Is this a first for Indymedia Ireland, somebody writing a story on sport.b
The Drogs revolution.........they have been planning it for a long time ......so its revolutionary sport!!!!
BTW The drogs main strength seems to lie in the left side of defence.....Simon Webb....remember him?
I'm an old timer and I think it is.
More please :-)
Watched the match yestrday the Drogs played them off the pitch. Well done. Great advertisment for the game and hopefully will fill their terraces next season. Come on the FAI
Im an old timer as well and its the first sport reprort ive seen. Bout time!! Been meaning to write one for a long time but never got round to it.
Drogs got lucky, but well done nevertheless. The Drog revolution beat the Rebels themselves.
Is the photograph your own work or is it from some other source? 1 of IMC Ed
No, it is from this link.
Quite a lot of sport related stories eg
A Clear Case of Off-Side Dermo
Marx said that religion was the opium of the people but sport has eclipsed man's fascination with the supernatural. Football is the heroin of sport. I can remember the first time I stood with my father on a terrace and watched men chase a bag of wind around a field. I still can be found standing on those steps in all sorts of weather.

Well spotted ABU, but that is sport "related". This is actually sport itself.
A nice opium it is indeed in this crazy, f**ked up world of ours. Nice to escape into it for a while.
How long do you think it will before ye all are ABC?
The Drogs winning the cup isin't just a sports story, it'sa historic moment in the history of Irelands largest town, former capital and long time hot bed of sedition!!!!
Now where did I leave me works.......
...the first sports story? Haven't you got short memories?
Sure only last week I witnessed the best dodging of tackles that any of our Dublin 4 'Trip-up Crown Heroes' could muster on their best days.
Eight homeless people dodged and weaved like the best of them and made it all the way to line without as much as a Garda glove laid on them, even got their touchdown.....a sight to behold it was. The whistle blowers where nowhere to be seen!
There is no truth in the rumour that a representitive of Al Quaida is on his way Streetseen to negotiate a transfer for their services...and anyway the Eight Wonders of the World are priceless. No transfer fee could wrench them from us!
This is not sport, this is history!
....should that have been, "this is not history, this is sport" ?
And John Glackin played a blinder as he weaved his way through the Garda F.C defence and straight into the penalty area, however he later recieved a red card for dissent and had to be escorted from the pitch!!!!!!!!
Relatively speaking it was a much better and far more entertaining match at the Kildare Street ground.
unfortunately the fai don't allow "non accredited press" to shoot footage of their final so i had to grab a pic off the drogs!
