Hibs 3 Charlton 2

Charlton Athletic provided the final pre-season test for Tony Mowbray’s side, and in the event it was a very useful workout for both the Premiership and SPL side. Charlton were quick off the mark and caught Hibs cold when they went ahead courtesy of the first real attack of the game, the English side going further ahead while Hibernian struck woodwork twice. A superb strike however from Scott Brown set the game up for an interesting second half….

Charlton were first to break forward but Hogg was quick enough to cut out an Ambrose cross before Konde cleared, but after just three minutes Charlton opened the scoring. Thomas played the ball wide to Rommedahl, who in turn lifted a superb return pass at chest height for Hasselbank who cushioned the ball down before shooting across Malkowski and into the far corner of the net.

Bolton Wanderers 15.00

Today I was able to purchase two tickets for Charltons second home game against Bolton Wanderers. Got good tickets, middle of the pitch. This should be a good battle between the both. Bolton typically have a better run of the season than Charlton do, but ya never know by the time this game happens big sam might be the new Aston Villa manager...

Barcelona have signed up Juventus players Lilian Thuram and Gianluca Zambrotta.

Defender Thuram has signed a two-year deal with the Spanish champions while Italian World Cup winner Zambrotta has put pen to paper on a four-year contract.

I wonder how come none of the premierships clubs have swooped in for any othe Juve or the other relegated teams players. I reckon Charlton should keep an eye out, they could pick someone up on a loan deal for a year.

The idea behind The Irish Addicks is to try and get a supporters club going for Charlton Athletic Football Club in Ireland. (I am not aware on one existing at the moment, if there is google is lying to me:) Not trying to step on anyones toes, so if one exists let me know)

Premiership football in ireland is very popular and many people support the higher up teams. I myself was a good Arsenal fan until I saw the light at my first Charlton v Middlesboro game last year.

I keep uptodate regulary with the club and travel over to see the games when I can get tickets when they come on general sale.

To anyone else in Ireland who might be interested in joining the Irish Addicks get in touch.
