nearly cracked up over christmas looking at fecking english football on the box,
would have loving to be able to catch a live game at home over the christmas period,
Bring Back Winter Football,
anyone know when the players normally get back training and news on up coming friendly's ?
Well doesnt Summer football at least cover the 3 months when there isnt even a game cross channel to watch. What would you prefer, no footy at all for 3 months or no Eircom League games over the Winter when pitches are ****e anyway?
would have liked a game on stephens day alright but is brilliant to be able to watch footie when the sun is shining, and evenings are warm and beer is cool
oh happy days, what date is it , please someone tell me it is march, cant wait for kick off
The Shamrock Rovers lads were back in the gym on new year's eve. They're off to Spain early in February.Quote:

Dundalk FC return to training on Tuesday January 22nd. Our friendlies are listed here with the first one on Thursday February 7th.
I agree with Juanace on the 3 months with no football vs. 3 months with no eL. You could always pop across the Border to see a live game if you miss it that much.
Bring back winter footie, we have some good crimbo related chants/songs that we couldn't bring out, so disappointing. :( :p
the cup of soup doesnt work as well in the middle of july thats for sure:D:D
Waterford united players back on the 18th
Think Rovers back in training on the 21st.
UCD players back last night.
Bohs are back on January 17th. Then we are heading to some spanish resort that is a new sponser of ours to train for a week and play a friendly.
i love it. I think its the best move ever made in Irish football
Galway United back on the 20th January but all Players were giving a personal training and fitness regime at the end of last season. I was actually shocked to ring one of them on Stephens Day who was just back from Training with the rest of the Dublin based players .
Likewise with UCD. I'd imagine most clubs do this.Quote:

those were the days.
To me I think summer football is a disaster for most clubs crowds are down fo many reason,I also think it has killed the athmosspere at games also.Nothing like a dark winters evening to sit and watch a game of football.As for pitchs well after the summer we had this year Id say there was as many games posponed this year as anytime during winter football.Quote:

I would agree completely - a nice hot day, ideally by the beach, followed by warm evenings watching footie, beer in the stands, pubs open late.Quote:
