LOI season 2018

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · February 16, 2018, 11:12am

Agreed

We don’t have a proper sports culture here where people attend games regularly

look at Cork GGA - lucky to get 1000 for their first round of munster- 100k looking for tickets for an all oireland

Mean while their LOI team has a loyal following - If each city had one well supported team in the top tier it would be epic - Galway/Limerick/Waterford flip flopping between leagues and number of fans. - Those teams need to reach out to wider community and not just expect fans to turn up. Limerick have made great strides in recent years but still not reaching out to wider community and maximizing opportunity

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · February 16, 2018, 11:20am

Yes, it would be great, LOI or IL fans that go every week are the best fans in Ireland imho.

Real football men.
You will never hear anyone waffle on about expected goals at a LOI game

Bumped for @Mac

@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy, I see Aaron Dobbs scored twice for Ireland u19s this week. Think he’s out on loan with Wexford Youths for the season. How far off a starting spot with Rovers would he be?

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · February 16, 2018, 2:14pm

he is still very young isn’t he, he is going to be class. don’t think they see him as breaking into the team this season

2 goals for Oireland is brilliant

cant say more than that mate

Mac · February 16, 2018, 2:19pm

Just turned 19 I think. I’d thought if he was that good he’d be close to starting with Rovers rather than hacking around the lower league with Wexford.

Hopefully he’s not another Conor Clifford

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · February 16, 2018, 2:22pm

just been told by my man in the club that

“celtic have first dibs”

@thedancingbaby will be all over him now the vile cunt

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · February 16, 2018, 2:22pm

soz for snapping @thedancingbaby

Mac · February 16, 2018, 2:25pm

SPL would be next logical step after a season in Division 1. A season there then he could handle the step up to Airtricity Premier League

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · February 16, 2018, 2:32pm

agreed

Exit from Phibsboro Luas station, would expect some Bohs schooligans will spend their evening hanging around here to hurl abuse at the visitors

thedancingbaby · February 16, 2018, 5:12pm

Nice pic mate. Do you take snaps of many Luas stop exits ?

Ralphie · February 16, 2018, 5:50pm

A few. More character on the red line stop to be honest.

Copper_pipe · February 16, 2018, 7:25pm

Derry down the other side of the country and they still don’t know whether game will be played as of 19:23.

EDIT: Game goes ahead. As of 19.24

Matty_Hislop · February 16, 2018, 7:30pm

Thanks for the updates.
