As for our season, we have pretty much achieved what we set out to do at the start of the season. We are midtable(ish) and have the highest amount of points we have gotten in years. We kept within our budget, paid our players and have our new astro pitch going in early in the new year. While we would love to have been challenging for promotion with you guys, that was not the plan for this season as we have so many other things to achieve off the pitch so our aim was to be as competitive as we could be while doing these.
I am proud of the year we have had. We have beaten some of the best teams (unfortunately lost to some of the weaker teams) and have managed to keep our head above water. That my dear is a success in the year that was.
Yes but its a big word if your from Dundalk.:pQuote:

If you watch the MNS highlights of when Kalonas scored against Rovers - there is a "shockwave" of celebration as those at the back saw the ball go in - which then transferred down to the front as people who were stood there had no clue what had happened and went on the reactions of those stood behind them.
Add to that the "Rivers of Urine" stand - aka the Riverside - which I think is only being held together by sheer will and vegetation at this stage
And finally - the floodlights - when they aren't swaying in the wind, they're either not working at all or being set on fire by over eager Rovers fans at Cup Finals... ;)

Financially prudent it aint.
Have you the info to back that up coz in fairness I havent heard anything about them in trouble!
Lots of people I would consider to be very reliable sources normally.Quote:

Shels will report losses this season.
100k is they don't win the league
50K if they do.
Not fair eh
This is what I was looking for! :-p As for you having their books, jaysus lord above help them if you did! :DQuote:

Dundalk. This time last year I would have definitely disliked them more than Shels but that... that has changed.
Who cares why or how many people vote for whoever, its only a tintert poll. When (tempting fate?) we win tomorrow, Im sure this will be the last thing on your mind, Higgo..
I'd like Dundalk to go up. Don't want to go there next season and Shels is a handy away trip.
Dundalk.
That'd be two rival teams we wouldn't have to face next season then. ;) :p
The Connacht St. stand is worse than anything else in Tolka.Quote:

didn't think they had the players at the beginning of the season but they're hanging in there and I really hope results go their way tonight. Come-on-ye-Lily-Whites.......
Why were my posts deleted? This forum is a ****in joke.
My posts were also deleted. Its because you disagreed with a Limerick fan who happens to be a mod. He PM'd me calling me a clown but sure he's a mod so that's fine.Quote:

Well it is home of the home of Irish football, so yes. :pQuote:

Delighted for Dundalk, I have relatives on the Carrick Rd and have been to Oriel a few times over the years, always enjoyed it.........
Good news for visiting fans next season, the railway bar which has been closed for a year or so (2 minute walk from oriel for those who dont know the area) is due to re-open any day, twice the size, restuarant etc, good timing by the owners !
Hopefully we can now change from thurs nights to either fri or sat, time to move on from that and to utilise the huge extra away support it would attract. No reason we cant as we have both bars up and running now
Why do Dundalk have their games on Thursday, as a matter of interest?
Any chance of a friendly?Quote:

Like the toilet with no running water we were given last night?Quote:
