Heard that too from a very reliable Source. We will be touch and go for a Premier licence but at least the Trust will be running the club from now on and that can only be an improvement on the previous one man show.

Please let it be the end of Fingal. The inevitable has been dragging on for far too long now.

You've seen it yourself. I'm not surprised and hoped that they would pull it out of the fire, though here's hoping the LOI will have some positive publicity. Jesus I sound like Pollyanna. Good luck UCD, without wanting to be morose, your style of play will be as good a presence as Sporting Fingal. No disrespect to other clubs, just that Martin Moran always has his teams play with a bit of flair.

edit: Oops, meant Martin Russell, don't ask me why Martin Moran was on my mind?

**pineapple stu** · 09/02/2011, 3:45 PM

Martin Moran, who hasn't been at the club in nine years?

Imagine there's more to follow on Fingal as it's not as if they can't field a team.

**Dodge** · 09/02/2011, 3:48 PM

Tony O'Donoghue reporting that Bukley is meeting with players now and "it doesn't look good"

Twitter acting up too, which is a shame

Fair enough Spud. Thought your contacts had told you more

However the vultures are beginning to circle, looking for a bargain

Martin Russell does his best too.

So The Lep, you still sure your club didn't cheat by signing players and hiring new staff they couldn't afford?

**pineapple stu** · 09/02/2011, 3:51 PM

We could be the new Bohs - instead of selling our ground twice, we can sell Bolger twice.

Will you still have him after that though?

And did you sell one of his legs at some point but later deny it?

Did we get paid the first time?

Three goals behind Portadown, whom they meet in the League Cup Final soon, so maybe not that much of an improvement. They've Glen Ferguson up front (who's now 41 and more of an impact sub these days, but still quite dangerous) and obviously Billy in nets. They're great though - if we weren't in pre-season with a new squad, I'd fancy us for sure. They may have that final more on their minds than this, as the game on Monday will be their fifth in 13 days, all of which will help address the pre-season imbalance. I'd say it'll be 50/50 to be honest.
