This is more national team based, but didn't see a thread for it there. I see that the rugby team did an "open" training session at the Aviva today, ticketed but no charge, that had a load of people going from what I observed (I work nearby). Lots of kids especially, looked like it might be school teams? I know the FAI has done those occasionally, but is there a regularity to them where they happen once a year or is it more ad-hoc?
They did one day after cup final in 2022, don't recall another since, it was open to all ST holders.Quote:

Now that’s funny! More of this sort of stuff and less of the amateurish match updates stuff and they’re onto a winnerQuote:

Not sure what the investment involves tbh.
Very good!
We should invite all skinny girls called Elizabeth to our next home game in honour of our new away jersey.Quote:

Wexford's Twitter feed goes as Gaeilge for the Seachtain that's in it.
The team got a private tour of the American football stadium today and have participated in several events so far on the trip. Looking forward to the game tomorrow it will be interesting to see what kind of turnout the game gets.
Rovers have released a ticketing app to which, once signed-up, you can add all your home match tickets/season tickets, including in my case, my son's ST. Very useful and a great initiative from one of the newly-elected club members to the board.

I think all clubs who use future ticketing have this option. Harps have had it in use this season too.Quote:

Hopefully with the increased crowds we can recruit more members.
Not a planned promotion by any means but this was up on RTE today from their archives. Felix's moustache is some job!

Great find Nesta think the 1989 FAI cup Final was the first one I watched live! Remember it well to this day.Quote:

It’s not exactly a promo of the league or even the club exactly, but just more evidence that the LOI is in vogue at the moment if fashion retailers are using it in advertisements.
Wexford did a big campaign around their women's game on Saturday including free entry and a panel show thing upstairs.
Any word on attendance? Haven't seen any clips of the game but saw the players walking out and the stand didn't seem too populated, but that's only part of it of course.
Hard to judge as there was a big crowd in the clubhouse in Ferrycarrig Park for the game and a massive group of young players from Ellen Molloy's former club, Thomastown United. If you counted everybody, I'd put it at about 250. If I get an official figure, I'll post it up here.
Underdrogs : A league of Ireland Story - documentary (about 30mins), is now available on RTE player.
Wots it about SeanDrog?Quote:

The series began last season, covering 10 combustible fixtures from Athens to Anfield. We attended De Klassieker and the Derby della Capitale, the Eternal Derby and the Old Firm. We then resumed our journey this season by taking in games in Copenhagen, Salzburg, Lisbon and Belfast.
We were in Ipswich and Zagreb in December, then Sunderland and the Black Country, and watched Sparta play Slavia in Prague. We were in Poland for the Great Silesian derby and, last month, branched further afield to cover the Clasico Regiomontano.
Now to Dublin, a city of derbies, and Bohemians’ meeting with Shamrock Rovers…
"The continent's most volatile footballing rivalries"? Liverpool-Everton and Ipswich-Norwich? :D Talk about trying much too hard :rolleyes:Quote:

Watched this the night it came out, really great, would love to see more of this stuff.Quote:

Not LOI promotion per say, but I think Duff's interview with Richie Sadlier is very good. Mostly about life and Shels.
https://shows.acast.com/6529238408a2...2190012369ef7?
Thinking people hate Shels more than they love their own club ?
Shels fans have been floating that nonsense for years, even when they were rotting in the FD. Duffer just taking a page out of Jose playbook and building siege mentality.Quote:

Neil O'Riordan had an inside the back page double page spread in his rag that was somewhere between an apology and an homage to Shels during the week. At last weekends post match presser O'Riordan asked a question about the unspectacular way in which Shels were going about their business, it was a question that was more about Shels being impressive in how they are grinding out results and staying out in front even after dropping a bunch of points. Duff obviously took exeption and went on a rant about how defending is part of the game and if they were conceding goals the media would be going on about that, cant win with the media, everyone hates us etc etc. O'Riordan followed it up along the lines of others being envious rather than critical and if you must be doing something right to be in the spotlight like Shels are - queue additional Duffer ranting.
In his article then O'Riordan clarified the question, waxed lyrical about Shels defence giving a nod to Joey O'Brien, doubled down on how if there is criticism that it is rooted in envy, and finished up with Duff for the Ireland job if the FAI had the stones to approach someone who holds them in quite possibly the highest contempt of all. I agree with the Ireland call actually, if they cant get targets to take the job, they could do worse than a high profile, highly regarded former international who is showing that he can work with significant constraints of budget/talent, get a team organised, hard to beat and improve players. Duffer has shown that he is not afflicted by the talented player come coach inability or total disdain for players that are less talented - Glenn Hoddle Syndrome. He'd keep the FAI on their toes and his post match interviews would be essential viewing rather than car crash TV. He's already playing some in the media like a favourite flute!
It is amusing how riled up some people have let him get them :D
I mostly came away from it hoping he was going to be alright and finds some balance in his life.
I see Harps fans quite upset about the closing of a club shop..
