Irish Sea FC sounds like some sort of foot.ie prankster challenge ! set up a club and random website that looks likes its from 2000 !

2 Limerick teams given the green light?, hmmmm...

This is really weird.

It looks like a club set up just to try pimp players off to the bigger leagues.

And then you see Aaron Callaghan listed as "Director of Playing Personnel"

No idea what to make of all this, but all my LoI cynicism is screaming out loud inside

I can never really be sure this is a genuine account...but, there ya go.

Seemingly playing as Dublin County FC out of Morton Stadium.

When they were on about splitting up Dublin County I'm not sure they had a split to a different sport in mind.

The weird Ukraine references are.. well, weird.

And they got invited to apply while St Francis didn't.

Makes you wonder.

May be going off original topic by why not let the existing teams that mentioned play in the underage structures? Will give more players a chance to play at a bigger structure. Might be good way to bridge the gap from intermediate to senior of clubs what to try switch? Seems like it’s already happening in Dublin.

Wexford FC now beginning to make player announcements for 2021 which suggests that they're confident of getting the Division 1 licence.

Wexford FC re-sign local striker Kieran Murphy

Were they invited though? What proof do we have other than a post on a twitter account that anyone could have set up?

**pineapple stu** · 09/12/2020, 5:15 PM

Well true. Either would be a proper GLITW moment I guess.

**boynemunich** · 09/12/2020, 5:29 PM

I've heard they've hired Jonathan Gabay head of marketing.

**El-Pietro** · 09/12/2020, 5:38 PM

At this point I'm assuming there there is something nefarious about Irish Sea FC/Dublin County FC. They talk about getting promoted and into Europe in a very short time frame while also talking about running a financially stable club. They don't mention anything about growing their community/fan base so I'm not sure where they expect funding to come from.
They are either extremely naive or they have some sort of ulterior motive that I don't want to get banned for suggesting.

The Twitter exchanges with 'Forgotten Clubs', who is involved with this Irish Sea FC/Dublin County FC craic are glorious. Great reading on a dull Wednesday evening.

He's actually involved with this new club. So it makes it even more fun.

St Francis obviously arent giving up from their statement, would be interesting to see on what basis they were turned down by the FAI as their facilities are better than Cabos.

Pity as last time I was in Baldonnel was in March 2000 .Ground must have come on in leaps and bounds since I was last there.
