Is it just me or does it p!ss anybody else off when people call it 'The Euros'.
It seems to be a real English based thing that some of our ex players living in Britian have brought back with. Everything gets shortened up these days (ala text messages), is it really that much more of an effort to say the European Championships.

I agree. 'The Eurovision Footballing Contest' would be a much snappier name

Should we all start typing As Gaeilge too? After all, writing English is so English.
