I'd expect it to receive the hard sell at all clubs this weekend. They do with the crap friendlies too.

I'm delighted its having trouble selling

one of the lads on our forum saying

apparently rumour has it the LOI clubs have been told that the players are not insured and if they're injured its tough ****, and the players were told they would be paid to play and now they are not and just given 4 free tickets each, bohs thinking about pulling their players out so should we

Saw that on the Rovers forum somewhere too.

**Charlie Darwin** · 30/07/2010, 3:45 PM

Sounds like complete unsubstantiated nonsense to me. If the LOI clubs had been told their players would be uninsured the entire panel would have been withdrawn immediately.

**pineapple stu** · 30/07/2010, 3:46 PM

You do know how the FAI works, yeah?

(Not saying you're not right; just you can't dismiss anything with the FAI)

**Charlie Darwin** · 30/07/2010, 3:51 PM

I mean the clubs may act stupid on a regular basis but if there was any grain of truth to this they'd have withdrawn all of their players immediately. This rumour is probably just a case of somebody getting the wrong end of the stick and Chinese whispers ensuing.

Hate when people do that, rip a post from another forum then post it on another as if they've heard it from a secret source

Why the boos and whistles?

**Charlie Darwin** · 30/07/2010, 6:58 PM

Joey Ndo was walking past.

Maybe he is. But even an idiot can see he took it off the Rovers forum which it was posted on the day before.

Erm, because as you can see in this thread lots of LoI fans think this game is ridiculous.

roddy collins in his column in star on sunday today supports that observation. He said the match should have bein a loi select against a Ireland select and he wouldnt be surprised to see a weakened man utd team!

Haven't been on here in a while due to a long drawn out computer malfunction. Anyway all sorted now.
Not that my tuppence is needed but I remember getting my letter from the FAI after posting off the stubs for this and being disgusted at the gall of the FAI for the ticket prices of this.
I'm absolutely loving that this is getting a hard sell now.
80 bills for me and my 9yo brother was what the girl from the ticket office was telling me and then I asked about schoolboy tickets... silly me...

Compare this to last Saturday when it cost 5 quid into Croker for him! As it has been for the whole summer. God bless the season ticket.

No self respecting LOI fan should be going to this barstool convention so delighted the price is so high. same applies to bogball mind you.
