We're playing Cork's FORAS team on Feb 18th in Musgrave Park, Cork.

We're playing under the name Cork City Football Club once again now .

[bullit]

As part of the deal that brought local player Mark Griffin to DundalkFC, a friendly has been arranged between his former club,local side Muirhevna Mor FC and DundalkFC.
The match,which takes place on Sunday the 6th Feb was originally to be played at Muirhevna Mor's pitch has been switched to Oriel Park due to the phenomenal local interest in the fixture(over 1,000 tickets sold to date) All money from the match will go to Muirhevna Mor FC.
DundalkFC have also paid Muirhevna Mor FC a development fee for Griffin.(and also to another local side, Rock Celtic for the signing of Johnny Breen and a friendly to be played with then to as part of the deal)

Now, now, let's be fair. It was Steve Clarke who was on the course with Humpty. Steve Clarke knew Jose, therefore, Jose is a friend of Humpty's. Simple as.

What about our glamour friendly in Flancare?

[Longfordian]

Not sure what's happened there, it mightn't have a date fixed for it yet. It could get slotted in after the Pats game maybe.

[Terry]

GUFC manager Sean Connor announced this morning on local radio Friendlies against Donegal Celtic, Monaghan United, Dungannnon Swifts, Glenavon, Sligo Rovers. Dates and venues yet to be confirmed.

[Newry Lifer]

Newry City F.C. have agreed to play a friendly with Dundalk F.C. at Oriel Park, Dundalk on Thursday 10th Feb.11 (Kick Off 7.45pm)
This game will be Dundalk's final friendly before they take on Linfield in the Setanta Cup the following week.

[Longfordian]

What about our glamour friendly in Flancare?

I'm told this game definitely isn't happening now. The costs would have been much too high for our liking, put it that way!

[Enruoblehs]

Athlone Town can't be that expensive - can they?

[Longfordian]

Sligo. They wanted 900 quid off us to play, presumably to cover their bus or whatever, so we called it off. If you added that onto the cost of the match officials it'd cost us a pile of money and we'd probably only get a couple of hundred out.

[poster]

Ragin', was looking forward to FP again. Oh well, big club and that. :P

[Longfordian]

If ye can guarantee five hundred supporters down we might reconsider!

Will 50 do? About 4 of which give about the same price of 4 or 5 home Town games a year.

[pineapple stu]

E900 to play a friendly?! That's a disgrace.

[poster]

Just disgusting Stu. Disgusting.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Sligo. They wanted 900 quid off us to play, presumably to cover their bus or whatever, so we called it off. If you added that onto the cost of the match officials it'd cost us a pile of money and we'd probably only get a couple of hundred out.

Could ye not just pay us under the table? We'd bring the table

Just to clarify, that's an English Premier League club.

[Newry Lifer]

Is that an indoor facility?

Leixlip United v Shelbourne
Leixlip Community Centre
Monday, January 31st
Kick-Off 7.30pm

[Town Legend]

Newbridge Town 1-0 Longford Town

A few names on the Longford team who I've never heard of, P Szcerbowski, Barry Skeete, Jack Morley, Graham Dowling, Yousuff Belhout and Anthony Costigan made appearances down in Newbridge. Longford used all 21 players in the squad. Good run out for them even if the result went against them.

[Magicme]

Costigan was with us last year and would be a great signing for you, loathe to see him go.

[Buile Shuibhne]

Have Mons retained any of last year's squad or indeed signed any others?

[Magicme]

Yes. Apart from Gartland and o'Connor Mick has held onto everyone he wanted from what I'm hearing. We have also made some, in my opinion, good replacement signings but nothing is announced until registrations go through.

[Lim till i die]

Which one was O'Connor again?
