I have no intention of establishing a loyalty to one Irish team or another. The decision to see then UCD-Bray game is soley based on locational and time oppertunites that my wife and I have. If only 300 people come out, so be it. 3000? okay, you're at the numbers that come out to see the Kickers (yes, that's an AMERICAN team). We'll have fun either way, it's my damn vacation!

    I'm entirely unfamilar with hurling and GAA and wouldn't know where to go to see any. If we wander past Lansdowne Road and hear a roar, we'll come in and check it out. But it's soccer I love, and soccer I want to see. I have the jammed fingers, the achy knee, and the broken teeth that go with the sport, so changing me to American football or baseball is a waste of my time.

    Hockey rocks, but that's another story for another time.

    We'll see Cork some other time. Trust me on that one.
    You wouldn't find any of that brand of behaviour in Landsdowne Road. I'm afraid.

    Croke Park is where they perform such rituals.
    And stay out of Bumtown, ya no talent bum.

        It's basically who performed like shyte and who deserves recognition for one thing or another. I received it once when I had to skip a game because of a plumbing emergency in my home. I was accused of "staying home and doing housework".

        So anyway....I'll have about 4-5 Fan Rats shirts. Since about 4 or 5 people have replied on this thread, I guess it's only fair that you receive them.

        Shoot me a PM with your e-mail addresses so that I know who to look for once we get there. Thanks again, everybody!!

            uhhhhhh...not what you would think. The primary water line into my house developed a leak at a coupling, a transition fitting from steel to copper pipe, and the result was a high-pressure stream shooting into the room where this coupling was found. I had bail the room that was filling up for about 2 hours before a plumber was able to come out. The whole day was a wash.

            Sorry I had to go into detail on that, but I wanted to avoid as many jokes about "plumbing" as I could.

                    The Richmond Kickers are the A-league team that I wor for as a professional sports mascot. it's a side job for me, and I rock at it! I have access to the players, all of who I consider good buddies, and they've been very intstrumental at helping me raise my game (being 220 lbs, 35 yrs old but still able to keep a clean sheet).

                    Like I said, All I want to do is make a few new friends, kick the ball around, and have a new team to root for all summer long. I'll tell you more of why I picked UCD another time, only because it would take too long.

                            Seriously ... you dont know the error of your ways, UCD are THE very last team you describe as cool.

                            Forget it .... i did the maths and it worked out

                            5 T-shirts = T-shirt for every UCD fan ever

                            Yeah .... they win, hands down, go for it guys ... knock yourselves out.
