Maybe TOWK could have his/her own thread or sub-forum where he can spout his/her opinions and anyone who's ridiculously bored or drunk or just in the mood for a row can go in and argue the toss with him/her to their heart's content.

Or maybe just send TOWK out on loan to Ybig. Either one would work.

Yes, to be quite frank, they shouldn't be going to a teammates' brother's wedding when they are supposed to be preparing for a qualifying campaign. I don't think that is unreasonable.

I don't like lads playing for 3 different countries, I don't like lads treating our underage teams as a launching pad for a senior career with England, I don't like lads declaring to boost their chances of getting moves at club level and I don't like Irish lads who have been playing all through the age groups being pushed aside once they reach 22 for mid-twenty somethings who are too sh!te to play for their own country. Again, not unreasonable, but I learn to tolerate it.

..... and that last paragraph isn't an assault on all English footballers who declare for Ireland, unless that is what you want to decipher from it.

Christ, still pushing the sexist line? You're a cynic beyond reason. You see the worst in everyone and everything. Is there anything you can like in this convoluted modern world, other than dictating to other people what to do?

Ah im sorry lads, i just dont read too much into friendlies :P

Back on topic - has anyone found a stream for the match tonight at all?

10-15 mins.before, the optimum time to ask.
Plus links on, er, YBIG. Or there will be.

So we've to wait up till 12:45am and then hope Costa Rica TV comes up trumps?

Damn well better be worth it! :D

Cheers anyway

Will anyone be sticking it up on youtube for later?

Aye Stu, sorry can't be more help...

Nah; sure it coincindes nicely with closing time, so will call it later on. :)

Somebody needed to shake things up around here.

Moving away from all the nastiness now.....

Plus wiziwig also...Thanks to Mr.T.

Strange Setanta haven't picked it up, although they have a habit of only picking up games on the day. I can only assume the money Costa Rican TV are looking for is too high for a game that's not on at a sociable hour.

yeah was gonna recommend Wiziwig - im sure someone will have a stream for the game on there

great streaming site

Well on goal.com readers have given ireland a 47.2% chance at a win, with 30.6 for the freaken ricans and 22.2 percent on a draw, at press time. Not sure how costa rica thinking they were playing northern ireland factors in.

I think I saw somewhere on the web this morning that Ireland are playing lowly Costa Rica, or something like that.

They're certainly not high-flyers like us. I'd like to see them boast an assistant manager who's the envy of all Aston Villa.

There is a youtube thing up for the game cast if you google it... I feel like an idiot asking this but do anyof you know how to copy and paste on here while using a tablet? My foot.ie experience has gone down with this thing. Cant copy and paste, see or use the thanks part or click on my name when Im too dumb to remember what thread I posted in, which is often.

Edit see if that works.

I do, I was just making the point that often there are pages and pages of nonsense to skip through and as I said that just makes this forum less enjoyable than it was

what tablet are you using?
On Android, there's a link under the "Share" icon to Copy to Clipboard. You can paste that into the reply window here

I'm the reason the forum is less enjoyable. :rolleyes:

Two to tango. There are plenty of people that love stirring the pot and get kicks out of provoking me and my rants.

Like Ardee said. If you don't like someone/something, ignore them/it, stop stirring the pot and stop lazily deflecting all the blame for something on to one person when there are loads of contributing factors.

Edit: And while we are on the subject of wading through nonsense, what about the Conor Sammon thread that has about 4 or 5 pages of recycled fish puns? And I could list 4 or 5 other examples. But I suppose it's my fault for that too. :rolleyes:

Well to be fair, I think we did that just for the halibut

I find it very hard to believe that the national team are playing and none of the TV networks are showing it, its insane!

Im not even in the country and will have to be streaming it anyway but Im sure one of them could have cut some of the crap they show in order to stretch the budget to show it!

RTE news at 6 didn't even mention the game.... Instead we were treated to tennis, horse racing, women's boxing, underage & wheelchair rugby.

Tbf, it's the sort of fixture that will probably be long forgotten within 2 wks...
Unless there's some sort of freak result...

No it was the other way around, Costa Rica are playing lowly Ireland. :)

On a side note how will they see the ball when it is pitch black?

Did we win the World Cup? Or it hasn't started yet?

Quiet you.

I'm all discombobulated and thought the game was on tomorrow for some reason. Didn't realise it was the 6th today. That's my night in sorted so.

A few days before in a lot of cases, after a few years of that Im finding it hard to adjust to the proper way again.... its the small things in life :)

I'm finding it hard to stay awake.i think I've the onset of malaria.but I won't cry foul and leave(pull out) early ill do my duty for my country regardless! !!

:D

Is it actually 1 kick off or slightly later?

one thing that worried me on wednesday was oneill and Keane kept saying what age is he now 34/35 siding on the 35.surely they should know? sounds like they have put him out to pasture already. ....ah no but if they have that thought big difference in 2 years....I hope delaney let them know.
