The off-season has come.
Those released from LOI "Academies" are often lost in the shuffle and see themselves falling away from football.
We don't want this.
So if you're a player/parent of a player and are potentially being released
DM us and we will try and help you!
Just a few minutes ago the members of the FAI overwhelmingly (89%) backed our motion to instruct UEFA to immediately suspend the Israeli FA from all UEFA competitions.
No nation is above rules.
Well done to all from across Irish football who backed the motion and the vote.
👏🏻
@DeanGimes @seannieb84 @IrelandFootball But the I agree Johnston seeks to always get a raw deal, deserves to start at least these kind of games to show he can make the difference in tight spaces
@DeanGimes @seannieb84 @IrelandFootball Yeah I think if they set up that way it’s not bad at all.
Plenty of attacking options on the pitch and solid base if the lads do their job 😅

The last few months for Irish football:
- Sacked Stephen Kenny last November
- FAI takes 7 months to find replacement
- 4 friendlies in that time for John O’Shea to audition for the job
- End up hiring their “first-choice” manager who happens to be a dentist
- Heimir decides he doesn’t know enough about the players so doesn’t pick squad/team or do all the press conferences
- 0 goals in 180 minutes
- 4 goals conceded
- No clear structure on pitch
- Facing Nations League relegation
- Can only buy tickets in three-match bundles
Meanwhile, the League of Ireland champions get just over €100k for winning it. They also rely on European revenue where games don’t even get shown on Irish TV. Only country in Europe that happens in.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the FAI have well and truly failed Irish football.
What a mess.
Give these men their flowers!🌹
An unbelievable night for Irish football which would never of been possible without the work these two men put in with their coaching staffs preparing the players to face opposition with squads worth millions more.
- Celje’s squad is worth €13.26 million compared to Shamrock Rovers squad being worth €3.93 million
- Sabah’s squad is worth €11.93 million whilst St Pats’s squad is only worth €3.95 million.
🚨 Arsenal have completed the signing of 16-year-old Ceadach O’Neill from Linfield on scholarship terms. O’Neill, who can play as a winger or an attacking midfielder, will sign a three-year professional contract when he turns 17 in April 2025. ✅ [@jeorgebird] #afc
