I was on that trip too. I took an allergic reaction to something I ate and went into anaphaletic shock. Found a chemist for antihistamines. Sadly I wasn't fit to take part int he sessions. Great bar and location.

Yeah, numerous LOI players played in those leagues and in house tourneys. I played with and against Paul Doolin, Alan O'Neill and a guy in Revenue who was either Derek O'Neill or Derek McGrath. Can't remember.

surprised it wasnt mentioned another low for us was being stranded at Dublin Airport from 7 am to 10 pm due to rogue travel agent not securing a bond with airline to reserve a spot for us to fly for FC Lovech match! never went to the UEFA cup match in the end in 2001. another strange thing happened was anyone who paid in cash got their money back which was me and one of my mates didnt cos as he paid it differently.
It was thanks to our vice chairman who got our players on another plane for Bulgaria as our chairman at the time was drinking down the pub apparently! only one fans plane went in the end instead of two!!
He was a poor mans Roddy Collins.
Derry signing a player from England in the early noughties and being shown the Brandywell and thinking it was our training ground and Celtic park next door was our actual ground and not being corrected by the manager.

Not League of Ireland but holy god this is mad!
What's the punishment in the LSL for failing to fulfill a fixture? Is it really so bad as to risk something so ridiculous?
Anyone know where Ballybrack are sitting in the table in whatever league they play in. Let them at least be in with a shout of winning something for doing something so daft or not coming clean when teams started wearing black armbands, fundraising or whatever!
Derek O'Neill played for Revenue, Paul Doolin, Dept. of Agriculture (I think), Alan O'Neill Dept. Education, Bobby Brown Dept. Social Welfare, Dave Dwyer Dept.Social Welfare and Dept. Labour . There were many, many more turning out, some used it as a way to stay fit in the summer (others were blackmailed/ threatened/encouraged by colleagues :cool:) the Civil Service League was almost like a LOI All Stars ;)

loved ballybracks press release very witty at times... reminds you so much of the stephen ireland incident.
Seen this on Twotter earlier.

I can imagine that the pitch wasnt much better than the parking area!
Game in the U17 European Championships in Longford held up because the ref went to Offaly instead 😂
very funny story tonight! I was stewarding at the game tonight and spoke to the taxidriver at it! he made a honest mistake. he hadnt being to Longford in over 20 years and made the wrong turn at Kinnegad! he showed me how little battery he had and obviously couldnt use his sat-nav!
and to make it more interesting the last time he was in Longford was in the mid 90s when he reffed a Longford Town Home Farm game in Mullogher when a certain Stephen Kenny was playing for Home Farm!
I cant remember his name but he reffed in the 90s and early 00s and reffed our games in Abbeycartron and Mullogher!
its only in the league of ireland that this happens!
Wrong anthems played out in Bray this afternoon. The Austrian anthem was announced, but the Spanish one was played, and then vice versa.
Did the Austrians sing the Spanish anthem?
3 Sligo fans landed in Waterford tonight expecting a League of Ireland game apparently,at least they got a game!
The Kilcoynes’ sale of Milltown has been mentioned but Louis then went on to become President of the FAI !! I mean you couldn’t write better fiction and then they were going to have a minute’s silence to mourn his passing at LOI games - at least they had the sense to drop that.
Has to be up there :D

27 min. The Finn Harps mascot has been sent off for pretending to save shots behind our goal (0-0)

During the game? Could have been distracting though still funny!
He wasn't exactly sent off, just told by the referee to clear off from behind the goal as he was mimicing every move the goalkeeper made.
Former Harps player Conor keddy in the costume
too, and he's mad as a bag of cats.
