    Club or Country?

    Just wondering what the general EL fan puts first. Example: If Ireland and your EL team were playing at the same time on the same day...who would you choose?

    For me, it'll always be club before country, no question about it.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    I would out of necessary conversation the following day politely inquire whilst coming home from the match about how Ireland did.
    The Model Club

    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.

    Club first, though hasn't always been the way.

    The FAI have successfulyl converted me to club over country in recent years. If they keep working any harder, they may even get me to stop bothering to support Ireland altogether....

    Country is very important.
    What really intrigues me is why some people support other non-national clubs when they are playing Ireland - strkes me as the remnants of an old colonial inferiority complex.

    Support Ireland???

    In rugby - Yes.

    In cricket - Yes.

    But in soccer..... don't make me laugh. Why would anybody be remotely interested in supporting the woefully incompetent Delaney/Staunton regime???

    How long until the games cannot be held on the same day, as the same pool of players are used for both games?

    For me, it would be club first, bar after. Country in there somewhere.

    Well there should not be a clash I believe it's against the rules however, if I had to choose it would be UCD. The club has been much more ''my'' club than Ireland has been ''my'' team. I only one current senior international player and that's because his uncle used to be the Coach of UCD , and I met the player concerned because I knew his uncle, at an FAI Awards do that both of them attended a few years ago.

    The Irish women's team because of my experience of being involved in the admin side of Women's Soccer for years is much more
    '' my '' team than the Senior men's team will ever be.

    I'd rather Rovers beat Bohs than Ireland winning the World Cup, and I'd like to think most Bohs fans would rather beat us than Ireland winning the WC
    False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.
