Isn't the difference then that you're much older than Marty and were actually around at the time?

Dunno, I forget.

Is there anyone left that Pat Fenlon is not p***ed off with?
It sounds like he will speak to anyone, anywhere in Europe, except for Trap and about 500 others on his hate list
http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...e-1784796.htmlAsked if he would be seeking some advice from Trapattoni, Fenlon said: "No, I won't be. We'll prepare the way we normally prepare when we go into Europe. Hendo (scout Dave Henderson) will go and watch them and we'll speak to other people around Europe and see what we can pick up.
"I've spoken to the man (Trapattoni) once when I had the Ireland U-23 job, but that was it. I haven't spoken to him since."
I have posted the following under "Bohs exceeding 65%" thread, before realising that thread is now hived off to the Bohemian club section.
Excuse me for repeating it here in the hope that it may get a wider audience and consquently more feedback (thanks to HarpoJoyce for shedding some light on this aleady)
Financial Implications of Salzburg draw for Bohs?
What are the financial implications for Bohs of this draw, and in particular their ability to get under the 65% limit?
Aidan Fitzmaurice in yesterdays Evening Herald Mondays states that €500,000 is on offer to Bohs to make it past the first hurdle.
Obviously there is gate receipts and ancillary advertising/sponsorship, plus the possibility of good TV rights revenue, but this hardly amounts to this figure. Is there any further prize money available for progressing?
On the subject of reducing costs Pat Fenlon is adamant that he is only interested in his players being transferred abroad.
Presumably, apart from the possibility of getting transfer fees, this would allow him the best of both worlds - keep all his squad for the Salzburg matches, and then reduce his wage bill by off-loading abroad in late July.
But if the financial rewards are as high as the €500,000 claimed, perhaps all 65% rule problems are solved by winning the tie?

"If we need to sell players it's a case of trying to get as much as we can for them. Certainly, the players won't be leaving to go to clubs in this country on the cheap. That's for certain. If players have to go outside the country and we don't get the fees we demand, that's something we've got to look at. But it's a situation we're in that we have just got to deal with," he addedhttp://www.herald.ie/sport/soccer/fe...s-1783597.htmlQuote:
Bohs fans were today making their travel plans for the first game in the Champions League, and with €500,000 on offer to Bohs if they can make it past the first hurdle in Europe, Fenlon admits there is pressure on him and his players to progress.

Getting through would be worth a lot to Bohs as it would guarantee them at least another two ties in Europe (one in CL, one in Europa).
Dunno if they'd make 500k, but I don't think it'll happen anyway.
