    I read on the OWC (NI) that he was a Catholic. Could be wrong though. But Baird certainly sounds like a "Presbyterian" surname. Wasn't Alan Kernaghan a Linfield supporter?

    Back to Roy Keane. Weren't Linfield going to sue him because of inaccurate comments he made about their anti-Catholic policies.

    He got the year they stopped practicing it wrong. Very libelous!

    I think Kerr shold approach all prospective players regardless of religion or political persuasion. Don't want anyone suggesting that he's discriminating.

    Nice one, Lopez. But didn't a few Catholics play for them back in the late 40's and early 50's.

    Yeah I think one of the Republic internationals of the era, Davy something or other, played for them. Like with Alex Stevenson of Rangers, I'm not altogether sure if he was RC though. Con Martin definitely played for Glentoran though I don't think they ever had a bar on RCs.

    As for the Linfield fan following Ireland? Not that Nesbitt bloke who's been shagging the 17 year old call girl then going home to tell how much he loves his wife.

    Davy Walsh was his name and he was from Waterford and he was Catholic. Alex Stevenson was a Protestant according to a book I read on the history of the Irish international side.

    Is it KM? Can't see him having 'words' with anyone he's so laid back. Only person I can think of as a. he's a product of 'love across the political divide' and b. he was shown in the dying minutes of the Spain game after the equaliser, but I'm sure he's not Linfield.

    Absolutely not! They just moved him to Monrovia instead.

    I see! Dav, you'd be able to get a ganjad up, pacifist-Bhuddist into an argument. Have you ever thought about tranquilisers?

    Back to K, he was telling me in Glasgow that he got a few nasty threats over his face being on TV in an Ireland shirt. Still, I'm sure as ourweefriends would say, 'it was only a bit o' craic!'
