You strayed into County Roscommon so.
That town used to be part of Mayo about 100 years ago.
Just as well you didn't go in to the pub with a Mayo jersey on you after all.

Bloody hell I nearly did go with Mayo colours as was trying to get a Kilmovee Shamrocks hat on Saturday but all shut.

Someone looking down on me.

Yeah, almost certainly accurate (Not sure about the Tory or Orange Order links tbh, but certainly Masons were involved in the early days), but I'm not aware of City fans booing the National Anthem, or seeing "Mancs hate tories" banners

Incorrect, he was the minister of Tulllylish Church of Ireland and then Shankill Parish Church 5 and 3 years from my home.
And there is doubt about the involvement of his daughter Anna in the founding of the football club, but the St Marks cricket club is regarded as her idea.
Perhaps Gary James can post a link to his research.

Just done a bit more reading and it appears that he had been a Methodist before moving to Lurgan in County Armagh as an Anglican "lay preacher" before being "ordained" in Tulllylish Parish Church between Banbridge and Gilford in County Down and from there moved to Yorkshire (Harrogate) and then to West Gorton St Mark's

Ended up in a bar in Ballaghaderreen.
Few in but only one guy supporting Liverpool and he left before the end.No Blues of course.

Didnt know the Galaghers originated from Charlestown. Read somewhere that it got its name from an Agent called Charles Strickland. His work enabled a higher number than average to survive the famine.
