Could be the second last match for a few of them for a long time
Had Ger O’Brien on Between the Stripes LOI podcast last night, interesting to hear him talk about how Bray beat Pats to a number of targets in pre season by offering silly money. It seems to irk him quite a bit.

Talk of Paul Doolin or Johnny McDonnell take over at the wanderers, hopefully they can convince players to join up now.
Is Doolin not still the Ireland U-19 manager?
Tom Mohan is in charge of the Ireland under-19s now.Quote:

Pity they can't find a new manager.
what is fora.ie as got that notification on my mobile? its Johnny Ronan. didnt think he was a loi man at all!
He's not, he's a seaside apartment blocks man.
So have the club just announced the person they plan to build flats on land they don't own and who's owner won't sell it to them ?
I don't think they announced anything.
The article is here. It looks like it's just referring to the North Korea statements earlier in the year.
You got it, there's nothing new in this, it's a re-hash and the Ronan reference is historic.Quote:

Serious promises there..
I think it's funny how they keep referencing a Katie Taylor 'equivalent in soccer', when she's already an established footballer in her own right.
It's sad that a lot club is being run by these complete muppets
Rumblings of something coming out of Bray soon, have heard no details but implication was it wasn't overly positive.
Keith Buckley was having a good go earlier at the Bray twitter account over not receiving any contact from the club or hearing anything about when training starting back
What I can see on his Twitter is that Conor Kenna and Liam O'Brien are the new management team.
Unless he is being sarcastic?
If it is true, it is to be welcomed as we need to be signing players to catch up with other teams that have been much more active - we already down 5 or 6 players, with no one new in!
He was joking about Kenna.
He's referring to this: https://twitter.com/bloodbuckley66/s...62224634679297

I've got nothing. It will end eventually, hopefully in our lifetime :)Quote:

The Fai are an absolute disaster
Interesting tweet from Bray a few minutes ago
https://twitter.com/BrayWanderers/st...48184138293248Quote:
The fixtures for the 2018 SSE Airtricity League season will be released on December 19th. With 36 league games in the PREMIER DIVISION next season, our season will kick off on Friday, February 16th.
Emphasis on "PREMIER DIVISION" theirs, not mine.
Interview with Denis O'Connor (he hasn't gone away you know) in today's Bray People. Unfortunately he's the one in charge of Bray's licence application. He has the poor mouth on saying Bray will be scrutinised more than most after last season but there's nothing in to say he's not expecting to get a Premier licence. More moans about the Carlisle Grounds, the pitch (which funny enough used to be one of the best in the country) and the lack of support through the stiles. Anyway, for those wishing Galway back up, don't forget they were asking their season ticket holders to pay through the stiles at the end of last season.
Far be it from a Dundalk fan to defend Galway but maybe that was because they were likely to be relegated and spotted a good opportunity to boost the coffers before the graveyard. Which you could link to the unscrupulous dealings of other clubsQuote:

No they didn't. It was a suggestion from the supporters trust.Quote:

It could do more harm than good for the club especially in it's new fan owned state.

If Denis O Conor is the applicant one would wonder whether a license would be granted. Applicants have to be fully tax compliant and Denis has made a few appearances in Stubb's gazette. Not sure of full details or whether they would impact tax compliance but potentially there could be issues there. There certainly would be if we had a functioning fit and proper persons test.

That's kinda the point, if the team isn't good enough to get a play off spot in the first division it's hardly not going to come last in the premier.Quote:
