French "stars" arrive at hotel...

[Duggie]

seen on the sports bulletin this morning showing the french team arriving to paps and red carpet treatment to their paris hotel. i just thought come on lads we have to beat these and send them packing. did anyone else feel this? really annoyed me

Yeah we are definitely the under dogs - I have a felling we are going about this in the right manner - low key with a quiet inner confidence.

The French are the stars here all right but we don't even have to look to the David v Goliath. Ireland v England EURO '88, Ireland v Italy USA '94 and Ireland v Holland back in 2001.

We can do it!

Anyidea where they are staying in Dublin, wouldnt it be great to roll out a GREEN carpet for them when they arrive and have AidoM greet them with his new little flags:D:D

Last time they were here they stayed at the Radisson Hotel on the Stillorgan Road. Mind you, that was for proximity to Lansdowne Road so they may well change to somewhere Northside.

Fans in Dublin need to do what they always do in South America, that is to go to their hotel at all hours honking horns etc.

id say they dont think for a second that they will lose to us. we are up against it ok but if they are complacent we can take advantage of it

unlikely. they'll probably fly over on the day of the game..... would you be surprised? i wouldn't!

No doubt not true but funny nonetheless:

Hi there,
I, french supporter, really hope Ireland will win at Croke Park....on sunday against Australia (rugby test match)!!!
We have booked an hotel in Dublin, maybe we should inform that we also would like a red carpet...
Wish us all to see a great game in a fantastic stadium!

Excuse the "Froggie" comment, he's been in England too long! (although his family say not long enough)

Not long enough to clean off the smell of hay.
