Hello Macky,
I quoted something you said on a long ago thread over the dinner table recently and got a reply that might interest you. I will admit that I did not mention it being a football forum since my host and hostess are non-football and the other guests probably much the same.
I did a favourite litanty of mine that usually amuses especially with the last line: "Every country has a job for those people who are really evil but do not have the courage to become gangsters. In Britain they become journalists, in America they become lawyers, in Italy they become accountants and in France they become waiters."
As one of the guests was an Irishman I added that an Irishman once told me that in Ireland they become priests. I was surprised at the vehemence with which he agreed and then added "The Christian brethren are even worse - real sadists."
If you and he are at all representative of Irish opinion it does seem to me that the Church must be in real trouble in Ireland.
I thought you would be interested and as a point of principle I usually like to let people know when I have quoted them.
Cheers
David
