A couple of years ago the first division fixture were to be reversed but for some reason they reversed some and left some the same.Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin

Signed for Pats.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Confirmed signed for Pats. Some squad being put together - midfield from Russell, Carroll, McFaul, Forrester, Conan Byrne and Brennan, with Bolger, Coombes probably signing and Dawson possibly.
It's cos it's the FAI running things.. The same has definitely happened before with Premier fixtures too.
They'll just arrange them whatever way they want. Just be thankful if we see the fixtures in good time, don't push your luck expecting consistency!

DUNDALK are on course to unveil Stephen Kenny as their new manager before the end of the week .
The Dubliner is close to agreeing a compensation package with his former employers, Shamrock Rovers, which will leave him free to take the role. It's anticipated that the process will speed up today. Kenny (right) has already held extensive discussions with the Louth club regarding their plans for 2013.
Projects I can't be ott on as they're in negotiation stage (one will come to serious light in January) but the main one is not close to home - and in a place where he's regarded as a god.
He was in the final 3 for the Maltese head coach job but when you realise that the head coach doesn't actually pick the team there, it's not the place to go. He'd been in the final shake up for another international job and turned down an offer, though I'm not sure why he did so.
Pats are building quite the side for 2013!
Derry's fans opinons on Stephen Kenny? No point asking the Rovers lads as we know there view but he seemed to be somewhat succesfull with Derry? How was his relationship with the under age set up?
Just looking back at his previous league standing when in charge in the LOI (bar last season) and to me its pretty impressive and its a bit of a coup for us, given the managers we had flaoting about this time last year (Gormely & McCaffery).
A few Home wins, a decent standard of football and a mid table finish will have me happy next season.
It's mixed.
I'm a big fan of his. He done well when he was here.
Some people weren't happy with the manner in which he left the first and second time, but he was looking after his own interests and we'd all have done the same, IMO.
Regarding the underage, we've a few great coaches responsible for them. It's those coaches who have nutured the talent. Kenny did give the younger lads a chance, especially during his second spell, but then again, he didn't really have much of a choice as we'd no money to buy.
He's a good catch for Dundalk and should do well. Just don't let him dictate the budget and ye'll be fine.
Coombes linked with Blackpool in the football 365 gossip column today!
Kenny has agreed compo with Rovers and Dundalk are set to announce a new gaffer anytime now, they just invited all supporters and media to meet the new manager tomorrow afternoon at 2pm.
BetweenTheStripes.net - Home of Between the Stripes LOI podcast.
Meet and greet in the lilywhite at 7:30pm tomorrow evening. Gary O'Neill rumoured to be heading to us too.
Kenny did well at Derry, but it is important to remember that he had the benefit of players who had two contracts for a lot of the time there. Bad move by Shamrock R to sack him so early, before he had a chance to get rid of some of the senior pros there. Next season could be a very competitive league; Pats are putting a good squad together, Tallagh will be full of senior PFAI members, Cork will improve further and both Dundalk and Limerick should have full-time squads. Then you have the two teams who have won the major titles this year and Drogheda. Shelbourne and Bray, along with UCD could struggle. But there might not be any relegation next year to worry about. When was the last time that a team was actually relegated (leave Galway Utd aside since they did not compete the following year) ?
I'd say Waterford Utd were the last team to be relegated and compete in the first division the next season.
all that european money p!ssed away by Rovers yet?
- has been players on big wages
- manager contract
- manager contract settlement
- new short term director of football contract
- new manager & coaching staff contracts
- new players
- decreased crowds
- no European cash this season...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Maybe so but sure they can always get work pulling pints in the Maldron Stu!
how are they for groundskeeping staff?

It would still be only a fraction of what yous squandered, difference being of course, Rovers spent/wasted/****ed away money they actually have , not borrowed from all and sundry.
I don't think the SDCC parks dept would let them away with that one!
Laws was paid by a sponsor supposedly. It's hard to know how much of the European money has been spent on current expenses, but I think it's obvious this year has taken out a good chunk of it. The club's day to day running is not based on European income though, so the only major unforeseen expense is Kenny's sacking, which isn't going to cost anything close to the figures that have been bandied about.
