I was rather hoping that City would look a bit vulnerable.Quote:

Ahh, but we expect to get gubbed (as does most of the football world) so if we don't get gubbed it will seem like a moral victoryQuote:

My father retains an affection for Shamrock Rovers, since a group of their players once prevented him from getting a kicking after he drunkenly drove his car into the stationary vehicle of a courting couple near their ground.Quote:

p.e. Eoin Hand has just had his book published, a decent read of a different era by all accounts.
He was indeed - player manager as well. Gone off them by then. Will look out for the Hand book (see what I did there) - sounds intriguingQuote:
