April Fools jokes

From today's Herald AM.

The IRFU last night announced that the Naming rights for the newly developed Landsdowne Rd have been purchased By BT in a 10 year Deal worth in excess of �100m. The Dublin 4 venue will be controversially renamed to British Telecom Park which is sure to raise more than a few eyebrows not least among joint tenant the FAI and their main sponsor's Eircom. The opening of BT park is scheduled to coincide with the first visit of HRH Queen ElizabethII of England and as part of the sponsorship HRH will be invited to offically open the stadium

Was this one or did this actually happen?

Two legends of Northern Ireland football have said the time may be right for an all-Ireland team.

Pat Jennings and Martin O'Neill were speaking at an event in Dublin to mark the last time an all-Ireland football team took to the field.

...Aston Villa manager O'Neill told the Irish Examiner the political climate had changed and an all-Ireland team was now a "possibility".

However, he added: "I don't know even at this stage if everyone would want it to happen.

...Jennings, who played a record 119 times for Northern Ireland, told the Daily Mail an all-Ireland team would have a better chance of qualifying and going further in competitions.

"You would have a better squad. If you have one or two injuries in key positions, none of us, north or south, could cope with that at the moment," he said."

BBC, Daily Mail and Irish Examiner are all quoting it? Sounds to good to be true, but its still up at 7pm...
