Good luck to the Republic!

Luke Kelly.

Legend.

Thank you Shen

All wind ups aside good luck to NI in the future and may the IFA think about development ahead of money from here on in.

Jeez Shen, i was getting sentimental enough about matches of yore, without you sending me into a nostalgic misty eyed stupor.
Reminds me of bringing the neighbours hunting dogs for their daily gallop in the grounds of St Philomenas girls school.Those grounds arelong sold off/built on , but more importantly, the school is now St Raphaelas, because they discovered, belatedly, that there never was a St. Philomena.
As for Luke Kelly, i have an uncle, a talented musician, who sat in with Luke n the rest on a particularly poignant song. He married a Portadown woman.Her "discussions" with an uncle who was" invited" to leave his employment in Shorts made for lively debate at family xmas get togethers.
Echoing what Gibbo said, allthe best to Mr. Michael O Neill and his squad in the future.

MILLMAN:
Actually, I regard Luke Kelly as one of the best folk singers of all time! His rendering of the Scots song, "Come all ye tramps and hawkers"(see youtube), is one of my all time favourites. Like so many Irish geniuses, musical or otherwise, North or South, he died far too young. But then hes a legend, isnt he? And they never die!

You'll have to calm yourself Miller. We are relying on you boys to keep your heads and do the whole country proud! Its only hours or minutes away now, depending on where you are in this great old crazy World!

If it helps, I was in on an AFP interview with Trapp yesterday about ROI's chances. Now Im not Trapp's biggest fan, but I have to say I was very impressed by the man. He was not the least like I expected him to be..He had good presence and came across as highly intelligent, extremely knowledgable, very calm, hugely determined and totally ruthless. I found myself thinking, "I might just be wrong about this guy". Not the sort of man you would like to bet against. GOOD LUCK TO THE MEN IN GREEN!

"Its only hours or minuutes away now depending where you are in this great old crazy World" >>>>>>>>>>>>> Sorry, yes Ive had a few. What I meant to convey was that people will all be watching it at different times depending on where they are around the World. For instance, friends of mine will be watching it in the early morning in the Far East.

GOOD LUCK TO OUR COUSINS THE REPUBLIC AS THEY KICK OFF THEIR EURO FINALS CAMPAIGN TONIGHT!

Reiver, i wouldn't have passed the field sobriety test myself, batterin on about my childhood as i did.
Midland, i think you might be surprised to know that there were three servicemen, local lads, at our local on Xmas Eve, two of whom had been injured " in country", on H.R.H. service
