Hearing that alright, Limerick FC to give the new champions their first defeat since winning the title? Or is it the Munster XI team that played there a few years back?
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Every plan I have is the best plan in the room. Everybody get quiet and listen to it, and everybody will win
You'd think so, Limerick FC are holding a press conference today, tbf, first lining up Barca, now City, is good going by someone, assuming it comes off (It'll probably be Fans United now or someone).

They play Wolfsburg on Aug 4th, so probably a reserve team, that Limerick will play.

From what I know/hear the Barca game isn't 100% off the table for sometime in the future.
A chance meeting on a train to Dublin is what has meant to have lead to the Barca fixture.
A Barcelona official met a development officer, or something of that nature...

Someone on twitter machine there said they'd be bringing full squad - tickets on sale at 1
Seemingly Limerick FC are the only team to ever refuse a friendly with Barca, (****ing FAI), you'd hope it could be put right alright.

Maybe they are flying straight from Germany then.

Limerick FC in association with Thomond Park Stadium are delighted to announce the biggest Friendly in the current history of the club as Limerick FC take on the English Premier League Champions Manchester City in Thomond Park on August 5th with a 7pm K.O.
The Super stars of the Barclays Premier League are bringing all their first team Stars to the Midwest in a game that no one should miss. The first team squad currently includes a galaxy of world class players such as Balotelli, Tevez, Nasri, Silva, Aguero, Hart, Clichy, Barry, De Jong, Dzeko, for example. Limerick FC last played Manchester City for the Treaty 300 celebrations in Thomond Park on August 4th 1991. Manchester City finished 4th in the old Division 1 that season under the Management of Peter Reid, they now return to the Treaty City 21 years later as Premier League Champions under Roberto Mancini. The Battle of the Blues will see the "The Super Blues" of Limerick play the new Premier League Champions of England, so it’s Super Mario "Mario Balotelli" against Superman "Pat Purcell".
Pat O Sullivan Chairman Limerick FC
I am very happy that such a big club as Man City has agreed to come to Limerick and I wish to thank Damien O Brien, The FAI and Thomond Park and all at Man City for their wonderful co-operation in ensuring that this event happens.
It also shows where local sporting organisations, in this case Rugby and Soccer when working together can bring massive social and economic benefits to the region and also solidify Thomond Park as a major soccer venue. I also hope that the local businesses and communities give their full backing to this major event in view of our status as a city of sport and culture.
Damien O‘Brien Iconic Sports
I am personally delighted to be working with Limerick FC and Thomond Park in bringing Manchester City the Current Premier league Champions and one of the Worlds most exciting teams including stars like Mario Balotelli, Samir Nasri, Carlos Tevez, and Sergio Aguero to Limerick for this fantastic event for all the family. The fact that all profits will go back into good causes throughout Limerick and Ireland is an even better reason for all the family to attend this Bank Holiday weekend spectacular.
John Cantwell Thomond Park Stadium Director
I am delighted that one of the world’s biggest football clubs and brands will be coming to play at Thomond Park Stadium. It is fantastic that Thomond Park can attract yet another high profile event that will deliver significant economic, social, and media benefits to Limerick and the Mid-West region.This will be a wonderful opportunity for people to support this unique event and to enjoy the galaxy of football superstars in action. I would also encourage local businesses, organisations, and media to support this event to maximise the benefits for all concerned.
Finally, I wish to thank Limerick FC and Damien O’Brien for their fantastic efforts and also the FAI and IRFU for their cooperation.

Taz-Where did you get that information as I have seen nowhere that he(Penney) was ruled out?

Editor-- This article originally said Rob Penney had missed out on the Munster coaching job. That information was incorrect.
These games are brand promoting exercises by and large for clubs like Man City so they'll certainly be brining a very good chunk of their big names.

Fair play to Limerick FC. The tickets are reasonably priced as well. Not a massive fan of the round ball but I'll go along to this.
Class....someone in that club is right on top of their game!!

It will be a Manchester XI, nowhere near a full strength line-up.
