Ireland vs. France (1 Viewer)

[Moods For Mallards]

It would surprise no more on Saturday if Ireland win 2-0 than if France hammer us 5-0. The sheer unpredicability of our biggest game in years is what's making me so nervous. I cant fucking wait for this.

Sure this is it.

And I suppose you've watched France's qualifiers as closely as Kerr.

I was in the dug-out at every game

Good piece.

It is a good piece. Glad to see Kerr has got over his histrionic screeds and got back to what he's good at.

All this reminds me of Dumb and Dumber.
'What are my chances, 1 in a 100?'
'More like one in a million'
'So you're saying I have a chance!!!'

 

[coast to coast]

The key thing is to keep a clean sheet at home if you ask me. 0-0 at home would be a fantastic result. 1-0 also, but only if we score late through some fluke, not too early. We don't want to frighten the French players into realising how much better they are than us. So ideally 0-0, stroll over to France where they are complacent as fuck, get HT 0-0, score with 10 mins remaining from a set piece, inevitably concede with the last ten minutes but scrape through on away goals.

The dream!!!!

Defo, if we can keep them from scoring on saturday we'll be well set. But if we do concede, don't let it be in the last minute of extra-time.

If I had the patience I'd find an old post I wrote following the exact same progression, but mine was more a detailed glorious vision of the future with tales of the goal scorers and the crowds roar all the rest. I should have won a prize for it but I didn't even get a +1 score from Thumped.
But as long as we get to World Cup, I will get over it.

France's population is a lot bigger than 3 times ours.

Why don't you pay attention to internationals? You part of this militant League of Ireland brigade who hate the FAI and pretend they don't know what's going on in the Premier League?

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Not paying attention to internationals is a horrible thing to do.

 

[I Bleed Black]

Toulalan possibly out injured, massive plus if it's true.

yes and no.genuinely dont like the fai,as for the premier league-i dont pay it too much heed,not because i think im morally superior supporting an irish team but because im an incurable romantic when it comes to football and would rather watch football at a lower level where it seems more accessible to the average man.so in the irish off season id try watch some blue square football or head up north for some games
