Fans like this are invaluable to not only the club but the league. I take my hat off to you.

I keep going and I don't even have a club anymore.

You'll come out eventually.

To be fair though Galway and Drogheda are real clubs. Fingal were never a club.

Nothing against the fella himself, indeed Fingal may have been the reason he started going to LOI so for that we can be grateful, but it was just a matter of time with them, just like Dublin City, and just like a couple of present first division sides. Fran Gavin says he hopes the three Galway sides merge, it would be beneficial to all. Why isn't he asking why there was three Galway sides allowed in the LOI in the first place?

This just shows how out of touch Gavin is. Asking those three to amalgamate is the equivalent of asking Bohs, Shels and Pats to do so. Different clubs altogether. As an aside, the three of them wouldn't make up a decent First Division side at the moment.

Mervue are comfortable in mid-table on their own.

Ha...must have been an hallucination on my part, then. Just like Rovers' consistently poor results against Fingal....all just a dream...Ronan Finn was turned into a real player in the Santry Siro...now Rovers are reaping the benefits....but that's just me and the hallucinogenic drugs.

@BShels I have a season ticket for Shels; haven't missed a game. I'm out. But I can't claim to be a fan; not like the lads who've suffered for the club over the past few years.

Dublin could and should be able to support five or six PD clubs.

Yup they are a decent side who have improved over time and are holding their own very well. A club a lot of people should have big respect for.

Finn was a quality player in 2008 for UCD. Rang rings around most of the league back then. I remember clearly him making a fool of a few Cork City midfielders at the time. This was of course when we had bags of money, or someone said we did anyway

Hardly relevant and if anyone at our club had that opinion we'd never have another fan come in because it looks like the suffering is over to an extent under Matthews. From what I've gathered on your posts on other forums (assuming I'm associating you with the right usernames there), you've been at pretty much all our away games too. No need to sell yourself short.
