6.0 vs Cabinteely not sure what the point was of playing us, they wont play anyone like us in the 1st division. Hard to judge them other than they are all really really small. They had a shot tho.

AgileMyth · 16-02-2015 11:07pm

Don't really know where the negative opinion of elding comes from. Scored in most games he's played in our league. Can't say that about anyone else.

He started off exceptionally well at Sligo but his form took a nosedive.

I wonder if some of them were trialists or was that their first choice team. Weren't really up to much anyway.

Their kit looks like Northern Ireland's

The teams form did. Then North took his place and also failed to score much.

When two good strikers are failing to score you have to think maybe its not entirely their fault.

Report on foot.ie

Meeting due to take place tonight between Wexford Football League, FAI and Wexford Youths to secure future of Ferrycarrig Park. Essentially, proposal will involve substantial payment from Wexford League for right to use facilities with option for Mick Wallace to buy back the grounds after ten years. John Delaney will be in attendance.

FAI has already agreed price with receiver for Ferrycarrig

Sounds like a good resolution for us, since presumably we won't be paying rent to anybody. Could have gone a lot worse

Hopefully, there will be additional resources for maintenance. The complex is in severe need of TLC

Mulcahy back to Bohs

overshoot · 17-02-2015 5:11pm

Robbed from our forum, altho looks like it was cut from somewhere else

Bray Wanderers are one of three clubs who have yet to be granted a licence to compete in the League of Ireland this coming season.

Bray are the only Premier Division club to not receive a licence. Cobh ramblers and Athlone Town are the other clubs awaiting approval from the Independent Club Licensing Committee of the FAI.

The committee are seeking clarification from bray in relation to its application, and further information from Athlone and Cobh.

The committee awarded 12 Premier Division licenses and five First Division licenses. If Bray are unable to meet the criteria required then Waterford Utd would be next in line to take the vacant Premier Division slot, as the next ranked club with a Premier Division licence.

im sure as usual it will all pan out... still imagine Waterford going up after finishing second last behind shams B...

15 different clubs in about as many years, Terrible attitude and literally offers nothing from open play. He gave some of the worst striker performances i've ever seen in the Showgrounds.

gimmick · 17-02-2015 5:39pm

Yup. Screams journeyman. Was a complete and utter disaster at Cork City. Not sure did he even play 200 minutes. Was glad to see the back of him.

Whats Derry? His 17th club?

Limerick FC have released a statement in relation to the Markets Field

http://www.limerickfc.ie/statement-from-the-chairman-markets-field

CHealy · 17-02-2015 7:23pm

I know Limerick were banking on a March in Markets Field to keep them going. This could be absolutely disastrous, I wonder what the options are now? I can only see the using Thomond if its given to them as a favour.

dreamers75 · 17-02-2015 7:24pm

Could forfeit home advantage, shockingly its been done before in the league.

Surely they'd have to do that for the full season then, even if markets field were completed mid season. Otherwise it gives unfair advantage to teams playing an extra home game.

Surely the next away games would be switched back to Limerick?

Some lark going on with Bray not having a licence yet. Apparently it's only something that needs clearing up though so hopefully it'll be alright.

From open play? He offers goals. Lots of them.

We've had strikers that worked hard but couldn't score in recent years too. I'd take Elding over Blinkhorn..

AllGunsBlazing · 17-02-2015 9:00pm

Wee bit harsh on Blinkhorn there tbh. His link up play was absolutely immaculate. Elding is definitely a gamble, but has the ability to destroy opposition teams at this level. Keeping some discipline on him will be a job in itself.

They could play as the designated home team at the actual home of whoever they're facing I suppose.

irish_goat · 17-02-2015 9:29pm

Elding has scored in tonight's friendly versus Institute anyway.

Oat23 · 17-02-2015 9:49pm

We are 5-1 up away to Castlebar tonight after knocking in 12 on Sunday. Corcoran and Nielsen have scored again. Future POTY Sander Puri has a goal and assist so far.

I know we've only played 1st Div and non league teams but I haven't been this excited about Rovers in a while. The 7th can't come quick enough.

Edit: 6-1. Puri assist for Dinny's second hattrick in the space of 3 days.

Vision of Disorder · 17-02-2015 10:12pm

Limerick don't plan on ceding home advantage according to our statement. It's a bit of a shambles, the dogs in the street have known it wouldn't be ready in time, there's been photos doing the rounds showing paperwork from January saying there was 18 weeks of work ahead.

LoonyLovegood · 17-02-2015 10:18pm

It's a bit crazy though...have to admit, I was looking forward to going to the Bohs match there, purely to get a life home off my Da rather than getting the train back to Dublin.

GLaDOS · 17-02-2015 10:26pm

Yeah intended on going up for the game, can see it being played in Dalymount now.

Was going to say that no one should be surprised by this news. The photos released a few weeks ago showed that little to no work had been done on the ground.

CrowdedHouse · 17-02-2015 10:54pm

Why can't they just go back to the egg ball ground?

overshoot · 17-02-2015 11:01pm

i wonder what Bray, Cobh and Athlone have done or not done to not get a licence when Limerick can get one without having a ground!

The_Kew_Tour · 17-02-2015 11:49pm

Never has a club talked so much but delivered so little as Limerick.

For years I have heard so much hope about the club but it always same. Such a pity.

This is what I would have said. If it is only "short term" then they'll just apply to switch the home/away fixtures in the affected games.

I'm sure that has been done even in other leagues, albeit probably not for the same reason as Limerick's.

I imagine Limerick would have to concede home advantage rather than a switch.

Think Munster have a few games there during that period & also cost i'd imagine.Didn't O'Sullavin(the CEO) say he wasn't bankrolling the club anymore?

They have to forfeit home advantage, its tough but not the other teams problem.

We one of the teams affected so im sure we will help Limerick out and reverse the fixture.

Cabinteey FC V Wexford Youths is predicted to be a sell out. Youths fans have been advised to get tickets in advance

Omackeral · 19-02-2015 7:44pm

Public Order Unit on standby. The Landsdowne Riot of 95 will pale in comparison.

AgileMyth · 19-02-2015 8:03pm

Just hold the away fan back for 10 minutes so he can't fight the home fan afterwards. Situation averted.

AgileMyth · 19-02-2015 8:05pm

Donelan and Keating gone to Harps on loan. Good for them to get regular football but leaves us a little short up front and at left back.

Keating will do damage at that level. Did well for them last season and didn't look out of place for us in the premier.

monkey9 · 19-02-2015 9:11pm

What's the best way to get out to Cabinteely's ground via public transport?

yep delighted to get Keating back, needed the firepower. still has a bit of work to do on his finishing but attitude, workrate and general play were all excellent. In saying that he still finished as our top scorer

Only seen 1 sub appearance by Donelan, whats he like? also any Derry lads care to comment on Nathan Boyle?
Tagbo also set to sign up front but problems with international clearance. Happy with our squad though, strengthened well in the positions we struggled last year

AgileMyth · 19-02-2015 9:26pm

Haven't seen much of donelan. What I have has been good.

Real good group of young lads we have at the moment. Boylan and Armstrong look to be great prospects too.

Smartarse,

We're both making the trip to Cabinteely

Darkglasses · 19-02-2015 10:35pm

I find it hard to imagine the match will actually sell out, I presume their capacity is 500 or 600 roughly? Youths will presumably bring about 50, not sure where the other 550 South Dublin LOI fans will come from, presumably they would all already be supporting a club.

I'll reserve my ticket with the club all the same

To Elland Back · 19-02-2015 10:40pm

Novelty factor Darkglasses. Remember we had over 2,000 at our 1st home game. Cabinteely think a lot of their schoolboy players with parents will turn up

They may well do. They've got something like 60 teams and almost 1,000 members in total. If they can encourage everyone at the club to get behind the new senior team, they might get some decent crowds. Two or three people associated with each team, plus friends and family members, could add up very quickly.

They dont need the money from gates so could realistically offer free in but the FAI dont allow that.

If all Junior clubs followed suit and created a 4 or 5 tier pyramid it would be great for LOI, but it wont happen.

No.4 leaves you about 100 yards from the ground

AllGunsBlazing · 20-02-2015 7:19pm

I'm not too happy that Keating has been sent back to Harps. I think he's past the point of First Division football being of any help to his development.
