To be honest, lately I&#8217;ve pretty well lost the appetite for recording the unbelievably [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=footballpress.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4976302&amp;post=2058&amp;subd=footballpress&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Europe has a continent-wide football competition called the UEFA Champions&#8217; League. Both Scotland and Ireland have teams in this competition, though everyone knows neither has a snowball&#8217;s of winning the thing. In Scotland, newspapers reporting on the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=footballpress.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4976302&amp;post=2053&amp;subd=footballpress&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

How about Man United in a meaningless stroll against some bunch called an Airtricity League XI, and a Champions&#8217; League game at Dalymount Park. Still a no-brainer, of course.
