Tell all the barstoolers you know...

that its gonna be 3 in a row :D

all 3 eL sides have every chance of going through this year, and thats just this round. shels made glentoran look amateur, city pulled off a 2 goal win away from home against an unknown quantity, and the town showed that eL football is rivaled only by scotland (and even then, by one city) as the "other league" on the british isles. as eL fans its our duty to tell this to friends, family, workmates, that guy who asks you for a light... rather than loudly question the parenthood of the langer trying to over take you in a civic TELL HIM.

the eL doesnt get enough media coverage, but together we can make a pretty good grassroots propaganda machine :)

we'll ive heard them called the ****** isles but i dont see why people are confused about the difference between Great Britain (the island, with 3 nations) and the United Kingdom. its called great britain because its the largest of the british isles. cant believe we're having this discussion in what was a positive thread about irish football :rolleyes:

Neither can I. We're all mad.

no its not. its called Great Britain because it is larger than the other Britain (Brittany, in France).

I'm not a fan of the term 'British Isles', but I couldn't be bothered arguing anymore. Personally, I'd use Britain and Ireland.

I intend to bring at least two non-regulars to Cork City's game next week against Shams.

from wikipedia:
"In Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae from the middle ages, the British Isles were referred to as Britannia major and Britannia minor. The term "Bretayne the grete" was used by chroniclers as early as 1338, but it was not used officially until King James I proclaimed himself "King of Great Britain" on 20 October 1604 to avoid the more cumbersome title "King of England and Scotland"."

yes, the similarity in names of Bretagne and Britain comes from the classical opinion that both were inhabited by "brutes" or the descendants of "Brutus the mythological Trojan warrior who was supposed to have conquered the race of giants led by Gog and Magog who inhabited the isles and then occupied it with its followers." but the "great" bit refers to Brittannica Majora, or Great(er) Britain, with "Hibernia" being refered to as "Brittannica Inferior"

good work ;) i'll be bringing as many barstoolers as i can round up to the european home game.

Question is...can they win the three return legs too?

Two of the away ties are out of the way, the teams now know what they're up against...Longford might shut up shop in Carmarthen and settle for 0-0, but other than that, there seems no reason why we can't make it a perfect six? If each team then picked up even one draw in going out in the second round, we'd be up to 3.000 - start doing that every season and we'd be flying!

up to 2.5, would it not be?

(1+1+1+1+1+1+.5+.5+.5)/3

Yes. You're right... :o

It wouldn't hurt to start making a habit of getting that score either though.

True.

12.500 (5 x 2.500) would have you straight through to the second qualifying round of the UEFA and seeded in the Second Round CL draw. That's before you take into account any extra points gained by clubs individually in the non-qualifying rounds. Entering the CL at the Second Round stage would mean it'd be much easier to at least get into the UEFA Cup First Round too.

:eek: :D

And some people don't like the term "British Isles". Maybe we should keep quiet about this one... :)

FFS, just call it Ireland, that's the name of this island.

Gavin Zac makes a good point though.

D'you know something? If you boys keep on ****ing your panties about the all-conquering Shels, you might just find yourselves with a rather large humble pie to eat next Wednesday night. Might just bring down a couple of thousand paper plates and napkins with me to Dublin, just in case, eh? :)
