No other details available at the moment.Question? Has a LOI match ever been moved by request or other from a home ground to an away ground ?

Said they can't afford to carry Patrick McEleney as well.... he was meant to have had a falling out a few days ago with them. long may his reign continue

The likes of MNS/Soccer Republic are great, but they're generally preaching to the converted. These kind of things portray the clubs to a new audience. A few seasons ago, there was a feature about City on Nationwide on RTÉ and it got a lot of the city talking about us. Another couple of good posters done for Bohs tomorrow night. Including a version as Gaeilge, which has been well received by the Gaelic community in Cork.
Pighead wrote: » There's actually a report just gone up on RTE website with his comments. Collins said: “The problem is, we're not creating enough chances and that's what his job is. He is a finisher. “He doesn't give much other contribution to the team. He doesn't work hard. He doesn't chase the ball down, get it back for you or hold it up particularly well. But he is an exceptional finisher. “I don't see the reason to have a finisher in the team until we start creating some chances so that is the thinking behind that one. Until we get it down and start creating chances for someone to put away, there is no point wasting a player in the team.” "That's what makes you a great team. We've got one part 100 per cent correct. We've conceded one goal from open play in the whole season." Ouch! Wouldn't imagine Patterson is too impressed with the comments in bold! Also, Collins speaking through his hoop again re goals conceded. Says they only conceded one goal from open play all season yet Dundalk scored two from open play against them in their 3-0 win. Surely they weren't the only two goals scored in open play against them all season?
