🍀 I visited Ireland's Oldest Pub & Football Club 🍻

[@davidshekleton6330]

Has to be one of the best vlogs of the season 🔥🔥🔥 love seeing teams outside of the usual 10 and did not disappoint at all. That stand just looks like a top spot to watch a game and being sandwiched in the middle of the two sets of supporters looks like it’d be a top, top spot to go on a Friday night. Have to say on last weeks viewing the gap between premier and first division looks massive😬 UCD were very much a mediocre side aswell. If drogs do end up in that playoff spot I really can’t see them losing. Dundalk on the other hand potentially could but still think they’d be really unlucky to.

Gentleman as always David, appreciate your kind words. I enjoyed filming this one, I have to say. Great spot, I have to say, great atmosphere in terms of vocals and general vibe around the place. I'd recommend giving the place a visit for certain. I mean, Athlone are on poor form and Drogs are on a high, so I think that certainly played a part. You could sense the lack of confidence from the home side, the mistakes etc. Bohs are on a high top and UCD had just lost at The Bowl to the new champions as well, so maybe the wind was taken out of their sails. They had won at The Showgrounds the round before and likewise with Athlone at the RSC. Although I do hear what you are saying and do believe it to a certain degree myself. I think it's Cork for Dundalk and Drogs will stay up.

Good video. Fair play to that little group, they never stopped all,game. Nice little ground.

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

Appreciate it. Yeah they kept going, great to see. Yeah well kept I'd say, lovely town too

[@LindaSabini]

Brilliant video Jack, really informative, actually makes us want to visit. Thanks

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

Thanks as always 👌

[@Beanbag777]

Would be great to see Athlone making a comeback. Mad to think they struggle so much for a club thats that old and with so much history. Well done for visiting them. See you in Galway tomorrow night

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

It really would, a staple in LOI history with a good fan base. A great town too, especially for those looking for a good away day! Thanks, much appreciated, thanks for tuning in and I'm most certainly hoping to be in Galway soon, not to sure it'll be as soon as today mind...

[@Pjvenom1985]

Nice Cup adventure and video Seb, always informative and top notch watch, well played Drogheda unlucky Athlone on the night.🔴⚫️

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

Appreciate it PJ. I wanted to dive into the history of the club a little more than I did but unfortunately time wasn't on my side. Next time perhaps. A great club and a great town 🖤💙

[@Jackfinnegan08]

Class vlog, looks like a really tidy ground in athlone

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

Appreciate it and thanks for tuning in. Yeah a great spot, beautiful town as well

[@Jackfinnegan08]

@@LeagueofIrishBall definitely looks it, great turnout as well

[@slimpetesteam6268]

Enjoyed the vlog. Poor old Athlone, took a bit of a pasting and even had their pyro confiscated!

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

Thanks for tuning in as always. Just lacking a bit of confidence at the minute and Drogheda are on red hot form.

[@adamquinn1544]

You don't great job mate come on the Town Let's get a better result this Friday 🖤💙

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

Really appreciate it. Had a great time, a fantastic club 🖤💙

[@CabOnTarget]

14:02 they shouldn't be letting a young steward go up alone to confiscate a lighted flare. Should be an older more experienced steward accompanied by someone else with a bucket of sand and wearing a pair or heat resistant gloves. And no go walking back down with a lighted flare. Even though it was good spirited it may not always be. Good video and Athlone is a nice spot isnt it, was only there once for a weekend with the lads.

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

I understand completely where you are coming from and I know all you've got to go off is this vlog, but the general mood and atmosphere around the place during the game may make you feel slightly different about the age of the chap. Better safety precautions though no doubt, a bucket of water for sure. Really appreciate it and thanks for tuning in as always! Always appreciate your input 👌 Great spot, thoroughly enjoyed my time in the beautiful town and looking forward to heading back soon hopefully 🤞

[@bohsgerry]

Great team oldest in LOI ground situation ridiculous one lovelty stand and other 3 sides zilch-no idea what council who own the stadium are up to

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

Thanks for tuning in Gerry! Id say it's to save money, building one large stand would cost less than building four smaller ones. It's a great stand though, very comfortable viewing of the game

[@thc9695]

up de town midlands are 🔵⚫

💙🖤

[@waterfordfc_match_reporter]

We should be there😡

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

I think most Athlone fans would agree with me when I see even if Drogs had 10 men from the beginning, they would've beaten Athlone

[@waterfordfc_match_reporter]

@@LeagueofIrishBall I'm waterford fan. I'm saying that we got robbed

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

I know I see. Definitely wasn't a sending off, but a poor performance nonetheless against a side that have only won one in seven games and that was against yourselves. To concede 3 at home is inexcusable

[@waterfordfc_match_reporter]

@@LeagueofIrishBall plus, we should have had a goal in 90+6 i think minutes

[@LeagueofIrishBall]

Definitely a few points of contention, no doubt about it
