Surely we'll be too busy getting locked?!
If we were sober enough to play them we'd hammer them but us being sober in Longford is probably expecting too much really....:D

macy macy macy, if you cared you'd be sober...........
I was think some time on Saturday afternoon. Around 3 or 3.30 say. Hangovers gone from the night before. Lunch time drinks nicely settled.
Is the bar in Flancare going to be open for the new season. If it was we could go to the stadium before the match, play the game then head straight to the flancare bar til kickoff.
1 hour is hardly going to hurt our drinking time, besides we usually play better with hangovers:) (well some of us)

the bar isn't open yet, more the pity........

If the Longford lads are going to have a little bitch-fest, might I ask that they use their own forum?
The problem with playing a big tournament on the one day is the logistics - i.e. getting anywhere near 22 teams out on the one day. If we can get that organised, then I'm sure we can sort out the astro in UCD for a day and run a mini-World Cup thing.
I'd still prefer to play the weekend of a match though. One hour isn't going to eat much into drinking time, as SÓC says, plus playing the bit of ball gets everyone together and works up a thirst for the beer too!
Overnighters/Saturday games would suit this perfectly. I don't know do most fans come back straight after the match or on the next day? Even 6:00 on the Friday evening gives plenty of time for home fans to head out from work and both fans to get to the match afterwards though. Plus, each match would only be played once, not twice, so if there's problems with one day, the match can be switched to the other fixture.

Just a suggestion, I think it was fairly clear that a tournament suggestion was the preferred option the last time round, just after checking the fixtures for the league, the best upcoming weekend seems to be 1st / 2nd of May.
Cork are in Dublin that weekend, Limerick are in UCD on the friday night, why don't some of the UCD heads organise the pitches for the weekend (provisionally) ask for entrys, and see what happens, set a deadline of say 1st April for entries, see how many clubs express an interest. I reckon if you get eight of more clubs to enter it would be worth a shot.

Best post on this thread in a while. I think it all makes sense. Anybody else agree?

Seriously, I think it will be far too easy. I predict I'd get 15 goals and we'd win 23-2 (with them scoring their 2 when it's my turn in goal!).:)

if you play against section O i agree, but if the whole of flancare park comes together i feel things could be very different.......a truce could be wagered for the greater good, you heard it here first............

as a bewildered on looker max,
whats the beef between section o and the stand all about??
max power
12/03/2004, 9:42 AM
many things, the fact that they "sing" while we enjoy the football would be the main reason ...but also the fact that they can't afford a stand ticket makes them jealous too.........
but the war must end some time and to defeat cork would be a perfect way to start, the hand is extended by max and the truce has been offered......

Ok I'm going to take a Dr Phil attitude to this
Max and Section O guys I know you have conflicts with each other but I'd kindly you to sort it out amicably in your own forum
And I'll also take a Stone Cold Steve Austin approach
Y'all better quit your whinin' before I shove a boot up your ass!!!

Were all going a little off topic here, I was wondering if some of the UCD lads were prepared to take responsibility for organising a tournament, I would be prepared to give a hand in any preparations, Dublin City would be prepared to host the information on our site www.dublincityfc.com
that way we might even be able to come up with some sort of profile for the thing.
I'm sure the eircom League would be interested in this, and if UCD want to inquire about astro turf availablity and the rest for a Saturday morning / afternoon, and just pick a date, let the rest of us know when. and we can start to organise this.
Pick a date in the middle of may or something, gives everyone a chance to get together and plan something, which could be really big. I'm sure if all the supporters talk nicely to their respective clubs, they might even get a loan of a kit for the day, we could try and get some of the €7 eircom money, to pay for proper referees. Does anyone want to get involved. It could be deadly, even if we only got ten or twelve clubs involved we could make a mini world cup out of it.

We'll have to pick the day carefully though. It has to be a day when all the teams can be in Dublin. Longford, Derry and half the 1st division play on Saturdays so it could be a little awkward getting a day when the participating teams aren't playing.

if any club are unable to get a team, i will put one forward.......

I don't think we are going to get a date that suits everyone, check the list of teams that have said they are interested, if we can suit these teams, then the rest can worry about themselves.
Check the fixtures, and pick a date, realistically you have to remember that a lot of people don't go to that huge amount of Away games especially in the first division, although i don't want to exclude the ones that go religiously.
If UCD pick a date, its up to every other club to try and have a team, so if you give say 8 - 10 weeks notice that should be okay for everyone.

Thats fine, check the fixture list and pick a date that you can get the pitches, thats kinda important too.
Can we leave it with you to sort out.

1st of May was mentioned - that's possibly too early as many of the societies could still have pitches booked then.
We're home (to Bray) on the 4th of June - how's about Saturday the 5th?
Another alternative would be to organise groups of four teams, who meet up when they're all in the same area and play off, with winners going to a final group stage or something.

Definitely got good merit in that idea, although it makes the logistics much harder to work out. Also need three or four venues.
With UCD having access to pitches, (I'm sure they could be organised through the soccer club, to either get free or really cheap access), i think it is pretty much agreed that this is the best venue, why not run with that date, and invite entries. I would be interested in a couple of people meeting up to discuss options, maybe somenight in UCD, a couple of UCD heads, and one person from a few other clubs, to see if we can really get a tournament idea off the ground.
Would any other clubs outside of Dublin be interested in hosting a qualification group. let us know if you think you would be able to host something. we can study our options then.

:rolleyes: Do you know anything about it? It's actually from years ago, and is mainly in jest these days (it certainly is by section O anyway). Hear sod all from the stand regulars about it anyway...

Go on, tell us all how much you earn, what car you're getting, how you were chased out of the North, how many holidays you're going on etc. Someone who has to continually boast must have an extremely small dick.

5th June would rule out Town supporters - home to Waterford that day.

macy my advice to you is to grow up and stop whining.....yes i earn a good living, drive a nice car, and go on 3/4 hols a year and my penis size is ok i think ( i'm not in the habit of comparing it to other mens )
your right stand regulars don't talk about it, we go to see the game and support the club.....if i wanted to do karaoke i'd go the out back on a thursday night ( plug !!! )
once again, i like having a bit of fun on this board with other members who don't seem to have a problem and enjoy the banter...but your just so serious about everything, smile and have a bit of fun.......
