TODAY I will be in The Showgrounds. I will shout, I will sing and I will chew my nails down to the quick. At various points in the proceedings, I will see nothing but honest endeavour from one side and underhand villainy from the other, and I will become convinced that the referee is engaged in a conspiracy against the home team. In short, I won't be a sportswriter, I'll be a fan.

Im guessing thats by Eamonn Sweeney?

PMed ye the article lads as I dont think Dahamsta would be happy if I posted the entire article here
theres also an article on Harpal Singh in the same paper, worth going out and buying the paper this morn lads ! :)
oh right,cheers.....it said my email is already in use on that site.
Got to be Sweeney ..... Good enough piece if really just a precis of his book; Bohs Partisan will like the line about the country been run by the triumvirate of the Catholic Chursh, Fianna Fail and the GAA, and being into domestic football is like being a Sikh or a member of the Socialist party

Definitely not, I can think of at least one more game in the past few years that was all ticket. Maybe he means the first all ticket one to actually sell out?Quote:
