Tribal Loyalties

I'm not a football fan and won't even pretend to be one. I like to know how
Ireland are getting on and that's about it. I'll politely enquire about the
fortunes of teams supported by my menfolk, and I'll check the results
to see how Dundalk FC are faring. And that's it.
The only time I stood
in Dundalk's homeground, Oriel Park, was when my son was chosen
as a mascot some years ago. Even then I spent more time looking
at the crowd than the game.
But there's something tribal about football
so I do like it when Dundalk are doing well. 'C'mon the Town!'

The shadows and angles in the background support the sign so nicely. So well composed!

I like the way the buildings in the background put the sign into context.
