Blue ROI

USMNT beat St Vincent 6-0. Should Trinidad and Tobago win tonight themselves and the US advance to the next stage in CONCACAF.

Dublin win by 2 points 0-22 to 2-14 (20). What a marvellous game of football. Semi final always throws up a best game of the year type match. Dublin looked finished at half time with a goalkeeping horror show worthy of Joe Hart but to their credit kept battling and flew in the face of their soft city boys reputation to emerge winners. A pure coincidence but they played each other in the National Football League (NFL!!) final the same day as the Swansea match back in April and it was the only regret that I had about being over at the King Power as they were being played around the same time. After the league final in Croke Park there was a commemeration event on the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising. Was the other way round this weekend but got to witness a cracker in Croke Park today.Dublin and Leicester win again. Would be great if there was more Dublin v Kerry/Leicester v Swansea matches on the same weekend! Playing the luckless mayo who have lost their last 6 finals and now must be favourites to lose number 7 in 3 weeks time.

Gaelic footballs El classico Dublin v Kerry starting at half 3. Its on sky sports. Dublins support has a fair few premiership football bandwagon types. No leicester city tops in the crowd yet though!

I'll post up stuff soon but I'd say the 00s may in time prove to be viewed as a very good decade. I listen to a lot more 00s albums than I do 90s ones which I view as a bit of a disappointment overall.

From Limerick. Been at a handful of games.8 in total. I was over at the Swansea home game back in April but I have been in the backroom setup of our inter county under 21 and senior football teams since late 2013 doing minor work so it's been a bit hard to find time to do much else. I was thinking in March 2015 that I was going to miss out on a premier league game when we were bottom and looking like relegation certs. Our season is over for the last 5 weeks so another trip I'm hoping to make before the end of this year. Cracking game in Thurles tonight. Kilkenny are some team to get the job done. Waterford didnt play as well as last week but the miss at the end was heartbreaking for them. Tomorrows game will hopefully be good too.

I would advise any of my fellow Leicester City fans to experience Gaelic Football and Hurling if they go to Ireland. It's a way of life over here. 2 of the finest sports in the world. Martin O'Neill was a gaelic football fanatic before football (soccer) came calling. My home club won the County football championship last October for the first time in 2 decades last year and the euphoria could only be matched by what I experienced last May. Tomorrow is the start of our season but I'll be off to Thurles to watch the replay of Waterford and Kilkenny in the All Ireland semi final and then hopefully a ticket for the football semi final between Kerry and Dublin 2 weeks later in Croke Park. Can't wait.

Any plans for a kindle edition? For both books?

Hello everyone. Long time lurker. First time poster. From Limerick but living in Cork Ireland. Lot of family living in Leicester. Mother was born in the city, grandmother still lives in the city and nearly all the relatives attend matches. Originally an Arsenal fan from around 1991-99 but the lure of Leicester City was too much. Always kept a lookout for Leicester results from 1991 survival right through the playoffs and onto the glorious Martin O’Neill era. My full time allegiance to Leicester started around 1999 as I was more concerned with how they were doing on Ceefax more so than Arsenal.Turned a bit sour in the 00s with a lost decade culminating in relegation in 2008 but a foxes revival thanks to Nigel Pearson which looked to lose momentum after he first left but came back to secure a playoff with an away win against Forest which for me was the launchpad for where we are now. And look where we are now. One 2015/16 win away from what is up there with one of the great sporting stories. The club who dared to take on the superpowers and within touching distance of the holy grail. Claudio Raneiri who we I thought was yesterdays man has could bring us our finest hour. Was over last week for the Swansea game. Fortunate to get a ticket. The hairs would stand up on the back of your neck thinking about it. Colour, kasabian, chanting,and most important of all 3 points on the back of a complete performance. The mahrez goal and its build up will forme remain frozen in time. Great for what it has done for the community. There is huge similarities with our national sports Gaelic Football and Hurling in that it unites the area and creates a huge excitement and pride of place as well as sporting excellence. These sports were founded in 1884 the same year as Leicester City. They are an obsession for us in Ireland the way football is in in Leicester. Irish greats like Martin O’Neill, Neil Lennon and Damien Delaney all played to a high level of Gaelic Football and no doubt helped create hard work, skill and character that shone in their time at Leicester City and beyond. I was pleased to find so many people of different backgrounds and cultures getting behind Leicester.The gods of the current squad – Vardy, Mahrez, King, Schmeicel etc and the legends that have gone before-Lineker,Lennon, Heskey. I’ve been lucky to witness my country take on the and beat world cup winners last October and make the euros after. I always believed that Martin O’Neill would get us there as he always deleivered the goods at Leicester. It’s not always been easy but no one is in any doubt about my allegiance to leicester. The 2004/05 home le coq sportif kit and battered grey 2011 Burrda jacket will silence a few. A fortnight ago I was in a pub for the Liverpool Borussia Dortmund game and all the friends were asking about us. I doubt I will ever get tired of telling this story. I’d like to wish all who get to live this most magical of journey’s over the next 2-3 weeks the very best of luck. It’s been a long time coming.Enjoy the moment all Leicester city fans across the world. Seize the day!
