[MeathDrog]

Cool. I'll have to get tickets to that, somehow...

[thischarmingman]

A 'big' club with delusions of grandeur despite the many years since it's last success, versus....oh, hang on a minute...

:p

[KUFCMan]

When are Leeds playing Shels.Is it Tuesday 14th of july or Wednesday 15th of July?

[DRDoc]

Hamilton and St Johnstone to play Drogheda and UCD last week in July, dates not fully confirmed as yet

[Dalymountrower]

Bohs and Dundalk apparently to play games against Barcelona Reserves at the end of July. Should be enough Catalan/non -Castillian students around to fill both grounds.

[Black and White]

Yeah it seems to be some truth in the story! Word was a few weeks ago that Barca where comign to oriel but its the B team so app!

http://www.extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/2015/

Also strong word round Oriel that linfield are comign to play us in July sometime. If true, there will have to be a big security presence!

[L.T.F.C.]

[Schumi]

Hamilton and St Johnstone to play Drogheda and UCD last week in July, dates not fully confirmed as yet

Is that Hamilton v Drogheda and St Johnstone v UCD or are both Scottish teams playing both Irish teams?

[DRDoc]

Both teams playing both irish teams apparently - according to one of the scottish dailys

[pineapple stu]

Nothing confirmed on the St Johnstone website (http://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/newsitemsdetail.php?param=410) as yet, although they are visiting the north.

We're plaing Hamilton on Tue 28th July (http://www.acciesfc.co.uk/) apparently.

[SunderlandBohs]

Cool. I'll have to get tickets to that, somehow...

I wouldn't worry to much MeathDrog about tickets selling out for that one. Somehow I can't see the neutrals rushing out snap up tickets to see a Mickey Mouse Championship club play.:p

[Martinho II]

fixed that for ya!


oh you will ! are you that loved one!:p

[dfclilywhite]

Confirmed on our website that we'll be playing a Barcelona XI sometime in August.

The Barcelona side will be managed by former Barcelona and Real Madrid legend (and winner of 62 International caps) Luis Enrique. As of yet, the exact date of the match has not been 100% confirmed.

[exiled_gufc_fan]

Shamrock Rovers have just been featured on Breakfast News on BBC One tv re the friendly with Real Madrid. Various personnel interviewed and shots of the players training at ground in Tallaght. :ball:

I may have missed the date ...

[Enruoblehs]

When are Leeds playing Shels.Is it Tuesday 14th of july or Wednesday 15th of July?

The date cannot be confirmed until the draw for the European qualifiers is made on June 23-ish.

No friendly can clash with one of these games.

[Red&White Rover]

Seanie Connor told me he used to work there. Him and Enrique are great friends too.

[pineapple stu]

Is it a Barca XI or is it Barca Atletic? Cos Barca Atletic are rubbish.

Its their reserve team, Barca Atletic

Merged into the rest of the friendlies thread

[Ash]

Maybe Sean will just have a good luck letter from Luis Enrique

[DRDoc]

UCD website had details of a friendly against a scottish team but it has now been taken down

Some eager excited student must have put it up without permission

Just a little tip btw, if you want to make him fell welcome, don't call him a real madrid legend...

Basically!

Although they're up on Dundee United and Hamilton's websites, the games aren't confirmed yet due to the FAI not allowing clubs play friendlies on Champions' League nights. :rolleyes:

Games should still go ahead, but dates still to be arranged.

[SunderlandBohs]

Roy Keane is to save Cork City when take Roy Keane's Ispwich (formally known as Ispwich Town F.C) in a friendly. According to the back of the Dailly Star.

It's the same thing he did to save Cobh last year when Roy Keane's Sunderland (now known as Sunderland A.F.C again) took on Ramblers. And look how well that turned out for Cobh!!

Thats a european wide thing...

Stop that Dodge. Thanks.

Spoken like a barstooler!

[pineapple stu]

Spoken like someone who was at one of their games in January. ;)

Decent First Division standard; no more.

[holidaysong]

What tier do they play at in Spain?

[Schumi]

Thats a european wide thing...

Is this just restricted to friendlies? We had a League Cup game clash with a Champions' League semi this year and I'm pretty sure midweek league fixtures have been on Champions' League nights as well.

[Dodge]

I think its just friendlies. Not 100% mind

Barca's reserve team play in the Spanish third tier. They've obviously a great tradition of producing players though.

We started our 2001/02 season on the same day as Shels v Brondby.

Similar standard to UCD, Monaghan and Mervue?

Albert Luque
Albert Ferrer
Bojan Krkic

Ivan de la Pena
Javi Moreno

Josep Guardiola
Luis Garcia
]Mikel Arteta
Nayim
Sergio Garcia
Thomas Christiansen
Victor Valdes

When I was watching them, the first thing that I thought was that we wouldn't be out of place on the same pitch. At all. The second thing was that there was no-one within a mile of making the step up to the first team. There were about 400 at the game, so the city didn't particularly care either (although that's par for the course with B teams really).

[Longfordian]

That is an impressive list but to be fair we had a guy with us who was playing Third Division football in Spain last season and he was absolute dog doo. It is basically not much more than an amateur league.
