Did they cancel Shels cos they got a game with Rovers yeah?

Hard to know from the article if they just decided to play a game less or if they got an offer from Rovers and though it would be of more benefit. Either way it's strange to only announce a friendly and then cancel it the next day, maybe Shels just jumped the gun a little.

There's been nothing from Rovers so far so it's hard to know what's going on.

**brendy_�ire** · 21/06/2010, 4:31 PM

We're playing St Mirren in the Brandywell on 1st August. They're also playing Ballymena and Glenavon.

I would think there are more Port Vale fans in Ireland than fans of Mervue United.

Agreed! They'll be bringing their 3D glasses with them to the Aviva.

Reminds me of a time many years ago when I was selling programmes at a Dundalk v Celtic friendly. I said a very cheery 'Welcome to Ireland' to anyone wearing a Celtic jersey. (For a while. Then the threats started.)

**DeNiro** · 09/07/2010, 4:44 PM

According to extratime.ie Villarreal will play Athlone on 24 July.
