The 2nd February game has apparently been replaced by a trip to Longford Town.

[brendy_éire]

Training week in Edinburgh Feb 16th - 21st

That's a bit random. O'Neill sort that one out?

[GreenStar]

That's a bit random. O'Neill sort that one out?

I'd imagine so yeah. Rumours that we will be playing Celtic and Arsenal reserves during the pre-season. Celtic possibly over two legs, home and away. Arsenal in Tallaght.

[Celdrog]

Confirmed we are playing a Celtic team next Wednesday. It's also confirmed it's a Celtic XI, so nobody is to get excited about seeing McGeady or O'Dea :D
or to complain afterwards:D

Yeah so its the usual Celtic under 20 side along with a handful of unknown reserves that play here every year!

Probably the same side Cliftonville beat 3-0. Pointless really, but may draw a slightly larger non-LoI crowd.

We played them this time last year near enough, only recognisable players where McGinn(I think he was playing) DOnati and a young striker Ben Hutchinson, rest where all reserves/youths!

hope you lash up the prices and ride the bar stooler celtic "fans"

[Celdrog]

hope you lash up the prices and ride the bar stooler celtic "fans"€15 in, €5 for kids.
A lot of the big St. Margaret's CSC (in Duleek) are also season ticket holders of the Drogs so not all of them are barstoolers.

All our other pre-season games are on the season ticket, so €15 for all games is quite reasonable.

[RoversHead]

I dont think Irish clubs should give Celtic the time of day ,the Celtic ix crap drives me mad but teams wearing poppies to support injured war criminals in Iraq and Afganistan should be boycotted.

[The Lilywhites]

Dundalk to play Bray on Feb 14th in Wayside's ground.

February 13th

[passinginterest]

Just seen that Shamrock Rovers are charging €10 in to their friendly with Shels next Friday. Seems rather steep to me.

money is money most clubs would give a sadams hussein 11 a game never mind celtic once it draws a decent crows clubs arent in a position to turn down revenue.

Why would you boycott a British Team that along with all other British Teams supports a charitable donation to an organisation that cares for injured veterans of its country`s armed forces?
I might have a problem with clowns in this country wearing a poppy( eg Gay Byrne) but why pick out Glasgow Celtic for particular treament on this ?

Athlone look to have a busy weekend ahead, the first one of February. Bohs away on Thursday, Sligo home on Saturday and Dundalk away on Sunday.

Yeah it's an outright insult for them to only send over 9 players and think they can win.

[GalwayRed]

Drogs 0-1 Shels. Mark Hughes got the goal. I presume we will be taking him on loan from bohs?

Ian Ryan palyed for ye too as well as alot of kids in the second half.

[CSFShels]

Yeah it was a bit bizarre in the 2nd half, really hope there won't be too many kids in the league, a nice blend would be better.

You at the game?I was! Bit strange to have both sets of fans in the away shed!

I might have a problem with clowns in this country wearing a poppy( eg Gay Byrne) but why pick out Glasgow Celtic for particular treament on this ?Ask that on a Celtic forum and I did say any club who supports war crime by the way.

I was indeed, but I was in the seated stand. My god is that a horrible ground.
