[Gary Waddock]

See u there Breener, give me a shout when u arrive...

France 0
Ireland 1 (Andy O'Brien)

[Colm55]

Mise Freisin

Finished work, plane to catch tomorrow at ten am

Hoping for a win but reckon it'll be one a piece, they'll score first and Robbie Keane will repeat his finale against the germans from the world cup!!

See yeh all over there - the tower - 2pm

[Donal81]

I'm finishing work in the next 20 minutes, hope everyone here has a ball. Apparently it's not illegal to drink in public in France but illegal to be drunk so it's a matter of keeping that balance....

Here's to a great weekend...

For some reason, I feel an absolute cracker in me bones. 2-1 to Ireland, reminiscent of Giants Stadium (although obviously with a different score). Up against classier opposition with dynamite strikers, we'll control midfield and prevent a goalfest. We'll go one up with Robbie Keane getting a striker's goal. We'll go two up before the break from a corner, one of the defenders, I'll go for O'Brien. After the break, it's backs against the wall as they pile it on. They get one from Henry but it's not enough. Although I was thinking completely different about it yesterday, the excitement is getting to me. F*ck it, let's go for it and get the win, the first great performance under Brian Kerr.

Have a good one...

[Feck off]

Well its finally here i am finishing work in the next few minutes then heading to the local with the 16 other lads making the trip for a few beverages to get into the swing of things.. Flying out at nine in the morning so i will be there for session on Firday night.. Honestly can't wait...
Predictions for the score... Would be happy with a draw..... But i have a feeling that with so many of us there the lads will lift there game and we will get all 3 points and we will really have something to celebrate on Saturday night.. Scoreline France 1 Ireland 2 Duff and The boy Roy......

See you all there at the tower.... :D

[joeraki]

I've to spend nearly the whole day travelling with the rovers ultras so I'm just hoping its not my last post ever !! :D

1-1

[G-Man]

6-0 : Keane with a hat trick, Duffer with two, and Given will pop up for a header at the end to rub salt into the wounds!! Come on Ireland, see you all at the Tower!

[supasparx]

France 0
Ireland 1 (Zindine Kilbane)

[Jerry The Saint]

As with so many other things, the English have set the standard on things like this. We should accept nothing less than a 1-5 victory! Robbie Keane hat-trick plus one each for Killer and Clint.

Here's to a massive weekend in "Will Young" Paree, whatever happens!

[4tothefloor]

I'll go for a 1-1 draw. Henry to score for France, Robbie Keane for ourselves. I have a feeling though that Roy Keane is going to score for some reason....he looked menacing getting off of the team coach today.

If ye see me at the tower, i'll probably be one of the only ones there with a Limerick FC jacket, so say hello. Come on you boys in green!

[Princess Leia]

You're probably all pretty much on yours way to Paris by now but I reckon it'll be 2-2 with a last minute equaliser from Robbie Keane (he's good at that!)

Wish I was going - sure its going to be a mental trip, but unfortunately no can do. (Can someone take some balloons in on my behalf? Cos it's a great idea) Hopes yous all have a great time (know you will!). COME ON IRELAND!!!

(Also hope I'm wrong and that Robbie gets a winner!)

[cailinmaith]

a cracker in store!

france 1
ireland 2 (the keanes)

[Peadar]

I've go so carried away with everything this week I haven't even checked the kick-off time!

[Bluetonic]

Right then time to head off to the auld airport for a flight to CDG!

See you all under the tower tomorrow....I'll have the DRINK, FECK, ARSE, GOALS flag!

[liam88]

You're probably all pretty much on yours way to Paris by now but I reckon it'll be 2-2 with a last minute equaliser from Robbie Keane (he's good at that!)

i know u cant compare teams like this but....

goalkeeper IRELAND
barthez given* ireland

defence DRAW
gallas carr*
squillaci = cunningham (dont know enough to compare)

silvestre * oshea

midfield IRELAND
wiltord* reid
mavuba = kilbane
dacourt keane*
pires duff*

strikers FRANCE
henry* keane
cisse* morrison



so i reckon not much between the teams quality wise

[Peadar]

strikers FRANCE
henry* keane
cisse* morrison

What makes Cisse better than Robbie?

[Barna Bee]

it is about 1 hour before i leave here and i feel the need to type this now to waste a few more moments .

I am going for a 1-1 win for ireland.

i think that this would be a great result for us, against what is still an excellent french team.

my journey will take me to Putney station (trying to watse a few more mins:-) to waterloo, to The City , to the DLR, to City airport.to Orly
arriving at 9.35 . I expect to be clearing my throat and sinking my first by 11pm latest.

Bast of luck to all of you.

have a great trip....and sing yer holes off.

it is now 3.33pm and now I have 57 min to go...

what can i do for the next 50 mins or so.
