As part of there England trip at the weekend the U12s played Liverpool FCs academy. They lost in a close exciting game but nonetheless it was an amazing experience for the players 🙌

Our U12 boys played Wolves FC in a friendly on Saturday morning as part of our England trip . They played Wolves FC in a thrilling match with the final score being 4-3. Great outing for the lads gaining excellent experiences and memories for life 🙌 A massive thank you to LLS Tours for giving the boys a unique and memorable experience, especially Ste, Harvey and Robbie who looked after them so well!

Our U12s have had a jam packed first 2 days of their trip with @LLSYourTour On Friday they toured the Etihad, had a session with a Liverpool coach and a seminar with a Liverpool scout. Here are some pictures from the first half of their trip 📸

@htomufc Spot on.

Bit shocked by how much this has dominated the narrative of the game last night. I thought it was a proper game of football - shithousery, goals, gamesmanship and a high-quality game. Bernardo kicked MLS when he was down on the floor but Gabriel can't celebrate in front of someone? Weird. It's top-level Premier League football between two teams that have battled each other for a few years, it's to be expected and it's bloody entertaining. In my opinion anyway.

@RTEsport 2023 passing statistics for the PL. Also ranks highly for progressive passes across Europe. Poor analysis as we’ve come to expect this tournament.

@DDSL_Official @crumlinunited @stkevinsfc @StFrancisFC @BaldoyleUtd @ShelsAcademy @Ferguson5Barry @BelvedereFCDub @Q102FeelGood @GreystonesUtd @SFIsupplement Congrats to all selected, interesting to see just 1 player from Sun Div 1 in St Mochtas, despite Mt Merrion being the best team in Ire by winning the SFAI cup, (beating Kevin's 4-0 who have 5 players) and Clontarf who got to the SFAI semi final.

Any idea what’s going on here ??

@Georgedowner20 @richie_fitz1 @FAICoachEd 👏

Great to receive my UFEA B certificate in what has been a long journey starting in January. I want to thank @richie_fitz1 and all of the tutors at @FAICoachEd for their mentoring throughout the process. #LifeLongLearning

Stephen Kenny tonight has said “there’s been no greater honour” and any job from now on is a “step down”. As he looks set not to be offered a new contract by the FAI following months of intense speculation. I’ve backed Kenny and defended pretty much to the end. I’ll never make an apology for that, nor will I ever succumb myself to having an opinion just to be popular or for Social Media clout. That’ll never be me and if I get less “likes” for it I couldn’t give a flying shite. His time is seemingly up now, but that is the nature of competitive football. Some coaches are gone after 17 games (Steve Staunton) some coaches are gone after 93 games (Jack Charlton), but all managerial roles are destined to end at some point. As a massive Irish Fan my short 25 year life, supported my country through the worst of times narrow wins against San Marino, hammerings against Cyprus so on and so forth. I got used to multiple managers like Trappatoni say “we don’t have the players”, “there is no league in Ireland” and continually fall out with players and refuse to cap players in a self fulfilling self assassination attempts by so called “experienced heads” Kenny was a refreshing change, he never complained about the players at his disposal, he came with a positive vision for Irish Football something we’ve never seen. The plan was brilliant the execution was not so good but that’s okay, he tried and he failed that’s all there is to be said. What grinds are the people who described the appointment of Kenny as an act of “tokenism”.  Do. Me. .A. Favour. Kenny got the Ireland job on merit; he revolutionised Irish Football most notably for his achievements transforming a Dundalk side on the brink of financial ruin to one which trailblazed in Europe, broke the glass ceiling and dominated the League of Ireland before he transitioned to Ireland U21 Manager. Just because it didn’t work out in the end, doesn’t mean it wasn’t the right direction to pursue (and something I hope we can consolidate and build on now) with the next appointment crucial for Irish Football. At the end of the day Kenny’s biggest “crime” is not being good enough to achieve what he wanted in his dream job. That’s it nothing more nothing less really These baboons who suggest that Kenny should’ve never received the job are delusional and completely lacking of any respect or understanding of nuance. He hasn’t set the country back like the Twitterati are suggesting and he did not deserve anything like the vitriolic hatred and abuse these last few months nor did he deserve boos tonight. Because of Kenny, the 24 players he has brought in and the vision for Irish Football he has shown us i fundamentally believe he has steered us in the right direction to move forward again for an incredibly bright future for Irish Football. History will be kind to you Kenny💚

Cracking match @SFAIreland Subway u14 Cup @stmochtasfc vs @mountmerrion. Best of luck to hosts in next round ⚽️🌞
