    World Cup is coming home

    I see in todays paper that the WC trophy will be in Ireland for three days in early April. Free tickets are to be distributed to get your photo taken with the trophy and various members of the 1990 and 1994 Irish teams. No details on how to secure the tickets just yet.

    That's moral compensation, the FAI way

    Credit where it's due - it's the FIFA way - they brought it so kindly to Ireland as the moral compensation.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Ya remember talking to loads of lads in Bari who had done the same. Spend too much time drinking peroni over there so missed out myself.

    Apparently the photoshoot with the ex players is taking place in merrion house on sunday april 4th. Not sure how to get the free tickets just yet.
