Apologies lads I meant Pineapple Stu said. Muchos apologeticos.
Apparently its too dear to get the alcohol license or something. Funny thing is the crowds would probably double if there was a bar there.

Not really an Urban myth but I always kind of cringe whenever I hear " Such & such had a spell at Liverpool or Man Utd etc". If you can count spending 4 hours a day shining the first teams boots & popping out to the Chippy to get a burger for the Youth team coach "A spell".

Also any current LOI player when they are referred to as an "Irish International".

It's called "Freedom of Speech" ...

Not to get into this stupid little fight, but freedom of speech applies to his post as much as your sig. Get over it and stop ****ing up the thread for everyone.

Father Dougal: Didn't you once say that Father Jack had a trial for Liverpool?
Father Ted: No... no, he was on trial, in Liverpool.

Was he the junkie who was arrested, panicked and gave Geoghegan's name as he was the only person he knew working with phones??

Anyway, one I heard years ago was former Shels defender Henry McKop (1995-96) was arrested on drug charges and deported!

Have an Urban Legend with a twist.

Derry City were funded by the IRA. As I was told by a Drogs fan many moons.

Which would mean they are part funded by Roy Keane who gives 20% of his wages to the IRA. So I was told by a Cork City fan.

Have any Derry fans heard that one?

That's true: we used to play in red and white balaclavas, our team meetings were held in country pubs and our ground was P. O'Neill Park.

I thought it was a classic! Talk about putting 1+1 together and getting 20.

Wasn't there an ex-Pat's player shot dead in Amsterdam a few years ago? Derek Dunne or something like that.

The Geoghegan story was great! It was brilliant to hear the opposition fans singing "Geoghegan robs the phones" and I remember even at one stage that a Rovers fan (I think) threw his phone at him!!! :D

Any chance one of the mods could delete all the garbage from this thread because some of it is quite enjoyable.
