    Match fixing

    Bit of a problem with match fixing in the League of Ireland recently.I understand it's to do with money being made on match results.The question is how can a team let goals in on purpose,surely it can't be easy to do this and make it look realistic.

    Shortage of Plasterers.

    In my opinion in Ireland anyway there will be a shortage of plasterers and indeed other trades over the next few years.There simply is'nt anyone coming through the ranks and when you live in a rural area it takes years to build a name up.It would be interesting to hear other opinions.
