Surprised there weren't loads of folks out to see their Old Firm heroes.
Couple of good goals there.
So that's what a LOI ground looks like with people in it.Quote:

Cracking second goal for Bohs by trialist Enzo. Large crowd over from England too. I didnt realise the game was on today.
I saw someone earlier today waiting at a bustop near me with a Villa top on. I thought it strange at the time,now I know where he was going.
villa jerseys are really common in longford funnily enough,Quote:

what was the crowd for the port vale game?
many bohs fans at it??
2 bohs goals were quality, hopefully it will attract a few barstoolers to games
386 at port vale and about 1400 at the Villarreal game tonight. It's been a very long week and still an under 20s game in Dublin to get through on Sunday.Quote:

Dundalk didn't organise any friendly's this year. Don't think Gerry Matthews (Dundalk Chairman) was impressed with the ones we had last year, with a Barcalona team supposely coming over being canceled and then the Alectico Madrid reserves not attracting a big crowd. Instead of a friendly we are having a badminton tournament in the new youth development centre. Should get a few quid for the club :)
The pitch certainly wouldnt help in trieing to attract top quality sides to play friendlies in oriel tbh
Strictly not LoI but they played in the U20s a few years back.
Ballinasloe Town 2 Port Vale 3.
Attendance about 200 - about 15 Port Vale fans. Great display by Ballinasloe. They equalised twice through Brian Campbell and had chances to do so again.
Ballinasloe have some good players great to see them taking on port vale.Quote:

Derry host St Mirren in a friendly tonight.
Any info on how strong a team Derry will play is appreciated as I contemplate a bet on Derry.
This is St Mirrens third game in 3 days having beaten Ballymena 2-0 on Sunday and losing 2-1 to Crusaders last night.
Match ended up 1-1 Derry had a 2nd String team, only first teamers that played were Davy McDaid and Daniel Lafferty who equalised for Derry. Resting players for Friday night, Molloy and Harkin are already out for the game due to injury, but Deery, Scoltock and Parkhouse are back for the gameQuote:

Write up from the Everton website. Strange that they only allowed Coleman 10 minutes
Disappointing alright. More to do with the start of the coming season id say. Especially as he has had his squad number changed to 23 from 31 (what with the EPL 25 man squad rule). Must be in Moyes plans, no doubt Stubbs told to take him off.Quote:

I thought the Sligo fans were saying that Everton would bring a strong team?
There's a very good chance he'll be starting against Blackburn on Saturday, he's played at right back the most in pre-season.Quote:

5,000 to see a reserve team? :s
Harps Legends playing Celtic legends in Finn Park on Friday, game has been arranged for weeks now and although the Celtic lads prefered Saturday, we convinced them to play it on the Friday (so as not to clash with our away tie against Longford).
Thankfully, those nice people at Longford have now changed their home games to Friday (as of this week), nice of them.
can this country become anymore pathetic,There are some sad cases following english football .Quote:

Anyone care to guess the attendance of man U reserves v Arsenal reserves in Tallaght next week?
If it doesnt attract four or five thousand I would be suprised, a chance to see the stars of the future shine who could resist:rolleyes:Quote:

I'll be going to both games though and don't usually go to see these friendlies we play, our first team squad has so much depth now it'll be interesting to see who's playing and playing well, as well as a handful of younger A-Team players who won their league last year.
