[Monkfish]

The bleakness awaits.

Us 6/4

Draw 9/4

May i recommend the draw at 9/4 doubled up with Longford beating Shels @ 5/1.
Worth a euro.

Many travelling up for this one?


Also can someone inform Live 95FM that kick off is 7.30pm and not 7pm as they said on their sports bulletin this morning.

Typical :rolleyes: A Part-time team have a game refixed for a Monday which is in two days time. It would have made more sense if it was refixed for the weekend of the 5th round of the FAI Cup as both sides are knocked out.

Listen here youngster, that type of thinking is just not on, how dare you suggest that a brain be used in looking farward beond the end of a pint glass. Full bus turned around half hour into journey today.

Mortified for you. :)

Mortified for you. :)

I meant to say Shels beating Longford 5-1 (was only 1 goal out) :D

As regards Athlone, what difference does 2 days over a wet weekend make to a waterlogged pitch?

[Battery Rover]

It is a sand based pitch with built in drainage under it. If you get 2 hours dry weather all the water drains from it. During the really dry weather we have to put sprinlers on it for two days before matches to take the hardness out of it>

Spoke to the groundsman about 5 minutes ago and he says there is no problem with it at the moment.

[Jofspring]

So definately going ahead tonight?

As I said the pitch was fine when I spoke to the groundsman.

I am travelling from Limerick as well and don't need another wasted journey. I will be checking again around 2pm before I leave here and I will be in the ground from about 4.30 so can check again then

[Jofspring]

Tierney two and David Ryan 3.0

Looking for the first name of Lyons, who started v Athlone last night. Anyone?

[Monkfish]

2 fine goals by Tierney but the suspect Athlone defence helped a little.
Tommy went off injured, anyone got any update on this?

[Battery Rover]

They helped for all 3 goals

I am uploading highlights at the moment

Wow... you really are a sad loser, kid!

Wow... you really are a sad loser, kid!

And you're about the 200th person to make a 'clever' remark about my user name. Go you. :rolleyes:

[Philbert]

In fairness, i think it was justified looking at the comments you made above

Back to the footy

where do L37 train these days? Do they train twice a week or what?

[Lim till i die]

Wow... you really are a sad loser, kid!

Philbert??

As in Dilbert??

That crappy little office cartoon strip??

Unlike SLK you, sir, are clearly the height of cool :rolleyes:

MORTIFIED FOR YOU etc etc etc




On the game that is easily the worst Athlone team I have ever seen a farce of a joke of an embaressment of a football team.

On an aside I realise Athlone Town FC is nowadays a mere husk of a once fairly decent football club but is there really any need to invite every skobie from the surrounding parishes to crawl on their bellies to the ground in an effort to boost a pathetic attendance which despite the presence of what seemed like at least 25,000 chav stereotypes still managed to barely scrape over the 100 mark??

FFS, sort your club out.

[Lim till i die]

I think Hogan Park/UL and three nights a week are your answers there.

Not 100% mind.

I was hoping that somebody would take it a signal that I was curious as to how this Lyons character came about his nickname. May have been a bit subtle for you.

No, it wasn't too subtle, just a bit silly really.

The likes of you can just call in Thomas, that might be a bit simpler for you!

As i dont do sarcasm on this site, thanks for the compliment! :p

Cheers for that, slk, do you know any more on this?

More importantly, Have ye seen Yellow(Thomas) play yet?

[KevB76]

More importantly, Have ye seen Yellow(Thomas) play yet?

Yeah, he played in the friendly v Pike, and v Athlone away the following week.
He was very impressive v Pike, basically ran the show in mid-field, no exaggeration. He didnt stand out as much v Athlone but I'm expecting great things from him when he gets into the swing of it :ball:
