    Another American Tourist

    Hello All.

    I'm typing this from my home in the USA, and I'd like to let y'all know that my wife and I will be in Ireland for two weeks in May.

    Thedeal we've made is that I'll ride a horse with her if she'll attend a soccer match with me. Pretty fair, don't you think?

    The basic idea of this trip will take us from Dublin to Cos. Sligo and Donegal and back.

    And if anyone has a need for a 35-year old goalkeeper for a pick-up game, let me know. Looks are deceiving, and I can stop my share.

    I also recommend anyone looking into the team I work for, the Richmond Kickers. Check 'em out

    OK, since I'm taking a load of heat over the Iraq thingy...I wanted to dissect the fixture (over here, we say "schedule", but hey, it's no big deal)

    here's the possible games that Mrs. Kickeroo and I could possibly attend, based on the itinerary we've created:

    If played on or bewteen 10-12 May:

    Premeire:
    St. Patrick's Athletic v Shelbourne @ Richmond Park
    or
    U.C.D. v Bray Wanderers @ Belfield Park

    First Division
    May 12th (definite)

    Dublin City v Kildare County @ Whitehall

    May 17th

    Sligo Rovers v Finn Harps @ Showgrounds

    May 20th

    Shelbourne vs. Dublin City @ um...somewhere north of Dublin.

    Thanks again, everyone for the help.

    stick to premier for your own sake........... St Pats V Shels i guess.


    If it has to be a Dublin team(and not Cork) try for a bohemians match.

    I'll grudgingly concede they are the best team at the moment( Just ahead of cork city)

    Actually Pablo, I thought that was great cuz I myself have had problems reading your fixtures and when I asked for help no one took me seriously...I think. So what up with the games in the fall?
