This is an incredible oversight. Or was there one years ago that isn't mentioned anywhere online?

Come on fellas be kind
Kilkenny is way off the beaten track
Its only bookshop closed down in the early 60's
and the Interweb thingy isn't due for another 10 years.

Erm Jim.

I reckon that books in Ireland were probably banned in the mid 1300's under the Statute of Kilkenny .. Loads of stuff was banned by the ruling Englishers....
EG -
The Statute of Kilkenny had a lot of laws made to separate the English from the Irish. It was against the law for the English in Ireland to:
  • Marry an Irish person
  • Adopt an Irish child
  • Use an Irish name
  • Wear Irish clothes
  • Speak the Irish language
  • Play Irish music
  • Listen to Irish story-tellers
  • Play Irish games
  • Let an Irish person join an English religious house
  • Appoint any Irish clergyman to any church in the English settlement
  • Ride a horse in Irish style, that is, without a saddle.
Because of the weak government, they were not able to make people obey the new laws, and the Anglo-Irish ignored them.

But apart from that the only books on soccer would be related to Man United, Liverpool or Celtic and available in branches of Eason's throughout the Republic

I’ll be honest with you, I think his comment was a touch tongue in cheek... :)

At least I hope so... :cautious:o_O
