Thierry Henry is going to be the subject of some jovial ribbing between now and Sunday on the BBC
Eire fans have just 3 days left to practice humming the French anthem 
Have you ever hummed the national anthem when your lips are around your missus’ clit, pal? The vibration drives em mad…get practising.
You would think they will go with the same 11 again. Maybe Walters for Long if he is fit but aside I would go for the same. It was a relatively young Ireland team last night, I think Murphy was the only one over 30 and the core of the side was in its mid 20s and will be around for the next WC and Euro qualifying cycles.
Coleman, Duffy, McCarthy, Brady, Hendrick, McClean are all in the 24 to 27 bracket and the group who will be the leaders in this side for the next 5 years or so. They should keep faith in them rather than reverting back to Whelan, O’Shea and Hoolahan. Keep Wes for the last 30 minutes again

If Walters is fully fit I’d slip him in for slab.
Is it time to drop Long and go back to having him as an impact sub with 20 minutes to go? I still struggle to remember Long play well in any game he has started for Ireland.

Id say he is fairly safe but apart from work rate he has been dreadful in the 3 games
France haven’t been that impressive so far, late goals in both their wins.
The longer it stays 0-0 the more restless they’ll get. Not sure they’d be up for a fight in the trenches if we get stuck into them. Any team with Koscielny in it will always give you a chance.

Can’t see us getting too many decisions tho… we can’t buy a fucking peno as it is.
I’ll take anyone to ref it other than Martin Atkinson and the Romanian chap from last night.
Martin (and Roy) should start the exact same eleven that started against Italy.
Hold the frogs until about 88 minutes then get the killer goal.
You’d be happy with the Turkish cunt who denied Long the penalty when two players hit him with high challenges as once and after we denied his home country a place in the knock out stages of the competition?
Ok, maybe not him either.
