Irish fan conned his way into Estonia’s manager dug-out at Aviva game

About a year ago on a flight to New York, I talked to a Marine who has just returned from Iraq. He stated that they would put bombs in soccer balls with remote detonators and then kick them to a group of Marines. In this case, the phone detonator malfunctioned.

I must admit this story gave me a great laugh & a ‘Fair Dues’ salute to him... BUT! But but but!.. This shows up a huge security blunder by the Lansdowne Road stadium staff. What’s worse about it is the publicity that has been given to the story, especially via YouTube and how he got pitch-side with a bag of balls. Now every wanna-be terrorist has the makings of a plot to slip in and hit the Olympics in London next year, or ANY sporting event anywhere in the US or any country. A bag of balls casually slung over the shoulder? Nope; how about a bag of bombs looking like balls... Suddenly Conor’s caper is not funny anymore.

Guy is a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fair play Conor
