Had the house and telly to myself today for a change and as I was browsing through the sports channels (as you do) came across a Setanta Cup match between Bohemians Dublin and Lindfied.
While the game lacked a little bit of class
I actually found myself really enjoying it.No frills football, lots of effort and passion as well as a not huge but very vocal crowd.Only thing wrong was the perfectly good but unused terracing behind the goals. ???
There are times when I've been watching far more technical and skillful leagues like the Portuguese, French ,J-league etc and yet find them so boring I've switched over or off.
Maybe the Irish game was just closer to the bread and butter football that most fans watch every week.I mean for every Messi,Ronaldo or Rooney out there there must be hundreds of plodders playing professionally every week.
Anyway that was only the first leg of the Irish game.......looking forward to the 2nd leg now.
Real football ftw..........
