    Zero.

    however if you are on the ball you might get one of them like the other Irish people in Paris or French people living here.

    A French address or a French colleague/friend living here writing in French will help. Munster rugby fans have been on to this trick for years.

    Local newspaper in Kildare does a straw poll. Very interesting comments from some of the GAA clubs in the county. See here
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    If Croker is opened up....the drink will be flowing:

    ALCOHOL will be available to all fans inside the gates of Croke Park come this summer's Championship, if the stadium is successful in its latest planning application.

    The no drink at football games is a UEFA thing.
    There's always beer at Lansdowne Road for the rugby but never for the football.
    Manys the day I was toasted leaving Croker after a Hurling game.
    There wont be alcoholic beer at football games, regardless of the venue.

    At Lansdowne Road there is, but not in the game. There's a bar in a big tent behind the East Stand but you can't bring a pint into the stand.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    You can't bring your pint to your seat in Croker either.
    Usually end up watching the game out the window.

    You could have mentioned this before I went to Paris and got stung for a round inside the ground
    Where am I now? I'm over here,
    I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.

    Ha ha ha.

    I laughed even harder at Basel when someone announced that the beer was alcohol free and everyone just spilled their beer down the steps in disgust.
