Pre Season 2011

[Magicme]

No 7 who moved to Canada at end of season.

[Sam_Heggy]

Is that an indoor facility?

No it's a full size grass pitch, newly re-laid last year and a fabulous surface.
Very good facility for Harps as it has 4 astro pitches, a full size grass pitch, indoor court, gym and meeting rooms plus a bar.

[Dillonman]

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.

So he didnt want to hold onto your top scorer in Philly HUghes then? Bit strange that one!

[Magicme]

Goal scoring ain't everything. Attitude counts for a lot.

[Dillonman]

Goal scoring ain't everything. Attitude counts for a lot.

Theres no need to tell us about his attitude, we had him at Oriel for two years and the second was a disaster!

[Magicme]

I gave him benefit of doubt last season but now am hearing stuff am glad he is gone. Mick prob did still want him and would love his goal scoring to be replicated but since a large amount of them were penos, and he didn't touch Berminghams record, we will live without him.

[Sam_Heggy]

29/01 - Harps v Sligo

[Dillonman]

Dundalk play local MDL side Muirhevnamor on Sunday 6th at Oriel Park. Was due to be played on their pitch but due to a massive demand for tickets it has had to be switched to Oriel. Its in conjunction with former Muirhevna player Mark Griffin been given a full time contract by us.

[PartySaint]

Not sure if you want to add it but Pats and playing kilnamanagh away on the 26th of Feb and I think Rovers are playing them the next day

[Enruoblehs]

Shels match with Leixlip United on Monday night is at the Leixlip Amenity Centre - not the Community Centre. Apologies.

[Magicme]

So ucd on the 2nd then. Whoop!

[Sean South]

Game is definitely in Finn Valley Centre on Sat at 2pm.

Where is that?

[Sam_Heggy]

Where is that?

About half a mile from Finn Park.
When coming from Sligo, go past the usual turn off for Finn Park and over the Bridge towards Lifford, at the petrol station take a right and it's a few hundred yards down that road on the right.

Waterford United 2-2 Waterford Oscar Traynor XI

We have Bohs at the RSC on 05/02.

[ltfc_2004]

is that Bohs v Longford game not the same night as the Ireland v Wales game ?

[Cuyahoga]

Shamrock Rovers to play a pre season friendly against Glasgow Celtic . Celtic's first team will play Rovers at Tallaght Stadium on Monday February the 7th .

Shamrock Rovers to play a pre season friendly against Glasgow Celtic . Celtic's first team will play Rovers at Tallaght Stadium on Monday February the 7th .

Not if the Scottish Cup game agiant Rangers they play the day before goes to a replay, they won't

[Cuyahoga]

Not if the Scottish Cup game agiant Rangers they play the day before goes to a replay, they won't Dont think you are right there ,its an international week that week so a replay couldnt be played that week.
Ireland are playing Wales on Tuesday the 8th.

[Dodge]

Fair enough, but doesn't that men its Celtic's first team without the internationals? (Which these days is probably most of them in fairness)

[Cuyahoga]

Yes it would, but they could still have a decent team, a large crowd attended the same fixture at the same time last year with not too many well known celtic players playing.

[superjohnny]

Fair enough, but doesn't that men its Celtic's first team without the internationals? (Which these days is probably most of them in fairness)

They will still get a sell out. good money spinner.

[Cuyahoga]

Sell out might be pushing it. But should be a big crowd though.

[gufc2000]

Galway Utd vs Monaghan
Sunday Feburary 20th
Gortakeegan

[BohsFans]

Sell out might be pushing it. But should be a big crowd though.

surprisingly celtic are not a big crowd drawer in Dublin, and haven't been for a long time. No sell out!

[stann]

We have Bohs at the RSC on 05/02.
...aaaaannnd now we haven't. Cancelled at Bohs request, we're off to Bandon that day instead.

Confirmed though:
Feb 19: Waterford United v Bray Wanderers (RSC)
Feb 26: Waterford United v Sporting Fingal (RSC)

[Dodge]

Shamrock Rovers to play a pre season friendly against Glasgow Celtic . Celtic's first team will play Rovers at Tallaght Stadium on Monday February the 7th .

I see Rovers have now downgraded this to Celtic XI and removed talk of Celtic's first team

[holidaysong]

Sunday 6 February – Muirhevnamor v Dundalk – Oriel Park, 2pm
Sunday 20 February – Rock Celtic v Dundalk – Rock Celtic Grounds, 2pm

[sligoman]

Harps 1-1 Rovers. Alan Keane with Rovers goal, we put out a seperate 11 2nd half.

[Dillonman]

Dundalk beat a FAI/FAS team 2-1 yday, Jason Byrne and Daniel Kearns with the goals.

[citybone]

Cork City Football Club 3-0 Cobh Ramblers
Vinny Sollivan
Davin O'Neill
? Wolfe

[Sam_Heggy]

Harps 1-1 Rovers. Alan Keane with Rovers goal, we put out a seperate 11 2nd half.

Tommy Bonner got Harps goal, almost seperate 11 in either Half frm Harps too with only 3 keeping their place.
Good run ot for both sides dust off the cob-webs.

I almost forgot how big McGuiness is and that German keeper is a bloody big lad too. Kirby's pass to the left mid in the lead up to Keane's goal was sublime, oozed quality.
Was that lad playing right mid for ye in the first half Gilmore from Salthill? Number 5 I think?

[robertob]

30/01 - UCD v Longford


Where will be the game? UCD Bowl, Belfield Park...?

[Darkglasses]

Cork City Football Club 3-0 Cobh Ramblers
Vinny Sollivan
Davin O'Neill
? Wolfe

That was surely Anthony Wolfe, played for us last season...We'll be sorry if he goes permanently, he was quality!

[sligoman]

Was that lad playing right mid for ye in the first half Gilmore from Salthill? Number 5 I think?Daryl Horgan from Salthill Devon. Irish u-19, looks a great player.

[Sam_Heggy]

Daryl Horgan from Salthill Devon. Irish u-19, looks a great player.

Aye, I was thinking it was one of Salthills wingers from last season alright. Cracking player, good turn of pace too.

[sheao]

Looked pretty impressive at the back today. Could do a decent job at the back for us .
Took his headed goal very well .

[Schumi]

Where will be the game? UCD Bowl, Belfield Park...?

On the Foster's Avenue pitch as far as I know.

A gentleman aswell, I remember him playing with Limerick.

Good versatile defender, type we could have done with IMO. :ball:

[Lim till i die]

Limerick are playing Limerick "A" on Saturday if that counts :p

This apparently finished Limerick 13(THIRTEEN) Limerick "A" 0. :eek:

So either our senior team are AMAZING or we could have some issues around squad depth! :)

If that was the score you'd think Scully would of told his first team to ease off around 6 or 7 nil......especially when its your own second string your playing! Talk about giving your youngsters a bit of confidence and giving them a walloping instead!

[Schumi]

UCD 2-0 Longford. Darren Meenan and Graham Rusk scored.

I don't know if Meenan's signed or just on trial.

[Ash]

Did Robbie Benson, Tom O'Halloran or Dean Marshall get a run out?
