Happy 50th Shane MacGowan!

Shane MacGowan has reached the grand age of 50 today. Despite all the garbage written about him dying and only having six months to live, the man goes on and on performing great live gigs wherever and whenever he can. Great song-writer, great performer, great poet, and a great philospher!
Fair play to you Shane - have a good drink today, and I hope you don't mind me joining you and drinking to your health.
Go mbeannaí Dia duit!

PREMIERSHIP TOP 4 CONSPIRACY EXPOSED!

Undercover investigators from CFTS have revealed a soccer conspiracy involving the so-called "top four" football clubs in the English Premiership. The conspiracy goes all the way to the top, from cleaning staff to UEFA itself. It includes match-fixing, bribing referees and players. This is to maintain the position of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool in the top-four. They will eventually become part of a European Elite super-league. Top Sporting TV Companies, Soccer Chairmen and Managers, certain players all stand to gain millions of pounds from this deal - which garantees exclusive TV rights to all the super elite clubs. The job of the match officials is to ensure no other Premiership team break into the "top four". We are already seeing evidence of this in the Premiership where referees invariably favour the top 4 clubs with key decisions in games.
Are we as honest soccer supporters going to allow the greed of a few to destroy our wonderful game? I call on all true supporters to protest at grounds, TV stations, Fleet Street or anywhere our voices can be heard - so we can stop this filthy conspiracy!
