I mentioned this idea casually to a bloke down the pub last night and when I woke up this morning I had over 100 Million Euros in start-up funds by soccer mad Irish businessmen dying to invest in my new club, a letter of congradulations from the Dail, an Aertel page of my own on the RTE site and a cast iron promise that Identity Crisis FC would be the first story on every RTE Sports report. Pat Kenny has already booked me to talk about the greatest sensation in Irish soccer since Sunderland became Irish.
I already am planning the TV ads and RTE are giving me the slots for free which they will play constantly. The ad will show Finn McCool building the giants causeways and a voice over will announce "the Irish are coming" and behind Finn will be thousands of knackers, skangers and investment bankers as well as Brit hating GAA supporters charging across the giants causeway to watch Identity Crisis FC do battle with the aul enemy at Pint O' the Blackstuff Park. While a Riverdance soundtrack plays - at the head of them will be Roddy Collins and Bertie and his two grandchildren "Slasher" and "Dog Biscuits" or whatever they were named, leading the charge with tears in their eyes. He is having a word with Minister for Transport, Dempsey to build an airport right next to Pint O' the Blackstuff Park for the 30,000 soccer mad Irish public who have already purchased season tickets so they can get in and out easy enough. When the Irish sports journalists heard of my plan they went into a state of rapture forgetting their appointments at the rehab clinic.
I need some top players from the LOI - I have already offered a fiver and an Xtravision DVD voucher as transfer payments and already I have 100 players from LOI club officials only too glad to help.
Trap will be flying out to watch the first match against Gladstones Imperials in the Arkwrights Black Pudding and Suet League which is now "our" league. A linguistics course is also being run by the club to teach soccer mad Irish patriots how to say "we", "us" and "them" when talking about Identity Crisis FC and who were are playing.
Identity Crisis FC - "We'll Keep the Green Flaging Flying Over Here."
