Is there one in the Star today as well? Or have they not bothered doing one?

Agree about the Mirror normally being best for coverage every Friday, btw. They're the only ones who do a pullout section on the league weekly.

There is a pullout in today's Star as well for anyone interested. Just picked it up.

Pat Dolan tipping the Rebel Army as ones to watch.

Yes and should be of interest for followers of Dundalk.

Shame they couldn't get an upo to date copy of the Cork City club crest for their magazine.

Not sure what Kenny is complaining about re: "integrity" of the fixture list. They reversed last season's fixture list, then took what looked the most interesting round and brought it forward to opening weekend.

This comment of Kenny's in the Independent is more interesting.

"I was going to take some time, travel and have a look at teams," he says. "And when Dundalk contacted me, well, there had been talk about their (artificial) pitch over the last few years and the club have maybe gone through a bad time.

"But then I thought,'it's a real football town. It has got great potential and tradition', so I decided, 'f**k the pitch'. And so what if the stadium isn't great? Raw passion is more important than any of that. It's my job to bring that back. To reignite the interest."

Class.

What is Kenny on about "integrity" of the fixture list? Everyone ends up playing each other 3 times over the season.

He's clearly bricking it that he'll be given a roasting tonight by the Rovers fans.
