    Hello from Japan

    My name is Maiko, and I support Ireland.
    Hopefully someone remember a Japanese women who has worn Galway GAA jersey to follow Boys in Green since 2002.

    I got married and got a new family, a daughter called "Rio", so I couldn't travel last year.

    Next month I will go to Ireland and France to support Ireland with my husband and daughter, so I am looking forward to seeing many Ireland supporters again!

    Good luck with Ireland team!!

    Howya Maiko, of course I remember you. We've met several times over the last few years. The most recent being in Cardiff for the Wales match in November 2007. You brought your new husband to the game and then went to Spain for the Northern Ireland match. He is obviously very understanding to accept such a honeymoon...

    Hello Maiko. Just a question (excuse the ignorance). Why do you support Ireland? Is it because of the way we play our beautiful free flowing football game or are you a glory hunter who just jumps on the bandwagon to support the best team in International football (a bit like all those new Chelsea and United supporters that have sprung up in the last 15 years)?

    Either way your support is most welcome.

    Hello Maiko,

    Congratulations to both of you on the birth of your daughter.

    Good to hear from Galway Uniteds No. 1 supporter ! Last time we met you were with your husband in Cardiff.

    Hope to see you in Paris.

    PD (Ronan)

    Did she say Galway GAA jersey. If she was indeed in a GUFC shirt then she's done her homework and thats impressive.

    Maybe she got mixed up and was really going for a Westmeath Gaa shirt?

    Maiko, Hajimema****a! Airurando no ouen suru koto domo arigatou! Furansu wa tsuyoi dakara 11/14 to 11/18 no gemu wa taihen!

    How is the Japanese player called Robert Cullen doing in Japan? His father is from Northern Ireland and his mother is Japanese. He was Young Player of the Year in Japan in 2005 and has played for the Japan Under 20's team.

    Quit showing off, romagi would have done rightly.

    There you see, much easier to read.

    Has anyone alerted the IFA about this guy Cullen? maybe a Gibson could be done on him.

    I can see why you were looking an update there, a lot of saki has been downed between then and now.

    His star seem to be on the downward trajectory since the mid noughties, with appearances and goals diminishing year on year, only 3 sub appearances and no goals this year. Mind you the source also says that he is english so who knows.
