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

Yeah, you want it so that its the top hit on a Google or Amazon search, not having to trawl through a dozen books about American football.Quote:

I love this BTWQuote:

I reckon he only took the name to wind you up and that it is clear provocation :p. I think the matter should be settled in the traditional manner with both protagonists, armed with a set of Bohs annual accounts (year optional) canting - "reasons I hate Pat Fenlon"* The winner will be last man standing (in the LOI tradition - every club has one) and will have sole ownership (in Foot.ie world) of the name Stu and all variations thereof. Let the games begin :oQuote:

Is this a reference to mypost wanting games on Sundays?Quote:

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.
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!Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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

the only thing i know is that this forum isnt big enough for the stu of us.
*sigh* :o
To thank that post or to add negative reputation; that is the question...
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.
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
My toes are Freezing

Would you miss us if we weren't here?
Worst suggestion yet, historynut!Quote:

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?Quote:

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.
"Its the co-efficients stupid"
You should call it:
"Can't wait to go home after the game and pointlessly moan on foot.ie about something that happened"
do you mean alan kelly?. got a laugh out of that cos i've said it so many times!!!Quote:

The cover could be a play on the title too!
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.
