Different countries and associations at the end of the day.
Although, a bit like Welsh teams playing in the English League, there is an NI team (Derry) in the Irish League.
Will they be allowed that sponsor logo on their shirts in Europe?
If there’s any Drogheda fans reading this, make sure you order 2 sizes bigger than you normally have…

The reason we switched to summer football was to give our teams a better chance in European competitions, play on better surfaces, etc
Before we switched to summer football we moved to Friday matches from Sundays as a direct result of sky showing matches on Sundays. In fact, at the time, the eu made sky for our floodlights as a result!!
Though that would be for an entirely different reason for the Welsh clubs playing in England!!!
As it’s Macron again it’s gonna look great after 3 washes when both of the letter “O” s have fallen off. Will add whole new meaning to the expression “right winger”.

Unfortunate they may look great for 5 mins but the quality is utter shite Erea where miles better.
Looking on social media, a lot of their fans don’t seem impressed with the checked design. A bit similar to when our kit got changed to those wide black and white pinstripes.

Interesting that it is Macron given the issues the club has had with them.
I suppose they got a better deal by including Drogheda, they’ll get an even better deal next season when they include Silkeborg.
And in doing so, the fans get a poor deal, it is like they are not listening again 
They are supposed to be business people, do they not realize that if they started to use a better quality supplier they would sell a lot more merchandise ?

I’m sure they were expecting better quality from them so leveraging the buying power of the group makes no difference to this, there is no cause and effect. It makes sense to leverage this buying power regardless of who the supplier is. They didn’t receive poor quality because they leveraged their buying power.
The criticism will be fair if they then extend the contract having received a poor quality product and supply issues.
As an aside, looking at the arrivals at Birmingham airport on Wednesday, amongst the Villa flights coming back from Leipzig, later in the day was a ‘football charter from Athens. Looking at the fixtures I couldn’t understand why until Thursday night when I realised it was the Panathinaikos team arriving to take on TNS in the EUFA Conf League.
League of Wales football is a undiscovered country for me and I didn’t realise that TNS’ home ground is in Oswestry - but this game was hosted at Shrewsbury Town.

It’s because TNS originally started as Llansantffraid FC in Wales but later merged with Oswestry Town just across the border in England.
Then they became Total Network Solutions, which is a small town just outside Llandovveryfuckrat

Conor McGregor has shared pictures on Facebook with the FAI cup which has caused Drogheda to issue a statement about the brand advertisement. Conor replied to their post on Facebook saying “How much is to buy a league of Ireland team I might buy two.”

Feels like a good bit of publicity for Drogheda and may get a few more fans from the popularity of McGregor.
He’s not a popular figure these days, become pretty toxic.

I’d never heard of him.
Getting found guilty of rape in a civil trial will do that.
