I had a quick look on the RTE player - he said something about Galway not being fit for the Premier. Well, anyone with a pulse can see that, so what's the big deal?Quote:

If they put a nice video together he might get them into the Nicaraguan Leauge-Division 4 ;)Quote:

I can't see them winning either leg of their playoff. Any half-decent, high morale 1st Division side should win comfortably.
And the reason they were demoted was not their fault thats why they won the appeal. So yes they did meet the conditions.Quote:

Stewy byrne or fingal supporters wouldnt know a lot about that
I'm with you geezer.
Just one thing though, Fungus went boom before the season started. Dublin City imploded mid-season.
Incidently I'm no better today. I just lost ten minutes of my life looking for a stream of Leeds United V Cardiff City -which kicks off at 1pm ...tomorrow :oQuote:

I don't know if Stewy Byrne was faulting fans for saving their club - I'm certainly not: of course, anyone can see that Galway's supporters should be in the Champions League; forget the LoI premier.
I was making a point about the standard of football they've produced this year.
As for loyalty to Fingal? Well, even if I could afford to get that "SFFC 'tl I die" tattoo surgically removed from my left arse cheek I would never do it.
No need, now that you support Shelbourne fookin' Football Club.Quote:

Going by comments Devlin made during the season, it seems he needs more support from the powers that be in the club?
An elegant solution, but what about the wheelie bin bird on the other cheek?Quote:

I think he got his whole body covered in an enormous tattoo representing a quasi-biblical scene: On his chest he has a fantastic three headed Liam Buckley/Gerry Gannon/serpent hybrid holding out a football, trying to entice a bashful looking naked man and woman to take the offering.... On his back you can see the two figures standing on some barren, windswept waste land (surrounded by a running track) looking forlorn with only a Fingal scarf, Fingal hat and the now deflated football to cover their nudie bits.
Beautiful work. The poor chap can't leave the house.
Well we, like most other clubs in the league, can't afford to add to the squad and can't realy afford the squad we have. I think that's the norm for LOI clubs at the moment. It will be annoying if we lose players, we've assembled such a good squad over the last few years, and we're a couple of additions away from a potentially great team but we may be left talking about what might have been. Hopefully we can hang on to the bulk of our team though.Quote:
