Yeah, the residents of a small co. louth town north of Drogheda keep taking them all, they specialised this season at leaving grounds early to gather ammunition for throwing at opposing fans as they leave the ground!! Second time round they had improved their tactics considerably, must be a decent school so!

Do you think they'll ever get it on the stand?

This story says everything that needs to be said about Dundalk's matchday security.

Sorry for being dense but what was the problem with the tree?

**passerrby** · 13/12/2006, 5:12 PM

It escaped from the town center in Westport and has been taken into custody. It's being held under the 'offenses against real Christmas trees act' of 1939. When asked to respond to said charges, it opined that it just wanted to branch out into different area's of the Country and the charges of treeson were false and that the truth, in due course, wood come out. The co-conspirator in this case , however, has admitted that he was just there to holly Byrne.

I believe he was impersonating a Special Branch

After the incident, staff opened the windows of the building to allow..... fumes to escape.

It does stink in FAI HQ alright.
