I've researched some of family history and found out that we originated in County Sligo
Know who else is from County Sligo...none other than Brother Walfrid
This website is a great resource for checking into Irish family history and beginnings
The poet WB Yeats comes from there, also Bram Stoker's mother (her son wrote Dracula)
I intend getting over to check the place out at some point

Lovely part of the country dill, but then you could probably say that about most of the country.
Ancestry.co.uk is a great website if you're doing family history. They also do dna to get the full low down on where you're from and then link you with distant and sometimes close relatives that you didn't know about.

Wouldn't go so far as to enforce pledges upon people. Unionists accepting their Irish identity is a good step in the right direction. Their grandchildren will be...........

There's no need for that. I think the biggest embarrassment here is the fact at how quick the so-called staunch loyalists started to jump ship. Rats and all that craic.

What a farce. An hour before kick off and Martindale is out helping his ground staff sort the goals because the crossbar is the wrong height! These amateurs make a mockery of our national sport.

An amazing statistic is that Erling Haaland has already scored more than 1% of the total number of goals scored by Man City in the English Premier League & European Champions League! He just started with them this August! He is a phenomenal goal scoring machine.

It's going to be interesting watching him to see if he can continue this form.
So far he's ran ragged everyone he's faced.
It helps when you have players like city do around him but what a start hes had.

How does Ronald make the top twenty, he has hardly kicked a ball for the last season and a half ?. Even Messi has done better with PSG than Ronaldo has done for a while

Neil Lennon has been sacked by his Cypriot club. They are 7th in the league and he is fired a week after losing 1-0 to a 93rd minute winner at Old Trafford!

I think it was Johnny Giles asked a similar question when Beckham won European footballer of the year. "he's not even the best footballer at his club".
