Mid-season friendlies 2013

[DeNiro]

Confirmed so far:

Cork - West Ham
Waterford - Man Utd Reserves
Shamrock Rovers - Aston Villa
Shamrock Rovers - Birmingham

[Longfordian]

Waterford are charging €30 for United Reserves. Fair play if they can get it I guess but value for money it most certainly is not.

Supposedly Alex Ferguson has given word that he'll be there. That'll bring out the crowds before the team does.

Confirmed so far:

Cork - West Ham


City are playing Burnley too on the 15th of July.

Cork-West Ham on 7/7?

That'd get them out all right but he's getting his hip done around then isn't he? Mightn't be fit for it.

Surely he can't move any less than Carrick does.

Not a friendley as such but Dundalk's FAI cup winning side of 2002 are playing a Celtic legends side on the 22nd June in OP.Prob get an attendance of 3000+ in for it.

A promised friendly v Everton that was to have taken place this year(Part of the deal re Ben McLaughlin) has been pushed back to early 2014 with the match now likely to take place during the EPL Winter break.

[Charlie Darwin]

Any idea what kind of side Everton would put out for that?

Also does anyone know how McLaughlin is getting on there? I never saw him play but he seems to be highly rated.

If it's anything like the team they sent to Sligo as part of the Coleman deal, there won't be a recognisable name in it except for Mclaughlin. Still, arses will come off bar stools.

Winter break?

[SwanVsDalton]

Not technically a friendly either, but Kevin Deery's testimonial is Derry City vs a Derry City All-Stars select (comprised of former teammates of Kevin's) on Saturday, June 22.

Players confirmed to play include James McClean, Danny Lafferty, Stephen McLaughlin, Eddie McCallion, Ciaran Martyn, Peter Hutton, Ken Oman, David McDaid and Stephen O'Flynn with more being confirmed each week via the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/events/498636240191173/?fref=ts).

[avvenalaf]

Forget about McClean (or McCourt). Clubs don't allow their players to play friendlies in the close season. Although, come to think of it, it is McClean, so.........

Heard news over the weekend that a Celtic XI are coming to Longford to play us later in the summer. believe it is a mixture of first teamers and reserve team players.. it will be the first time in 27 yrs that Celtic are coming back to Longford since Billy Bagsters days with us!

Not in our league but Liverpool playing Celtic in Lansdowne on August 10th. Will be announced today

[poster]

We're playing a Northern Ireland Regions Cup side tomorrow night in Sligo.

[El-Pietro]

City will be playing West Brom in August, Shane Longs first appearance at Turners Cross since signing for Reading in 2005.

[avvenalaf]

That's assuming Shane Long is still with WBA in August.

[Jofspring]

Rumours in todays local that we are playing Celtic in a friendly. Not too sure about this one crowd wise. Competing with the Liverpool vs Celtic match and Celtic play here so often also meaning its not a very unique fixture. What have the crowds been like at Celtic friendlies over the last number of years?

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

@sligorovers: Full time here at the Showgrounds. Goals from Danny North, Liam Martin and Ryan Connolly give the Bit o'Red a 3-1 win over the NI Regions.

[Longfordian]
