I could just sit in on Galway's negotations with (say) Sligo next year over who has the best hot dogs, and hence who deserves the 3 points more, but then again I'm not a Galway fan, and so don't see that as the way things should be won

**TommyT** · 04/01/2007, 6:05 PM

Just cos Dundalk signed up to it doesn't make it right

Galway & Sligo's hotdogs (if they have any) are nothing compared to Mondogs so if promotion is based on that next year.....yippeee Mons in the bigtime!
