    I just had a guy selling Rovers competition tickets at my door. I'd just like to now say...whooooooot wooooooo!

    SEE Y'ALL SATURDAY!


    Who me? I've always loved football. Yes sir-ee. Love it.











    P.S. Anyone know of a "football for dummies" book, needed urgently...

    No, I was playing hard to get! :p

    Well I'll be in full make-up, heels etc next week. You lot stick to the tracksuits, I need all the help I can get!

    I don't drink, so I'm not sure sober shouting at the ref would be as much fun. I'll go for the mysterious look, as the whole thing will be a mystery to me anyway.






    EDIT: Must learn to Multi-Quote. Apologies.

    Stay on topic!! We were obviously talking about the guy who was selling the tickets not the actual ticket - sigh!..... Weren't we?
    But do go Sueme. I don't understand the offside rule either - I am a girl after all....My friend sent me an email explaining it in female speak, I'll try to find it for you.

    Thanks Mrs T. You know, you don't have to sign which one you are, although your both barking, your posts are generally a little less so. :D

    I could just put Mrs....? I'm going to try and paste the "offside rule for girls"

    THE OFFSIDE RULE EXPLAINED FOR GIRLS!!!! You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have. The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The shop assistant remains at the till waiting. Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes. At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes. Always remembering that until the purse has *actually been thrown* it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other girl!

    Clear now? All set for Saturday then?

    You, Mrs T, are a star!
    See, clear as day now. Why can't men explain things properly...:confused:

    Btw, would red highlights be too much??

    Yeah, like it's simple, isn't it???!!!? Would the red highlights be on blonde hair? Coz that'll be perfect! Ticket selling guy will be astounded with your devotion. You'll pick a red that won't clash with my pink, won't you?
    Can't wait till Saturday!!

    I have "Everything a girl needs to know about football"

    I'm halfway through reading it too! (Mr Xiney bought it for me nearly 3 years ago but sure, it's more a reflection of my dedication than on the quality of the book)

    So basically, you'll have to be there (with book) to talk us through it....:D

    Unfortunately it seems I've had the shortest career as a rovers supporter in the history of the club - I work Friday/Saturday evenings these days :(

    Nights at the showgrounds are great, one of the only places you can spend 90 mins screaming abuse at complete strangers and not get arrested or carted off in a straight jacket:p

    Glamour Sligo Post Style? *retch*

    This does indeed look like a sign from heaven. But there's one or two flaws.


    1. I'm about 20 years too old for the Posts taste.

    2. Even if I wasn't, I wouldn't be to the Posts taste.

    3. The term "Roverette" makes me nauseous.



    Now, if "Irelands Own" were running a similar competition, I may be in with a chance...

    I heard today that Liverpool er.. ex-players (all-stars, retired, mature-ultras, I don't know the correct term) are playing in the Showgrounds during the summer. Theres a function after to meet them, one player seated at each table, tickets e100.

    None of this means anything to me, but I thought it might to ye!
