Airtricity League

Pre-Season Friendly

UCD v Athlone Town, Belfield, 8.15pm

Any idea on how strong the team lineups will be for this?

Current best odds
UCD 4/7 Draw 11/4 Athlone 4/1

[Longfordian]

Betting on a LOI pre season game, both teams' first one at that, you're a brave man. UCD will probably take it though, Athlone will have lots of new players to bed in.

[eL Bettor]

I'm not necessarily betting but friendlies are as much a betting proposition as anything if there is some info to go on. Will probably leave this one alone!

[Trainee]

Any idea on how strong the team lineups will be for this?

Current best odds
UCD 4/7 Draw 11/4 Athlone 4/1

UCD 2 nil up - Robbie Creevy got the first after 7 mins, they scored a pen to make it 2-0

[ATFC-1887]

Athlone brought it back to 2-2 Jonathan Kielty with both goals. Then former Athlone player tom o halloran scored for UCD to make it 3-2

[adamd164]

Starting to be announced...

Sat 9th Feb: Cork City vs Longford.
This is gone from Longford's website now and we have a game on the Thursday (7th) so I suspect it's not going ahead.

Glebe North 1-0 Shams R.

[Charlie Darwin]

Where's me umbrella?

[SkStu]

There's a direct bus to Glebe?

[Longfordian]

So, Athlone were the real winners.

I think LOI football is the real winner on occasions such as this.

Too much muck for the game to go ahead. And that was just in Shels' squad.

What did he do to get sent off in a friendly?

[sheao]

We have a game lined up against Cobh away on the 15th of Feb.

Also we might be playing Waterford in the RSC but this has yet to be confirmed.

[bullit]

What did he do to get sent off in a friendly?
Elbowed a Wex lad in the dial! Ref went over to Crolly and said he had to send him off.

Edit.Of course i wasnt at the game and didnt see what happened but i seen about 25 tweets that said as much.

I was at game and he did elbow a player in the face right in front of the ref and friendly or not had to go was totally unnecessary

Cork City v Longford is on this Saturday after all: http://www.corkcityfc.net/home/2013/02/04/match-v-longford-on-saturday/

For those who were worried!

[SkStu]

Bohs have played Rathcoole (6-0) and Tymon Celtic (7-1) preseason to date.

Both wins...

[placid casual]

so that means, in the pre-season league that Bohs are joint top with Sligo, and UCD are just behind them with pre-season europe in their sights.
Rovers are relegation fodder...

bring on the season.

Question for the Cork heads: any significance to Burns starting in goal tonight?

[brendy_éire]

typical game between Institute and Derry

Re-arranged (for the second time) and will now be for Wednesday 13th.

[adamd164]

Question for the Cork heads: any significance to Burns starting in goal tonight?
That was in the first half team only I think, different side second half with McNulty in goal.
