Nothing for Alan Kelly?
Hope the protests of the Galway United fans haven't harmed his prospects. ;)

Hopefully these refs are better than the idiots we have.I think Alan Kelly is staring in a porn movie so he was unavailable at such short notice.

He's probably just dizzy and confused from looking up from the bottom of the league.This can happen when you have no home,when you're not wanted anywhere and other people force you to disgrace the name of your club and supporters.How many Rovers fans will be left next season when they play 1st division football.

I froze my nuts off with the 20 or so others in both Abbeycartron and Mullollogher so i don't consider myself a bandwagoner.The thing about LTFC is that it is a huge success story from the few mere souls and kip of a ground to what we have now.Our club is slowly but surely building it's self up season by season while the mighty Rovers fall.I'm not gloating i'm just stating the facts.Do you really think that thousands of Rovers fans are going to turn out to watch Rovers play the likes of Kilkenny or Monaghan.I for one don't.I know most of our fan base is made up of bandwagoners but so is a lot of clubs.We can bring thousands to Landsdowne but feck all make the trek to Flancare.Cork can have 6,000 in the cross one weekend and 3,000 the next.The same goes for all clubs.The fair weather fans turn up for the so called big games it's just the way it is.I just think that a SRFC fan coming on here and having a go at LTFC is a bit rich considering the state your club is in.Some Cork fans have been getting on my tits lately but whether i like them or the club is irrelevent.I will still cheer for them in Europe as they are representing our league.I'm not that petty to allow my feelings towards a club cloud the bigger issue and what is the best for the EL.

I think Kelly,s recent promotion within UEFA will see him come into the later rounds,much the same as the bigger clubs. :ball:
Rumour has it,he was seen house hunting in Galway recently ;)

Jesus christ....

You mean that clown is going to be reffing some of the bigger matches in the competition? Europes elite beware...

Though I suppose if Cork ever qualify he's handy for the odd penalty, eh? :p

How much do they want to keep him?

Saw McKeon handle an Ireland-Slovenia underage international and he called the game very well, perhaps because of the language barrier and consequent lack of verbals.
