Real Madrid for Tallafornia

**passinginterest** · 14/07/2009, 1:44 PM

Any chance it might be moved to Croke Park to accommodate all the poor screaming teenage girleens dying to see Ronaldo?

**Schumi** · 14/07/2009, 1:46 PM

Have RTE looked for the rights?

**thischarmingman** · 14/07/2009, 2:15 PM

When are the tickets out?

Why don't RTE have it? Thats ridiculous, typical of them not to have an Irish team playing in Europe on tv

Presumably Sky Sports reaches a wider European audience than RTÉ, and so pays more?

**Longfordian** · 14/07/2009, 4:03 PM

Is Ronaldo in the squad lads?.

**pineapple stu** · 14/07/2009, 4:06 PM

Yes, but Kaka's not. Resting after the Confed Cup.

They're not really playing in Europe; they are playing a friendly against a big team. Sky got the rights, no need to get upset.

It was a joke, apologies if the sarcasm detector wasn't working

Well yeah, maybe on the RTÉ, but the Kaka story was in the papers today, so I said I'd throw it out.

The Real Madrid webiste haven't bothered to do any research anyway. Here's a little gem from their Day 1 report in Carton House...

"Although football takes a back seat to rugby and cricket in Ireland, dozens of fans also showed up hoping to get an autograph and greet their favorite players."

Although, with people like Platinum One running this show it's no wonder they don't know about the LoI or that football is the top participation sport in the country.

You should know by now that sarcasm doesn't work that well on the internet. I read De Town's previous post and putting the two together I honestly didn't think that he was trying to be sarcastic.

Good craic reading back on this thread. Not the usual pro-Rovers/anti-Rovers nonsense which was embarrassing for both sides, but the genius who reckoned Gary Twigg was a terrible investment by Rovers.

**BonnieShels** · 06/10/2014, 9:01 AM

Resurrecting old threads?

I see a lot of TOWK in you Charlie.
