Friday night

[peadar1987]

And no League of Ireland. This is weeeeeeird!

[BonnieShels]

You said it bro. I'm going into town now to have non-football related Friday pints with Canadians. That's weirder.

Bring back winter football.










I jest. Please don't bring back winter football.

Going on past experiences of drinking with Canadians,if your heading out now you should make it home for the start of The Late Late Show:giggle:

LOI withdrawl might lead to this:

ive taken up self-harm in an attempt to replicate the usual Friday feeling.



(PS - Canucks can drink! Alot better than the yanks anyway)

Season's not over for some..

[Mr A]

Season's not over for some..

And for others it never really started..

[Magicme]

I'm playing scrabble on facebook if anyone fancies a chance of whooping my butt.

[White Horse]

I may watch the DVD of Dundalk's 5-1 demolition of Shamrock Rovers.

Is it possible to wear out a DVD?

If you're in a hurry, we could skip the scrabble and go straight to the whooping. :D

Your wrist would get tired long before that.

[Dodge]

I've to spend it with my wife and kid

its disgusting

[dong]

This thread is fun though...
Jesus this is tough going.

[hedderman]

Bring back winter football :p

I always suffer League of Ireland withdrawal symptoms in the winter. Not the best time of year for it.

[Magicme]

I think its easier to deal with no football at this time of the year as after cup final I start preparing for Christmas and then there is New Years and then pre-season starts so its not quite as hard as if it was a whole summer of boredom.

[**FrOsTy**]

It's awful!! I was actaully delighted when I was asked to work tonight! Have to lower myself to watch EPL :( SHAME ON ME!!!

[SkStu]

ive taken up self-harm in an attempt to replicate the usual Friday feeling.

update:- the self-harm doesnt hurt as much as away league games in Tallaght and, surprisingly i suppose, games against Galway.

[Magicme]

[Sean South]

I'm buzzing and I'm not wired this time. Facking love it:cool:

[BonnieShels]

The fact that we are in such is state does it not say a load about us.
You're right it doesn't. Hurry up March.

[PartySaint]

I have replaced going to matches on Friday with hardcore drinking sessions...... I do not recommend it:(

[White Horse]

I have replaced going to matches on Friday with hardcore drinking sessions.(

They are not mutually exclusive ;)

[PartySaint]

They are not mutually exclusive ;)

That is true but I usually have a 2 hour gap during drinks while watching the match

[BonnieShels]

Have absolutely no recollection of posting here last night. Canadians can drink. Though I knew this.

Hurry up tomorrow.

My coussys must just be a strange crowd so,i took 12 cans to a BBQ in Missisauga once and left with 8 cans two hours later when i was "informed" it was over @ 10pm..............or maybe its me??? Never thought of that one!! !

[SkStu]

4 cans in two hours? Lightweight. ;)

[historynut]

OK - ROLL REVERSAL.
well documented on how and means of converting UK followers to LOI, but how many LOI fans turn their attention to loclal Intermediate/Junior soccer during the close season, if so who's your team?

Never drank with Mississauguans. Ottawans are big for the sauce as I found out to my detriment over last new years. Was out with a Nova Scotian, a Vancouverian and an Irish Edmontonian. Freaks of nature for the booze.

[Magicme]

I don't rem that bonnie.....oh maybe there are other Irish Edmontononians! :-)

[BonnieShels]

There sure are. Unless, I was unaware of my friends obsession with Mons and dislike of walls in Bray. Never mentioned it to me before.:)

what will you do if bohs tits up?

yeah friday nites are crap without footie, its only been two weeks, im cracking up already

[BonnieShels]

Today helped but god knows what will happen between Wednesday night and February when the intercounty season and LOI preseason starts.

[PartySaint]

I was talking to a few of my LOI supporting mates last night and we have decided to head up to a few IL games during the off-season, hope its as fun as the last IL game i went to, Crussaders V Cliftonville last St Stephens Day

They most certainly don't play on St Stephen's Day. I tend to go deaf when I hear the B-word. My LOI buddy is in London so I guess I'm soccerless til I go to the Bigger Smoke and watch Brentford or Orient.

[SkStu]

what will you do if bohs tits up?

i dont think we will but ill be relieved if we are demoted or can maintain our premiership status while going fully part-time. Im just looking forward to a fresh start whatever that might look like and just hope we can get the right people in at the club and turn it round.

But seriously, if Bohs went tits-up that would be it for me. I might make a Sheridan-like appearance here every now and again though just to have a cheap dig at Rovers... ;)

+1. Would retain an interest in LOI should Bohs no longer be around (which I dont expect to happen but.....) but could not see myself "supporting" any other LOI team on any sort of regular basis.

I wonder how many LOI fans were lost to the game, maybe permanently, due to difficulties at (deep breath) Shams, Cork, Derry, Shels etc etc etc. It would be my own experience that fans that "lapsed" rarely come back.

[Magicme]

Another Friday is on its way...what's everyone's distraction this time? Myself and 3 mates el be taking part in the all Ireland fins of the rehab quiz in athlone. Anyone else going to be there?

[peadar1987]

People keep asking me if I can head out on Friday nights, and I keep saying no, because I've got the vague feeling there's something else I have to do!

[bluemovie]

Was out with a Nova Scotian, a Vancouverian and an Irish Edmontonian.

I think I've heard that joke before. Is the punchline something to do with Mounties?

I'm so bored with the close season already that I've decided to grow my hair!

I think the other half is making me go to Killarney.

Peadar that cracked me up.

Bluemovie ditto.

[thischarmingman]

Going to Orient-Bournemouth on Saturday.

Hey now, I had a choice between West Ham and Leyton Orient as my newly adopted local team, and I went for the team who have "FA Semi finalists 1977-78" as their major honour.

failure hunter adulterer :cool:

[thischarmingman]

I just don't think I could deal with following a team with big crowds and massive TV exposure- it wouldn't feel right!

Now, I wonder if I can find a club around here with a greyhound track?

I'd have thought you'd have gone with the club with most league cups? ;)

[thischarmingman]

Who'd want the heartache of supporting a team who can score three times in a cup final and still lose?

People who can't be arsed going to Leyton orient :)

[Lim till i die]

I'm going to stand on a grassy hill in the pi$$ing rain feeling disappointed, I'm HARDCORE.




On Leyton Orient, I remember a group of about twenty of them who were on a stag in Cork (wtf btw?!) travelling to Cobh on the Saturday to follow Limerick.

We Lost. :D
