From Wikipedia The "Miracle on Ice" is the nickname given to a medal-round men's ice hockey game during the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York, which occurred on February 22. The United States team, made up of amateur and collegiate players and led by coach Herb Brooks, defeated the Soviet Union team, who were considered to be the best hockey team in the world. The U.S. went on to win the gold medal by winning their final match over Finland, who finished 4th. The Soviet Union took the silver medal by beating Sweden in their final game. As part of the its 100th anniversary celebrations in 2008, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) picked the Miracle on Ice as the number-one international hockey story of the century.[1]

t'was the Wee County that bred me, but the Rebel County that made me...
from Dundalk to Cork, via UCC, old enough to know better, fiery fecker with a foxy beard on a mission to spread the love and enthusiasm far and wide...likes to talk, hard to shut up, bit excitable, big messer, big heart...find out more by tuning into red@work and say hello...ah go on, he won't bite...unless you ask him to bite that is in which case I am sure he would be only too happy to oblige...
Oh did I mention he is a Spurs fan? Yeah don't hold it against him he suffers enough as it is... and even though he now claims to be a Real Madrid fan, in his heart of hearts he knows he is a Spurs loser for life...having grown up watching Dundalk win leagues and cups, he has, over the course of many years, slowly switched allegiances to CCFC and is now a regular at Turner's Cross cheering on the Rebel Army and wishing he was over in The Shed...or better yet on the pitch in a green shirt...ahhh it's taken a long time to let those dreams go and damn it they still linger each and every weekend lining out for AUL Premier side Pearse Celtic...
yo any views or opinions expressed be the views of me and me only...try not to get your knickers in a knot and be warned that much of this material is often of a sensitive nature...peace out bruthas from another mutha (sistas too of course)...
