[quote=“THE LINK WALSH”]You must have higher standards than me,i thought they were good looking girls and i mean that,your in bother here now Thrawneen, its going to be hard for you to keep posting on here after that disgraceful comment.
Rest in peace to those poor girls,i was on that road just last Week whilst canvassing for the IFA elections,its a lethal 10 miles or so,the loss of these lives should be having a far bigger impact than losing a Soccer game to France,theres another thing,everyones conveniently forgetting that we may have lost the penelties in any case,would anyone here back us to win the penelties??,i wouldnt.[/quote]
Ah they were my kind of women Sledge,they were only going to college so that they would quilify as teachers and return to the little villages they loved,they all worked in thier village supermarkets part time and returned home every Weekend without fail,thier families described them as homebirds,Country people.
There must be awful heartbreak over this all around North Galway.

Vote No.1 John Bryan,a record of delivery for farmers:thumbsup:
Be a little more incisive if any of that was true.
Lawrence and duff stayed wide thankfully and so stayed clear of diarrAs. Robbie playing as a striker got him his goal and his chances. Again diarras ent a factor there.
And thank god we didn’t attempt any crazy diagonal balls into corners with wingers llaying central midfield because we got so much joy from hitting those areas with balls from full backs. The goal kf course was the best example of thi.
But keep guessing son.
Just saw delaney and cowen on bbc asia. Pair of clowns. Fucking deeply embarrassing. We shoukd withdraw from sport if we’re not happy with the whole element of chance part.
[quote=“KIB man”]Seems we cant just take our beating. Its a little sickening to be honest. Let it go everyone.
Last night showed that we can play a bit. Robbie Keane dropping deeper offered a passing option to our central midfielders constantly. Same as our wide players, Lawrence in particular tucking in. The problem with the flat 442 as employed by us for the majority of the campaign is that our players were too isolated up front. The distance between our central midfielders and strikers was too much and our wide players were typically stuck to the sideline. Last night we were much more fluid tactically and as a result Andrews and Whelan had far more options to pass the ball to than before. Going forward id love to see our full backs push on more like Kilbane last night for the goal. The best way to defend it to keep the ball. We kept a clean sheet in Paris last night playing in such a manner so hopefully that is the way we will continue.
In saying that, how Keane dropped deep for the ball to feet it was criminal how the two Diarra’s failed to close off this avenue at all for the whole game. France were incredibly poor and this whole national outrage imo has more to do with how we should have won by two clear goals in normal time rather than by Henry’s handball.
Rock, u still hoping to get paid for your indepth analysis? , sit back for 70 mins, high balls down the touchline etc. I’d worry for the TFK astro team this year if a tactical neanderthal like yourself has sway over important decisions.[/quote]

Those 15 or so goms who were protesting outside the French embassy this afternoon are an embarrassment to our nation,they should have been fucked into a couple of paddywagons and ran across to Cloverhill to have there arses widened by some of the permanent residents for a day or two,twould have been the correct course of action to take.
Im assuming a few of you saw them on the 6 o clock news,they were being led by an auld fella with a megaphone roaring a very original “wha do we want,a reeeplayy”,shower of simpletons is all they were,there isnt eneogh FAS courses being set up in this Country by the looks of things.
Ill pick an African crowd who look like they could go well early on,theres alway one in every WC,Cameroon,Nigeria,Ivory Coast,Senegal etc,bought a Nigeria jersey for one World Cup,i think twas 98.

Guess you missed Lawrence tucking in, hitting a left foot pass into Duff who was storming through the centre for the chance to put us to the World Cup. Numerous other examples
I only ask, did you shit a brick when Ireland started attacking early and scored? Your tactical masterplan of holding back for 70 minutes was in ruins. I’m happy somewhat that the football philosophy that I espouse was proved right on the night. Keeping the ball, midfielders and forwards offering options to do that. Pass and move.
Think football has moved on from the days of a flat 442 where wingers hug the touchlines and the two in the centre get outnumbered. Its why England will continue to struggle in major championships. The kind of football you espouse - ‘fear football’ hasnt really been popular since the back pass was done away with in 1992. The likes of Jack Charlton, Graham Taylor and Howard Wilkinson did have some success but its time to move on bud
,ill post a thread on it later.
