In 1931, when US legendary banjo player Eddie Peabody returned after a successful 5 year tour of the British Isles, if his PR really understood which newspapers they were quoting to get more gigs back home? @BanjoMuseum @An_Phoblacht @RTElyricfm

Honest question how does Gibraltar (pop 40k) have 3teams in Europe, Ireland(pop 5m) just 4 but yet I'm watching the Imps in Europe group stages tonight. How bad has LOI become? Imps 1.5m running costs, SRFC 5m. Gibraltar FIFA rank 201, Rep of Ire 56th. Good luck @LincolnRedImps
