    Fans pushed the kit van a marathon distance today to raise funds for the club. These volunteers never cease to amaze me.

    Their proposed method of dealing with unruly fans fell through because plenty of people in Galway are already stoned

    Emerging that the reason this fell through is that the investors weren't exactly who they said they were,and turned out they were the same group involved in the dodgy investment at Athlone!

    Should be noted the FAI sanctioned both of the investment proposals,due process working well in Abbotstown anyway!!!

    Not saying he's wrong but that's a major story if true, would find it strange one of the big LOI journos wouldn't be all over it. I mean that would be absolutely criminal for the FAI to fall for the same con men twice

    Twice? Look how many times they've elected the same chancers to their own board! Twice is nothing to that shower!

    Well wasn't it the Galway fans who voted to agree the deal?

    Yes but the FB post said after the fans voted on it the FAI sanctioned the deal. I see it's been deleted now.

    The Saudis have reportedly turned their attention to Man Utd now anyway.
    Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
