Madam, - I note with interest the report that offering free drinks to rugby fans if they return to their usual post-match pub on the southside is not in breach of alcohol legislation ( The Irish Times, February 8th). In the spirit of sporting union (shared use of Croke Park and so on), perhaps the FAI would like to follow suit and offer free drinks to all supporters after each soccer match. - Yours, etc,
