Ireland - Deutschland (1 Viewer)

[7 - No tomorrow]

My son is half-Polish. This is very exciting.

Which half?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Also, is anyone else here rooting for Germany?

I have a green German shirt from the WC. I think I may start the transition to the Bundes team.

Which half?

The top half is all Polack physical strength, defiance and aggression. The bottom half is pure nimble-footed genius like his old man. I predict big things for the boy.

So you're not Irish then...

Fair enough, I didn't see it myself, going on plaudits from Stoke fans here. Lots of them calling him a man of the match contender. Maybe he had an amazing first hour, or maybe it's just in comparison to his usual standard.

Maybe, or maybe I'm deeply prejudiced and see what I want to see.

A shocking sentiment regarding the island that produced Damien Duff AND Liam Brady.

You're right, two whole players!

If we're talking about the island we may well stick Mr Best in there.

At his peak Shay Given was the best goal keeper in the premiership and when he was just the right amount of pissed Paul McGrath was the best centre half in England.

John Giles

Roy Keane

Whoa Tommy Tommy,

Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy

Eglington !

No matter what team Trap throws out, the only way we could get even a draw out of this match is if we play good and Germany play shit. The chances of that happening are <insert witty pun about something that never happens>.

Roy Keane was hardly a master of footwork and close control was he?

When is this game?

Not a patch on Shay Given

Fucking cocksucking Friday games.

Thanks.

 

[Jerry Twig]

So, Brady is only on standby (hopefully he comes in for the Faroes game), and no place for Meyler or O'Brien, while bullet Ward and silky Keogh still get in.
Otherwise, not much else to say really, except that we'll not have Dunne and it's going to be a torrid evening at Landsdowne.

Thanks.

People were reminiscing about the schoolboy tickets for £2 back in the day, which reminded me that international qualifiers used to take place at 3 o'clock on a Wednesday. The atmosphere was fucking brilliant at those because people were out of work and school for the afternoon!

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

The training ground at Landsdowne filled with half-cut men pissing like racehorses

Good times

He was as good on the ball as anyone in that United side of 99 that won the CL. If you watch old Manure matches you'll see that Keane and Scholes rarely ever gave the ball away.

For Ireland he wasn't really in a position to play actual football.

I remember watching some of those in school! We used to have P.E as last classes on a Wednesday, so the P.E teachers would just bring a T.V into the gym and stick it on for us!
