The Dyed In The Wool book by Robin Browett is good if any Hoops fans are reading this. Robin passed away in January 2003 so it is also a memorial to one of Nature's gentlemen. Robin would have been well known the length and breadth of the country as he frequently visited away grounds following his beloved Shamrock Rovers.

Absolutely brilliant, laughed the entire way through it, all the stories are specific to Kilkenny City, but if you've ever been involved in Football at any level you will recognise the different characters from each story.Quote:

StrabaneHarps, might leave it next year - don't have much time on my hands anyway - would Patsy have some copies?

best football book I've read is"Football against the enemy" by Simon Kuper. Just finished it, but great story telling. F*** ing hate hoolie porn
harpskid - cheers for the offer - but not much point in me getting it - not much time on my hands with exams and stuff- First game of next season I'll get it, if that suits ye, or maybe a friendly or whatever - ill remind you. Fair play anyway. Is the book top-notch as McGowans articles in the DD?
Apologies for the lateness of reply :(
If you thought a suicide bomber would blow up your house if you made a bad decision , wouldn't you be a better referee?;)Quote:
