...right lads you have a time machine and can travel into the past ....which sporting event would you have like to have been at?

Forget about the GAA....we would have all liked to have been in Hayes Hotel in 1884 or in Croker in 1960 or the Polo Grounds in 1947....agus araile

For me the 1970 World Cup Final ...Brazil V Italy...or one of the Lions test games V the Springboks in 1974....the 99 call series.

Yea probably fight wise that was better, but back in '76 you could have put a heavy word on adrian before rocky got his feet under the table!

Scientifically speaking, it would be easier to build a time machine to go forward in time.

So i'm headin to Old Trafford on Saturday 16 May to see Man Utd beat Arsenal and win an 18th league title, which will hopefully shut the Liverpool fans up for a while....

Then i'm going to September 2035 to see my son score 3-10 to guide Fermanagh to their twentieth all-ireland title....
