They are up

What an opener!!

Looking forward to a trip down to Wexford for their first match in the top flight against Longford.

Not a bad start for Longford although Cork away on a Monday for the second season in a row is hard to take. After a quick look we have Wexford Bray and Harps in the first couple of weeks. They are all games we should be getting 3 points from.

theres no source or link. I'll throw up a flip side and say yeah of course we planned it for the middle of the Euros, out country's first since 88 when the domestic league was on a break and all the attention of the country was on our exploits in Poland.

Of course there was no big conspiracy to fold the senior team, what there had been was numerous afforts, some of which I was inviolved in to try and raise funds for the remainder of the season, but ithat doesn't suit RTIDs current argument so lets not let that get in the way.

Anyhow, another thread dragged off topic, and I find myself involved. I duly slap myself on the wrist and take the opportunity to remind evryone else of the topic at hand.

Some nice first games and good luck to everyone.

the same FAI that the club had been in constant contact with very regulalry about the very issues? The same FAI whos' Honorrary Treausrer is part and parcel of the Mons even to this day? Is this the same club you refer to that just about everybody with even a passing interest in LOI knew were on the breadline ona numbe rof occasion in previous years and again that season?

So one or two people make a comment at that time that big bad Mons obviously timed it to surprise the FAI and you present it earlier as fact? Maybe im no pmthe one that needs to 'come on'.

Shamrockers never fail to amaze me.

Anyway, Derry visit a must this year

I must say Galway play in Derry on the 18th March , just thinking would it be worth spending Paddy's day up there ?
