    I'm a maybe for this.

    Yeah I'll go along if there's a group going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,032 ✭✭✭FrankGrimes

    I'll go to this if we get a decent crowd out. Also, as I missed most of the season due to injury I wouldn't expect a medal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 214 ✭✭thelepo


    NO
    We haven't had a night out in a while, might as well lads.

    You are getting a medal Jules.

    As are Mick, Lepo and Cathal. They've been a part of this team since the very start.

    I'd like one myself, so the rest of you can fight over the rest of them.

    I'll definitely be going to the presentation evening.

    Yeh, I'll definitely go. And think you should decided Des who gets medals. As opposed to randomnly handing them out which is a bit unfair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,357 ✭✭✭emc2


    NO
    Just an idea on the medal situation. If there's not enough to go around and we have a couple of quid left after paying fees for the summer season we look at getting a couple more medal for the rest of the squad (obviously only ones who were around for at least 1/2 or 3/4 of the season).

    I am heading to this, I think we've put in hard work this season and we're getting our just rewards, A little bit more of a push and we'll be collecting winners medal in the summer!

    i was actually going to post this also, this is the perfect idea. ive seen player of the year awards, medals missing etc etc cause more hassle than good down through the years. ive seen lads some to blows over things like this.

    we need to be very very careful not to leave anybody out. we have a squad of 22 inc the gaffer and that means we should do as Mikie has said. im sure a quick mail to astro.ie before next thursday would suffice explaining we have a massive panel.

    as regards the nite itself, looks like we are all heading so, im sure Dan, Art, Mick and Ciaran will also go so looks like we will have 15 or more there at least (this also could be another way of solving the medal thing :) )

    I'm sure there will be people who only played a couple of games who wont want medals anyway.

    everybody deserves one. as far as i can see, everybody on the list of 21 would have been to at least 8/9 games each and in reality, alot more. Larry is the only exception. i would estimate that the majority of that squad only missed 4 or 5 games max with most only missing 1/2 games. we had the same 15/16 down for most games and then a few lads who rotated here and there, such as the lads that couldnt play on Mondays. anybody that wasnt interested was gone off the squad by game 3 or 4.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    NO
    Like who :D

    I wasn't talking about anyone in particular. What I meant was, some people only came to a few games (Larry for example) and if I was in that situation I wouldn't feel like I deserved a medal. I wasn't talking about people like yourself or Daryl who attended nearly every game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    NO
    we will defo have at least 12/13 going to this, the lads that dont post will go also im sure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_

    OK, here's the situation with the medals.

    I'll be taking them all with me on Thursday evening, if there is a presentation where you get them around your neck, you take it off and hand it to me after we sit down.

    I'll then go and get the extras, and then hand them out at a later date.

    This way nobody can say they got a "real" one or not and nobody is left disappointed with only getting one of the extras.

    Does that seem fair?

    i would think that you will just get a box des with the medals in it, as if theres 11 divisions with 3 presentations and then 4 or 5 awards, we would be there all night!!

    but ya, if thats the case, sounds fair to be honest. are we going on the beer elsewhere beforehand?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    NO

    I'm working until 7.

    Also, lads, don't be expecting me to buy a round from the team money this night, I need to keep the kitty as tight as possible, seeing as only 11 people have paid so far.

    I've only got two others confirmed for payment by tomorrow.

    i updated the list, i assume 2 that didnt text me, text you unless ciaran text you also. looking at it, we are probably only missing 4, max 5 lads anyway who can play again next season from the current squad, leaving only 2 people that have not commited to paying.

    Lepo is transferring today, and Cathal is paying tomorrow.

    Is Ciaran paying cash or transferring?

    cool that makes sense, i have told ciaran to text you.

    Peter and Derek text me also to confirm that they are not playing :(

    so, 14 are in so far, only Dave, Gar, Mark and Clayton to confirm, i will leave that to you Des! I would think Dave and Clay are in, so as it stands squad size is 16, not including the 4 potential new lads Collie, TAone, Eoin and Conor.

    Did he say he's paying tomorrow, or what?

    Grand, I'll assume Larry is out too, because I haven't heard from him since that game in Wesley.

    I'll ask Gav about Gar tomorrow.

    So that's possibly 3 out, Martin undecided, and we are adding a potential 5.

    I recommend the Ginger Man. Just two seconds down the road. As you turn off Westland Row it's just on the left. Nice place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,357 ✭✭✭emc2

    There's a pub next to the hotel called the gingerman. Head for Pearse st. station, if you're facing the station with your back to trinity go right and then left at the lights it's on the left handside.

    I love The Gingerman, they have the Franciscan Well drinks fro Cork.

    Oh yes.

    I'm off at 7, so will be over for about 7.20 or thereabouts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed

    It's a great little spot as well. They do pitchers of their own lager and ale too. Good stuff it is.

    I'll send a text.

    Martin, that isn't strictly their own beers, they are brewed in Cork, and can also be bought in The Bull And Castle, under a different name.

    Bloody lovely beers though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    NO
    Ah ok, didn't realise that. Good beers though. The ale is pretty damn fine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,357 ✭✭✭emc2

    Yea that's quality beer, I spent 9 months in Cork and the Franciscan Well was my local.
    The gingerman do nice pub grub too if people are coming straight from work and haven't had food.

    Good session last night lads, wrecked today though! The flashbacks of that hideous looking creature that came over to us towards the end in the Porterhouse ain't helping - I've seen smaller wilderbeasts in my time.

    Well run event by Astro and fair play to them for collecting feedback on how to make improvements.....even if the chick clearly got more than she bargained for when we started ranting at her. I doubt they'll do anything about the goal difference, but if they at least give the refs instruction to treat players with respect, that would be a big improvement.

    Think each one of us left the event with an increased hunger for next season after seeing the cups and hoodies being handed out......I wants one of them!
