"7th Day Adventists and other Weirdo's - Welcome to the League of Ireland"

Is this a reference to mypost wanting games on Sundays?

There is no copyright infringement, though I understand the point being made about the previous book. Basically the publisher has the final say, but because the book is a condensed history of the 21 clubs - anything from 12-18 pages, a fans survey (which Im happy to quiz people on here if so wished), and I've travelled to all the grounds - well 4 left - and included ground info, nearest pub, price of curry chip, programme and fanzine where a club has one etc, I want the book to have a fun title , though its understandable if a more practical title is opted for.
Providing I cut down my word count there will also be brief look back to clubs like Drumcondra, EMFA and Kildare County etc , so I'm keen to get the right title. Distrubrution isnt a problem as you'll be able to get it in a recognised book store chain.

Thats not how Amazon works - if you entered it into Amazon it would return two results as there are only, hypothetically speaking, 2 books with a similar name.



I just typed it into Amazon under books and got 86 results. I remember trying to find Gods vs Mortals before Christmas and it was a struggle!

Re: the name, I'd go for something connected to going to the ground, "And look for the floodlights" was a good one

* Game open to the two people named only (although late applications may be accepted from other Stu's - until fudge runs out).
I invite Aberdonian Stu on to my team. Get another Bohs Stu and we can have a two-man tag wrestling match to decide this.

I'll sit back and have a pint while Aberdonian Stu mashes you. :)

Think someone had mentioned " Just look for the floodlights " or "Just Follow The floodlights" here, both of which are good as well.

Of course there's no law against it, but if you want your book to be marketed properly, distinguishing it might help

Indeed. I remember well when an ex brought home a sex book called How to Hug.

I hadn't the heart to point out it was Volume 9 of the Oxford English Dictionary.

What about Frankfort, Pioneers, Olympia, Ymca, Dolphin, Jacobs, Brookyn, Brideville, Reds Utd, Thurles, Newcastlewest, Cork Celtic, Cork Hibs and various other Cork clubs.

To thank that post or to add negative reputation; that is the question...

[writerbk1969]

HISTORYNUT - all 11 cork clubs are featured and there's a mention to many of the defunct clubs you've put down. Im just trying to see is there a way to cut down on word count yet include a bit of their history.

[WoodquayBoy]

nN the title, I like 'Follow the floodlights' or 'Look for the floodlights' as a main title. Funny without trying to be too clever. Would steer away from naming specific clubs or grounds

Would you miss us if we weren't here?

Worst suggestion yet, historynut!








(:p
I would also go for "Just Look For The Floodlights", cracking title!)

[writerbk1969]

Did get a few funny ones - Is this the Way to Salthill Devon ,or freezing my nuts off in Mervue, to the slightly odd - If Graham Kelly is reffing the game we're f******

Have you decided yet?

[writerbk1969]

Pitching it this week so hope for definite answer by Friday.

"Dreams and Nightmares" the League of Ireland where both freuently happen.
A league that has had domination but the smaller teams have had their moments of glory, and their dreams fullfilled, but probably every team has had a nightmare moment - relegation and inept housekeeping, financial collapse iminent etc etc etc.

[Dixie Dean]

"Its the co-efficients stupid"

[poster]

You should call it:
"Can't wait to go home after the game and pointlessly moan on foot.ie about something that happened"

[green army]

The cover could be a play on the title too!

[Oldred]

How about "You're a ba***rd Referee". A L of I etc
Something naughty will always catch the eye, plus it's the most universal chant at matches since the League began.
