If they were any good they`d be playing with better teams that sunderland, the problem i have is with the irish media, quinn, chawlke, all his annoying buddies and the new embarrassing irish fan group that all of a sudden has fallen for this pathetic attempt of trying to create an irish club in the uk.
Its a disgrace that plane loads are still going over on day trips to watch a team who will come no higher than 17th or 18th, ut this is nothing on the shameful elevation the irish media has bestowed them for what ??? Tradition ? Dont think so, decent and proper clubs with historical irish interest and a brilliant history over a hundred years like Celtic (and to be fair Rangers for the other side living here), now see their media space eaten up with this shambolic johnny come lately effort, or as Eamonn Sweeeney once wrote in the Sun Indo 'paddy come lately'.
The final cringo stroy was a feature on tyne tees (sunderland local tv region) interviewing supporters and they weren`t one bit happy with the irish coming over, saying to everyone this is an english club. Quite.
Sooner the get relegated the better. Championship is their level. Be interesting if the day trippers would still go then...............I think not.
