I'm not calling it the Aviva Stadium.
They can call it whatever gets them the most dosh but I'm not calling it anything other than Lansdowne Road.
I'm not playing ball ...unless they ask me to play ball in there in which case I probably would but couldn't promise -but that's down to recurrent tendonitis...
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Thought I hear on the radio this morning that Argentina are lined up as the first match ?
According to this anyway;

Will never ever call it by that silly name..
FAI... Make me wanna wretch..
€40 million off the stadium bill in a credit crunch. This is money that the FAI would have to find elsewhere. This is not a stadium that was called after Jimmy Dunne or Johnny Carey. It was called after a road in Dublin 4.
Happy to call it the Aviva stadium and glad they invested in Irish football (and rugby). I'll certainly be feeling very positive towards the company.
Great deal all round - they get name recognition as they try to establish the brand in the market and we get the cash to fund the development.
I really can't believe anybody would seriously consider turning this cash down for a stadium we used once before 1971.
I'll treat it the same as when I referred to "Home Farm", i.e. it's Lansdowne Road only.
The Hibernian would have sounded better. Surely? It's not too late to change!
