Steve Staunton captained Ireland at the 2002 World Cup
2002 was the 18 anniversary of the release of Footloose
Footloose starred Kevin Bacon!
7 steps to Kevin Bacon! No wait, what was the question again?
How about one step to Saipan.
Keith Andrews trained in Inchicore.
Both places are kips.
Team captain fell out with managerQuote:

McCann, McCarthy, Garvan, O'Toole & Quinn could all feel similarly aggrieved. The case to pick Fahey over any of these isn't that compelling.
Nothing fickle about it. I've grown sick of the whole thing over the last few years and I make no apology for it. If you think it's better that I don't support Ireland, then I agree. Some of the attitudes expressed here (Not neccessarily yours btw) are one of the things that turned me off, if some people find me "objectionable" because of that, too bad. I'll just have to cry myself to sleep. And let me just state again, I know, as most LOI fans do I'm sure, that the players in the LOI are here because they didn't/couldn't make it in England. I know that they are not as good as the players in the International squad. We don't live in some sort of bubble you know. I watch some English football, some champions league, and yes, Irish internationals on TV. None of this has any bearing on which team I support. I take the old fashioned view. Proper supporters support their local team. I genuinely don't understand someone living in Dublin, Cork, Mayo or Derry who can refer to Man U, Liverpool, or Celtic as "we" and "us" with a straight face. When that attitude turns to hostility against local teams and their supporters then I get rightly peed off. Old ground, old debate, and off topic, I know. But there you go. And one last question. Do people not support the League of Ireland because it's crap, or is the league of Ireland crap because people don't support it ? See the connection ?Quote:

Both produced humongous off-topic threads :DQuote:

About 90% of LOI fans support their clubs because they are from the local area (Inchicore, Phibsboro, etc.), they were brought to games at a young age by family or friends, or the club is representing their town or city. There's not many of you that decided at the age of 25 that we should all be supporting an Irish team and then grew a love for a certain club.Quote:

I love Celtic now and I wouldn't dream about giving them up. It'd be like giving up the drink. It's not going to happen.
Do you ever contribute anything meaningful?Quote:

Id say a lot, I know for sure even more support celtic(their own celtic as well as glasgow celtic :) ), but when it comes to the cruch they support THEIR LOCAL SOCCER club. Point being as Ive pointed out to so many LOI fans(most who seem to be supporters of Dublin clubs, for some reason?!) we do support our local clubs, unfortunately for you our local clubs are generally junior clubs, not LOI clubs some 45 miles away......not a ten minute bus ride on the 78a or the 19a....Quote:
