Lonely Planet Irony + Lucan Golf Club

Is it just me, or is there a touch or irony that on the day the Lonely Planet places golf 6th on its 'must-see/must-do Irish attractions', the Irish Times also publishes a story about two golfers beating the crap out of each other in the toilets of Lucan Golf Club?

What were they fighting about? Football. Am I surprised? No.

You know what they say: "rugby is a hooligans' game played by gentlemen; football is a gentleman's game played by hooligans."

The same would appear to be true about football fans. And besides, one of them was a Manchester United fan!
