Trials match held out in Wesley College at the time. I think the Estonia away fans game was the peak.

First goal that day was absolutley key key. A massive moment for Irish football

I've little to no recollection of what happened on the pitch that day. Just great fun on the sidelines. Graveyard behind one of the goals and the place been compared to the mecca of the Hyde in international circles.

No fault of ybig but I see there's a lack of names for the France fans game. Years ago there were people on a stand by list. Are the younger people not getting involved as much? 
Last time I can think of there was an away day meet up was in Warsaw in 2015. But I'm sure it's a pain to organise that keeps everybody happy.
The forum is a dying medium, unfortunately. Wiped out by twitter/instagram/reddit. I'm 26 and I think there'd be a lot of people around my age, maybe a tad younger tbf, who wouldn't even know what a forum is.

There was a fella a few years back who killed this forum. I can't remember who it was but after every single post he kept bringing up 'the far right'. At one stage Eire 32 said he sleeps on the right side of his bed and got accused of being the Irish Freedom Party leader.

That then led to the blind date thread!
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

The mid weeks games are a ball ache. Im living locally in Dublin but it’s hard to justify a half day/ day off work to play.

We had to recruit via twitter and Instagram as we weren't getting numbers compared to years ago

I would agree with this, I am involved with other sports which have had their online content wiped out by social media platforms over the last 5-10 years.
The advertising companies could not be happier about this.
