Ah it's an absolute joke, but the fact is there are tens of thousands more Liverpool fans in Waterford than Waterford fans in Waterford. I don't care cos they're basically paying for me to watch the Blues for the rest of the season!

yep - Burke got the equaliser. We played very well in the 2nd half apparently and could have snatched it. Superior fitness told more than anything, i suppose.

Steve Staunton, Ian Foster, Tom McNulty and Tommy McConville at a press conference in Dundalk today promoting the Legends match between Dundalk and Liverpool on Saturday July 23.

While the Liverpool team will have some big names from the past in addition to Steve Staunton, like Ronnie Whelan, John Aldridge, Jason McAteer, Phil Babb and Michael Thomas, for me the attraction is to see some true League of Ireland legends return to Oriel Park. It will be a real pleasure to see guys like Martin Lawlor, Tom McNulty, Terry Eviston, Alan O'Neill and Brian Byrne return.

For anyone chasing a bit of nostalga and good craic it kicks off at 3.30pm with adults €10 and kids €5. There is also the option of a Gala Dinner that evening at €50 a pop or you can have the full monty with hotel accommodation, match ticket and gala dinner at €100. All the Dundalk & Liverpool legends are staying in the hotel and it should be a great day and night.

Pats pulled out due to their European commitments so Bangor Celtic are filling the void. The game to be played in the Iveagh Grounds.

UCD beating Villareal 3-2?

Anyone know anything about that?

**SkStu** · 16/07/2011, 8:32 PM

UCD gave away 2000 free tickets for it. Truth. Good idea too.

**BonnieShels** · 16/07/2011, 8:38 PM

Mate just told me 4-3.

**pineapple stu** · 16/07/2011, 8:41 PM

Nah, the free tickets were rescinded. Dunno what happened, but ended up looking fairly bad for us. Someone fecked up, I think. There were about 700 at it; lots of Spanish students.

We won 4-3 in the end. Amazing stuff. Their keepers flapped at four crosses and we scored four times. We played really well though and deserved the win. So this year, we've beaten Galway and Drogheda (duh), the league leaders and now a Champions' League team. Don't do middle ground, us!

oh right - i hadnt heard about the rescission. Who and what was the objection i wonder??? Seemed like a perfectly good idea to me. Congrats on the win in Europe by the way - always nice!

**pineapple stu** · 16/07/2011, 8:53 PM

Dunno; maybe Platinum 1 were setting the price and objected. Or maybe free tickets were never the plan and someone sent that out in error. Either way, I don't care!

who scored the goals? what kinda team did Villareal play? Heard they had a full squad, barring Rossi.

**bullit** · 16/07/2011, 10:12 PM

Anyone know the score from the Cork V Brummy friendly ??

Dunno who got theirs; didn't hear. Capdevilla played the first half; Senna and Nilmar played the second. Didn't really recognise many of the names tbh, but I think a full squad was expected. They maybe had a mix of first team and stiffs in each half.

O'Conor, Leahy, Boyle and AN Other scored for us (apparently an own goal, but there's no ogs at UCD games). Their first was a ridiculous deflection. One of the other two was a super goal after the lad kept going despite being tackled at least three times. Hope to get highlights at some stage.
