Dear Mr. O' Mahony

I read you jounal entry for June 1st with deep surprise and astonishment.

In it you claim that myself, Paddy, Ger and Aidan were so intoxicated that we were unable to make our way to the game. I am shocked at this scandolous and scurrilous report that has caused myself and my colleagues immeasurable emotional distress and personnel anguish.

I wish to put the record straight. Obviously the reason why we were trembling uncontrollably, swaying from side to side and unable to put a coherent sentance together was due to pre-match nerves and tension.

Unlike some fair weather supporters like yourself the rest of us have being planning this trip for over 18 months and when the day finally arrived to support The Boys in Green, praise Niall Quinn Disco Pants and dream A Team of Gary Breens we all suffered a brain drain. Also it was obvious to everyone that the stench of Alcohol was coming from the Japanese suits at the breakfast tables.

As such we demand a front page apology. Otherwise full legal proceeding will be brought against you.
