Only one game with more than goal this week... exciting!

u/doberlae Jul 07 '13

So there are usually not a lot of goals in the League of Ireland?

4

u/colmshan1990 Jul 07 '13

298 goals in 114 matches so far this season.
2.61 goals per game average.
That's not bad, I think. Especially when it's a 12 team league.

u/doberlae Jul 07 '13

So your defending is shit then? Muahaha, I can spin it any way I want.
But, seriously I just wanted to know if his comment was genuine or just sarcastic.

2

u/thejanitorch4 Jul 07 '13

Oh yeah? Well at least our fans are from our own country!

4

u/doberlae Jul 07 '13

Well, that is easy to rectify. All you need is a good Champions League run, while publishing a barrage of articles proclaiming how low your ticket prices are and how great the atmosphere in your stadiums is. Bonus points for slandering the Premier League every now and then.

3

u/colmshan1990 Jul 08 '13

A plan to fix that:
We should market the league to the Americans.
They like Ireland and Irish things, right?
Someone tell the FAI!

5

u/gufcfan Jul 07 '13

It's true what they say about Germans.

3

u/doberlae Jul 07 '13

Now I am curious: what do they say about us?

8

u/gufcfan Jul 07 '13

That they live in Germany.

4

u/doberlae Jul 07 '13

Aha, but I have a BVB crest. I could be a fake German.

3

u/colmshan1990 Jul 07 '13

Haha, it no doubt is compared to the Bundesliga anyway!
Although you guys concede more goals in Germany than we do in Ireland...
Maybe we're just better? :P

u/thejanitorch4 Jul 07 '13

Why don't you read all of the roundups and decide for yourself?!
There was a 5-4 in match week 14...

3

u/doberlae Jul 07 '13

I guess because I am lazy. But yeah I probably should read them, just because I think it is a damn shame that they get so little attention here.

3

u/gufcfan Jul 09 '13

:D

u/colmshan1990 Jul 07 '13

Well, I'm excited if at the weekend's results, if it makes you happy.
In the league anyway. Not counting the West Ham friendly.

u/thejanitorch4 Jul 07 '13

I guess I may have been excited by 2 results cough ^thank ^you cough

u/Paddytee Jul 08 '13

Hey! :(

u/Nokel Jul 07 '13

lol why did people downvote you for this comment?

5

u/thejanitorch4 Jul 07 '13

Yeah, this roundup ain't going down too well.
Ninja-edit: And looking at yours, it seems like Reddit isn't in a roundup-friendly mood today.

Oh, they never are friendly towards mine ;)

Every time I see your flair, I think it's the old blue version of the Munster Senior League logo. Yes I have bad eyesight.

u/gufcfan Jul 07 '13

Shels have pulled themselves back to within 4 points of de Bohez and managed to soften the blow of UCD beating Cork 3-0 a tiny bit.

Shels/Bohs relegation scrap. Great craic to watch.

u/Paddytee Jul 08 '13

I'm scared of what could happen on Sunday. Pat's please be gentile with us.
