Probably should be a law for the first person to bring up a made up internet law in discussion too

West Stand is the main stand.
It's probably already been said on here, but Roy Keane will take his new Ipswitch Town team to Ireland to play two friendlies, one against Cork City, at Turner's Cross, and Keane will also visit The Crystal City to take on Waterford United, both games are in mid July.
Ipswich will also play Finn Harps on Tues July 7th.
HulaHoop, is our game with you definitely the 18th? I had heard it was moved to the 17th.Quote:

Kop this –Pool to take on West Cork’s best
By Sean O’Riordan

IT pays to think big – just ask members of a small, rural soccer club who have landed a match against Liverpool.
Dunmanway Town XI player David Hall simply called Anfield six weeks ago and asked would the men in red like to travel to west Cork for a game.
"I had my reservations when he did it. We have no association with the club and I honestly thought they’d ignore us," club manager John Buckley said.
"Now we’re just over the moon."
Liverpool won’t be sending Steven Gerrard or Fernando Torres but have promised to field a squad which could include Dutch internationals Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel as well as French under-21 David Ngog and Daniel Agger.
The David v Goliath clash will take place at 2pm on August 6, but not on the Dunmanway club’s pitch. "We simply wouldn’t have the space. We’re hoping to attract up to 3,000 fans, so we will be staging the match at Maria Immaculata Community College, in Dunmanway," Mr Buckley said.
Liverpool club secretary, Ian Silvester, confirmed yesterday they had accepted the invitation and will fly into Cork the night before the game.
"In its decision to hold this game Liverpool FC, who are aware of their enormous fan base in the region, are bringing a taste of the Premier League to all their fans in west Cork," Mr Buckley said.
The club were runners up in the West Cork Premier League last season. But they won’t be able to match Liverpool’s firepower.
"We are hoping to draft in a couple of League of Ireland players so we can make a game of it. Liverpool are aware of our intention and have no problem with it," Mr Buckley said.
Tickets will cost €20 for adults and €10 for children and senior citizens.
The club, which has around 300 members, will use the money raised to further develop its pitches and purchase new equipment.
It’s unlikely that any fans will travel over from the Kop but then Liverpool needn’t worry as there are thousands of their supporters in Cork who will no doubt be clamouring for tickets.

Seems like you're wrong on both accounts. :p
Your right on the both account. The Skunks have won many trophies but we've (SAFC) won more leaguesQuote:

Newcastle's last success was in 1969 in the Inter-cities (which some people don't count as a major trophy)
Sunderland's last was in 1973. Making us the last North East team in England to win a major trophy. (Middlesbrough don't count:D)
As everyone can now see we're both big clubs!
I don't blame you for not knowing your history because like most Toon fans you didn't realise Newcastle had a football team until 1992.
Any enough of this nonsense this is a Irish football forum and we should keep it that way.
End of.
Are Dundalk and Linfield got any plans for a friendly now that have linked up?
