Subject: RE: BS: United Ireland (In Association Football)
I am sorry I have to make an apology to the Scottish Third Division,they don`t deserve the pick of any of the two excuses for footballers from either side of the Irish border. I have just seen the Republic team defeating San Marino 2-1 in last few seconds, in the European Championship, with a team which includes the local Butcher, Baker and Candlestick maker,this San Marino side are 159 in the World football rankings.
This display by an Irish team which includes professionals from the English Premier League was a disgrace, Beachcomber you will have a long wait on this team coming good,also the sick counties sides drawn game with Wales was another dismal flop.
Dublin v Tyrone had more excitement and entertainment in the first two minutes than the two Soccer games had in 180 minutes, and GAA politically driven?, what here in the north? get a grip, our Gaelic games are snow white compared to the two pathetic soccer associations, ask Arnold Byrne were the million and a half World Cup money vanished to, we have the greatest amateur sports set-up in the world and begrudgers will never change that.
