Is anyone up for the Celtic V Fulham game on July 16th?? Always a cracking session, and brilliant fun. Im on the phone at the mo, trying to get as many tickets as i can, but its constantly busy. Will keep trying. I know Kt is talking about cvoming down for it, anyone else??

Aye, I'm gatecrashing you'll all be glad to know! And I have a digi camera!

[Babysis]

No cameras KT, thats the only rule

[Green Tribe]

No cameras KT, thats the only rule

Ok, actually that's a good idea, I've suffered the consequences of cameras before..... have to go back to work..........bye!

[Babysis]

good news Kt, i have 6 tickets for the celtic game.

After agonising over it for the last few months, I've now officially decided that I don't like Celtic And I was in even in feckin' Seville.... So no Fulham friendly for me I'm afraid....

However, would be well-up for meeting everyone for beers and craic afterwards.

Am also planning on driving over to Wales for the Carmarthen v Longford UEFA Cup game if anyone fancies the road trip to see a proper Irisih team....?

I promise to avoid arranging any hot dates to clash with Oirish drinking sessions next time...

Plenty of room in the car for a Rossie Paul. Though if any of the girls are coming you might find yourself relegated to the boot..... Would be great to have a good turn-out from the London collective for our nearest EL match since Lille v Shels.

[paul_oshea]

in the second line of my statement i was refering to pat o!ill tell him he can go so!

... ah no boot is fine so long as you throw one of the girls in there with me

[Peadar]

You still wouldn't manage to pull!

Steve, what journey time are you talking?
The train takes about 3 hours from Paddington as far as I know.

[paul_oshea]

where is carmathe, it takes about 4 hours or so to get to wales from london.

Its Newtown AFC you want, not Carmarthen. The ground is not up to UEFA standards, so its been moved. Dont think there is too much in the difference.
