Return to Tea at Halftime

**R�iteoir** · 05/10/2007, 4:55 PM

72.6% of all eircom League clubs want to ditch coffee and return to serving tea to their guests in the hospitality areas on matchnights.

The punters aren't being lured in by the offer of a cup of hot coffee - they'd much rather head to the bar for a pint.

I know this all as fact - so there's no denying it

BRING BACK TEA - DON'T LET THE COFFEE BRIGADE WIN!

And as for the quality of biscuits on offer - they were much better back in the days when we had chocolate digestives.

I'll bet your sources are very private also.......

But our reputation with the Europeans has improved so much since we moved to coffee.

if you don't have a teapot inside the ground you'll be thrown out of the league.

no room in this league for beans

It is understood that teabags will not be permitted, rather, the traditional loose leaf must be used or fines will ensue.

I've also been passed information that Sligo will be allowed, for the first time ever, to stock cans of a new hot drink called "Cop On".

The Minister of Misinformation at the Showgrounds, a Mr Roger Tauder, was found foaming at the mouth muttering about "the Winter" at such a prospect

Do you think UCD can afford such frivolous expenditure such as tea or coffee? What's the point in us having a tea pot when we don't have the sufficient crowds to make it commercially viable? We're plodding along nicely without one. It's that kind of largesse that will see you all go bust and us win the league.

It'll be a whole lot worse if Starbucks parked up a van outside the Flansiro say. I'll have a chocha mocha lochachino skinny latte please.

Mick Wallace says he'll be damned if anything other than the finest espressos are sold in Wexford from the machine he flies in from Turin every week. He hopes to bring an Italian influence to Irish coffee drinking and it helps him see a strong resemblence between the Youth's ground and the Del Alpi.

Oh, this is just asking for trouble. Sligo are bound to get fined for using the wrong colour tea.

Actually the Italian guy at Wexford Youths Complex makes a great coffee.

Was it not for the graphic of the teapot on the DVD Cover?

I was of the view that we in the Eircom League Of Ireland should be establishing a pluralist society, where tea and coffee drinkers can live in harmony, world without end amen! Speaking as one who has witnessed more than 1,000 games of football at all levels some have required a half time cup of strong coffee to keep one awake. They have been in the minority thankfully enough.
