The League of Ireland thread

I enjoyed the occasion but wasn’t the best match. Good first half and two good goals, second half was dull enough. Tanned centre half and no 6 midfield were decent for shels but toothless enough going forward. Great crowd, good atmosphere, comical facilities. I had to walk half way round the pitch to find a jacks at half time and ended up pissing against a fence in an old waste ground corner with a load of other lads. Real football, real people. I’ll be back.

Yeah, 2nd half fell off a cliff in terns of entertainment

Tolka is a dump alright

JC maintained that dump with the basics every second week when Rovers were renting it, I hope they can finally get their act together and bring it up to some sort of standards now that they are staying for the foreseeable

Dermot Keeley interviewed by Des Cahill about his autobiography there on Radio 1. Interesting character. I remember him being absolutely filthy and he more or less admits as much.

I remember a radio commentary by Philip Greene where some little scut punched Keeley and was sent off “probably for his own protection” according to Greene.

Will there be as many lies in it as The Rodfather?

Is Keeley not running a bar in Lanzarote now?

Edit - looks like it closed in 2022

I’d guess that bar didn’t need bouncers.

1-0 to Wexford in the cup semi final. Aaron Dobbs with a poachers finish.

Drogs won it 3-2.

Working man’s Fred Cogley

The state funding sporting academies, it’s an ingenious loophole that Desmond has managed to exploit here.

The atmosphere in Lansdowne Road looks absolutely savage

I had zero idea this was on today until I turned on the telly there - was there less hype than in recent years about it? Still seems to be a monster crowd.

Congratulations to Drogheda.

Higgins/ Derry shitebags till the end

Cracking atmosphere in the aviva. Drogs in total control throughout. Brought our kids with a good pal of mine who captained drogheda to cup final victory before.

The bold Fabio?

The very wan. He got a bit emotional.
