    Not Alpine football. The competition is on a regular basis, with 16 teams, coming from over 70 nationalities - but always the venue is the same.

    It's the Clericus Cup, basically a Catholic World Cup. Blue means 5 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct.

    <applause> All yours Willy. This is a competition which takes place in the Vatican every year - it features priests from the colleges in Rome, seminarians, and some players from the Vatican team (which Giovanni Trappatoni coached for a while). The Swiss element is obvious, namely that members of the Swiss Guard play as well - they would be the only ones with family there. The crowd - made up of lively priests in training were, apparently so raucous and loud that neighbourhood complaints brought an end to tambourines, drums and flares. As you say the ref. can use a third card, namely blue, meaning 5 mins. in the sin bin. Take it away.

    He scored a goal, got an assist, scored an own goal, and picked up a yellow card - all in the same Premier League match. Who is he?

    Steven Caulker, remember him, wonder where he is these days? Certainly capable of that scoring feat.

    Yes, I spent 10 very pleasant years there, full of great half mad characters, Donegal’s only border with the rest of the Republic.
    During a previous World Cup ( Korea/Japan) an old boy was telling me how “they don’t give a **** about us here in North Leitrim” when he found that the timing of a particular game didn’t suit him.
