Surely has to be ****take

**NeverFeltBetter** · 13/01/2015, 7:02 PM

I would imagine so.

**SeanDMRooney** · 13/01/2015, 7:04 PM

Has since admitted to be just kidding around

**NeverFeltBetter** · 13/01/2015, 7:47 PM

Unless some PD team is found to be willing to support a B side, it really is looking like 7 or nothing.

**SeanDMRooney** · 13/01/2015, 8:27 PM

What about Cabinteely ?

**NeverFeltBetter** · 13/01/2015, 8:33 PM

Well, nothings been said or heard since right?

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 13/01/2015, 8:35 PM

Feck it. Let's put a team together ourselves. Anyone got 19k spare?

**Longfordian** · 13/01/2015, 8:54 PM

Dahamsta makes a fortune off this place I'm sure he'll fund it..

**nigel-harps1954** · 13/01/2015, 9:19 PM

Hauld on there a minute lads...where are we going to play? Will Termonbarry Alberts allow the use of their pitch?

**NeverFeltBetter** · 13/01/2015, 9:26 PM

Thomond Park needs a new part-time tenant.

**Longfordian** · 13/01/2015, 10:08 PM

Roddy has the Phoenix Park sorted if we let him be manager.

If we get a team together it could be cheaper to give up home advantage if say 20% of gate receipts were available. The team could train in the Phoenix Park with Roddy the manager, so mostly Dublin based squad. Could it be done on 80-100k per season? Anyone know of a good fundraiser? maybe the guy who ran Dublin City. It is really important for the league to have 8 teams in division 1.

Ah you're taking the **** now.

Been told Cabinteely are definitely entering. What a joke.

Not as much a joke as having 7 teams in the Division.

Hard to see them making a go of it with Bray and eh... UCD in the same catchment area but it's good to see some clubs with ambition.

I think it really shows that in the League of Ireland office there really is nothing going on - there's no plan of expanding the league or preparing clubs to join League of Ireland - Tralee have finally gained promotion back to the Premier A in Kerry after having left the league to attempt joining LoI - I can't see them rushing back after the way they were treated.

I imagine it involved as much foresight as the decision to upgrade the Holy Stone of Clonrichert to a class 2 relic.

Off topic, but do many remember when there was 2 Limerick teams in the league. It was the time Pat Grace was involved, Billy Hamilton was manager of his team and they played in yellow/green strip. However there was another Limerick for a while and if I recall right they played a game against Bohs at least. The players were a bit shy of having their picture taken and they suffered a heavy defeat at Dalymount.

Anyone know if they played another match? (don't think they played at home, but maybe wrong)
Anyone with info/sources of info on this club; thanks
