pre-season friendlies

Do Spurs come over every year for a friendly? I ask because I'm still kicking myself for missing last year's game against St Pats. I saw threads about it but it just never occured to me that I could go see my favourite team by travelling up from Limerick.

The sad thing is I've never seen Spurs play but if they come over this year I'll be the first person getting a ticket.

Maybe now with Hughton gone they won't come over though....

We played Bohs a few years ago as well, lads treated it as a midweek pissup and got tanked 3-0...:mad:

Very unlikely we'll see the team visit Ireland for pre-season this summer, we're off to Rotterdam in August for a tournament with Feyenoord, Celtic and Dortmund. We're also playing Norwich in late July.

You must have an option out of Shannon to Stansted that you could make a league game next year?

3-1 Ginger Pele notched one in off his left buttock

That night was an absolute disgrace - my lowest point as a Spurs fan.

If my memory serves me right, hoddle did'nt even turn up that night and left it to Gorman to handle, I was sitting behind our dugout, I gave him awful stick in the 2nd half. Tarrico played well as I remember.

Yep, no sign of Hoddle and Tarrico had a mare (along with the other 10 knobs)

True. persoally I'd prefer to watch paint dry rather than travel anywhere beyond crossing the road the for a friendly.

I remember the night they played a feast of football in Limerick in 1981 - when they won 6-2 with 4 from Hoddle - also 3-0 in Cork in 1989 with both Garys and Gazza on the scoresheet - far cry from the Bohs and Pats games.

Age is a great thing - you forget all the ****e in between!!

I went to the game against Bohs in Dalymount with my godson - what an absolute waste of an evening and we got soaked just to rub it in.
It just goes to prove my point that friendlies are a waste ot time and only an excuse to rip off the public.

Dunno away days are always good craic though I will concede that its often a case of "A good day out ruined by the football"
