Ok, actually that is pedantic.
Ollie is like any other pro footballer, trying to make the most of his relatively short career and get the best deal he can for himself. That's business. I can't fault him for that.
Have Boot Disk, will travel

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

Go n-éírí leat is definately good luck. Roughly translated it means "may you succeed".
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Whats your sister like Peter ??Originally posted by Peadar

Do she ... amhh .... give grinds
I am only kidding around here aswell ...... unless she is free Saturday night.

Go n-éirí on bóthar leat... is "May the road rise with you", excuse me but why wish an uphill struggle to anyone?
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'

It's taken from an old Irish blessing.Originally posted by Ruairi

Here it is in English;
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
You wish that the road rises up to meet their feet and make it an easier journey.Originally posted by PAURO 7

I accept that many of you have heard it used and used it yourself as a way of wishing good luck. I just didn't know that prior to this thread. You learn something new every day.
