I see Gary Pigg scored 2 for the ports today and Stephen O Flynn got a couple for Institute (think it was them). Piggs first was a cracker...
Another article about Legia W.'s situation.
"Henning Berg promises to challenge UEFA's decision as Legia Warsaw boss fumes over Celtic's Champions League reinstatement"
Including a quote about The Champions
"SAY WHAT?
Legia Warsaw midfielder Ondrej Duda gave a scathing assessment of Celtic's performance after the first leg, he said: 'St Patrick's playerd a lot tougher against us than Celtic. They gave us a very tough game in Warsaw. (...)":D

So what do we reckon about 'pitchgate' at Dalyer? Over fussy ref or Bohs pulling a fast one to get a game where they were missing 5 first teamers called off? I'd be leaning towards the latter. Granted the penalty area wasn't great when we played there a few weeks back but they had 3 weeks without a match to fix that up. Some of the pictures doing the rounds show whole strips of the pitch loose, no excuse for that.
I doubt there is anything more too it than a shambles of a club that has always done everything they set their mind too, half arsed. And just happened to get pulled up over it this time.Quote:

That might be true if they weren't furious about it being called off (from the top down - I don't think it's for show)
Looked bad enough for it to be called off for me.
Think it was the right decision from the ref anyway. But maybe could have been checked that morning (as everyone was aware of the area around the penalty spot) and not so close to kick off
Not a chance bohs wanted the game off, they would still have to pay stewards and gardai I presume? Floodlights etc money they can't really afford to be throwing away
Refs etc all work full time. They go into grounds an hour before the game.Quote:

The fact it was two Dublin sides mean they probably din't think they'd have to do any pitch inspection at all

It would be gas if Celtic and Legia were drawn in the same group in the Europa League :)
Didn't take Ronny Deila to go from "Celtic are too good for CL qualifiers" to "Europa League is our level"
What's better than seeing the look of disappointment on the faces of Celtic supporters, after crashing out of the Champions League?
Seeing it twice.
Legia's banner last night... Probably get a smaller fine than Dundalk all the same!

Whatever you think of them - that's a proper protest banner!
brilliant banner. Love it
Falcao to united on a 12m loan deal. that is mental.

falcao, van persie and rooney. not too shabby.
Evans, Jones and some 14 year old down the other end tho.Quote:

I'm amazed United managed to complete all these signings with the tens of thousands of anti-Glazer protestors blocking access to Old Trafford to ensure the club's evil hierarchy didn't push them any further into debt.
What a great stat.
37 games between Kenny-managed teams and Fenlon-managed teams. And Fenlon has won.... how many would you say?
http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-30601562.html
Good stat that. I think we have a fear of Fenlon's teams due to the years of losing to them when Johnny was manager as there was definitely an inferiority complex there (also he generally had the best team in the league then). I don't think Liam will have any fear of Fenlon as he'll be confident that if we play well and the ref doesn't make a balls of it, we should come out on top.
Not really off topic but good to see Raheny using Richmond for the Women's Champions League game against Bristol
Thursday October 9th
At least someone gets to play Champions League football in Richmond this year
Good to hear peamount girls tried a couple of years ago to hire richer but Tallaght was cheaper.Quote:

I'm announcing this Raheny game tomorrow. Hoping with it being an Irish team playing an English team, the names won't be as hard to pronounce as the last game I did in Richmond that didn't involve Pat's.

Raheny 12/1 are Bristol that good.Might head down have a look.
Raheny keeper played super. That Bristol team is semi-pro. Fitness levels told in the last 20 minutes. Raheny just fell apart. 4-0 was harsh. A peno, and a counter in stoppage time sealed it for Bristol.
Was down in Richmond taking photos of the Raheny game, not a bad crowd either, about 1200. Raheny played well but Bristols fitness got them through. And i agree, 4-0 was harsh but best player was the Raheny keeper who made a couple world class saves.
http://amanwithhiscamera.com/2014/10...istol-academy/ for the photos
Watch it online very harsh Scoreline, great crowd at the game.
But its not real football :D
If any women were football fans, and thanfully they arent, and stopped cleaning the kitchen for a minute and saw this on here .... they would be pissed !!!Quote:

Away to Numancia this Sunday.

I am not an accountant Dodge. But I don't think the accounts are saying SRFC lost 400K.Quote:

SRFC Ltd. lost 265K in 2013.
To offset and most likely to ensure SRFC met FAI licensing for 2014 SRFC Members Co invested 374K in SRFC in 2013.
This meant SRFC had 100K to start with at the beginning of 2014.
By investing 374K in 2013 meant the SRFC Members co lost 174K in 2013 versus a surplus of 189K in 2012. Almost a 100% turnaround on the previous year.
SRFC Memebers Co cash balance was down 50% to 221K at the end of 2013 versus 396 at the start that had been accumulated over previous seasons.
Their expensive squad coupled with failure to get Europe this year, setting up of the B team, paying off Croly and his backroom staff and hiring Fenlon and his backroom staff is likely to have depleted this further again this year. If we don't win the cup this is likely to put them in a worse financial position in 2015, assuming they keep the B team and continue with the policy of the huge expensive squad.
If is likely that Mr. Roche and the other directors of SRFC members company would come under a lot of pressure if the member funds was to decrease by another 185K at the start of this season. I think I read SRFC Members Co gives you 1 share for each 3K you invest. The shares are worth €1. It seems a bit mad to spend €3000 on something that is worth €1 but there you go.
They are abridged accounts too so allowed not to go into detail.
Ours are far far worse.
