Yeah league of Ireland is really underfunded and they can’t keep any talent if they manage to produce it because every kid here who plays football wants to be scouted for a premier league team.

[@stuntpeggnieve]

It is a shame. But there’s still a lot of fun in the Irish league, and Rovers regularly show a good account of themselves in Europe. Lots to be proud of.

[@chopperbyrne]

@@stuntpeggnieve Irish League is Northern Ireland. League of Ireland is Republic (and Derry. It's complicated)

[@techheadz00]

Premier League teams can’t sign Irish players before they turn 18 now, thanks Brexit!

[@kaspercederlund4393]

That's the reality of leagues outside of the top 5-7 leagues. Same here in Sweden; most of the talents want to play outside in Europe's bigger clubs

[@EmmetRyan]

Thanks so much for coming to UCD and featuring us.

[@ucdfans3376]

Emmet, that was a great on-the-spot presentation, Stephen

[@TheMarslMcFly]

That's really charming! The other day I learned of Loughgall FC from Northern Ireland. They're a Club from a tiny village, according to Wikipedia they had a population of not even 300 people at the last census in 2011. Last season they got promoted to the top flight for the first time since 2007, which also makes them the smallest place in Europe to have a 1st Division Football Club. I bet that would be a fun little trip for you! :D

Always nice to see a new video from StuntPegg. I'd love her to do something related to the Faroe Islands - Klaksvik are having an amazing season in Europe, making history.

[@stuntpeggnieve]

Funnily enough I’ve recently been looking into the best routes to the Faroe Islands, it’s definitely a place I’d like to visit this season. (And thank you!)

[@BrianS5588]

SteveMarsh on youtube recently went to the Faroe Islands and his videos are full of information on the journey there by air as well as around the islands, I think he even passed by the football stadium as well, but they are really informative videos from another great KZbinr. They went online 3 months ago.@@stuntpeggnieve

I didn't expect to hear my voice in the intro of this video when it showed up on my KZbin recommended! Amazing work telling the story of UCD and documenting the matchday experience.

[@stuntpeggnieve]

Hey! Thank you very much. Really enjoy your videos!

[@sparkidee]

Love this! Looks like a great close knit team. Big shout to Emmet a true fan who's volunteered for 23 years helping the club what a legend! Reminds me of my local non league sides.

[@malahammer]

Non league and smaller clubs could not exist without volunteers. I coached my 4 lads, at different times, over 17 years when they were in school. I've done my time and loved it :)

[@Alan-tu5uj]

As a French (no need to say it but i have to lol) I discovered your channel with the Lyon’s game and I love it, the way you show that there is so much life around football, so much « normal » people and not only superstars. I want to suggest you to watch a french-speaking belgian show about a ancient pro-footballer coaching the worst team of belgium. It’s really funny and interesting, it’s called « Les heros du gazon » (« grass heroes » I guess) but unfortunately I dont think there are any subtitles 😢

[@dazlebluefrogify]

[@hanniteMeister]

i mostly live alone, as in, not having friends, to roam around with. but, watching your videos regarding football from different parts of the world makes me spend at least 30 mins every day to think and dream about everything I'd do if i were there. we never realise to what all audience our content can cater to. do go to spain some day, i am a culer. you make amazing content, never stop and never pivot. cheers.

[@CheekandBluster]

Really enjoyed this. I've been to college soccer matches here in the U.S. that looked very similar to that spectator experience. Without the Irish local charm, though. UCD may be crap on FIFA, but I'll say this: I think their logo and kit colors are class. Well done, Nieve, keep doing what you do!

[@AAlion15]

Charming video. Love these style vids. Keep up the great work and I hope your channel keeps growing

[@pauldavenport9427]

Loved this.👏 Not scrolled through all the comments so it may have been said already but the nearest modern equivalent in England was Team Bath, who made it to the first round proper of the FA Cup about twenty years ago. IMHO got stitched up by the non-league authorities for financial reasons (not irregularities) and disbanded a few years later.

[@tristantristan4733]

That’s what I do like about games in Australia Rules Football (AFL ) all the fans from opposition teams just mingle. You yell and scream in the stadium, but then everyone walks out together and gets on the same trains. The soccer (football) is pretty similar.

[@higherorlowergame]

Love this, great concept. Football isn't just about the top divisions. The real beauty is much lower down the pyramids.

[@BrianS5588]

Well that settles who I will be supporting in Ireland from now on! Just a great video again Neive! Ah yes, and the mayonnaise highlight! And the comment about your lovely accent. And the attitude of everyone there. I have only been to Ireland once but I recall seeing a mental health sign at a railway station reminding you that you are never more than 3 days away from a weekend...well it just says "why am I not living here?"

[@aarondolan]

In a world where footballers have become superstars, it's a breath of fresh air to watch some real football in the LOI. But Irish football will never develop until Irish people start supporting their local teams rather than Liverpool and United. Thanks for showing what our league is actually like!

[@PeyoteCoyote97]

Many support Celtic

[@MihailBFC]

they need money invested, and the suporters will come.

[@terex9]

We have our own gaelic sports and rugby that people watch instead.

[@aarondolan]

@MihailBFC It's a catch-22. No one will invest because people don't watch it and people don't watch it because there has been no investment...

[@mickd9398]

@@terex9 It helps that the GAA and rugby teams are tied into preexisting Irish regions and identities. LOI teams are quite random in comparison.

Just come back from Ireland. Watched Drogheda v Bohemians in Irish Cup a great atmosphere under the lights , Glentoran v Dungannon Swifts nice ground but a 0-0 albeit lots of chsnces , Crusaders v Cliftonville which finished 0-3 and to round off a trip to Dublin to watch St Patricks Athletic v Dundalk which was again a great game . Definitely going back the atmosphere the fans generate is much better than England and that includes the lower tiers . Irish football North or in the Republic is just less commercial and less expensive. 13 pounds or Euros for a ticket as well .
