    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    You all got to watch Sunderland FC ??

    Doesn't surprise me really, what with Gretna being just a small townland in England, and your football team confused as to whether they're English or Scottish. Makes sense to watch an English club with potential then I guess....

    Don't know, but I can tell you that 99% of their 'fans' have only coped on to the fact that their town actually had a football team, and started following it, when Mr Milson started pumping alot of cash into it.

    Correction - 99.999% of their supposed fans only copped on to the fact that their townland (it's not even a village ffs - it's officially smaller than that...! ) had a team when they got to the Scottish Cup Final.

    One thing that cheers me up is the fact that most English fans see Irish wannabes at their clubs as pathetic losers. They laugh behind their backs as they take gullible Paddy's money.
