Who will hold the brown paper envelopes during the game, Ollie Byrne?
The Football Association of Ireland today confirmed that an FAI/Media team would take on an Oireachtas team in a Charity Football match at 7.30pm in Dalymount Park on Wednesday next, 26th January in aid of GOAL’s Asian Relief Fund.
The match will be sponsored by A & L Goodbody and Brian Kerr and Noel O’Reilly will act as Managers.
Both teams are expected to include some celebrity guest players and An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern TD has confirmed that he will officially kick off the game.
Further fundraising activities will take place around Ireland’s friendly International against Portugal at Lansdowne Road on 9th February with an eventual target of ˆ100,000 to be raised by then.

Wonder how long Bertie will last

Hehe this will be good craic. Mary Hearney in goals - nothing will get past her!
I can just see it now, any eL fans at the match will realise that they have no-one on the field to cheer on.
Anyone any idea of the possible teams?
I'm guessing that Michael McDowell will be right back and Joe Higgins will be out wide on the left wing, Bertie and Enda Kenny floating somewhere in the middle. Jackie Healy Rae will be in goals, standing in the way of any change in the score of things.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

Dont see Bertie's name there, he was meant to start.He must of pulled a muscle in all his big training sessions, preparing for the match

The final score, in today's star.

Bertie was there but he didn't play.
Bit like him at certain meetings in the late 1980s with certain "business men"
