Am I mad or do I remember Richie Dunne playing left back that match? With Glen Crowe coming on?Quote:

Only memory of that match is Alan Mahon sending a corner straight into the side netting. God, that was a terrible game.
According to the FAI they have also provisionally scheduled a return fixture with England in November 2014 (18th/19th is the friendly date on the FIFA calendar). Presumably this will be cancelled if we draw them in the Euro 2016 qualifiers... jaysus, that is a long way off.
I presume we get a one-goal start in Wembley to take account of David Kelly's goal in 1995.
That was in 2000, 1-0 defeat at Lansdowne. debuts for Barry Quinn, Doherty, Dunne and Alan Mahon. Terrible stuff. The 0-0 under Givens was two years later, another awful game. Doesn't auger well for November.Quote:

I remember watching it in Chasers in Ballyfermot. Jaysus, was probably drinking Bulmers too. Eugh.
Ya that one with crowe was away from home, everything about it was drab. Completely meaningless.
Don't get the two confused.
The more the merrier. Can't see there being any problem with tickets, not nearly as big a game for them as it is for us.Quote:

Our prayers have been answered. Friendly confirmed against Greece on November 14 with Poland to follow on February 6, both in d'Aviva.
A fight of Debt.
fight to the debt, surely?Quote:

Havent read much about it since it was announced to be honest.
I'm looking forward to the prospect of facing England in May, but there are seven World Cup qualifiers this year that will decide whether or not we'll be off to Brazil in 2014; each of those games is much more important than any friendly against England.Quote:

Getting charged up about playing England is like something you'd hear up North.... as though England were the Princes of world football or something and we're honoured to have them playing us...
C'mon, lets grow up and set our outlook higher...
