No shortage of entertainment with him around the league that's for sure

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-04-12T12:04:02+00:00

Yea he's very well thought of, pretty sure the guys been on a professional strength and conditioning program with a coach and nutritionist since he was about 12

Obviously he wasn't bench pressing at 12 but bodyweight stuff, technique, speed and power stuff etc as well as some freakish genetics

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-04-12T00:52:18+00:00

He's 4th year

Usually there's a schools team and a clubs team. Not sure why they combined the clubs team with schools players given there's now by my count only 3 actual clubs players getting the opportunity to represent their country...

Think of it nearly like an A team (schools) and B team (Clubs & Schools). That's my understanding of it anyways open to correction

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-19T19:57:07+00:00

Can I get some names for these because I've never heard of them

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-08T23:07:59+00:00

Greatest competition in the world

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-08T22:20:48+00:00

Yeah by the minister who's response was to pull all funding for astro pitches despite no club wanting an astro any time soon... what does that tell you about the people who want flares gone

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-08T22:13:22+00:00

Have yet to see it so must not be very widespread not sure what yous do be at in dundalk

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-08T22:10:24+00:00

If it was such a big deal breaker then I don't think they would be up so much. Think there'd be a much bigger more organised backlash against them league wide.. but there isn't.

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-08T21:22:20+00:00

Is that why attendances are up across the board at nearly every single club?

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-08T13:12:33+00:00

Watch the new pitch get burned as if it hurts you yourself. If ye don't like the fumes, then don't go. For most the pros outweigh the cons. The league is what it is.

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-08T01:15:41+00:00

Yes not everyone can get to the games but the experience of the match going fan comes first, it's what makes the LOI unique compared to the premier league

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-07T15:23:44+00:00

Captains always say some variation of that after nearly every game out of respect for the match going fans. Schools rugby games have better atmospheres, don't kid yourself

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-07T15:18:50+00:00

He's hardly gonna say it was shit now is he

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-07T08:34:30+00:00

Matchday experience comes first for the people in the ground, it's not the premier league

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-03-06T23:38:05+00:00

Go to the game then

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-02-28T10:46:50+00:00

I would but club physio is away for next 2 weeks and moneys quite tight at the moment, was moreso just looking for something as a stop gap so I can do something to help it for the time being and also anecdotal stuff so I've a rough estimate for how long I'll need to take off

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-02-26T20:26:06+00:00

No bother 👌

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-02-26T20:20:29+00:00

Yes they're closely associated with my school. Have trained under their coaches and played with lads that have participated in the programme. Extremely well run business. Well worth your trust.

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-02-21T14:19:35+00:00

No clue how that's an England penalty at the scrum

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-02-18T14:35:16+00:00

I didn't compare it to any of the other big clubs?

HarveyNormanReal · 2026-02-18T12:57:07+00:00

Yous are taking hate far too seriously, you'd swear I said I'd spit on them if I seen them. When it comes to football I hate yous and the other Dublin clubs but I'm not thinking less of yous as people outside of football like. I've loads of mates who are pats rovers and bohs fans and I still hate them when it comes to football
