I thought the animations were good....the bit about the in-laws arguing and the father being on the verge of depression as a result of what happened...very true
Also, couldnt help thinking what could have been....We had a very strong team looking back.
aw man I could have watched a whole series of the animations with the players heads on them....the eyes on animated Niall Quinn were classic....
What happened programme 2 it wasnt on last Sunday due to football , so they just showed 3 this week ?. I was a bit disappointed in 1 but I thought 3 was alright. When did they show 2 ?Quote:

I suppose Sport matters
Not sure. I'd seen it before on the History Channel or UKTV History or one of those, so I wasn't too bothered about seeing it again, but there definitely was a bit of messing baout with the schedule.Quote:

I dont think so, i read somewhere its being released in DVD from 5th of october.
What's being released on DVD on 5th October??? The programme on Saipan or the Stalingrad job?
BTW, 'Jungle Book 40th Anniversary Edition' is being released in November if anyone's interested :D:D
The Saipan Documentary is supposedly being released today.
That's like wanting to buy a dvd of a funeral :rolleyes:Quote:

We'd still be hungover from the world cup win. :rolleyes:Quote:

The Saipan hangover affected the team in the first two matches of qualification. If that wasn't there, we would have got more from those two games and Mc Carthy would have remained in charge. I think with Mick in charge, we would have also have done a lot better in the last two games and would easily have qualified.
Kinsella is the one who replaced Keane in the starting 11Quote:

I think it was the best chance we may ever have had.
We might not have done any better, but with the inclusion of one of the greatest players in the world at the time you would have to think he could have only helped the team - Who knows!
would have beaten cameroon, and germany.. then we sould have beaten parguay in the last 16, USA in the quaters, south korea in the semis, and then have been beaten 3-0 by brazil in the final...
Seeing as you have this Nostradamus-like ability to look forward and backward in time and into alternate universes, is there any chance you can let us all know the scores of all the matches on Saturday so we can lump on a huge accumulator and retire on Monday morning?Quote:
