I know he isn't the first to do this and can't blame him from a personal point of view, but I'm just hoping it may have some kind of negative effect on the squad now, can always hope.
Where can i buy the panini stickers? A normal Newsagents/Magazine place?
how many abnormal sticker places do you know?Quote:

The Croatia squad is announced now folks. Here's a link: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2012/0510/320446-dfsff/
Interesting the manager says he would prefer Ireland were more attacking. Justification for Trap's boring tactics, or mind games?

But primarily mind games, was on Off the Ball about a week ago and kept bigging up Ireland and talking down his own teams chances.
Useless piece of information alert. Slaven Bilic is a big heavy metal fan and this is his band's song for Croatia in Euro 2008.

An honest assessment when you consider the group we are in. And just as Croatia are targeting this game, so are we. Mind games are all well and good except when they backfire and I am sure the lads will make this happen!
I had heard this before but wasn't sure if it was true, I have even more respect for the man now after learning this.Quote:

Truth be told, they were free last week, as i have been informed. Like the rovers game always looking for the free stuff stutts. There is definitely jock in you alright :PQuote:

Well, if they were free my newsagent robbed me. And again, I thought it was a communal curry!
He's a qualified lawyer too.Quote:
