    Speaking of the Indian Super League, Berbatov is getting along well with his new manager, David James, it seems.

    Finally getting to a game tonight, the Londonderry element are visiting Tallaght. Should be a decent enough game, very little between them.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will never happen. A stadium on top of a shopping center is a nice idea for a bit of publicity though.

    RTÉ show about 8 and Eir Sport do likewise. They're few and far between once the GAA championships start though.

    Was expecting this to be Bray or Athlone but things are seemingly a mess there. Fingers crossed it opens up two promotion places if they go under.

    No idea, caught me out first watching it live as why Lopes was booked and not Care. It's the first one in the clip is the really bad one though.

    Galway United have called an EGM to see if they'll be sold to some Saudi group.

    https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2018...audi-takeover/

    And Cork City have signed Damien Delaney who should be a help for the early European rounds.
    (And I still don't know why Roma love him so much).

    Stories emerging now that Delaney saved the kid of a Roma director from a serious accident in a hotel earlier this year apparently. Makes more sense now if that's the case.

    Palermo lost in the serie B playoff last night. It didnt help that the Frosinone substitutes were throwing balls onto the field during play in an attempt to stop Palermo attacks.

    So we fired our manager and there's rumors that Scolari might take over (lol). The long story of it is that Kaka will come on as Technical Director, learn under Scolari, then take over as manager in 2019. (these are again wild rumors).

    My friends are basically "oh that'll be perfect blah blah blah" and I'm asking them based on what? Kaka has no experience in that role whatsoever. He has no front office experience to speak of at all. Why would he be good, ya know, as opposed to an experienced technical director not only in football in general but specifically to MLS?

    Well he was world player of the year so clearly he knows how to spot talent!

    Why? Why does winning balon d'or make you a perfect person to spot talent not just in general but for the MLS. Why are we in such a rush to let Kaka learn on the job? Is this not meant to be a proper football club? Don't we care about actually winning and competing?

    And when I bring these things up they say "it's logic bro!". Man what? Then someone said something about Cantona being our new manager as a joke and I said Cantona, another world class player, was technical director for NY Cosmos and got fired 4 years on the job, not elevating their club even in the least bit (and they're basically insolvent now).

    OH well the owner of their club was crazy and blah blah blah. Ok.

    Shit yeah, I actually knew that. Kaka could be class, you'd never know, but I'd tend to be thinking along the lines of Bruh with that one.

    Giggles - Kaka very well could be awesome. I totally see how it COULD work out. But when I'm asking them why being a world class player at some point means you're perfect to be a technical director they just keep spouting how it's "LOGIC!" and ignoring all of my concerns.

    Nevermind our current technical director went and checked every box required last off-season and we were hailed by many publications as having the best off-season out of any MLS club in terms of filling team needs.

    It's just so annoying. They're star fuckers.

    Apparently James O'Connor, formerly of Stoke, Burnley, and Sheffield Wednesday, will be the new manager at Orlando City.

    He played for us some when we were in 2nd division (USL)and won the league last season as a manager of another side.

    Thought maybe you guys had heard of him.

    Along with Darren 'the crab' Potter. He was part of the worst Sheffield wed midfield I've ever watched. Worked damn hard but a distinct lack of quality bless him.

    Fucking shambles yet again as Bray's players have gone on strike and looks like Limerick will follow suit in the next week. Probably going to have 8 teams finishing the Premier Division this season and expunged results messing up the top of the table.

The PFAI have been seeking a meeting with John Delaney for over a year now to discuss matters of importance to the domestic game but he has refused to meet with us. We have had no meeting of any substance with any senior member of FAI management since the women's international team dispute in April 2017.

    Probably since there’s no relegation and DC were like a dozen points off a playoff spot in last place, so might as well go for it

    @bruhnaldo I didn’t realize Kreis had been fired (months ago now). Thoughts on his stint as a whole? I loved him at RSL but it seems like things have gone tits up since.

    First I'd like to say how excruciatingly painful my life is as an Orlando City fan. I mean look at that fucking clip. All this dipshit Will Johnson has to do is dump it into any of the available space. We would've walked it the fuck in, won, collected 3 points down a man, and it could've spurned on the rest of the season.

    Instead, he sees Wayne Rooney, freezes the fuck up, gets dispossessed like a bitch, and Rooney pings one of his generally useless cross field diagonals to an (OFFSIDE!!) streaking player and wins at the fucking death.

    These are things that only happen in FIFA. I hate everything.

    Anyhow, Kreis I felt was hard done by the front office. We finally bring in a good bit of "talent" but our only (useful) striker (Dom Dwyer) is hurt the first 3 games of the year.... so on and so forth, we keep getting hit with the injury bug, at no point was Kreis able to field our "best XI" because of different shit going on... and they shitcan him mid-season.

    Personally, I really thought he deserved to at least finish out the season. One of our "marquee" signings, Justin Meram, basically gave up on the team entirely when he was supposed to be a main cog of our attack. He runs to the local media and starts crying because some 14 year olds called him a cancer patient on twitter, says that maybe the supporters hate him because he's Iraqi (which again, 14 year old "football twitter" shit merchants), and all of this other shit. We end up having to ship him back where we got him at a loss of 250k (1/4th of the original fee).

    So no, I don't think Kreis got a fair shake. I think our front office is beyond incapable and will be the detriment of this club for many years to come. Regardless, my job is to go into the terraces and sing for 90 minutes and try to push the lads on. Hopefully that'll pay off one day but it's starting to seem more and more like we'll be a club mired in mediocrity.

    I can only hope that the people in our supporter groups that contribute the most to the atmosphere remain steadfast and don't fall off like other Orlando/Florida area teams do when their teams aren't winning.

    Sorry for the rant.
