It is.
It will be shown next year.
It might be next year. This year it isn't.Quote:

Still, enjoy your bulbs!
Or a financial god-send, depending on your view :DQuote:

There is a good article in todays independent by vincent hogan, just read it on the plane back to london this morning. Dont know if its on the website though.
ya, thats it, i particularly like these two columns:
"This isn't called devotion to a team. It is enslavement to a brand. All those baby-soap complexions peering out the windows of the Liverpool team bus last week pretty much represented just the recreational arm of a great conglomerate. "
"If anything, the timing headlined the strangeness of it all. On the day 'Liverpool' came to Dunmanway, Cork City just about side-stepped a Revenue winding-up order over tax liabilities and St Patrick's Athletic secured a remarkable European victory in Russia. "
Perhaps they could at least, have had the game in Turners cross, pay in and a percentage to both;)
Letter in the Guardian's fiver on Friday
(The Fiver use the euphemisim Big Vase for UEFA cup)Quote:
"Maybe all these gaelic games fans writing in from Ireland looking for a football fix (Fiver letters passim) might like to comment on St Patrick's Athletic's Big Vase success in Russia last night? Didn't think so. They're probably too busy studying the TV schedule for the upcoming Premier League season"
Im assuming thats from a pats fan is it?
You posted that on the co-ef thread already i think?!
heheheheheQuote:

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere

but Rafa Benitez and his boys were in Sweden on pre-season chores.
Anyone with even a passing interest in the club would have been aware of that.

My point was any revenue generated would go to the Munster FA, not Cork City FC.Quote:

If we all emailed BBC Sports Department, ITV Sports and Sky Sports asking could they broadcast the St Pats game because our national broadcaster refuses to then maybe, just maybe....
I know what you're all saying "What a daft idea". I know it is. Nearly as daft as someone from Dunmamway contacting Liverpool FC etc etc etc......
