I hate when people do that , Billy Davies did all the time aswell.
One of the most entertaining aspects of games at League of Ireland venues especially if the advice is acted upon. Mick Cooke screaming for a penalty in Gortakeegan when Monaghan manager...plenty of advice of what he should do with his claims to which he turned round a replied "You never f*cking know in this league"! or Sean McCaffrey inviting a fan over the wall during a game in Oriel to sort out their differences - I presume he opted against hopping (sorry...) over the wall to the fans himself. I'm sure Adams will have more than a few comedians within earshot over the next few months.
We played Cardiff two years in a row I think not sure about Brighton.
I'd actually forgotten (or maybe didn't know) that until the other day. I was at a game against Cardiff in the Rugby Club in 2000 and then on Facebook the other day I saw the cover of the programme for the Brighton game in '01 and it had a picture of the team that played Cardiff the previous Monday. I was away on a J1 and the Brighton abandonment was big news over there.*
*it made The Star I think which I was able to get the next day over there.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I was sat in the stand in Flancare for that 'friendly'. I remember Murphy and Oates heading over to where the corner gate is now for the astro turfs as that was where the exit out to the dressing rooms were in the middle of the car park! All of a sudden the two boys started at it again and both teams and subs sprinted over, either to get a slap or calm matters down! Brighton got the bus driver to reverse the bus so as the back door of the bus was in line with the door of the dressing room so they could escape from the blood thirsty Town supporters, of whom I was one! A great day!!
Chris Hughton would never let his Brighton and Hove side behave in such a way! Adams siege mentality obviously spilled over in to preseason friendlys. So could be an interesting last round for Sligo and looking forward to it!
An in-depth piece on the career of Micky Adams, whose autobiography is to be released on Friday: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...y-manager.html
The following (absolutely crazy) story from his time as Sligo boss stood out in particular:

It's far from brilliant. If true it makes a mockery of the league and a big laugh in from Adams looking back. I'd be horrified if I was a Sligo fan about that incident. Mickey Adams, more like Mickey Mouse stuff.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
No one is horrified about it
What about Balotelli throwing darts out the window at Man City at academy players or a Chelsea player firing a pellet gun. Did that make the premiership a mockery? This was a brilliant story
