Hello friends, St. Pat's fans and members of the internet, I've finished my drawing of Richmond, I hope you like it. I had a great time taking a walk around the ground a few months ago, as well as doing a market there last Christmas, as a community they have been very supportive of my work.

Thank you to the club for allowing me access, and Garrett Kelleher for not throwing me out when he walked over to ask me what I was doing there :D

I hope you don't mind me sharing that prints are available in the usual place if you're in to that sort of thing. I am an independent artist trying to survive making my little LOI drawings and I very much appreciate the support I've found here too, I have a couple more to share soon :)

PRINTS!

If you've been following along you know I have been working on this one for a while. Something for the Galliamh heads out there. Thank you to good guy Paul Mlad for giving me a tour a while back to help make this possible!

Eamonn Deacy Park, home of Galway United.

Prints are in the usual place if anyone would like to check them out. Thank you to everyone here who is always so sound, it realy helps me to keep doing this.

So my girlfriend and I are St. Pat's season ticket holders. She wasn't a fan of football before, but we decided we'd go and support local and we've both loved it so far... despite the results. The atmosphere is great, it's great seeing so many people out together and it really feels like we're part of the community.

Anyway, fast forward to our holiday plans and we've decided to head to the Baltic states - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia (because Ireland just get too damn hot in the summer!). The girlfriend suggests that we try to check out some local football when we're there just to compare, check out the community, etc.

We check the fixtures and it turns out FK Zalgiris are playing at home when we're in Vilnius. Perfect! They're defending champions and play their home games in the (admittedly tiny) national stadium. We book two tickets (tenner each) and stick it into the holiday itinerary.

The Conference League draw is made subsequently and St. Pat's get drawn against FC Hegelmann. 'Wait,' I think to myself, 'I recognise that name!'

Yeah, it turns out that Hegelmann (2nd in the A Lyga) are travelling to play the champions (languishing towards the lower reaches of the table) and we've got tickets with our names on them.

Then, on a soggy Tuesday in Vilnius, we make our way out from the Old Town (UNESCO Hertiage Site, don't you know), past the train station, to the FK Žalgirio namų stadionas (FK Zalgiris' Home Stadium in English) to see the wares on offer. Many locals thought we were weirdos for even considering it, suggesting there was a never-ending list of more exciting things to do in the city.

The stadium was strange. There were seats on two sides (at one end - where the 30 or so ultras took uo residence - and one side) with what looked more a pavillion on the other side. Behind the other end was a net dividing the the main surface from practise and 5-a-side pitches.

We grabbed a few drinks (beer for me, cider for the lady) and found our seats two rows back from the plastic pitch. The players went inside after their warm-up and the sprinklers came on, the wind obviously blowing much of the water back onto us in the stand. It was all so unneccesary as the drizzle had barely abated all day, and there was a heavy shower forecasted (and it duly arrived) for the first half.

The attendance was sparse, even for a 5,000 capacity ground, with not much more than 200 brave souls (and almost no away fans) cheering on the Green Forest.

The match itself was... short on quality: balls were mis-controlled at vital moments and killer passes were misplaced. FK Zalgiris looked to control possession but always seemed toothless at the business end. Plus they always looked a little flustered once the opposition had the ball. Having watched St. Pat's all year, the omens looked oh so familiar.

The visitors seemed to offer little from open play, but were a threat from set-pieces; Brazilian Léo Ribeiro's deliveries causing panic in the Zalgiris box. Their keeper Vincentas Šarkauskas seemed glued to penalty box and did not like the ball at his feet - very 1980s of him. Up front, Cameroonian Njoya Abdel couldn't seem to make the ball stick.

Then, just before half-time, Zalgiris muddle what should have been an easy clean-up, and captain Klaudijus Upstas scores the opener.

As for the second half, well, not a lot happened. For Zalgiris, defensive midfielder Ofori dictated the play: his positioning, passing and physicality all impressive. But there was little quality ahead of him and an equaliser was never really on the cards. The full-backs (Martinique's Joris Moutachy and Portugal's Bruno Tavares) pushed forward enthusiastically, but never had anyone to link up with. Hegelmann seemed comfortable enough behind the ball and never looked a real threat in attack; their counters perenially failing before they'd begun.

So what can St. Pat's expect from FC Hegelmann?

The biggest threats will come from set-pieces. Léo Ribeiro's deliveries are excellent, and centre-backs Antanavičius and Đorić are big lads sent up from centre back. They seem very well organised in a mid-block with Israeli defender Mulder* particularly vocal.

The overall quality isn't great, however, and I really think Pat's should have too much for them. There is not too much invention in the Hegelmann team and the the passes don't seem to stick. If Pat's can take an early lead, in particular, it could snowball. If the Hegelmann defence pushes up at all, there will be a lot of space to exploit between them and the keeper (who really doesn't want to play a sweeper role).

Kenny seems intent on keeping the players as wide as possible, but this will only prove useful if that creates space inside. There is no point swining over crosses to Melia or Keena with those rangy centre-back in attendance.

TL/DR

I think Pat's will beat Hegelmann.

*I expect Mulder to get a lot of abuse from the Pat's fans and we have to make sure that it is civil. The last thing we need is something that could be deemd anti-semitic costing us a decent fine or even our place in the competition. Palestine flags or chants of 'Free, Free Palestine' should hopefully do enough to unsettle him and keep us on the right side of the law makers.

In full bogey wogey mode

Premier Division: 1. Shamrock Rovers 2. Derry City 3. St Pats 4. Shelbourne 5. Galway 6. Waterford United 7. Drogheda United 8. Cork City 9. Sligo Rovers 10. Bohs

Notes: Bohs 10th is the worst prediction anyone has ever made in their life. Put Sligo on the Money I think. Cork a bit high.

First Division: 1. Dundalk 2. UCD 3. Wexford 4. Athlone Town 5. Cobh 6. Treaty United 7. Bray Wanderers 8. Finn Harps 9. Kerry FC 10. Longford

Notes: Dundalk and Kerry are gonna finish where I said. UCD and Bray a tad of. Athlone my worst prediction. But no one saw that coming.

Cheers and delete if not allowed, please.

Hello friends, I hope it's ok to do this, you know who I am by now, I spend my life toiling making League of Ireland art, and I hope to continue doing that in 2025, visiting grounds and making new cool things, maybe even working on projects with clubs themselves.

As it's the holiday season, I hope you don't mind if I share that I do also sell prints of my work to make your homes lovely and it's a great way for people to support my work, but also to keep me doing what I'm doing.

I'm a one man band who does everything. From socials, emails, sourcing/buying materials, printing/packaging, postage, drawing! Looking for work, applying for grants, to screaming in to the void.

Spreading the word helps a small business so much. Thank you.

Prints!

Congrats Drogheda, really brilliant, deserved it 🎉🏆

The weight of the nations coefficient now rests on your shoulders, renew them passports ✈️

Drogs were very sound and allowed me to take a walk around the grounds during pre season, and I have never seen so many volunteers doing so much work to get the place put together and improve it where they could before the season kicked off.

Great people, I appreciate them. Here is what I drew based off my visit.

As always there are prints if you're in to that sort of thing. Thank you all for being so supportive any time I share something, I know what I do is really niche!

Hello it's me again.

The many sides of Tolka Park. Home of the Champions, soon to host Champions League football once again 🏆

I enjoyed my visit a few months ago where everyone was extremely accommodating despite how busy they were making improvements around the ground.

A tour of the kit room a particular highlight!

You can find prints here if your in to that sort of thing, but if you could share this with a Shels fan that would be just as welcome!

I am going to Eamonn Deacy Park next

Hi lads, I'm a software developer who gets bored in the evenings. I built a website back in 2018 for me and my mates to predict WorldCup 2018 and then added EPL and EUROs to it in 2019 and 2020.

My son's been at me for the last few years to add LOI but finding free time around Christmas/new year has always been tough, but I've finally added LOI1 and LOI2 to it this year.

It's completely free to use. I don't don't make any money from it (it actually costs me a couple hundred a year for hosting/domain/ssl). There's no advertising on it, there's no data tracking nonsense. It's just an old school free website like the good old days of the internet.

Just figured I'd share it here in case anyone was interested in using it for the upcoming seasons. You'll by default see the EPL when you register but you can filter it to hide it if you want. And then you can set up some private mini leagues for you and your mates. You can predict a score right up to kickoff of each match and the results are usually updated within an hour of final whistle.

Sorry if some people see this as self promotion, it's honestly not, as I said I don't make a cent from this so it's all the one to me if people use it or not, it's just a hobby for me building it and given how rarely anything is free these days I'm just sharing the love.

If anyone is interested and has any questions feel free to DM me and I'll help you out (there's a "HowToGuide" on the website too).

www.fantasyscoreline.com

Side note: I've a bit of history for all the fixtures, have it back to 2012 for LOI1 and 2019 for LOI2. Starts getting harder going back further than that getting crests and websites for older possibly defunct teams but I might add more throughout the year.

Longford and Ireland don't give me much to work with so I love following Irish clubs in Europe.

Good luck to my Shels Pals. Champions League football back in Tolka 🤌

A drawing I've been working on since visiting Oriel earlier this year. I love the fancy gates they have down the side of the YDC, they should be at the entrance of the grounds tbh.

I haven't updated my portfolio in a while, but if you want to see some of the stuff I have spent the last decade of my life working on, please feel free to have a look!

Thought I’d share a few jerseys I designed as part of a concept rebrand for Kilkenny FC. Would love to see a LOI team back in Kilkenny soon.

The full project is on my Instagram if you’d like to check it out.

My first time to Lansdowne was the Longford v Waterford cup final as a young fella, and what a night It was. What's your favourite memory?

It helps that I worked on the Ireland match programmes for a few years, but even beyond that, Lansdowne Road is the place I've drawn the most ⚽
