We still have your Nike Air Max, from your left foot, that you left behind the last time you ran away… we just want to give it back to you, pal.
We?
All I recall is the hoops scarfers taking the steering wheel
Id hate to think what the hoolies would have done
We ran you - I seem to recall you lot shitting yourself hiding behind a police escort leaving the city.
fucking hell
they just bumped the dundalk europa leagie profits and spread accross the lot
good jesus
odd that it was SRFC fans who were arrested
that would suggest that we followed in Cromwells footsteps and took Limerick
ah the 3 teams relegated is old news
that’s to make the 10/10 league split
see my posts above for how this is a disaster for the first div, no playoffs this year
Who else would they arrest? A load of scumbags down from Dublin or the locals … easy choice - the scumbags got it on every front that night… cement blocks in over the wall on top of you

I mentioned two teams I hoped would go down
Alternative facts alive and well at the FAI
Bizarre to be showing Drogheda v Cork. United Park is probably the biggest dump in the league after Finn Park.
That UUCOAM Caulfield is seething after alright sort Kenny Browne has walked out on Cork and returned to home town club Waterford.

Cork did lay down a bit of an early marker yesterday, beating Dundalk 3-0. I know it’s a nothing match really and they beat Dundalk a few times last year (although lost the one that was probably the title decider), Dundalk looked a bit off. Maguire absolutely did Barrett for his goal.
It took Dundalk a while but they have made some signings who could be decent- Michael Duffy, Tommy Stewart, Steven Kinsella, Conor Clifford… you’d expect Hoare & McGrath to do well. But there definitely could be a bedding-in period; even though they’ve lost players for the past few seasons, it’s been pretty much the same starting base group of 15 or so and adding 1 or 2 to replace those lost. That type of continuity can’t be underrated.
Cork have lost Browne from their starting team, and while they seemed to be fuming over losing Ogbene, he probably wouldn’t have been a starter. Mark O’Sullivan was a favourite of Caulfield’s but he’s not a huge loss & Holohan/Morrissey were useful squad players but you’d think the players they’ve brought in will cover them. You’d nearly have to make them favourites.
Rovers are the other team who’ve brought in some big players- getting Finn was a big coup, Meenan is a fine player aswell, as is Connolly. I don’t really know much about the players they signed last week from England- Bone & Burke but there is definite strengthening there. But I don’t know if they have enough to mount a serious title challenge, has Bradley shown anything to suggest he’s capable of doing htat?
I think Cork are a great price to win the league at 11/4. While Browne is a huge loss they’ve kept nearly everyone else of their first choice 11. Probably overly dependent on Maguire though and if he gets injured the goals may dry up.
It would be some achievement for Dundalk to win the four in a row. Would they have won the league last season without Horgan, Finn and Boyle? No chance. At some stage losing players like that has to catch up with you.
Rovers seemed to have recruited well but they’ve been well off the pace of the other two recently and to suddenly turn into champions under a rookie manager who is trying to gel what is pretty much a new team could be a step too far.
Predictions
- Cork
- Rovers
- Dundalk.
Relegated - Drogheda, Harps and Bohs.

Great chat with one of the Cork coaches in the gym earlier… They were sickened by Ogbene leaving - He was demanding more money and they told him relax, you’re only just after breaking into the team but he went off in an instant. As for Browne, has more interest in going to the pub with his mates in Waterford than travelling to play games… It was put to him that they had a great chance of winning the league and his response was that he had won it before and off he went.
They are fairly confident ahead of the season and delighted to have a Munster derby back.
Most or all of the coaching staff are former club legends, if it was biscuits you were talking to you should have logged it in the celeb thread.
