    Dublin city friendly?

    was at home having a bit of grub watching skysports news. On the ticker tape at the bottom they were listing preseason friendlies and I saw that Dublin City V Dundee Utd........is this correct...thought Dublin City were gone completely

    On their website, they're playing Dublin University College. Their fans are going to get completely confused going to this one!

    "Dublin University" is a title Trinity uses. This could be awkward.

    To confuse matters more DUFC is the name of the rugby team in Trinity, while DUAFC is the name of the football team.

    That was the Millwall game. UCD just beat Dundee United 2-1.

    Faith is over-rated.

    Even Sky Sports had it on their ticket afterwards that Dublin City had beaten Dundee United 2-1.

    Worth pondering though. We can lose to Monaghan and Wexford and beat Dundee United without our captain, longest serving player and an Ireland U-21 international? Friendly or not, that's our best result in a long time (which admittedly says much about our current season)

    Firstly - what were you expecting from this game financially ? Seriously ? And then what happened so that it didn't meet your lofty fiscal expectations ?

    Secondly - what about any Milwall fans who have time and flights booked to take in this match ? Is it alright to p!ss about with their money at shot notice ?

    My local paper (South London Press) will doubtless have a field day ripping the p!ss out of UCD over this. Amateur club....

    Have a wild guess what "money" implies... Our "lofty fiscal expectations" were to break even from the game, and it became apparent that wasn't going to happen.

    I couldn't give a toss what the South London Press has to say about us.
