Yeah I think it's 1am or thereabouts. Being able to see it in the hotel bar was the dream but I would have settled for being able to record it and watch it the next day! Ah well.

No doubt there will me many more on the day.
Although as this is a leap year it will on the 8th not the 7th as advertised.
This wedding plague is spreading.
It's saturday night, until you wake up into Sunday.Quote:

Can anyone answer why Long is constantly chewing gum or whatever it is on the pitch? Is there a particular reason for it related to performance?Quote:

I agree with everything Joe says here, I would hope that someone is spending extra time with him coaching him on his finishing. And someone tell him to get rid of the bloody gum before he chokes on it!
What are the odds of Ronaldo playing against us next week?
It's Portugal's last WC warmup and he sat out their last game with an injury.
I'll be there and expecting a big Portugal turnout due to the golden boy, and also the match falls on June 10th, which is "Portugal Day".
He'll surely play some part if fit.
Pretty low I'd say. He has a thigh injury and there's worries he won't make the Germany game so it's unlikely we'll see him before then.Quote:

O'Shea and Coleman were never going to travel. I expected Delaney to go but he's had a long season so maybe he's just wiped out.
and ward too. It's a completely different backline
we're on about consistency in performance how can ye have that with completely different teams lining out.
In my opinion all that matters is we find a new midfield or a new partnership somewhere.
Let's find a new midfield, that's a splendid idea.
McCarthy & Hendrick. Done.
Well exactly that would be a new midfield partnership.but they don't really have much experience playing together or an understanding of each other
Ive found the hotel they are staying at. I may pull a fire alarm at 4am to see how they react to adversity. Also Ger Crossley and Johnser Keane are signing autographs at the hard rock cafe in times sq on saturday if anyone is interested. But its going to be tough to get a good turn out for that as the Rangers have made the cup finals and people are Ranger centric right now.
As CD said, O'Shea and Coleman were always out. Delaney is a shame but biggest loss is Clark, on basis that we could do with him staking a claim to the left back berth. But it's a 29 man squad and 22 or so players are still traveling.
Apparently he chews nicotine gum, so I've heard anyway. He really is an awful finisher, no composure in front of goal.Quote:

Caffeine or nicotine gum.... to fight the craving for a cigarette and a cup of coffee, any wonder he cant concentrate in front of goal with all that going on :)
Gets the jitters every time he's clean through on goal.Quote:

That is a good point actually, I am surprise there is not some sort of ban as caffeine is a stimulant,Quote:

Obviously having faster reaction might help but as you say it could also have the effect
of giving you the jitters in front of goal. I hope he is keep track of his goal scoring rate
since he start using it to see if it having an adverse effect or not.
Italy 1-1 Luxembourg and it was Italy's full team bar a couple of late subs :rolleyes:
What gum do Luxembourg's forwards chew?
Caffeine gum is pretty low in concentration compared to caffeine pills for example. As far as I know, drug tests test for caffeine so if you've got abnormal levels it is banned.Quote:

Costa Rica will be shocked when McGeady and McCarthy step out instead of Oliver Norwood and Sammy Clingan.Quote:

that's their 4th draw in 9 months....certainly takes the gloss off ours when we couldn't even score!!! like I said these games mean nothing only hope for partnerships and understandings to form but if different players playing the whole time then we don't even get that.
These 4 games could be completely useless
