IFA Bulldoze Fans
Despite last nights peaceful picket outside the Irish FA headquarters, the organisation's executive committee sat inside and proceeded to take a decision that may just have been another nail in the coffin of football in Northern Ireland.
The IFA have agreed, "in principle" to up and move Northern Ireland football matches and cup finals out of Belfast down the road to a big field somewhere near Lisburn. Great news. Tony Blair and Peter Hain get their photo opportunity with a caption about them 'beating prison bars into goal posts', Sinn Fein get their hunger strikers museum, Ulster rugby get to continue playing at Ravenhill as if nothing has happened and attendance at Northern Ireland matches slowly but steadily dwindles towards nothing as people realise how soulless a 75% empty 42,500 stadium can be.
Taxi for Wells!
