Notre Dame trample Navy with final score 50-10 at the Emerald Isle Classic in Dublin

bogsidebunny! You obviously didn't read Ireland's quality broadsheet The Irish Times' coverage at the weekend. You're unlikely to find any mention of the event in Irish editions of British tabloids. On reading your predictably petulant, negative and pessimistic posts, Irish-America is likley to recognise these stereotypical characteristics of your Ulster-Scot diaspora in them.

Great event, but not a big deal win. Navy does not recruit for football, or give football scholarships.

Aviva's first sold out crowd!

whatever about the media coverage of the actual game, they were apparently well behaved. There was a Mass at 11:15 AM on RET - national TV station which was very affirming of the history of ND and its early links with Irish Holy Cross priests and their football history and Irish Catholicism, as well as reference to the 244 Catholic Unis. and Colleges founded by the Church in the USA. The columnists and some media editorials here are so viciously anti-Church. Fair is fair but they repeat the same hackneyed litany every time.

Nary a word in the Irish press. The general attitude here is: "The Yanks had their pompous, overblown sissy football recreation, spend plent of money on crap souvenirs and ordered buckets of "Black & Tans" (????) at the pub. (racists yabbos). Now go back to America."
