Sunderland plan Irish trip
March 2, 2007
Sunderland have put the finishing touches on plans to visit Ireland for three pre-season friendlies in the summer.
Roy Keane’s Black Cats will take in games against eircom League Premier Division sides Galway United, Bohemians and Cork City in July and August.
By that stage, they hope to be looking forward to a season in the Premiership.
Sunderland currently lie in fourth place in the Championship table, their recent good form earning an underwhelmed Keane the Manager of the Month award on Thursday.
Well, they only played Shamrock Rovers a week (?) ago, so they will probably want fresh opposition.
fair play, you must have been right about Casey so. He'll do a really good job there by the sound of things.
We'll have to make do with Vinny Parkinsons
Bohs are probably looking to step up after hammering the Mighty Aberdeen 0-0
Should be a good game

Think your smilie sums you up. It doesnt matter what you said because as per you are all wrong. The only thing that hurts is your brain. Quinn is a member of Rovers. That's his interest.
We would have had to hire out tolka, pay security, insurance etc etc for a Rovers reserve side to play sundireland. Hardly a big pay day.
Plus as already pointed out we have already played them.
Three questions:
How many Rovers players signed for them?
What's it like to have no manager?
How many years have you spent in the puzzle factory?
KOH
Dalymount was full for the Spurs game a few years back so I'd imagine you'd get a good enough crowd fur Sunderland given the Irish "connection".
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
