A game of football can either 90 or 120 minutes; if the Crues-Newry game was the second leg of a cup tie and we'd lost the first 1-0 yes, I'd be pretty insistent on extra time. (For the obvious reason, but also just in case some of the nutters on this thread thought Newry should progress, without actually winning but as they would otherwise be under-represented in IFA competitions or something).Quote:

Get over it lads, He’s Irish, he plays for Ireland!
Rightly or wrongly, The match ultimately was a draw. Bit like most of the matches in the group!Quote:

The word here is consistent, NI also have had some very good away draws (e.g Germany)
Agreed.Quote:

We haven't beaten a bigger and higher ranked country since Euro 96 qualifying (Austria) or one of the top two seeds/ favorites since WC 1986 (Romania).Quote:

He's pretty bitter, and McStay isn't the first in recent times to play for us(according to that poster), it'd probably be Mark McKeever who was playing for the R.O.I U-18's and U-21's back in the late 90's.
Shouldn't really get into this....I accept the tie was lost (have to), but you are technically incorrect. Ireland won the game in Paris 1-0. If we hadn't won the game there wouldn't have been extra time. A game is 90 minutes plus injury time. If not, we should get France back to Dublin to play the remaining 30 minutes from the first game! Extra time was played because France won in Dublin and we won in Paris.Quote:

Although everyone is encouraged to play and I personally love to see it, its still deeply rooted in catholicism
When a game goes to extra time the result recorded is the one after 120 minutes. FIFA record the match as a draw and it is recognized as such in the list of results and for the FIFA rankings. The FAI will do likewise.Quote:

I can remember a couple of young lads called Hicks & Lagan playing for Ireland u17's in 98.Quote:

Not a great record overall, but under Trapp, Ireland have become hard to beat given he doesn't even pick his strongest team! And even the most begrudging Orange bigot might admit we 'enjoyed' no luck v.the French!!!Quote:

As for Maths;careful with the hypocrisy! ;)
A no.of relations alive at the time, told me it was accounted popularly and subsequently, as being 'in error' due to being a foggy night. And bombed Beal-feirste (and Dublin) and error.Quote:
Not only would they have needed to have got lost between Dublin and
Liverpool- but also fail to spot the difference between an east- and west-facing coastline. Maybe the Luftwaffe crew forgot their compass that night?
Before you get all paranoid, some of them were no fans of the 'Dev' propaganda machine....

The irredentist Citizenship laws of the Irish Republic afford me Irish Citizenship - I am a British Citizen by birth too.
How do you think "nationalists"from Northern Ireland qualify for the IFA International representative teams...the IFA being a "British" Association, as per FIFA Statutes?
PS: Adams isn't a very "Irish" name, is it?
Why did the tie go to extra time?Quote:

As said before, have family born in Doire & Beal-feirste and just have Irish passports. They're not interested in a British one or denouncing something they've never had. Not that anyone has ever asked them!
;)
If you want a Brit.one, bully for you or whoever. Maybe 'thank' them for their past colonial antics, will you?
And what's the relevance of the 'Adams' mention??
Know where yer coming from, but the smart a**es have got it right. And yes, we were robbed.Quote:
