Madam, - I am first and foremost and always a dedicated GAA man but, since the mid- 1940s, I have also been an avid follower of the Irish international soccer team. I want to say simply and clearly that it has long been my very firm conviction that our soccer analysts (of both print and television) constitute our greatest obstacle. - Yours, etc,
Fr ANDREW JOHN KANE, OP, St Dominic's, Athy, Co Kildare.
