They had 5 former Pats players in their squad last night and of them only Rogers was ever a key player for us. That shows the margins in quality between them and us (or anyone else in the league) are...

Football has existed long enough to have no shortage of legends but his impact on how the game is played at this exact moment in time is probably down to him more so than any other individual, which...
I'd want to avoid France as they're the hosts and Germany as we won't catch them on the hop again. Apart from that, we'll have a sporting chance no matter what group we're drawn in, so I wouldn't...
Much of a muchness really.
Sweden would be the least hostile away leg though.
I wouldn't say Madrid is representative of Spain either. Then again, I'd say the same about a few other places, esp. Bilbao and San Sebastián.
On the whole Spaniards are no more or less...
Btw, Barcelona is in no way representative of Spain - homophobia is rife in other parts of the country, and even though same sex marriage was legally recognised about 10 years ago, gay couples often...
Not eligible to vote, but would have voted yes without question.
I've lived in Barcelona for 8 years now and I remember when I first arrived being struck by the number of gay couples you'd see on...
Interesting team news for Shels.

We had a John Flood on a pay as you play deal. Don't know if ever made an appearance.
Spain has its fair share of cunts alright, and they're probably not evenly spread across the country. Personally, though, I've found the internal stereotyping of Spaniards to be fairly wide of the...
Plenty of Francoists in other parts of Spain, including Andalucia. The national day in Catilla y León meanwhile marks one of the first progressive revolutions against feudalism in the 1500's. The...
That's very steep. You'd get a decent 3-course meal in Valladolid for that price with a bottle of wine thrown in. €5 to see Barça B for some league games. It was €9 for some seats against Villarreal...
No mystery: by and large LoI players train part-time and play against fellow part-timers. Even after a couple of months in England we can't compare Hull's Brian Lenihan to Cork's Brian Lenihan. It's...
'No' for me. I think all nations should have the right to self-determination but what's on offer here is not "Independence" in any shape or form. They want to remain in the EU - condemning the...
Yugoslavia and the USSR were much more than a cut above this Georgia side, but McGeady's second was by far the better goal for me. He knew exactly what he wanted to do and he did it. His speed of...
Know-it-all.
Not to be a know-it-all, but Heary and Crowe were signed by Sean Connor and Byrne came via Cardiff.
It's definitely better to be a lucky manager than a good one.
We got Rodgers from Derry and Fitzer from Drogs. We took O'Neill, Harris and Ndo from that Shels side.
I'm not criticising the chap. We all know what an exceptional talent he is. We all know he does blow hot and cold - that wasn't a criticism, it was an observation - and we all make allowances for his...
Even if he has money to throw around he can't simply follow his Shels/Bohs blueprint of cherry picking the biggest names from rival clubs and expect success. In lots of cases the gap in ability...
