St Pats are fairly leaking goals this weather.
Thats 5 in 2 matches and one of those matches against a 1st Division side.
How many will Hertha Berlin score? Are they better than Sporting Fingal?
Getting a bit carried away there.Quote:

It could be another potentially historic night for Irish football in ruins :mad:
Atleast it won't be worse than the most embarassing ever - yourselves against Derby Co. :rolleyes:Quote:

I don't think this will affect the Uefa Cup games as the players should be able to refocus with reasonable break.
Have a look at the picture of Colm James celebrating the equaliser next to the RTE match report. It looks like he's eaten half the Pat's team and he's hungry for more!
Replay Sept 26th according to the RTE report.
Which means we have to arrange another fixture for a week night.Quote:

fair fecks to fingal!:)
That's harsh alright, it's hard to get people out at the best of times but especially midweek when there's little to play for. The Champions League will be starting soon too.Quote:

wouldnt be running down pats off the back of tonight.probably had one eye on next week thinking they would cruise it and i reckon that sporting side is decent enough by 1st division standards.anyone get the pats line up
why? a team with a big if not the biggest budget in the first division? a team almost made up entirely of prem div players? Id give them credit for motivating themselves to play week in week out with one of the worst supported clubs ever on a par with another one man solo run thing Dublin City.Quote:

Joe O'Cearuillhad the single worst performance I've ever seen in a pats jersey. Harris was shocking too.
We put out probably as strong a team as we could but if all fit, a max of 4/5 players would be playing. If Fahey, Quigley and Gavin don't play in berlin its going to be a long night. Quigley was kicked in the air by Robbie Doyle inthe 90th minute. An absolute shocking attempt at a tackle. Dreadful stuff
Was at the game really enjoyed, if you were there you would not have been able to tell who was premier and who was first. Sporting got a deserved draw.
Pats might be a bit depressed after last week, but that's no excuse to let down the whole league against this shower of chancers.
WTF? Strangest post on here in w long while. Which si saying something giving the amount of freaks and geeks we have hereQuote:

That's not a bad default position.Quote:
just blame fingal for everything!!!!!
While clearly it is difficult for shell-shocked Pats fans to digest, at a time when the LoI is on its knees, a club that is essentially some alderman's pet project and that represents a bizarre local administrative unit where no one actually lives is the last thing the game needs.
You're right. Pats drawing away to fingal is probably the worst atrocity ever committed to the league. We should all just kill ourselves now and put an end to this miseryQuote:

The short answer to say, ask them. they have a number of avenues of communication you may try.Quote:

Sporting Fingal's initial intention was to begin with an 'A' Division side. The Reserve/Support/Third tier Division, unfortunately through circumstances outside their control and juristiction a place in the eircom First Division was offered. Their ambition and confidence was a contributing factor in accepting that place.
UCD AFC have lost tangible assets to Sporting Fingal.
Fingal CC invest in their area and you cannot expect them to reach outside that.
(I will keep the '5 portions of fruit a day' and 'eat more fibre' arguments in reserve for later)
Wayside 1 Bohs 6
Fair play to Wayside for actually scoring a goal against bohs. When is the draw for semi finals
Bohs demolished Wayside today. It could've been more than six.
