Jim,

If you're new around here then Welcome.

It's not always this bad around here but for some reason if anybody mentions Ireland, Irish, Scotland, Scotish, Celtic or Gaelic around here the this obnoxious anonymous guest appears and tries to start a row. Usually some of us are silly enough to respond to the nonsense and we get into useless mud-slinging.

By the way Ard, you're slipping up there a chara ghael. A sliothar is the small ball (hurling)- a football is a caid or a peil, but I'm sure you knew that.
