Mr Boola Irish Soccer isint sport we are useless its entertainment competing with Boyzone or the Corrs to get arses on seats .Interviewing Kenny is like interviewing a Kid with Special needs he is emotionless none of the players have any character even the commentators are bland .Last nights man of the match was substituted .Think about that .The Commentators were they saying Kenny was wrong to substitute him as he was the best player on the Park ?Italia 90 you knew the players and their clubs .I doubt many could tell you what club each of yesterdays players sit on the subs bench for .No Dumphy no Giles no Apre Match all part of the Entertainment .Saddlier yesterday before kickoff said the Keeper in normal times wouldnt be allowed near the pitch .
If the FAI lose the few Euro Champ matches that were to be held in Lansdown the FAI will be fucked for cash .Soccer in Ireland has died a slow death remember when the DDSL was the biggest league in the World .I was talking to Big Dommo once about this and local youth Clubs and Summer Projects .The reason all this Sports and Community stuff died was Garda Vetting .I ran our local Summer project and when Garda Vetting came in for people working with Children a few people approached me I was the Chairman and asked what was the story with Garda Vetting as they had minor convictions for robbing a bike or shoplifting in Woolworths and they did not want the Committee to know ,they were afraid that if they were drinking porter in the pub somebody would start singing "Heres the robbers passing by passing by "So they decided not to volunteer anymore to work with kids so Football and youth Clubs couldnt get the volunteers to run them and simply closed up shop .GAA and Rugby ran from a Clubhouse dont need as many volunteers as your local under 14 C schoolboy Club run from the local pub .
