Im going to paris tomorrow a proud Irish Soccer supporter willing to keep going till the final few seconds in supporting our national Team and **** the begrudgers. We will never dig ourselves out of the hole that Bertie & his cronies dumped us in if we dont have belief so BELIEVE its not a major miracle were looking for.

Er, Well Don't read that rag. It's pure S***. Disappointed by Fanning, albeit I thought we were 'rubbish' on the night, but what else do you expect from that other crock of ****, D*nphy.

I think my main problem with the RTE panel is that they have decided that they will evaluate Ireland based on how aesthetically pleasing they are, rather than how effective they are.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure if it was simply about being entertained, Andy Reid would be effective....but are you seriously stating that Andy would have been capable of making some of those tackles Andrews made on Saturday?

"Ah, but we've have the ball more if Andy played."

Bring out the facepalm pictures....

I am depressed already at the thought of the media autopsy after Wednesday night if and what seems likely France advance..There will be lots of talk of end of the road for Dunne, Given, Duff etc.. and with the exiled Ireland and the terrible result from the U-21 tonights the football future looks as bleak as the economic future...Christ I think I'll bury my head in the sand for a week unless of course we get a Miracle of Biblical proportions in Paris tmw

fingers crossed! :D

Although I just read Paul Parkers article in the French view thread and it lifted the clouds temporarily - Good on ya Paul I will sleep a little easier with your positive tones invading my sub-concious and fully expect to wake up tomorrow much more optimistic about Paris.....
