Greatest League in the World 2026 [LOI Thread]

We got a draw against Dundalk, but not sure how.

I have never seen us string as few passes together as tonight. We looked like a bunch of guys you'd see down at your local 5aside. Truly awful stuff.

Conditions were terrible, but that doesn't excuse what I had to watch.

Kept it private too which I respect. Nothing wrong with going public but obviously just wanted to deal with the treatment and overcome it which he has thankfully.

Hopefully see him back in the not too distant future.

has been since before Covid in fairness.

Best I've ever seen it, on a regular basis. I've been going since the late 90s, and even when Shels were conquering Europe in the 00s you'd have Tolka Park heaving midweek for the likes of Steaua, but then 200 lads in the place for a match vs Derry.

At the moment, it's always 4k+ for games, often closer to 5k and now with the Drumcondra Stand open again close to 6.5k in for the really big games

it's great to see, and it's going to continue to grow as the population increases too. There are 7.1m people on the island now, compared to 5.6m in 2001

There are 18m people in The Netherlands and the Eredivise has about 19k average gate. I think as the population grows in Ireland we will see the gates continue to grow, and that breeds interest like a domino affect. Already in my kids class in school (5th class) there are about four or five lads who regularly attend LOI games with their parent(s), and on his football team too there are a couple of lads going to matches too.

When I was his age, I don't think I knew anyone who went to LOI, not on my own team nor in my class. It's fairly normalised now, I think.

Theres going to be a protest on the M50 at 7

3-0 to Pats at ht.

We're missing five key players but that doesn't excuse how poor we are. Dreadful effort so far.

Disappointing to lose in Dundalk but they're an excellent side. Probably the most cohesive attacking team we've faced this season. They create so many chances. Great mix of youth and experience in the team. Kilduff is going a great job there.

Yeah was a great game to watch on telly. Bohs really should have gotten at least a draw IMO. Danny Grant very good for Rover's, Boh's should never have let him leave.
