While the Liverpool team will have some big names from the past in addition to Steve Staunton, like Ronnie Whelan, John Aldridge, Jason McAteer, Phil Babb and Michael Thomas, for me the attraction is to see some true League of Ireland legends return to Oriel Park. It will be a real pleasure to see guys like Martin Lawlor, Tom McNulty, Terry Eviston, Alan O'Neill and Brian Byrne return.
For anyone chasing a bit of nostalga and good craic it kicks off at 3.30pm with adults €10 and kids €5. There is also the option of a Gala Dinner that evening at €50 a pop or you can have the full monty with hotel accommodation, match ticket and gala dinner at €100. All the Dundalk & Liverpool legends are staying in the hotel and it should be a great day and night.

UCD gave away 2000 free tickets for it. Truth. Good idea too.
Mate just told me 4-3.
Nah, the free tickets were rescinded. Dunno what happened, but ended up looking fairly bad for us. Someone fecked up, I think. There were about 700 at it; lots of Spanish students.
We won 4-3 in the end. Amazing stuff. Their keepers flapped at four crosses and we scored four times. We played really well though and deserved the win. So this year, we've beaten Galway and Drogheda (duh), the league leaders and now a Champions' League team. Don't do middle ground, us!
oh right - i hadnt heard about the rescission. Who and what was the objection i wonder??? Seemed like a perfectly good idea to me. Congrats on the win in Europe by the way - always nice!Quote:

who scored the goals? what kinda team did Villareal play? Heard they had a full squad, barring Rossi.Quote:

As Razor said + extra details ....Quote:

Great result though.
Absolutely. And on that, has a LoI side ever beaten a La Liga side before? I'm sure someone fluked it in the past, but can't think of anyone off hand.
Claim it as a first. Can't think of anyone and I'm sure it would have been etched on all our memories if it had happened as a retort for a Barstooler.
We should've beaten Depor... nearly never bulled a cow as someone here said recently.
Really? You think friendlies would matter in that argument?Quote:

No I doubt they would.
Point I was making more than anything is that if an LOI side had beaten Spanish opposition before we would know all about it.
Anyone going to Drogheda on Tuesday to see MK Dons? Shaun Williams is eligible to play for them now and they've got Jay O'Shea on trial.
Villarreal CF starting XI: Diego Lopez, Marchena, Capdevila, Mario, Joselu, Bardas, Ruben, Cani, Kiko, Borja Valero, Bruno.Quote:

Bray drew 1-1 with Liverpool reserves tonight. 6 of Liverpools starting team were u-18 players. So much for Pat Devlin promising a few first teamers.
Sounds like the Leeds scam Noel Mooney pulled down here a few years ago. :p
Did Devlin say that though? I only read about it being a Liverpool XI
He never once promised any first teamers. I was listen to the interiew live on eastcoast fm two sundays ago and he said Daglish would defo be there and was hoping he would bring a few first teamers with him, he promised nothing what so ever.
On the game itself, Bray were the better side in the first half and should have been a couple up. 2nd half was killed by all the subs made by Bray (9 in total i think). The standard of the Liverpool team bar a few players wasn't great, i was expecting a lot more from them being honest. I reckon our A Championship side would give them a good game. There 2 wingers though were lightening fast and caused a few problems near the end
In short, no!Quote:

He said Kenny was defo coming over and hoped that he would bring a few first teamers but because they were in the far east wasn't sure. Can't blame him for anything in that. Rumours flying around were that Gerrard, Mireles, Henderson and Reina were all coming over, turned out not to be trueQuote:
