The revolution will not be televised (at least not the first 25 minutes anyway).
We've all done it. You're sure you're playing at home, positive. No need to check the fixture list, you just know.

Eagle-eyed viewers of Soccer Republic last night may have noticed the slightly different camera angle and colour tone on the footage for the first two goals from Mark Timlin and Christy Fagan and the second half effort of Billy Dennehy.
Lucky the FAI sold the international rights for the streaming of their games to Austrian firm Trackchamp, who we assume were also in attendance.
