That....wasn't really my point...

I know your point precisely. They are getting �1,000. You can cry they're getting taxed so the tax-home is not �1,000. As the old saying goes, "taxes and death and the only two certainties in life".

If you get €40k per annum from your job. Go into your bosses office and argue you don't get paid €40k per annum because you get taxed so it shouldn't be in your contract you get paid €40k per annum when you don't go home with that amount and see how quickly you get laughed out of the office.

The FAI, or Endemol Sports, whoever, are parting with €1,000 to the players individually. Tax, blah, blah, they're getting paid €1,000.

And if they hadn't gone and put in showers for one of the teams then the loi players could have been paid twice as much - before tax.

i hope RICO takes all the marbles and dobbers out of his mouth before pre match talks,or no one will understand him; on the plus side maybe it would be better if they dont.

Any stadium that doesnt have adequate shower facilities can not be called top class!

It has adequate shower facilities for Home and Away and Away teams. Easily covers Celtic, City and Inter in that case.

I hear that before the game they'll have to turn to Delaney, salute him and in unison say: Those who are about to die salute you.

They are getting 1,000, the presumption from the article quoted earlier being that it will be taxed at the higher rate of tax(and therefore they have earnings of at least 32k a year) so they will actually get 480 euro net.

The second offer wasnt a massive improvement on the first.

That's assuming the FAI deduct tax at source. Perhaps the players have a contract for service that might enable them to reduce the tax liability using expenses (50c for the electricity meter in Wanderers, €1.65 for the bus there, 99c for a bottle of shower gel, €40 for a can of petrol and a taxi to FAI HQ...).

Biggest TV audience ever for an Airtricity team. The game is been shown all over the world (but incredibly Sky are not showing it).

I was first in line at the traffic lights beside Eircom HQ near Heuston. And 3 lads walked by wearing Celtic jerseys. It was fierce tempting...

The stadium looks as full as the Wales v Northern Ireland game!

Cringing with having to listen to all the pathetic little slime that are booing every time Weiss gets on the ball.

"The crowd here is not big but there is heartening support for the LoI team. Perhaps last year's shame has had some positive effects after all."
From extratime.ie, that's one good sign anyway

How bad is Zayed? Otherwise, pretty good performance so far.
