Thanks for your "guidence," champ. Glad you came along and sorted the whole mess out. I can't believe how blind we've all been; it's like someone's come along and thrown the blinding, searing light of truth on the LOI.
I, and indeed we, as a forum, truly appreciate your help.
You're right, smasher is for sure the saviour of Irish football.
We'd better watch someone doesn't nail him to a tree.
Any word on last nights attendance?
Cheers for that.
