walk up to him when he gets off the team bus and say

"hi fat ron,im from supermacs and i need you to sign this form to give you free burgers and shakes while you are in ireland"l

i guarantee that will work

Best way is find out what hotel they are staying in.

Otherwise under the west stand either very early or after the game - only possible beforehand with a west stand ticket.

The guy comes onto ask a simple question and you give him abuse. If you've nothing good to say, say nothing at all.

I'd say your best bet to get the autograph is if you're in the west stand get down the front at least an hour before the game and the Brazil players maybe out. The Burlington maybe difficult to get into.

god some people are very touchy arent they !

Try throwing a few grand at the FAI and see if they'll let you play the last ten minutes!

only1kilbane · 12/02/2004, 4:41 PM

lee carsley and ian harte get paid to play for a few minutes so you have a chance! !

I know some autograph collector sin Dublin and they always head to the oppositions team hotel the afternoon/evening before a game or the day of the game.

I agree. We don't know the bloke's age and he could be a young lad who could be my replacement in a few years time on the away trips. Give him a break before he starts following rugger!

Speaking of which I'm still after a programme from the Australia game. No I haven't been to a home game for six years (last game Argentina so you could say I'm a bit of a big game punter), that's why I'm looking for a programme; I'm 38 so should know better; and you can make me an offer here or PM.

I've got a programme from that game.
Not sure I want to part with it though as I have a bit of a collection and I'm much younger than you so it has plenty time to grow into something quite impressive

If you want programmes from any games just let me know beforehand and I'll get you one and post it over.

Cheers Peadar. I've got a contact at the FAI now so this won't happen again. Used to be programme dealers in England had them but they've dropped them now. Aussie programme looks like a rare one for some reason . Obviously don't want/nor expect anyone to part with their own but sometimes people have spares.
