Only rolled in in 89. Ronnie Whelan had scored against USSR in 88 Euros. Our teacher brought his telly in from home then for the Italia 90 qualifiers v Northern Ireland when Ireland won 3-0 at Landsdowne Road. Ronnie scored one of them. It was played at 1pm I recall.
Anyway a few weeks later Liverpool were playing Wimbledon or someone on Sports Stadium and Ronnie was playing. My father explained that players had clubs as well as countries that they played for. Been a Pool fan since and have vague memories of them winning 1 (one league).
Irish people by and large canāt think for themselves. Youāve fellas jumping up and down freedom from Britain and it hasnāt dawned on them they are ruled by the Germans now.
I am attending pre-season trial matches in Reserve and First Grade tomorrow for the Battlewin Premier League on the NSW Central Coast (Fitzy jnr not playing as heās injured but should be back training on Tuesday).
Does this make me a Footix?
Could any of the Footix here, or even one of the zonal marking crew, tell me if ajax games are family friendly. I am in Holland semi regularly and the young fella is mad to go to see ajax
I was only in the stadium on a tour but I couldnāt imagine it being rough for run of the mill league games. From memory its a good bit out and there isnāt much around
