    A friend of mine pubished a football book - fun read

    He's a UCD fan, a tiny amateur university club in Ireland. They qualified for the Europa League via an unlikely route while getting relegated, and in spite of being probably objectively the worst team in the competition, they actually won a round. Kevin went to all the games, spoke with the...

    Reporting Posts
