    The media here (ROI) use the term football in relation to Gaelic football.

    Association football is always referred to as soccer, a 'foreign' game when I was at school, wasn't even allowed at my school. Seems like such a long time ago, and it was.

    Same here, we weren't allowed to play the game at school.

    That's why Croke Park was only ever used for Gaelic games as well...

    Yes Sooper, there was huge resistance to allowing Ireland play their World Cup qualifiers there a couple of years ago when Lansdowne Road was being redeveloped. Feelings run high as I'm sure you know, having spent some time here.

    It was Widnes, another rugby league stronghold, where he wrote 'Homeward Bound' in the station waiting room...

    Always thought it was Wigan. A quick browse through Google suggests you could be right BUT then again the whole idea of him writing it at any railway station could be a total myth. How sad. These internet cynics will be telling us there's no such thing as Santa and the Tooth Fairy next!
