any other Football Club in Ireland.
Wicklow County has unfortunately now attained the accolade of being the North Korea of Ireland for business.
But like all suppressed people, they eventually revolt, a revolution of Football is going to start and Bray Wanderers will be the leaders not just for Wicklow but for Ireland in this revolt.
Ireland produced great world beating players, from Roy Keane, John Giles, Liam Brady, Robbie Keane to Ray Houghton and many many more.
The problem and question is why cannot Ireland produce such great talent anymore.
We at Bray Wanderers are going to answer the questions and solve this problem.
We are going to give Wicklow and Ireland something to be proud of where there will be an academy to rival the best in the world. Our vision and ,rest assured ,we will execute the delivery of our vision is a world class football academy to rival the best in the world.
To achieve this, yes, we are going to and are in preliminary negotiations to buy a new Ground, and will be seeking from Wicklow County Council the rezoning of the land in The Carlisle grounds with the development proceeds used to fund the construction of what will be the best Academy and sporting Grounds in the country.
To keep the club on a sound financial Footing and independently fund this academy and club forevermore, we do have a plan on how to do that.
This will be at no cost to the Exchequer or County Council. But when you operate in North Korea, these options are difficult to achieve, but we will achieve it.
Eventually when we have succeeded in our vision creating the best centre of Excellence in Ireland, based on Academies such as Barcelona Manchester United and other in that caliber, creating the best production line of players in Ireland, we will hand the facility and sustainable business over to a trust who will protect the club and the development of Football in Wicklow & Ireland long after our collective lifetimes.
There will be may naysayers to this and to them, we say,
Ideally we’d bring in Conor McGregor for a quote but our response is,
“One great enemy we must all endeavor to fear not conquering is fear. Fear can cripple purpose and purposeful life. Fear asks question we must fear. Fear makes vision a nightmare. One must always cross the barrier of fear to get to the great city of true purposefulness. A great number of us who are unable to live to accomplish the true reason for our existence on earth are unable to cross the barrier of fear in the first place.”
Those afraid and living Fear, rest assured fear has no place in Bray Wanderers.

Chairman
The Bray chairman is obviously a mentaller.
