You only have to check the poll out on our forum to see this. That tit maxi made a lot of our minds up that we just need to forget about the whole thing and move on.

i dont think anyone was genuienely taking it serious

P.S. Since when was Louth a viable county...?

Quite a big chunk of Monaghan was once part of the Kingdom of Oriel with the name Oriel used quite alot in Monaghan such as Oriel Celtic (Football Club Sean McCaffery started his management career with) Oriel Swimming Club (successful Monaghan swiming team) and there was an Oriel House Hotel in Monaghan many moons ago.

At this rate it'll be the Irish League taking over the EL, not the other way around........

Yees might finally get a decent game up there......

Can the Dundalk players enter the pitch next season to the tune of Billy Joel's 'We Didn't start the fire'.....?

t'was good while it lasted...

If you read the guy's two posts he was just having an anti Dublin rant. Since when are the FAI 'the Dublin FAI' or the league a 'Dublin league'?

Just read this now, hilarious!
