Longford Thread:

1: Who is going, be it by CCISA bus, or over nighting it?

I know there will be alot of both. We are staying over at The Anvil, which is booked to overflow at this point, and if the last few trips are anything to go by, a few other BBs will be fairly booked solid as well.
Then there is the bus, which hopefully will be full. That should make at least 50-60 there, plus Im hoping there will be a good few people making the trip on spec, making a good away figure. What time is the bus leaving at? The usual spots before the game is either The Anvil Bar or Valentines for City fans anyway.

2. What should the team be? After the last 2 performances, there shoudl be no place for sentiment. We have been very poor overall so far, so a shake-up is needed. Heres my first 11 next week for what its worth

Devine
Colin....Dan Murray....Benno....Hoggy
Doyle...George...Sweeney...Kearney
Flynn....Fenn

While Murphy has been good, he shouldnt walk straight into the team, and by all accounts Colin did great at right back last fri (like he does in every position he plays in!). Hog to left back, and let Sweeny be the midfield enforcer we are so desperatley lacking.

I'd prefer
Devine
Hoggy....Dan Murray....Benno....Murphy
Doyle...Colin...George...Billy
Flynn....Fenn

but to be honest, I don't see Dolan dropping K. Murray.
I'd put Billy in there because Longford are very physical, and Kearney could get hammered by some of their mullockers.

Saw Danny Murphy play for the first time at Richmond and thought he had a great game in the second half. Really got stuck in.
As for Longford, we need someone solid in midfield. At times there was no one there blocking any Rovers attack last Friday.

i thought willie byrne( isnt that an std?) had a solid game friday night at centre half. he'll start i'd say. we need something from this fixture i think.

Some Flynnesque celebrations in Blazers after are on the cards if we win up there again!

as long as he drops kevin murray he can play anyone, himself included

Woooooooooooooooooooooo

Its that time again, Longford, slip me some skin dudes.


Woooooooooooooooooooooo

Longford is a place where Slurms likes to let it hang loose

Hoggy....DMurray....Byrne....Murphy
Doyle....George...Sweeney....Billy(for the reasons patsh gave)

Lads, please, those who are texting me asking about accomodation, please stop.

We have no more space in The Anvil, no exceptions.

There are plenty more BBs about the place, or for those who can splah the cash, the Arms is quite a nice ol spot!

Never noticed it, but then generally wouldn't be looking for a B&B in Longford...

Im sure we could get a 5 a side going provided that
a: We arent using a plastic football
b: There is a proper pitch booked.

Last time, there was a plastic ball, and the pitch we were due to use, was being used by some female football team.

Plus, i reckon we make it worth our while. €5 a man???

Longford here we come.... is Blazers ready for the invasion of drunken City fans? Flynny celebrations on the dance floor will be the order of the night!
I've even got a new hairstyle especially for the trip!! (I await the ridicule!) :)
As for a five a side game? Why not, we'll hammer them but it will do our confidence the world of good to get 10 goals each!

As for the main event.... we need to bounce back after the Rovers game and I think we could do so with the following line up:
Devine
Hoggy Dan Benno Murphy
Doyler Fenn Colin Kearney
Georgie Flynny
