ground and club names - might take a bit of time to get through but agian, i'd have no problem renaming grounds and clubs which may be seen as offensive.

what have i missed?
You've missed the main one, the basic aim of the GAA from the first page of the guide, namely the promotion of a 32 county Ireland.

Would you hold a dislike to Discover Ireland for the same reason?  ::)

Some people need to realise there is no ocean between the north and south of ireland.

No doubt the IFA, well known Fenian-lovers that they are, are determined to make way for Donegal Celtic...

Was at the match thought it was an exciting game, end-to-end and although Celtic dominated most of the game Hibs had their chances and we needed big Artur to pull us out of one or two holes as usual.  Robson was fantastic as he has been since he got a run, Hartley did a very good job and McDonald worked tirelessly and caused them a lot of problems.  The quality of the delivery from set-plays from both Naka and Robson was amazing in its consistency and won the game in the end.

How shit is Ian Murray, cant believe he was quite highly-rated at a stage, when McGeady switched to the right he never even looked like making a tackle on him, then just game him the most blatant kick when he skinned him for the umpteenth time.  Always good to see an ex-hun getting the line at Celtic Park!

For the NI fans, I though Dixie Shiels was pretty good especially in the first ten minutes before Hartley got a bit tighter to him, does he get much football at Windsor Park?

4 Caps, according to wikipedia. This comes abit of a shock given some of the donkies who have got games for the north!

And Liverpool in Maik Taylor.

Where did you hear that one?

Might have been the Sunday Mirror or Saturday's Mirror. Can't remember which. Unlikely to have been either the Irish News or the Tribune which are the only two other possible sources.

The report said Benitez is looking for reliable back up to Pepe Reina. (Unlike Solomon, I think Taylor would unseat Claudio Reyna). It depends what Taylor wants at this stage of his career. More money, but less time on the pitch at Liverpool or a permanent fixture in the Championship. Besides, he started this season as number 2 to Doyle.

;D

First i've heard of liverpool having that clown on their books!

From wikipedia:

In English football, two-legged fixtures in the League Cup are only subject to the away goals rule after extra time; even if one team leads on away goals after 90 minutes of the second leg, extra time is played regardless.

The semi-finals of the promotion playoffs in the Football League, despite being two-legged, ceased to employ the away goals rule from 2000. As away goals scored in extra time counted double, the side finishing lower in the league gained an advantage by playing away in the 2nd leg, thus giving them 30 more minutes to score an away goal. The rescindment of the away goals rule has affected the results of several play-off semi-finals.

Here's hoping for the best tomorrow, but i just feel the team selection at Stamford Bridge has left it all hanging on a knife edge, when the reality is that we should already have won this.


Whos to say that Utd's best team would have got points at the bridge?

Come tomorrow night, the Premiership trophy will be in Manchester.
