Philip's Bio

Im a 32 year old Irish native living in beautiful Southern California. Having lived most of my life in Ireland i grew up with a passion for football and most notably Manchester United. I enjoy the game immensely but despair deeply about the repugnant business aspect that has diminished our spectacle. When not watching football i spend the rest of my time with my beautiful little son Aodhan.

Thanks for the fan-add. I'm guessing you looked at some of my soccer articles. I write about it every now and then, but mostly from a novice point of view. Feel free to set me straight when you can. Look forward to reading about some of your football pieces.

Thanks for the fan add Phillip - always great to have another Irish person on board. Pity you follow United though ha ha

Is that your small fella in the picture?? He's a picture of happiness :)

BTW, I know I sounded very offending, I didn't mean to sound that way. I just get into the heat when it comes to football. Sorry I acted the way I did :)
