Taught the old lad was right about saying how people were conned into going to the match in hope of the full liverpool team and how it is the typical irish attitude to turn up and pay big money to see a u18/reserve liverpool squad however he didnt help himself by calling them morons. I think sadlier just likes the controversy and was overly critical of the loi

Rubbish, people were not conned.  Anyone who knows anything about football knew it'd be a reserve side. 

Keely is among the all too many football fans in this country who think it's against the law to support a team outside this island.  Sadlier in my opinion made far more measured and well thought out points than Keely's ranting and Stewie Byrne bringing in the egg-chasing was nonsensical.

L of I fans need to cop on and stop blaming non-L of I fans for the League's ills and many LOI fans remind me of many Gaeilgeoirs who somehow consider you less Irish if you're not fluent in Gaeilge.  

What a great nation we really are.

someone said on here a few weeks back that if you are to try convince people go to loi games the best thing is to leave liverpool/united whoever they support completely out of the conversation. for me that was spot on, i started going to limerick games last year simply for something to do and quickly realised the standard of football isnt too bad, the love of the club quickly follows the habit of going to games.

fwiw i'm one of these liverpool fans who was conned into buying a ticket for a friendly, by the club telling us anyone going to the world cup wouldnt feature and anyone carrying injuries wouldnt either, that kind of 'conned'

They really should have got somebody on who can articulate his opinions better than Dermot Keely. Calling people morons is not going to encourage anybody to go to games.

Anyone think that sadlier reduced football support down to basic consumerism. I.e. product at home bad product abroad good therefore the consumer chooses the better product.

That is all fine and well until Irish consumers of English teams start talking about history and the special bond with Ireland and the sense of place etc. Should that contradiction not be pointed out.

In addition if you use that logic why do all the people in Ireland not shout for England as they are better than Ireland, we know their players and shout for them most weeks in some for another. Its clear the product trap produced was not goood. Yet many shouting on Stevie g will also be laughing if he slips in Brazil like he did against Chelsea. Oh yeah sorry he is not English he is scouse.

I agree that bringing Leinster rugby into the equation was a bit silly. I totally agree with his call to change the season back to a proper football season instead of summer football. Also, games should kick off at 3pm on a Saturday. The move to summer football was a trial to bring in more punters, from what I have been told, and it has failed. All those Liverpool fans who were in the Aviva last week, will be following Dublin or whoever in the GAA games during the summer. Football will be at the very back of their minds. 

I am a "floating voter" when it comes to the LoI. I go to whatever games catches my eye in or around Dublin. I go fairly often but I find going to games on a bright summer's evening a bit weird. I would go to more games if they kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday and the league schedule reverted back to its traditional format.

Saturday afternoon is a no no - too many lads play junior ball on saturday afternoon or do the Jeff Stelling/Paddy Power thing on a saturday afternoon. Look at the IL attendances for Saturday afternoon football.

Never understood the desire to go back to a winter season. Our weather and facilities just aren't made for it.
 
There's little better than getting out of work on a sunny friday afternoon and heading around the country with your mates to watch football.
