Ah the pre-season friendly thread. Always a nice reminder that the start of the new season approaches.

It is a little early though, no? Can't see anything being announced until January.

Bonnie don't pay too much attention to bluepowers your better off. He seems to forget when making his stupid comments that we have been in the graveyard longer then anyone 17 years now i think it is with out being promoted.(Before someone says it i mean any Limerick club dont want the whole ye were only formed this time thhing)

Some very good signings by Shels with more to come i hear.

I actually didnt see his comment til now. Thing is I just didnt think he got the 'joke' I made. As unfunny as it was.
Very happy with the signings so far. Casso was leaving as far as I heard. His bro works in my place. Glad he's not. Roll on 2011.

Was impressed with Mulhall signing thought he was very good when UCD went up. Mulvuenna impressed me the few times i seen him too.

Hiberation - now there's an idea

In my next life I want to be re-incarnated as a bear, who is allowed into LOI games during the season and once the Cup Final is over, finds a nice cave and hibernates til March. I think I'm half way there - many a morning after a match I wake up like a bear with a sore head

Should they bring the cup Longfordian. A lot of Longford fans supporting us on the day of the Cup Final. As did we when ye last won it.

Our old friend the FAI Cup! There's always been a very good relationship between the two clubs and between their supporters alright so all trophies and fans will be more than welcome on the day/night whatever it is.

in the longford leader today it said that the sligo and pats home games will be three weeks apart..

22/12/2010, 11:34 PM

I see, I had only heard the date for the Sligo game myself anyway. Somebody else had said Pats on the 12th but they probably have a Setanta Cup game around then anyway.

I was on the cup final train that day, we stopped in Longford for a few seconds and some guy in Town gear was on the platform holding up a sign saying "Good Luck Sligo Rovers from Longford Town FC" Everyone on the train went bananas cheering for him. A really nice gesture. I'll always look out for Longford after that.

that was our PRO in the longford town supporters club that did that! when I was being picked up by the sligo rovers supporters bus on the bypass I met up with him afterwards
and brought the sign to the cup final with me! I made an appearance at the start of the match in the sligo vocal end with it! I lost the sign in the end goodness knows where it is now!
