Well there are over 30 Harps fans making the trip so you would suspect they are hoping for a win. Otherwise they're all stark raving mad.
On second thoughts........... we are righteous zealous fanatics who support our team even though there are better teams in better leagues in the world. Crazy stuff.
Looking forward to the start of the season, despite the team I supported not being there. Still hope to catch a game most weeks, starting with Mervue v Longford tonight. might try and visit as many clubs as possible of the 20 this year as a sort of challange.
Never thought I'd be glad to play UCD away, until I went to college here!
Finn Harps supporters welcome to stop there for a break
Can't imagine what the Galway Utd fans are going through today. Feel sorry for them, must be an awful feeling.
On our game, looking at the starting 11 tonight we are strong enough to beat Shels. But the bench is a sign of how small our squad is when we have one or two injuries, which could ultimately cost us over the season.

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Well finally it's upon us. Finally I get to watch MY team without having to resort to surrogacy with a team in England as it has been since the end of the last season.
Even seeing Dalyer there whilst I was collecting post gave me a fuzzy feeling (though that could be fumes).
Can't wait for the walk up Drumcondra tonight and then the obligatory trip to McGowans later. NYIAOW!
Best of luck to everyone. But more luck to Shels tonight!
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
Back in the big time!

It's really good to see publicity for the league like this
Bricking it about the Dundalk game, we need a good start to keep the interest up from the casual fans, and 3 points against a likely relegation rival. IRWT.
I can't wait for tonight. Monaghan away often ends in heartache for any Dundalk fan, but hopefully we get all three points tonight. S'up de town
Going to watch some of the Drogheda - Shamrock Rovers match (before, I must admit I will switch over to Blackpool - Hull)...don't watch much LoI simply because I don't have a club to support (in any domestic football league in the world) so I usually only watch for teams to support the Irish and Caribbean players...obviously when the majority of players are Irish it doesn't work.
Is that you Jimmy?

Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
Where in Ireland were "your people" from worm? Could help you develop an allegiance.
Anyone seen that chart about which English PL club someone should support based on a series of Yes / No questions? We should put one together for the LOI maybe . . . for the laugh if nothing else.
Thats the problem, my people did not come from Ireland...I have but one great-great grandmother from the island and she was from Belfast (not too big a fan of Catholics from what I hear either ). A few years back for awhile I sort of had an affinity for Galway United as they a few Caribbean players in Alvin Rouse, Regi Nooitmeer, and Wes Charles, plus they are a sister city of Chicago...but when the Caribbean players left as did my interest (as does happen with clubs in England when their Irish and Caribbean players leave).

That's a tough one then!
Good start to the game, ball being kept on the floor by both teams.
Longford Town team vs Mervue United
Hyland, James, Crawley, Deans, Haverty, Duffy, Kirby, Salmon, Gillespie, A. Skelly, Bermingham. Subs: Hunt, Dowling, O'Brien, Morley, S. Skelly, Purdy, Shaw.
Good luck to everyone for the season ahead, here's hoping it will be a good one. I hate the opening day of the season nowadays - should be at Station Road bemoaning our first conceded goal of the year about now...
1 nil drrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaweda
Getting that giddy feeling walking down.

What's with the kick-off time?
I thought the match was going to kick off at 7.45, then remembered that last season it was 7.35 for the telly games so accepted I might have missed the first ten minutes but I'm raging to find out that I've missed the first ****ing 35 minutes!
