[Patrick Dunne]

According to the Tribune we hope to line up friendlies against local sides.

Would have been nice to see an English League side lined up and would be good to compare the Quaility :(

[gufct]

very hard to get english teams over in the middle of their season :eek:

[exiled_gufc_fan]

very hard to get english teams over in the middle of their season :eek:

Some chance if its a cup weekend and they have been knocked out though.

[eamo1]

that we are getting an english side over to open the new stand in the summer,is this true?
btw,just to go off topic for a minute,to promote nhl games here in washington they have guys walking around the downtown and Mall area on the morning and afternoon of a gameday with signs promoting the game that night.if i had time id walk around eyre square shop street area wearing a sign for awhile on a friday afternoon promoting our games,would it be feasible???.its just an idea.

[gufct]

anything is feasible Eamon when it comes to getting more bums on seats:)

[corbyeire]

sorry whats trolling?

[monzo]

I believe it means attempting to lure someone into responding to the remark, unsavourly (for want of a better word)

[GalwayFrancis]

it also means, for example, a supporter of another club coming on to the gufc forum and writing worthless comment.

[Paddyfield]

it also means, for example, a supporter of another club coming on to the gufc forum and writing worthless comment.

Indeed. GUFC fans would never go on to another forum...

[GalwayFrancis]

Indeed. GUFC fans would never go on to another forum...

and from someone standing in the background : "cough, cough...... Conor H...... " :D :D :D

[Conor H]

Don't do that anymore GF.

Don't shy away from expressing exactly what i think in a blunt manner either.;)

[monzo]

it also means, for example, a supporter of another club coming on to the gufc forum and writing worthless comment.

If that's a reference to my explanation, I must ask how can you deem it worthless when he was asking what it meant?

[Terry]

I believe he was referring to the limerick supporter

[Terry]

So is there anybody going down to the waterford match? thinking about driving down with the missus and staying overnight.

[Conor H]

Terry,
The game is now on in Tallow not the RSC.From talking to a Waterford fan he didn't really know how to get there!

Still up fpr going though!

[Terry]

Hi All,

Where is Tallow ? As the post above suggests it's just on the Cork/Waterford border and 50 miles from Waterford City back through Dungarvan,Cappoquin and Lismore ( 5miles ). I am the secretary of the local soccer club Brideview Utd where the match is to take place. Tallow is a small village (1000-1500 people) and we are a junior club in the West Waterford East Cork League. Through local fundraising and lotto grants we have been able to develop our grounds over the last 10 years to incorporate two full sized playing pitches,changing facilities,all-weather pitch,large car-park and recently we have floodlit our pitch - unfortunately we have no stands!!!. Tallow is the birthplace of Charlie McCarthy who's son Mick McCarthy captained and managed the Republic of Ireland and Mick has been to our club on a few occasions. It will be the official opening of the floodlights and ye are all welcome. Tallow has 7 pubs,3 restaurants and a couple of B&B's and a small hotel. If I can be of any help please do not hesitate to drop me a mail.

Yours in Sport

[JW.]

Superb stuff.

[corbyeire]

having the attention span of a goldfish

please state the friendlies date opposition location time - thanks

[gufct]

Confirmed in the Galway Independent today Galway United -v- Monaghan United Feb 13th K.O. 7.45PM at Shiven Rovers excellent Pitch in Newbridge Co. Galway. That well known poster "Pa Rossie Dunne" will be able to give directions to all and Sundry!!!!!!!

[Magicme]

I thought it was going to be in Athlone! Gutted now have to travel further than I thought.

[GuisaSaigon]

The Newbridge Brigade will be out in force. Pa whats the pub scene like in Newbridge? Should be a nice little excursion.

[Magicme]

Where is Newbridge?? Is it before Galway coming from Athlone or where??

[Patrick Dunne]

The Newbridge pub scene is the Shiven Inn and Cunninghams.
The Shiven will be the location for before and after match pints, Cunninghams would be more of a GAA spot.

Coming from Galway, take a right at Loughgeorge (Central Tavern) and continue through Lackagh, Turloughmore, Abbeyknockmoy along the Roscommon road. Turn right at the Tuam junction in Brierfield, go through Moylough and take the first major left to Newbridge, approx 5 miles from Moylough and 32 miles from Galway City. The ground is 1 mile from Newbridge - take a right in the centre of the village. It should be easy to find at night-time.

For those of you with a sense of adventure, a Bus Eireann bus leaves Galway at 4.25 and will drop you in Newbridge at 5.45 approx.

Anyone coming from Monaghan, pm me or JW for directions.

[JW.]

Any chance there'll be a supporters bus or is it too short a journey??

[gufct]
