Committed readers will know that each year I get very excited about the Setanta Cup. It’s a football competition that puts the best 4 teams from the south against the best 4 teams of the north. Linfield being the biggest club on the island will of course be taking part and did of course win the competition in 2005 (See photo below). Unfortunately for some last year sorted the wheat from the chaff and lesser teams like Portadown will not be featuring. Should you fancy coming along with me here’s the dates for your diary:

Looking forward to the 18th Oct especially bro, a wee weekend away to Dublin just a week after my Bday to watch the blues....perfect :)
Boring......
Niall Blues Brothers aren't made they're born... I'm so sorry you were born without the blue gene!!
Any fishing of late?
Go on Niall, You would love it if we 'supported our country' and went with you to a Norn Iron match, so come with us to a Setanta...It's cheaper and just as much craic. Let's do a boys trip to the 18th Oct match,for my Bday. We can stay over and everything.
P.s I support N.I just not like you :)
NO NO NO NO I couldn't bare to listen to nixon complain about the standard of Irish league football amongst other things... ;-)
