I think Pat Grace was also the owner and a player at one time with Limerick United and featured in the team which gave Real Madrid a hell of fright back in the 1970's in the European Cup. So yes, the FAI/CIE cultual link is very true.
So Limerick United/City/FC would be railfreight - should be major force, but has vanished from the scene.
I can think of a few weirdos on IRN and Boards.ie would would be the rail transport version of the Dundalk FC bloke with the gallon of petrol the other day. Except he would probably be even more grounded in reality then some of that shower.
Being a life-long Bohs supporter myself and rolling in obscene amounts of other people's money. I would have to say that Bohs are the National Toll Roads of Irish soccer.
