France Versus Ireland Second Leg

As a neutral, I’ve grown to enjoy reading all your musings about your team and I hope you lads/lassies get the result you’re looking for tonight.

Keith Andrews 8/1 to get the first card…

Come on ireland!!!

On the Andy Reid thing, I agree it’s grown tiresome but for what it’s worth, here’s my input:

  • Is he the same player that flopped at Spurs? Yes, but over a stone lighter from what I’m led to believe. It’s disgraceful that a professional athlete had that much excess weight at that stage of his career, but I think it’s wrong to ignore the fact that he has now lost it and looks a different player.
  • Is he the form Irish player at the moment? Very possibly. I watched their game at Old Trafford. He was superb, and not just from set pieces.
  • Should he be in the team? I think only if you drop Doyle and play three in the middle. That’s not Trap’s system, so I’ve no real problem with that. I agree that it would be asking for trouble to play him as one of two in the centre and he’s not quick enough to play on the wing.
  • Should he be in the squad? Absolutely. He’s not a miracle worker, but would be our best option from the bench to create something when needed. I think he will be in the next squad, regardless of the result tonight. I just don’t think he wanted that to be the story for these crucial games.

Anyway, enough of that, more of this. C’mon Ireland!!!

I think we shouldn’t overlook the loss Liam Miller has been to this squad.

TUTTI PAZZI PER TRAPATTONI!

Gwan ta fook Ireland!

:eek:

Are you a neutral?

Never knew that.

C’mon to fuck Ireland.

Burton is in the Stade.

Sledge, our thoughts are with you. Do us proud young soldier.

Those Tony Cascarino ads for The Sun are pretty funny.

Kiss Me from Sixpence None the Richer playing in the Stade.

Jaysus those French are really psyching us out.

You can’t underestimate the British never say die attitude according to Souness.

Dunphy’s analysis here is so far past wrong it’s actually embarrassing.

Well if Jimmy Murphy said it…

:smiley:

Glendenning posts here?! :eek:

Actually kind of agreed with that pressing the ball thing.

What has Jimmy Murphy ever won?

Why doesn’t someone pull him up on it though?
