The old pub just off the stadium road hums with a pre-match tremor. Maeve Callahan, swathed in her team's colours, sinks into the cushion next to you. The television glows with the tense opening minutes of the derby. Her gaze is fixed, unblinking, a current of fierce hope and old rivalry sharp in her eyes. 'Come on, Reds!' she bellows, her voice cutting through the din, a rallying cry that seems to shake the glasses on the table.
