It will have happened in the Setanta Cup by then anyway though.

Well we got Cork away last year so I wouldn't be surprised if we got Cobh away

Although my official guess would be Monaghan away.

**kevincronin2000** · 15/02/2005, 5:39 PM

away to finn harps

Finn harps -v- Cork city

In the words of Martin Luther King or was that Noel King (unlikely) 'I had a dream'.

Standing at the gates of United Park so we'll be meeting Drogheda United.

(I notice Harpskid hijacked my dream with his prediction)

Yeah. We were away to Kildare.
So we'll probably start at The Showgrounds this time.

**Stevo Da Gull** · 15/02/2005, 6:30 PM

Away to Longford, Res- 1-1. Just a spare of the moment thought

Before sligoman corrects me

again I meant Galway was our first home. Dundalk away was our first game

No we are the north west's finest and always will be

**Maz** · 16/02/2005, 9:45 AM

At home to Waterford!....maybe, Hopefully!

**mypost** · 19/02/2005, 3:20 AM

We'll probably get one of Longford, Drogheda, or Waterford first.

Dear FAI NL fixture computer,

May we have 2 away trips to Finn Harps, Longford, and Bray please?

And just the 1 trip only to Shels, Pats, UCD, Waterford, and especially Cork and Derry, though we'll probably have to travel to at least one of them twice.

Don't mind about the other clubs.

And can you throw in our last game to be at home too? Home advantage may prove decisive in the 33rd league game of the season.

Thanks.

I had a premonition this morning whilst asleep:

Bohemians - Shelbourne
Shamrock Rovers - Cork Village

Are fans gettin fed up with the problems at the club

Sorry -- took my eye off the ball there for a week or two.
I don't think it's finances etc. IMHO most (oops -- nearly said 'real' there) fans go for football and don't want to think about balance sheets, profit and loss, and all that baloney, until we're talking out-and-out bankruptcy or Hoops-like status. Other than members, who are probably going to have to stump up more, only amateur blazers and sad anoraks obsess about accounts.
But numbers went down all right when the mood dipped, and there was a weird vibe. Some of the players deserved a roasting and got it, but it was more than that. Sort of confused, directionless feel that didn't really go away with Kenny. Little empathy between team and support -- at times it felt like we were playing a grudge match with each other! Horrrible.
I think Gareth Farrelly is/could be a really good manager -- tactically, he showed that, and the stats reflect it, but it wasn't a dramatic impact that you could feel in your gut. He doesn't do that Roddy feel-good-for-a-season stuff.
I'm hoping a fresh start. (By all accounts some of our players are fresh from the Rotunda).
