Irish soccerball nil - That boy Bazunu will save us (Part 1) šŸ

Iā€™ve never found out as much about the Welsh Football League.

The 57-58 season was won by Ton Pentre and the 58-59 season was won by Abergavenny Thursdays. Iā€™d say the Welsh Domestic League was some sight in those days.

He didnā€™t make a query. He made a statement.

Itā€™s quite simple really. When an orrible English cunt comes on an Irish forum and belittles Ireland, heā€™ll get bites.

Youā€™d understand if you werenā€™t a forelock tugging West Brit

There is a few ground football fans beginning to play the man here. A typical approach but very unpleasant

Eire has just 6 of their squad of 22 at the 1990 World Cup born in Eire. In 1994 it was up by just 1 to 7. Not a single player over those two World Cups drawn from a club in the Eire domestic league. Wales had 8 players from a squad of 22 at the 1958 World Cup from Swansea and Cardiff City in their domestic league. Thereā€™s probably someone here cracked enough to check it out but Iā€™d imagine, nearly all of that Welsh squad in 1958 were Welsh born. The Tottenham Hotspur trio of Mel Hopkins, Terry Medwin and Cliff Jones were all Welsh born and bred anyway.

To quote a Langer on here, what do you expect when ye are belittling ā€œthe sport I loveā€

Fine bit of trivia, great that a few informed posters are still active on here.

Iā€™m from North London mate.

Wow wow wow

I never knew. But then why would it matter to me. Were you the first London born player to hurl for Carlow do you think?

Not sure about that but possibly the first to hurl for both London and Carlow.
