Longford forced to wear Athlones socks last night as Athlone didn't have a second kit on hand to change into as referee was unhappy with colours clashing
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Aren't kitmen supposed to contact each other in advance to organise what kit each team are planning on bringing to avoid a clash? I can understand this happening when you've buttimer getting upset over something nobody else would think of like sleeves or something but with socks? Cmon lads really?
It's only a matter of time before someone in the First Division has to play a match in skins.

Must have helped Longford so. Those were Athlone's lucky socks. It is all downhill from here for Athlone.
Dundalk have a new charity tie-in third kit, which is all very commendable. Pity the kit is absolutely hideous though.

I heard the kit had a very high opinion of itself. Certainly the first kit wouldn't be the same without it, and it might even get to be the national team kit soon
Wasted as Irish national kit, should be France or maybe Germany as they are improving.
The first kit is just the face of the club, the real expertise and skill is in the 3rd strip
There is a top class Paeds Department in OLOL , which I would say could do with some support from the biggest town in the North East. Drumcar badly needs support as do CAMH and ambulance services in Co Louth.
First the link with Malahide United and now the link to a Dublin hospital,! great sense of community or what?
The link with Malahide was strategic.
There are so many great causes in the world and they can't all benefit. I don't know why Temple St was chosen but usually there is some connection such as someone (or multiple peoples) children getting treated there.
It seems like people want to knock the link up for the sake of knocking it, not because of a good reason.
Questioning it because of the tangential connection between your community and a charity relatively unrelated to that community.Am all for clubs linking up with charities,Derry did it with their first team shirt 're local addiction services,Bohs and Rovers did it on the pink jersey derby games for cancer.
Granted , neither of those have the "aww" factor of a children's hospital.
BTW Chidrens (national) neurosurgical services in Beaumont are currently fundraising for a parents waiting room in the hospital, deatails from Beaumont Foundation.
I'd be quite sure that a large portion of Dundalks population had at least one relative treated in Temple Street. Personally I have had three in the last few years and all live in Dundalk. Temple St is by all means a national childrens hospital and it is the closest one for people travelling from Dundalk.
As for Beaumont....as I said earlier, often charities are chosen due to the people organising the fundraising having a direct connection with them. A lot of the players and people associated with the club have children and no doubt a number of them were treated by Temple St. It is usually the first port of call when children are referred from doctors and the Louth County hospital (which has had services slashed over the years). It is very possible that there was no direct connection with Beaumont.
By all means, fundraise for Beaumont yourself if you feel such a connection but don't expect others to fundraise for them when there are other charities closer to heart.
