    I do love the intricate sense of identity, passion and heritage that goes into Irish people's choice of which foreign football club to follow.

    Did they happen to have a nicer jersey than the other team they were playing that day.....?

    What was the first international football team you saw on TV by the way ? I'd be fairtly confident it wasn't Ireland.

    Ireland.

    My brother told me that my dad was there to which i replied "which colour is he playing in?"
    "If you don't work harder I'll pull you off at halftime,"
    “Crikey, at Manchester City all we get is an orange and a cup of tea,"

    the randomness of some of these second teams just shows what a weird bunch we are...

    "Im a die-hard Liverpool fan through and through. Been to Anfield once too in 91. You follow Bohs? Thats weird man..."

    "Yeah, i folly Bohs alright but i look out for FC Katmandu, 1.FC Wiggles and Hergeeflurgee from Norway"

    At this point i should also mention i keep an eye out for Kidderminster Harriers results Went to see them a few times when I was younger including seeing them throw away a 4-0 half time lead once.

    No, just City .... and thats enough in itself
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Sligo Rovers, they are far enough from me to be classed as foreign.

    Across the water, Everton.
    In mainland Europe, Barcelona
