HulaHoop, is our game with you definitely the 18th? I had heard it was moved to the 17th.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

Kop this –Pool to take on West Cork’s best
By Sean O’Riordan
Wednesday, June 24, 2009
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.

Galway United vs Millwall
Terryland Park
Sunday July 19th
to get a ticket for the match you have to buy a €30 ticket that will get you into not only the millwall match but also the home matches against Cork and dundalk also.
Good marketing ploy but would probably work better if it where against a bigger team!
I know but what are you going to do ? Dundalk were scheduled in there at the start of the season !!!!!!
Either way we're still a bigger club than Galway!I know but what are you going to do ? Dundalk were scheduled in there at the start of the season !!!!!!
Being a Sunderland fan you'd know all about second rate football.Whatever happen to the Rovers-Sunderland game? I thought this was to be re-arranged?

If Newcastle and Rovers are playing each other, will your hatred be abe to be contained?
Yeah and Maybe Steve Staunton could be Niall Quinn's next bitch.

I can only imagine the amount of evil in that stadium that night! I suppose both set of fans can compare notes on been deluded and having to play second fiddle to there bitter rivals.
Shamrock Rovers have won more trophies than Bohs.I can only imagine the amount of evil in that stadium that night! I suppose both set of fans can compare notes on been deluded and having to play second fiddle to there bitter rivals.
Newcastle United have won more trophies than Sunderland.
Seems like you're wrong on both accounts.

Your right on the both account. The Skunks have won many trophies but we've (SAFC) won more leaguesShamrock Rovers have won more trophies than Bohs.
Newcastle United have won more trophies than Sunderland.

Sunderland
League
6 times winners
5-times runners-up
Our last title was in 1936 (the last time a team in strips won the English League)
F.A Cup
2 times winners
2 times runner-up
Newcastle
League
4 times winners
2 times runners-up
Your last league title in 1927
F.A Cup
6 times winners
7 times runners-up
Inter-cities Cup
1 time winners
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
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?
