Absolutely correct. Even most LOI players also have a foreign club that they follow. You'll often see their preferences revealed on twitter. Astonishing amount of LOI player Liverpool fans, going by my less than scientific survey...

I can see you're trying to make a point but you're just being ridiculous now. Nobody says anything like that.
Cool, thanks. Public please, just "did you start off supporting a LOI team or an EPL/overseas team?" Something simple like that, just out of curiosity.
Irish barstoolers are really going to have up their game with some epic sycophancy at the Dublin Decider if they want to compete internationally: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23341088
Precisely. I've a lot of close friends who block my posts and invites on Facebook because I'm constantly onto them about going to Harps matches...to no avail.
Nothing would make me happier than to see all my Man Utd and Liverpool and Celtic friends all regulars at Finn Park. They don't even have to become any sort of 'superfan', but just to see a bit of live football.
Point taken on the latter, not the former.Quote:

The problems in the LOI, are often the club's own making.
The sight of grown men jizzing themselves all over Ole and wanting to get a photo with the man, made me physically sick.
I notice today the forum is being blitzed by MUTV ads....conspiracy I tell ya :)
It's a pity the Aviva only holds 50,000

Was it billed as the Melbourne decider?
Holy feck, tearing out my hair at the stupidity of a friend of mine, who is absolutely adamant that Harps wouldn't even beat a Donegal League team. That the Donegal League is of a higher standard than the League of Ireland First Division.
The Donegal League....which isn't even anywhere near the best junior league in the country.
Things like that are quite common. I remember reading some journal.ie comments (I know, my own stupidity) when Darren O'Dea signed for Metalurh lamenting him signing for a side in a useless league, "is there not some League of Ireland team that would sign him?" Nevermind that the Ukrainian champions trounced European champions Chelsea in the Champions League last season, to them it's not a league they've heard of so it's useless.
