For individuals that would be interested in forming Irish Kop teams please see this thread. It should be a great way of meeting the faces behind the posts and have a cracking day out whilst contributing to a very worthy cause.
Interested but the time thing is an issue. I understand you are trying to organise a big thing(fair play) and your trying to suit everyone but as soon as you have a time can you post it here. Love to take part!
Hello everyone, My name is Ian Graves and I'd just like to thank Liam, Pam and everybody else involved with this magnificent idea to raise funding for the memorial. As your probably aware I mentioned that the good people of Irish Kop may hold this football tournament during my interview on LFC.TV but to see it coming to fruition is leaving me speechless with admiration. In fact, when Liam contacted me to let me know it was happening I had a lump in my throat the size of a cooking apple. What more fitting a way is there to honour the great Bob Paisley then to hold a tournament in his name? Truly outstanding. Also many thanks go to Astropark for agreeing not only to hold the event but to sponsor it in such a way. I'll be getting in touch with them to thank them as soon as is humanly possible. As you can imagine the task we have taken on is a challenging one, but very much worth all the effort when you see things like this happening. On behalf of the Bob Paisley memorial Committee I would personally like to thank each and every one of you. You'll never walk alone. Ian.
the astrobar in colsed in tallaght but im sure somethin will be organised in one of the locals like in the nest im sure everything wil be takin into consideration regarding times when the tv companies announce their games for the end of april
