    I'm not having a go at Malonel one of the best writers on soccer in the country, but at the IT for the coverage it gives the league compared to the coverage it gives that boil on the ars.e of Irish soccer, SundIRELand, as they are branding themselves

    It's a newspaper, not some charity loi promotional sheet.

    There are more people in Cork interested in Sunderland then there are people in Ireland interested in the League of Ireland.

    That's not the Irish Times fault.

    Maybe, but it's not a charity sunderland promotional sheet either.

    I doubt that the Sunderland column adds anything to the IT circulation numbers and interest manifests itself in a number of ways. I'm interested in Sunderland in that I can hardly wait for it to blow up in their mockya Oirish faces, I hope they're in the Blue Square League within five years with Niall Quinn and Roy Keane participating in 'I'm a celebrity...get me out of here'. After getting a nation to swallow his theory that Sunderland is a home from home for Irish people, he'd have the neccessary skills to swallow kangaroo testicles I'd say.

    Why is it there then??

    I'll bet you it's not because the Irish Times hates the League of Ireland.

    I'd say it is, everyone knows that Geraldine Kennedy had her heart broken by Roddy Collins back in the 80's, Kevin Myers only got the boot when he came out of the closet as a UCD fan.

    I just don't see anybody, regardless of how much they've bought into Quinn's spiel going out and specifically buying the Irish Times just to read a column on Sunderland. The sad thing is that a huge number of newspapers give a disproportionate amount of coverage to the mackems, I feel sorry for their "fans" who will be starved of news after Keane leaves.

    Maybe the LOI had real interest like that we could get more exposure in the media.

    I also check Sunderland results to see them lose.

    In the 'new' civil war in 2002 I was in the Keane camp. I hope he lands on his hole and brings Sunderland with him. I never said the IT was a promo sheet for the LOI, but maybe if the media gave more exposure to our own league than one inhabited by petulant millionaires who nearly crash their carsover 'only' being offered €40k a week, then more people here would be interested in a league which has give the world the likes of Paul McGrath, Ronnie Whelan, Keane and, more recently, Kevin Doyle, to list just four examples

    Rule 34 suggests there's probably some slash porn about it on the internet. I dare you to find it.

    Scary thought. Something tells me that tiktok was jokin. If anyone finds a video where Roddy says "I had her in England" then that'd be proof.
