@LiveatOriel I had my sandwich when I Ieft the house. I had my sandwich when I arrived at the park. I had my sandwich when I arrived on the bench and took my first bite. A seagull ate half my sandwich. But it's ok, because regardless of the result, I had more possession of the sandwich.

LOVE THIS. Is this the year the conversation moves from "no fanz" to the over achievement that is consecutive years in the P.D. with a student scholarship squad ahead as money continues to (positively) grow at clubs around us? How many current LOI players got their start in UCD?.
UCD get an awful abuse but here are some facts . (1) The most sustainable club in Irish Football 👍🏻. (2) Against the odds they’ve a production line of talent yearly. (3) The only club who gives all their players an education. (4) The perfect yo-yo club. Respect The Students
