Jaysus, can't believe today is the day.. No sleep last night, feels like I'm getting married or something. The belly is in knots.
C'mon the lads!

Goosebumps just having the breakfast before i get the train.Been going to games since 1972 and been at all the big ones and never ever felt like this.

The whole country is up for it and cant wait to get into landsdowne early because I think we will never ever see it like its going to be tonight.

You can do it lads.

If you go down to Croke Park today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to Croke Park today
You'd better go in disguise.

For every fan that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day that France will get it's ass kicked

Not quite Seamus Heaney, W.B. Yeats, or Oscar Wilde but I think you get the general idea.

I will do the other verses later perhaps.

**Ciaran W** · 14/11/2009, 9:56 AM

Come on boys we can do it ! The french are more afraid of us so lets take advantage of that !

**jaykay** · 14/11/2009, 10:00 AM

I have a good feeling about today - same as I had the day of Ireland v Holland 2001. 1-0 to Ireland it is so!!!!

COME ON LADS - BELIEVE!

**Stuttgart88** · 14/11/2009, 10:08 AM

I'm absolutely pumped. The photo of the team on the back of the Indo today really got me going.

Time for a loud rendition of "This is the one" - Stone Roses, pure euphoria.

**Ciaran W** · 14/11/2009, 10:14 AM

Lads today is the ultimate couch potato day
1.Scotland v Figi in the rugby.1 o'clock
2.Greece v Ukraine in the play offs.3 o'clock
3.Russia v slovakia in the play offs.5 o'clock
4.And then theres some match i think its Ireland v France or something on at 8 o'clock

**Stuttgart88** · 14/11/2009, 10:18 AM

For me:

1 o'clock - lunch with family
2 o'clock - go to playground
3 o'clock - go to library to get a Beast Quest book and anything to do with dinosaurs
4 o'clock - go to playground again
5 o'clock - kids dinner
5.30 - kids bath
6pm - put green jersey on
6.30pm - leave house and go to Corrib Rest

Not quite the same!

**Ciaran W** · 14/11/2009, 10:24 AM

I have a mate from Wexford who lived in Dublin. Before big games he used to go back to Wexford just so he could drive up again for the match. He said nothing matched the excitement of coming up for the game!
