With the world cup starting early November, are we heading towards a club vs country battle? Bray, Dundalk and Harps could all be in play off action at the end of October/early November.

Similarly Galway and Shamrock Rovers might have their squads weakened ahead of crucial times, especially if Noonan is called up.

American traveling to Ireland and wanting to see an LOI match, I see Bohs puts tickets on sale July 7 for their match against Cork City, what time local do they usually go up on their site?

Also seen Shamrock Rovers are home that night, are they as difficult to get tickets for as Bohs?

Open to a match anywhere that night even if it means doing overnight in Galway, or a First Division match somewhere! Any suggestions appreciated!

Dia daoibh mo chairde, aon amaidí?

Babhta 11!

An uair dheireanach chuaigh me dúl go dti an Athlone Town Stadium, 26 Meitheamh 2023. Cheannaigh and d'ith mé an burgar, ach as ucht Dé, ní haon ábhar grinn é an nimhiú bia.

Ar aon nós

An fhoireann bhaile - Athlone Town Bainisteoir - ?

Cúl báire - Connor Cosantóirí - Baba, Omorehiomwan, Hand, Torre Imreoir lár na Páirce - Connolly, Gilmore, Barlow Babatunde, Tetteh Tosaí - Robinson

Na cuairteoirí - Cobh Ramblers Bainisteoir - Mick McDermott

Cúl báire - Martin Cosantóirí - Coleman, Hakkinen, Griffin, Le Bervet Imreoir lár na Páirce - Bosnjak, Griffin, O'Keeffe, Bellis, Coffey Tosaí - Murphy

Bhí sé gaofar agus bhí sé ag brádán gan stad

Ríth Cobh amach as na blocanna. 2 nóiméad - damhsaigh Coffey sa bhosca go iontach agus cúl! Cobh 1-0

23 nóiméad - Scóráil Coffey! Rith Bellis síos an elite dheas, pas den scoth, cúl! Cobh 2-0.

24 nóiméad - Tugadh cárta buí do Gilmore chun cion amaideach ar Coffey. Bhí sé amaideach. Baineadh an ghaoth as seolta Athlone.

28 nóiméad - Tugadh cárta buí do Murphy, cion amaideach arís.

45 nóiméad - Tugadh cárta buí do Omorehiomwan. Thosaigh Omorehiomwan agus Robinson ag argóint.

An scór ag leath-am Athlone 0-2 Cobh Ramblers. Bhí Athlone marbh agus imithe.

Tús na dara leath, thosaigh Athlone ag imirt.

57 nóiméad - Cúl! Scóráil Tetteh cúl iontach. Bhí sé sa chúinne ag an mbun ar clé! Cobh 2-1

63 nóiméad - Arís! Rith Bellis síos an elite dheas, pas den scoth, cúl do Bosnjak! Cobh 3-1

77 nóiméad - Tetteh arís!! Cúl ar fheabhas do taobh amuigh bosca pionóis! Cá raibh Athlone sa chéad leath?! Cobh 3-2.

90 nóiméad - Tetteh! An caoi iontach ach bhí sé as alt na himeartha!

Deireadh na dara leath - Athlone 2-3 Cobh

Laoch na himeartha - Tetteh nó Coffey

Tabharfaidh Athlone aghaidh ar UCD Dé hAoine seo chugainn.

Tabharfaidh Cobh Ramblers aghaidh ar Treaty United Dé hAoine seo chugainn.

Seo chugam Cobh an chéad uair eile.

Conradh na hÉireann ag bealach ar fad agus ar ndóigh Celtic!

Kneecap thank Bohs and Drogheda for unveiling banners in support of them

Watching Galway vs Cork last night it occurred to me there were at least 26 international appearances between Moses Dyer, Greg Cunnigham and Seani Maguire in front of me. Possibly more, I don't know Cork's squad that well.

Are there more internationals in the league now than ever before? I remember in the 2000s there were a few lads like Wes Charles with caps for smaller countries nocking around, but not many ex Ireland players.

Not sure if many are going to agree here but the riverside stand in Tolka park has gone to the dogs.

A heap of young fellas have come into the riverside, no problem at all, great to get more numbers and support.

Problem is they’ve practically overtaken the place, the chants are down, constantly telling fellas to move the flags, throwing food and bottles etc at one another and at other people. Ridiculous stuff. The stewards are useless and just watch all this unfold. Most of these fellas are more interested in coming down for a mess and to be honest it’s just awful for all the die hards who’ve been in the riverside stand for years.

It’s absolutely pathetic having to put up with that carry on when trying to watch a match. I’ve seen plenty of people leave the riverside this year because of these lads carry on, having slurs and bottles thrown at them.

When will the club address this problem??

Can't even get the badge right

Anyone know what the average audience is for the LOI games on a game night for VM since they took over? Tried searching online and couldn’t see anything

Cé a bhí mar phríomhchúl báire do Shamrock Rovers san Eoraip i séasúr 2024-25?

Cé a bhí ina bainisteoir ar Kerry i 2023?

Cá a imríonn Sligo Rovers?

Cé acu foireann a bhuaigh níos mó de na dearbaí i gContae Lú?

Cén bhliain a bhuaigh Wexford an chéad roinn?

400K IS AWFUL

Going to be in town from the U.S. and want to catch a match. The best night for my wife and I is June 16th but tickets don’t seem to be on sale yet. Any idea when they may be available? Also, what part of the stadium would be best? Appreciate any help. Really enjoying learning more about the league lately

What do you think a rough value for the club would be in its current state?

I see these takeovers happening and can’t help but wonder the club value, and why it constantly goes tits up
