What about Bray Cabs? Oh, no, that's taken ...
Got kicked out of McDowell's shortly before midnight. Thought they might stay open a bit longer for the occasion, but no...Quote:

The local carabinieri are spoil sports, the merest hint of merriment in the locality and they march straight in. Our celebrations got cut short a few times over the years.Quote:

Seems to happen regularly in Europe, particularly in Belgium, Spain and Germany, where clubs hold matriculations, or merely the right to a league placing, so when clubs go bust, other teams buy the rights, often to bounce up a division - see FC Andorra in Spain, and how Red Bull got into the German league pyramid.Quote:

Senior team to remain as Bray and underage LOI teams to be named Cabinteely.
That's far too sensible. Do they not realise this is the LOI??Quote:

Echoes of Home Farm - then a junior club - buying and usurping Drumcondra in 1972, wheh they were one of the LOI's aristocrats (albeit a struggling one) ? Though at least Home Farm won out in that name game.
It just seems like Cabo paid the St Joe's lads to leave so they could run Brays youth teams instead

Examiner saying we're looking at a 9-team second tier next season instead of 'seeking expressions of interest'.
Why would you not seek expressions of interest?
Especially given the LoI is talking of adding a dozen or so new clubs in 2023 for a third tier.
What hope does that have if it's already a foregone conclusion we can't find one new team for the second tier?
Here we go again :D Irish Sea FC ready to go at it again, their Twitter is quite active on the topic in the last few minutes

based solely on their Twitter posts, I'll picket Abbotstown if these clowns ever get anywhere near the League of IrelandQuote:

So after all this talk of Cabo takin over Bray its going to be Bray Wanderers as per normal in the loi next season.Cabinteely will return to running underage sides. The only difference is that Pat Devlin and Eddie Gormley return to Bray as manager and coach.
So this Irish sea crowd who on earth are they??
Massive craic had out of that lad and his unbelievable delusions.Quote:

Read interestin piece on RTE site today bout this. Reason Gary Cronin quit from Bray was that he refused to accept a reduced role as coach with them.Quote:

No new team next year to replace Cabinteely.
9 isn't ideal but I suppose they should plan it out rather than going for a stop gap solution just for the sake of making up the numbers.Quote:

I wonder has the third tier talk led to this.
About the only good thing about this announcement is that is messes that flute over. :)Quote:
