I was in Quinns in Drumcondra there on Thursday night, the 'county colours' night, and saw a guy wearing a Shelbourne top. I would have acknowledged him if I was wearing my Derry top but I forgot to wear it. Better to acknowlegde a Shels fan than someone wearing a Liverpool/Man U top etc. Mind you, the vast majority in Quinns were wearing GAA tops.Quote:

I agree. There are too few of us on this planet to ignore one another. Forza LOI!

One of them was a girl that I vaguely remember being cute but it could just have been the shirt that did it for me too.
I've seen a few Cork City shirts there too. There is usually a nod alright. Had a chat with a Cork fan on the bus one day but that's going back a few years now too.
And there was this guy who used to come into the shop I work in wearing a Dublin City baseball cap. I asked him was he a fan one day. "Oh yeah for years and years," he assured me with a cheesy grin. "Back in the Home Farm days and all so?" I enquired. He looked blankly at me. When I told him that Dublin City were a pretty new proposition in that form he blushed and decided that it was mostly the Gah he was into. He spun more Walter Mitty style yarns at other times but that first one remains my favourite. :)

(or something to that effect) for no apparent reason, especially given the fact that I wasn't wearing any colours. I had no idea what to say next, but the prof just looked amused and asked whether that happened to me often.
Mary had a little lamb... :pQuote:

Could have be a SundOireland fan who went to the Cork friendly...
:D That was me!!!!Quote:

I don't support Cork at all but I got the scarf when Derry lost 2-0 down in Cork a few seasons ago and Cork won the title. A guy came up to me and asked to swap Cork scarf for Derry scarf. I readily obliged then quickly realised that it was the only thing I was wearing that identified me as a Derry fan.:o Suffice to say, I got some very strange looks from Derry fans that Day when I got Peter Hutton so sign my programme while holding a Cork scarf.
I lost a scarf a few days ago so it's the only scarf I have left. I have to go get 1 before the Bohs match otherwise I'll get some strange looks again. :D
A scarf? It's not that cold out :D
Chap came in to my place of work in derry jacket and i was chatting to him bout the previous nights match. Derry and bray.Quote:

My son came rushing in to tell me last night that he saw an old Monaghan United Jersey in the crowd at the Russia -v-Spain game. Sad thing is I am almost 100% sure who the wearer is as I pretty much know everyone who ever bought a Mons jersey!

I wear my St Pats jersey/t shirt to all Slavia games, usually with a Slavia scarf, but as you saw from your few days here it was no weather to be wearing a scarf. Was delighted when I saw Eircom League fans in the other part of the ground, was definitely gonna say hello. Am still waiting to meet some that live here permanently though :(
