    World Cup 2010

    whatever your take on this whole debate, i feel i must line up behind Droid in solidarity (i was going spare watching Henry's behaviour in a Birmingham bar that night w some mates, inc a lad whose gramps was from Dundalk) and agree that Ireland could well have made a better fist than the French...
