If we all emailed BBC Sports Department, ITV Sports and Sky Sports asking could they broadcast the St Pats game because our national broadcaster refuses to then maybe, just maybe....
I know what you're all saying "What a daft idea". I know it is. Nearly as daft as someone from Dunmamway contacting Liverpool FC etc etc etc......

You never know, there is alot of Romanians living in the British and Irish isle that just might consider it

Why do RT� waste their time and money covering minnows like those fellas in Limerick tonight? Surely the public would rather see Irish teams excelling on the international stage like Pat's.

I'm fairly sure the FayeDunnaway game was to open their stadium though.

In which case, it would be strange to officially mark the opening of your stadium with a game 30miles away. At a different stadium.

Am I wrong in saying the Champions League game will be on a Tuesday or Wednesday and the Europa League game will be on a Thursday? So why are people talking about showing CL game instead of a EL even though they wont be on the same night?

That's for sure - Romania has Slovakia and Hungary between it and Czech Rep, and Moldova and Ukraine between it and Russia.

I know what you meant comrade - it's that they're all foreign !

And we know what these 'forrin' types are like. They all stick up for each other and will have one over on our boys quick as a flash.

I don't even know why we play in Europe with these filthy forrin types. You can't trust any of them. It's bad enough having to go to Donegal to play, let alone all the way to Romylvania....
