We in the business call that peer learning.
Peer learning is a lot catchier than "stating the bleeding obvious" , I suppose.
You did bring the subject up in fairness. Its an amusing quirk of LoI history that will never die - along with double contracts, asterisks, no direct bus routes, Cork dont tackle, Mad American owners, Sean Connors Dundalk side, Bob Marley and a host of other greatest moments!
The expression was used as a joke, I thought selling anything twice was a self evident association, like plastic bucket collection for example, but now it has been triple explained, I feel queasy from the excess irony.
Explaining. running with the joke. or agreeing that it is shorthand along with many other great moments that have you look back and laugh at while shaking the head. St Pats and FAI Cup is probably the only one that got scrubbed!
Making the same joke twice was a meta-joke.
Bohs fans will be Dreading that!
Surprised that this hasnt been mentioned unless I missed it. Dundalk supposedly adding Wilifred Zahibo to the squad. Formerly on the books of Valencia and was in the 2018 MLS All-Star team. 27 so decent age and French born so helps with visas Im sure. From clips shared he could be a real star in the league if there isnt any catch like him being crocked.
Always tends to be with a player like that coming to this league. It’s like buying a Teamaster there is always some sort of a catch.
Yeah, 100 percent. You would think too that he would be able to get a contract with one or two other professional teams in America (MLS or USL) if he was in the all-star team only 3 years ago. Seemed to be rated enough, going on Reddit, but a bit 'lax' defending. Maybe he isnt allowed to stay in America anymore, and Dundalk is the best european option......
Nathan Oduwa MkII. Or he could be that once in a generation gem like a Joey N'Do. Or we have crazy American owners with pretty deep pockets and some soccer contacts like our Tea Lady masquerading as a coach and that could yet turn out to be an excellent coach, judge of player and future manager of Dundalk FC that was demoted from head coach after winning the cup, getting to EL groups, qualifying for Europe, while getting a 3 match touchline ban for coaching at a level that wasnt allowed, so a pro license holder who has been relegated twice and wasnt actually coaching at the club has been promoted to manager where the buck stops with him no matter how good the 'cups of tea' are. All at a time when there are legitimate reasons for nobody being at LoI games and every pub in Ireland is closed on St Patrick's Day. Crazy times indeed!!!
Derry City goalkeeper Nathan Gartside has just been called up to the senior Northern Ireland squad for next weeks world cup qualifiers.

Pretty bizarre given he's 23 years old and only has 3 League of Ireland appearances to his name.
That makes it 4 players from the league involved in the World Cup qualifiers next week alongside Nattestad with Faroe Islands, Jurkovskis with Latvia and Roberto Lopes with Cape Verde good to see

I think Derry can ask for a postponement because its northern Ireland.....
They’d have to have a second player called up to be able to postpone their game (this can include underage internationals)
Interestingly the rule only comes into play for clubs missing 2 or more Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland internationals but no other countries. Dundalk's game against Finn Harps will go ahead as a result even though they’ll be without the 2 players mentioned above and also possibly Abibi who is reportedly in with a shout of being included in the Albania squad

They can call off the game if a keeper is called up, even if it’s only one player, as it’s a specialised position, so I’d imagine the Derry Rovers game will be postponed.
Did not know that. bit like a front row in the egg chasing game.
If you dont have a front row on the bench and one of your starting front rows is injured you go to uncontested scrums.
Troy Parrot, a striker, only scored 1 club goal in League 1 and is in our senior panel.....

I see your point but a 23 year old that has spent 99% of the last last 3/4 years playing in the Ulster Senior League is quite different to a 19 year old training and playing in the Premier League/Championship/League One off the back of a prolific youth team breakthrough at club and international level

Has Bill literally just gone and signed another bloke named Han because he couldn't get the work permit for Han Eui-gwon??The quotes from Magilton about expanding the brand in Asia are like something from a comedy sketch!
