    Found this on the RTE website, its about the Dublin CSC's trip to Hamburg in the uefa cup 96/97 season and a mixup about what it means to be a Celtic supporter.

    If youve nothing to do for 40 odd minutes give it a litsen!

    Nope. Well not according to FIFA anyway, been wearing the Hoops since 1928

    http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/clubs/club=44170/index.html

    "The first episode of Sporting's fierce local rivalry with Benfica took place on 1 December 1907, Os Leões (The Lions) winning that match 2-1 wearing their original jersey consisting of just two thick vertical stripes - one green and one white. Their neighbours would prove decisive in Sporting's adoption of the green-and-white hooped shirt they wear today. On a tour of Brazil in 1928, the football team temporarily wore the hooped shirts of the club's rugby wing - which were more suited to the balmy Brazilian temperatures. In October of that year, during a match against Benfica played in stormy conditions, Sporting changed their sopping shirts at the interval for the rugby jerseys and went on to win the match - thus cementing the shirt's place in the players' favours"
