University College Dublin v Charlton Athletic - PSF - 12 July 2017

Henry Irving

The third of our trio of Irish games takes us back to the Pale where we will face a team ten years older than ourselves. "The Students" still have direct links to the univesity and still have undergraduates, often from their sporting scholarship scheme, representing them.

Billy Clarke and some of the others players yet to get as many minutes such as Josh Magennis may be risked for longer tonight. Kashi, Solly, Fosu, Novak and Ajose weren't available last night due to knocks and it seems unlikely that all will recover. Robinson may try to give Charles Charlie Charles-Cook a longer run out in his preferred midfield slot, perhaps with Anfernee Dijsteel, another youngster who will want more time to impress the boss.

Otherwise expect multiple changes at HT or 60 minutes.

UCD play in the League of Ireland First Division which is the second tier of Eire football. On that basis that should be a harder test than Crumlin and an easier task than Limerick so my prediction is 1 - 1, a result that should satisfy neither the glass half full or the glass half empty camps. The rest of us will see it as an early and so not very significant pre-season result.

I see that Billy Clarke is set to be the next player than no one can ever spell?

Lookout over ruled him.

I'm no expert (I am really) but, @Henry Irving, did you mean Pale rather than Pall?

A game against my Alma Cogan Mater - had hoped to go tonight, but the fates are against me.

Shocked, also, Henry that you managed to omit any mention of Socrates' time at UCD.

I missed those. I assumed you'd been given an extended summer leave. Once we're back in England, I fully expect you to start ramping up. August 5th is not far away and we need you sharp my friend. None of this banana republic nonsense offered up by Henry and his allies in a coup d'état.

P.S. thanks for doing these Henry, they really are much appreciated.

A lovely little thinker but permantly pissed.

I meant Pale. That will teach me not to check the spelling.

Surely you're not suggesting that Henners is likely to pale into insignificance ?

Pale as it beyond the pale, a bit like AFKA.

Bit of history and politics there. Don't get that on lesser previews.

That is the previews equivalent to a dueling glove slap. Are you going to stand for this @ForeverAddickted @Dazzler21?

I look forward to rival previews for Welling #FA4Life

ForeverAddickted does proper reviews, at least the equal of my own.

To be honest I dont think I can beat the one below this season... The bar has been well and truly set!!

I see alliances forming already. As a Communist, I love a good coup.

I'm just going to come out with the question that's on all of our minds: What color shorts will we be wearing today?

Nah, not until the 2nd half

Lookie has flexed his muscle as the real gaffer of CL and closed the usurper thread.

Long live the real match thread.

Lookie is no fan of yours either. @i_b_b_o_r_g is your one remaining supporter on the mod panel, and fortunately for you, he runs the gaff these days.

Anyway, Bowyer? Wtf? Wouldn't be surprised if @Swisdom gets the last 15 between the sticks

sam3110

Jackson starting, Bowyer on the bench, maybe the hold up on a new keeper is because Robinson is carb loading for the new season and aims to fill the goal role himself?
