What a joke, Dundalk played a quarter final of the major Cup
Competition in Waterford on a Monday night with less than 1,000 people
attending. Why? I hear you ask. The answer–because the tie had to be
re-arranged to allow Waterford pay Hearts Colts on Friday. What a joke.
What a way to treat the League’s most prestigious competition. How can the F.A.I. Cup be treated with so little respect. I am sure the sponsors of the Cup were not
best pleased. But hey it’s run by our
glorious F.AI. it has to be a joke. I’m
sure John Delaney is in his garden laughing his socks off as the F.A.I. lurch
from one farce to another. Only good thing
about it is that Dundalk won.
This leaves Shamrock Rovers, Dundalk and Sligo Rovers through,
to be joined by the winner of Crumlin Utd v Bohs. Again due to the “magnificent” work of the
F.A.I. the draw will be live at 8.30am on RADIO. Most prestigious Cup
competition – I don’t think so
Potentially a great weekend ahead for Shels in the First
Division. Surely the time has come for
them to claim a place in the Premier Division.
Hopefully they will win the match against the Drogs and clinch the
title. I’ll be glued to the phone
looking at their results. I know to my
cost the feeling of Last Match Blues. To
all the people travelling, get behind the team and enjoy the game, if that is
possible.
I see that RTE, our
national broadcaster are now showing a few League of Ireland matches as the
season draws to a close. Well Whoopee
and thanks for that. I don’t know what
they have been doing since May. I understand
the L.O.I. is a niche sport. I understand
that it does not compete with GAA or Rugby as far as viewing figures are
concerned, but Soccer is still the biggest sport played in Ireland and is a
market that can be tapped into. Again it
is up to the F.A.I. to negotiate a deal that includes the L.O.I. when they do a
deal for the International team. But
will it happen, you tell me.
What a debut for Jack Byrne, fantastic performance and
showed what a L.O.I. player is capable of. He looked completely comfortable
playing in the National Team.
Congratulations also to Stephen Kenny on his brilliant start
to the U21 Euro qualifiers, showing that the L.O.I. can produce top class
Managers as well as top class players.
