    QPR arrive in Ireland for their pre-season training camp

    Good to see Adel there in the mix, with photos & autographs and joining the pool party.

    I didn't recognise any of the welcoming party.

    Looking forward to see the team in action. Somebody said elsewhere that Remy is arriving here on Sunday.

    Could be some negative press coming the teams way over there, our Joey has just called God a C**T. Not the best thing to say in such devout country.

    Not too sure that still applies L.R.

    The vast majority of younger people in this country have no interest in religion. Older people still have some but a lot of them were put off by the various scandals. Ireland has moved on considerably since the 50's.

    They needed a pool session to recover from the journey.......it's less than a bloody hour by plane from Heathrow and half hour or so on a coach to Carton House......

    Still good that they are here, looking forward to tomorrow in Tallaght.....

    Totally Agree with Finglas......Irish view on religion is polar to what it was >10-15 years ago.

    Just don't tell me what to do. And stop killing people who have a different belief system is all I'm saying. That too much to ask?

    If you choose to live that way and dedicate your life to that choice, then I hope you have a glorious time.

    Also don't tell me I'm going somewhere none of you believers have ever been. Nobody you have every known has been and you have no proof of.

    If you choose to believe in a God or multiple Gods that is your prerogative. Just don't tell me I'm wrong when I don't believe what you do.

    Ask yourself would a sane person, free of religious indoctrination do this to innocent children?

    It is about 150 yards from the pub to the Luas and about 200 yards from the luas to the ground.

    I just did a little research into Luas and it looks like a really neat transit system.

    Luas tram at Sandyford terminus near to Galloping Green, Leopardstown, Sandyford and Stillorgan, Dublin, Ireland

    Luas tram at Sandyford terminus

    Luas is Dublin's tram. There are two lines: the Red line runs from Connolly Station to Tallaght and the Green line from St Stephen's Green to Sandyford. Luas is Irish for speed, but I wonder if it is also an acronym of Light Urban ----- System, on the analogy of Dart - Dublin Area Rapid Transport? Maybe someone knows.

    Now which stop would Swords get on at if he was going to join you for the match at Tallaght?

    It's a cracking tram system Kilburn, resonably inexpensive, punctual....Dublin City Council is in the process of joining up the 2 lines so it is fully intergrated.......then they just need to extend it to the Airport........

    I was more worried that some of the Irish would mistake him for a leprechaun in disguise :D

    Little known fact: whenever Shaun Wright-Phillips scores the game winner, a Leprechaun gets his wings. #CFCvQPR

    SHAUN WRIGHT-PHILLIPS: LAST OF A KIND


    "For a lad so diminutive, even the tenuous but slightly overworked link to ex-Arsenal legend Ian Wright would not have been of any great assistance, if this tiny man could not persuade Those That Know that being as tall as a leprechaun is not necessarily a deterrent to playing top flight football. There were certainly many who doubted in those early days. Kenny Dalglish and Alex Ferguson are living proof that the football gene pool does not always leap successfully from one generation to the next."
